America 1919-Chapter 948 - 323, Who is the real winner_3

Paul Warburg’s expression instantly changed, then he forced an awkward smile: "I was actually joking with you, Block. Don’t take it seriously, alright? You’re the child’s father, of course, you should stay with the child!"

After saying these words, Paul Warburg felt immediate regret in his heart, realizing he had been too hasty just now, which led to some missteps!

"Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. I guess the kitchen should have dinner ready now. Let’s go eat!" ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Paul Warburg nodded.

After dinner, Paul Warburg left the manor, and it was only then that Janine Woburg found the chance to speak alone with Donnie.

"Paul just told me he wants me to return to Germany during the pregnancy!"

Donnie looked at Janine Woburg, whose expression showed displeasure, and asked, "How did you respond?"

Janine Woburg explained, "I refused him, but I’m worried he’ll bring this matter up with you too, so I wanted you to refuse him as well!"

After Donnie had a conversation with Paul Warburg, he kept Paul Warburg within his sight and temporarily chose to believe Janine Woburg’s words.

"Hmm, I’ve already refused him!"

Hearing Donnie say this, Janine Woburg finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Donnie smiled at Janine Woburg and said, "I know that when you came to the United States, your family must have said certain things to you about me. Now that we have a child, there are some matters I still want to clarify with you!"

Janine Woburg’s expression showed some awkwardness. Although she knew that Donnie was surely aware of these matters, now that he was bringing them up openly, she still felt nervous inside.

"The child you’re carrying is yours and mine. On that point, you can rest assured— I will never let his future fall behind anyone else’s. Of course, the premise is that he has to work hard himself.

As for the entire Block Family business, it’s impossible for him to take it all on his own. Even if I don’t say it directly, you should be clear about this in your heart.

But I can guarantee that the assets he will manage in the future will absolutely surpass the current assets controlled by the Woburg Family.

So, if you’re still keeping your family’s instructions in mind— hoping that the child will, in the future, get involved in the entanglements between the Block Family and the Woburg Family— then it’s very likely that this child will only become a pawn of the Woburg Family. Everything he strives for will simply be used to benefit your family’s brothers, younger siblings, and nephews!"

Donnie wasn’t sure how much of what he said would actually sink into Janine Woburg’s mind. But he believed that after Janine Woburg’s parents passed away, the bond anyone from the Woburg Family could hold over her would be far weaker than the bond she has with her own child.

Hence, he wanted to test how clear-headed Janine Woburg truly was!

Upon hearing Donnie speak, Janine Woburg fell into deep thought. A long time later, she earnestly replied to Donnie, "I understand. My child is my everything, and I will not allow anyone to exploit him or harm his interests!"

Donnie smiled and nodded, "It’s good that you understand this!"

After clarifying this matter, Donnie escorted Janine Woburg back to her room. After chatting with her for a while, he went to Mia Bock’s room...

Late at night, Donnie got out of bed, glanced at a sleeping Mia Bock, threw on his robe, and left the bedroom, heading to his study.

He found "Capitalism" on the bookshelf and gave it a tug, causing the bookshelf to slowly open, revealing a secret room!

Donnie stepped into the secret room, and the bookshelf returned to its original state.

Inside the secret room was a complete set of surveillance equipment. Donnie put on headphones, adjusted the controls, and located the recordings from tonight.

The recording contained the conversation between Paul Warburg and Janine Woburg in the living room.

The discussion didn’t last long, only about half an hour.

Just as Janine Woburg had mentioned, Paul Warburg was persuading her to convince Donnie to return to Germany during the pregnancy.

The implication was clear — to nurture Donnie’s child from an early age, fostering a stronger sense of belonging to the Woburg Family.

"In such a rush— what can an infant even understand?"

Donnie took off his headphones, shook his head, and chuckled.

What pleased Donnie more was Janine Woburg’s attitude. Although she still appeared to hold a strong sense of belonging to the Woburg Family, she no longer acted as a mindlessly obedient girl!

Change is good!

That was what Donnie thought!

But this also made Donnie even more certain about the Woburg Family’s intentions. Their agenda was clearly to take an interest in the Block Family’s business.

"Let’s see who ultimately takes ownership of the other family’s assets!"

Donnie put everything back in place, came out of the secret room, and returned to Mia Bock’s room.

"Honey, where did you go?" Mia Bock sensed movement beside her, turned over, and held Donnie, asking groggily.

"Nothing!" Donnie felt Mia Bock’s warm, soft embrace, regardless of whether she was fully awake.

Feeling Donnie’s movements, Mia Bock, with her eyes still closed, began actively responding to his actions until she was completely awake.

The next morning, Donnie and Janine Woburg jointly saw Paul Warburg off. Paul Warburg repeatedly emphasized that if Janine Woburg needed anything, she must call him immediately. Only then did he leave Atlantic City reluctantly!
