Chapter 1066: 364. Helen’s Performance_3

Such a response actually means Helen is putting her entire political career on the line with this issue; if there is a mistake in Donnie’s analysis of the danger of radium products, Helen’s political career would be over!

Ariel Manning didn’t expect Helen to give such an answer, nor did anyone else. But it was precisely Helen’s answer that reassured many people.

Afterwards, various questions were directed at Helen, which she answered one by one.

Once the speech ended, Ariel Manning finally breathed a sigh of relief; the absence of any unforeseen situations was the best outcome!

Just as Helen was preparing to leave the venue, a man in a custom-tailored suit stopped her.

Upon seeing the man, Helen was not surprised: “Mr. Rockefeller, shouldn’t you be in Cafe Jackson’s office at this time?”

The man stopping Helen was Junior Rockefeller representing the Rockefeller Family to negotiate the land deal in Florida with Cafe Jackson.

Like Paul Warburg, Junior Rockefeller was surprised by the situation in Atlantic City upon getting off the train, although he had learned some details over the phone. Once he arrived, he realized how seriously Donnie took the matter and thus made calls to both Donnie and Cafe Jackson, subsequently following Atlantic City’s arrangements!

“I’m confident Mr. Jackson will patiently wait for me!” Junior Rockefeller said confidently.

Before arriving in Atlantic City, Junior Rockefeller had already learned of Paul Warburg’s arrival and naturally knew Cafe Jackson would wait for his appearance before formally negotiating the land deal in Florida.

Since the other party was willing to wait for him, Junior Rockefeller was not in a hurry; he was more intrigued by the situation in Atlantic City.

“Mrs. Block, would you be able to spare some time for a conversation?”

Helen glanced at Ariel Manning, who promptly said, “Ma’am, you have half an hour!”

Helen then said to Junior Rockefeller, “Half an hour. Will Mr. Rockefeller accept that?”

Junior Rockefeller chuckled wryly, “If I don’t agree, does that mean we won’t have a conversation today?”

“Yes!” Helen nodded, “Because I’ll be leaving Atlantic City to promote the dangers of radium products in other cities in New Jersey!”

Junior Rockefeller nodded and looked behind at the Surf Hotel, “Then let’s chat in the cafe inside!”

“That works!”

Once seated in the Surf Hotel’s cafe, Junior Rockefeller straightforwardly asked Helen, “Mrs. Block, is Donnie’s analysis of the dangers of radium products true?”

Helen nodded, “It’s true, otherwise we wouldn’t be doing all these things!”

Junior Rockefeller felt a shudder; he understood the weight of Helen’s words.

“If that’s the case, Donnie should have informed us!” Junior Rockefeller even began reminiscing whether he had ever encountered radium products!

Helen countered, “Mr. Rockefeller, let’s be direct: if Donnie had informed you of this matter, would you have believed it?”

Junior Rockefeller was taken aback, then smiled wryly. Even though he saw the situation in Atlantic City and pondered whether he had ever encountered radium products, to say that he completely believed in the danger of radium products was out of the question.

“Mr. Rockefeller, we understand your skepticism. Actually, do you think the residents of Atlantic City completely believe in this matter?” Helen and Donnie both knew that the cooperation of Atlantic City’s residents was mainly due to inertia in following what they were told.

Junior Rockefeller chuckled wryly, “Mrs. Block, aren’t you and Donnie worried about this decision? If it turns out that radium products aren’t harmful, won’t it be difficult to wrap things up?”

“Mr. Rockefeller, that’s why we haven’t shared this news with you, because you still doubt this issue, but ever since I learned it from Donnie, I’ve never doubted it for even a moment!” Helen said seriously.

Junior Rockefeller refrained from commenting further, instead reminding Helen, “Mrs. Block, you should know that your actions are actually blocking the interests of those selling radium products. Although Donnie has significant influence, I believe these people will definitely do something about it!”

“Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Rockefeller. Donnie has already considered this, and we’ve made all the preparations to counter them!” Helen said confidently.

Junior Rockefeller fully started to accept the narrative of the harmfulness of radium products.

“Mrs. Block, please wait; I need to make a phone call to my father. While we’re not yet able to fully believe this matter, I want to ensure my father is safe!”

Helen asked in surprise, “Does it concern Old Rockefeller?”

“No!” Junior Rockefeller immediately denied, “But since Donnie is already avoiding guests over this matter, I feel we should also take some precautions!”

Helen nodded, “I think it won’t be long before you’ll be thankful for your decision!”

Junior Rockefeller left to call his father, and Helen checked the time before leaving the venue without waiting for Junior Rockefeller.
