America 1919

Pickford quickly said, "No need, I can go back on my own!"

In reality, because of the argument with Douglas, Pickford had decided not to go to her Beverly Hills home that night but instead to return to her own place. However, she did not want to let Donnie know about such private matters.

"Of course, if Douglas knew I let you go back alone in the middle of the night, he would definitely be unhappy. Besides, I want to see the Los Angeles night view too!"

Seeing Donnie's insistence, Pickford had nothing to say and could only express her thanks, "Thank you, Donnie!"

After changing his clothes, Donnie walked out of the Beverly Hills mansion hotel with Pickford, taking the car keys from her hand.

"Donnie, what's different between the night view of Atlantic City and that of Los Angeles?"

Sitting in the passenger seat, Pickford rolled down the window, letting the night wind blow on her face.

Looking at the Los Angeles of this era, Donnie spoke calmly, "This place is bigger than Atlantic City, and more prosperous, but I prefer Atlantic City because there you won't encounter situations like this!"

Following Donnie's gaze, Pickford saw in front of them a few white thugs snatching a wallet from a middle-aged man's hands.

"There are none of these in Atlantic City?" Pickford obviously didn't believe Donnie's words, "That's different from the Atlantic City I've heard about!"

Donnie laughed and said, "Then you certainly haven't been to Atlantic City recently. Atlantic City has changed, and perhaps in the near future, it will become the safest city in America!"

"As long as everyone follows their own rules!" Donnie silently added in his heart.

Such an answer evidently piqued Pickford's interest, "If I have the chance, I will definitely go to Atlantic City to see it!"

"When the time comes, I will surely let you experience the enthusiasm of Atlantic City!" Donnie laughed.

The two of them chatted simply while driving, and under Pickford's direction, Donnie quickly reached Pickford's villa.

This villa wasn't luxurious and was about the same size as Villa No. 5 of the Beverly Hills mansion hotel where Donnie was currently staying.

"Thank you very much for your help, Donnie!" After getting out of the car, Pickford invited, "Would you like to come in for a drink?"

Donnie believed that here, "a drink" really meant just a drink, so he laughed, "No need, maybe some other time!"

After saying that, Donnie waved at Pickford and then drove away.

Pickford stood there, watching as Donnie's car drove off without showing any emotion, then turned and entered the room.

The next day!

When Donnie woke up, Jessica Dole whispered in his ear, "Mr. Griffith is here!"

Get up, wash up, change clothes.

"David, you should have called ahead, so I wouldn't have made you wait!"

While entering the living room, Donnie saw Griffith reading the newspaper.

"Haha, it's nothing important!" After Donnie sat down, Griffith handed him a piece of paper, "Here's a list of actors, screenwriters, and directors we plan to invite. Donnie, do you see any issues with this?"

After taking the paper, Donnie saw that indeed all the names listed were currently hot in Hollywood. However, he didn't know much about directors and screenwriters.

"These matters, David, you can decide on your own. Didn't we say before that I am only responsible for financing? As for management, that's all up to you guys!"

Griffith said, "We are in a partnership after all, so I feel it's necessary to keep you informed, Donnie! It's a matter of respect for the partner!"

Donnie nodded, "I will seriously look into these people's backgrounds!"

Afterwards, Griffith spoke with a somewhat strange expression, "Donnie, when I came in just now, I saw Pickford's car parked outside..."

Donnie told Griffith about what had happened the previous night.

After listening, Griffith clearly let out a sigh of relief. Having dealt with Donnie for a while now, Griffith had gotten to know his character.

So when he came over in the morning and saw Pickford's car parked here, he was quite worried.

Now that everyone was collaborating, any emotional entanglement between them would be complicated.

"Mary is always like this, wanting to do more for more people!"

"That just shows that Mary is a really nice girl. Douglas is very lucky!" Donnie said casually.

After convincing Griffith to stay for breakfast, Griffith continued contacting the list of people, and Donnie had nothing else to do in the meantime.

Actually, it couldn't be said that he had nothing to do. Donnie was in fact waiting for those he had schemed against to make their move.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Passive waiting is always boring, so Donnie decided to take Keira Sandton out for a stroll.

Jessica Dole and the others were going to United Artists to audition for their new play today.

Donnie and Keira Sandton didn't drive but walked out of the hotel.

Last night, Donnie had only taken a quick look at Los Angeles while driving, but actually, once he came out during the day, he noticed the differences.

Actually, Los Angeles, like Atlantic City, is a city that was planned and developed. Before that, there was no city scale here.
