Chapter 295: 137, Taft Family's Concerns 3
Robert Taft looked perplexedly at Martha Bowles. She was not only his wife but also a highly capable person. Robert Taft's success could not be separated from Martha Bowles's support!
"What's the matter?"
"Helen!" Martha Bowles said, "I forgot to mention Donnie's other three advantages earlier, handsome, humorous, and possessing a very strong charm.
If Helen spends too much time with him in the same place, I'm very worried whether Helen will fall for this future King of Atlantic City!"
Robert Taft's expression turned grave.
Arranged marriages are an important means for every prestigious family to maintain the continuous greatness of their lineage.
And for a family like the Tafts, this was especially true, given that their family also maintained the Skull and Bones society, an organization that placed extreme emphasis on bloodlines.
"Donnie Block's personal achievements are indeed not bad, but their family background is too poor. Such a person would never be accepted by father!"
Martha Bowles continued to express her thoughts.
Donnie, as he was now, indeed seemed like a young man with potential in the eyes of these great American families, but the world was never short of people with potential.
It's the same with geniuses. There are many geniuses, but very few eventually succeed!
A family like the Tafts valued existing power even more, assessing whether it could contribute to their own family's wellbeing.
"You know Helen's personality. If she really falls for Donnie, I think even if father himself intervenes, persuading her would be difficult. Then the relationship between both our parties could become very complicated. If not handled well, this person might not be able to stand on our side anymore!"
Faced with Martha Bowles's reminder, Robert Taft asked, "Then do you have any solutions?"
Martha Bowles said, "There are two methods. The first is to directly eliminate Donnie Block before he continues to grow stronger, which would rid us of any worries.
The second is to have Helen come back and stop working in Atlantic City. Without the opportunity for contact, the situation we worry about would not occur.
I personally prefer the second choice because if Donnie really does grow stronger in the future, our parties can still be very good partners!"
Robert Taft shook his head helplessly and said, "You understand Helen's temperament. She won't change her mind once it's set, and I can't do anything about that. As for the first option... it's also not realistic. Although Donnie's power isn't very strong yet, he still has quite a few allies, and even we need to take them very seriously."
"So we can only wait and see how things unfold, hoping that Helen can resist Donnie's charm and not fall for this man!"
Martha Bowles said calmly.
"You don't seem very worried!" Robert Taft laughed and asked.
Martha Bowles said, "Because this matter has exceeded my abilities, and worrying about it won't make any difference. Since that's the case, why should I trouble myself unnecessarily!" Continue your journey with empire
Robert Taft shook his head helplessly but then said with a smile, "I do have an idea!"
"What idea?" Martha Bowles looked at her husband curiously.
"Guess, what would Alice do if she knew about Helen going to Atlantic City?"
Robert Taft asked Martha Bowles with a self-satisfied look.
Martha Bowles's mind instantly conjured the image of a girl fond of wearing blue dresses.
Alice Roosevelt!
Just hearing the last name indicated that this girl was no ordinary person; in fact, she was the daughter of Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States.
Being the daughters of presidents and of similar age, the media always loved to compare Helen Taft with Alice Roosevelt.
Because of such comparisons, the two of them had become a pair of 'frenemies,' as it were!
"If you really want Helen to fall for Donnie Block, then you should tell Alice about it!"
Upon hearing her husband's suggestion, Martha Bowles rolled her eyes at him.
"Good heavens, I really don't know what you're thinking. You still don't understand a girl's heart. If nobody else is competing, perhaps Helen really can treat Donnie as a friend from beginning to end.
But if there comes an Alice who loves to compete with Helen for everything and who Helen cares a great deal about, then I can assure you, even if Alice hasn't fallen for Donnie yet, Helen will have!"
Facing his wife's criticism, Robert Taft displayed a resigned expression.
"I really don't understand women that well!"
.
Ten days after leaving Atlantic City, Donnie finally returned.
Naturally, Helen Taft, who was about to join WRPA, was with him as well!
"This is my first time in Atlantic City!"
After stepping out of the train station, Helen faced the familiar city without any hesitancy, only curiosity!
"When we have time, I'll take you on a good tour around Atlantic City!" Donnie nodded to the people greeting him as he led Helen towards a car parked by the road.
"It seems like everyone in Atlantic City knows you, doesn't it?" Helen noticed Donnie's actions and asked with increasing curiosity.
