Just when all the Atlantic City tavern owners were worried about WCTU, Downey came to Atlantic City No. 1 Hospital!

"I'm very sorry that you were hurt because of me. This was my mistake."

Downey put the flowers in his hand in front of the hospital bed, and looked at Margaret lying on the hospital bed with a bandage with a regretful expression.

Margaret felt very ashamed at this time. She didn't want Downey to see her in this situation.

But now that Downey had arrived at the hospital, Margaret couldn't escape, so she could only force a smile and not mention the beating at all.

"This is my problem and has nothing to do with you, Donnie. I am very grateful that you can come see me at this time!"

"Okay, stop talking and have a good rest. I will take care of the rest for you!"

Donny sat beside Margaret's bed and gently rubbed Margaret's hair with one hand. Such an intimate gesture gave Margaret a different kind of enjoyment despite being embarrassed.

So she didn't reject Downey's move.

"I heard Elena say that Downey's is the only tavern in Atlantic City that has been closed for the past two days. Elena asked me to tell you that she is very grateful for your support of our WCTU!"

Margaret randomly found a topic to chat with Donnie.

Donnie said: "This is what I should do, but this kind of thing won't last long, you still have to tell Elena!"

Margaret showed a puzzled expression. Now all the pubs in Atlantic City were afraid to open their doors officially. When Elena came to see her, she was already excitedly saying that this was their major victory in Atlantic City.

, now how can Downey say that this matter will not last long?

After hearing Margaret's confusion, Downey told Margaret the story he had already thought of.

After hearing this, Margaret's expression became sad and asked: "Is there really no way to change it?"

Downey shook his head and said: "There is no way to change it. I know this answer will make you very sad, but there are some things that we cannot solve."

Margaret struggled to do it, and Donny held up a pillow for her.

"Donnie, thank you very much for telling me about this matter. I would like to arrange for you to meet with Elena in advance before our WCTU speech, so that she can have an advance arrangement in mind?"

Seeing that Downey didn't answer immediately, Margaret said softly: "Just think it's for me!"

"Okay!" Donnie nodded helplessly and said, "You know I will never refuse any of your requests!"

Margaret: "..."

That afternoon, Downey met Elena Dorn, the president of the Atlantic City WCTU, at the WCTU headquarters, a slightly dilapidated church-like building!

"Margaret is a poor woman. Fortunately, Mr. Bullock has your help. I thank you on her behalf!"

Elena Dorn stood up beside her desk, stretched out her hand and spoke to Downey.

"By the way, what would you like to drink, Mr. Downey? I have whiskey and red wine here?"

Doesn’t it sound ridiculous? The purpose of WCTU is to ban alcohol, but in the office of the chairman of WCTU headquarters, you can entertain your guests with alcohol.

But the reality in the United States is like this now, and no one will even feel that there is anything wrong with it.

Downey waved his hand and said: "No, Margaret and I are very good friends, and we should help each other!"

Elena nodded, sat back in her seat, and also invited Donnie to sit down with her.

"Mr. Bullock, you told Margaret that our march can only maintain a short-term effect. I cannot agree with this matter. You have also seen the situation in Atlantic City now, and not only did we get the women of the entire Atlantic City

With the support of WCTU in Philadelphia and New York, we think we can keep Atlantic City away from alcohol!"

Elena was very proud when she said this.

Downey sat there with his legs crossed and said calmly: "Ms. Dorn, I admit that the current results of WCTU are remarkable, but I said that this situation is only temporary, and there is a basis for it."

Elena Dorn took out a pack of cigarettes from her drawer and looked at Downey, who said he had no objection. Then Elena lit the cigarette and finally said aloud.

"Please Mr. Downey explain my doubts!"

Downey said easily: "Because Ms. Donne, your husband will participate in the election of state legislators this year. Whether Mr. Donne can be elected as a state representative, Ms. Donne, can your WCTU continue to receive donations from all walks of life?"

, this all requires the support of Atlantic City."

Elena Dorn is already married and even has a child, but she still retains her charm. Coupled with her many years of training in the position of WCTU president, at the age of thirty, she not only has the age

A woman's charm, elegance, and refined temperament.

"My husband supports me. He once told me that in order to support my ideals, he is willing to give up his candidacy for state legislators!"

Elena Dorn said with an unchanged expression.

Downey didn't believe what Elena said at all, but he wouldn't expose her lies on the spot, "Of course I believe this, but Ms. Dorn, you should understand that the entire WCTU ladies, they can't be every

People like you are selfless. They have families, husbands, and children. They live in Atlantic City. Only when Atlantic City's economy improves will their lives be better.

As soon as Atlantic City's boycott of Prohibition came out, Atlantic City's passenger flow has exceeded the tourist flow during the peak tourist season.

Under such circumstances, how many ladies from WCTU do you think can persevere with you?

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Without the support of WCTU, I think there will really be problems if Mr. Dorn wants to be elected as a state legislator!"

Why Elena wasn't worried about what Donnie said just now about her husband's candidacy for state legislators? That's because she was confident that when she was still the president of WCTU, at least half of the women in Atlantic City would

Give your vote to your husband.

"Mr. Bullock, are you threatening me?"

Elena crossed her legs, and her long skirt covered her legs, making it impossible for people to peek into the secret.

"Of course not, I'm just giving you a piece of advice, Ms. Dorn!"

Elena leaned forward slightly and said, "What if I don't accept your advice?"

At this time, Donnie picked up the cigarette that Elena had put on the table, put it in his mouth, then came directly to Elena, and lit the cigarette in his mouth with the cigarette in her mouth.

"Of course I won't do anything, but Nucky will never allow anyone to hinder his development plan in Atlantic City. When the time comes, Ms. Dorn, you will have to face Nucky's methods. As for what Nucky will do

By what means, I think Ms. Dorn, you should know better than me!"

"I know Nucky, but I believe in myself more. I don't believe that Nucky will do anything extraordinary under the reports in newspapers in Philadelphia and New York!"

Elena didn't pay attention to Donnie's actions and just said lightly.

Downey chuckled lightly and said, "The reporters you called have returned to Philadelphia and New York at this time, but my friends in Philadelphia and New York told me that they didn't see anything about Atlantic City in their local newspapers.

Report!"

Elena, who had always been very calm, finally had some changes in her expression and frowned slightly.

Downey continued: "I think Ms. Dorn, you still don't know enough about Nucky's influence in Philadelphia and New York, and you don't even know him well personally!"

Elena said: "So you know these things about Nucky?"

"Of course!" Donnie nodded and said: "Don't you know that Nucky has a very high reputation in New York? Every upper-class person in New York is his friend there, and things are always easy to do between friends.

Of!"

If the Commodore hadn't returned to Atlantic City this year, Prohibition would also have started during this period, and Nucky would have been in New York at this time.

Nucky in New York is just like the romantic character described by Damon Runyon (a famous American journalist and short story writer at the moment.). He goes to various high-end clubs in New York, and the people he makes friends with are either New York's wealth tycoons.

Or a big shot in politics.

A New York gossip columnist once called Nucky and the oil tycoon Guy Loomis 'the most generous and carefree spenders of the moment!'

At this time, Elena is in a dilemma. At this time, she is like an arrow on the string. If they stop their demonstrations, Elena will lose her prestige in WCTU, which means that she will

She will lose votes for her husband.

But if Elena doesn't give up, she and her husband will lose support from the top, which will also cause her husband to lose the chance to be elected as a state legislator.

Elena loves her husband very much, and she is willing to dedicate everything to her husband.

Elena loves her current status very much, and she is willing to give up everything for her current status.

So when Elena found herself in a dilemma and didn't know how to solve it, she saw Donnie sitting there with his legs crossed, looking complacent, and she immediately had an idea in her mind.

"If Mr. Bullock can provide me with some advice, I would be very grateful to you, Mr. Bullock!"

Donnie smiled, put down his legs, and said: "Of course, but what's the benefit of doing this? As I just said, I know Nucky very well!"

Elena stood up, her slightly conservative long skirt still couldn't hide her graceful figure, lifted the hem of her skirt, and sat on Danny's body, hot breath spurted out of her mouth and fell on Danny's earlobes.
