I used to believe in science

The hotel where Antoinette and Rhett were staying was directly picked up by the driver of Wayne's family to ensure that they could go straight to Wayne Manor.

Located on the outskirts of Gotham, Wayne Manor owns a piece of land including an entire garden estate and a cemetery.When they got there, night had fallen, the manor was brightly lit, and many luxury cars were already parked at the door.Antoinette took Rhett out of the car, saw the old butler standing at the gate to greet the guests, quickly jumped up the steps, and greeted eagerly with open arms, "Ah Fu!"

"Miss Stark." Alfred, the old butler of the Wayne family, was wearing a formal suit, and stood there calmly watching her walk up to him, before opening his arms slightly to accept her hug. It's an unabashedly pleasant "Nice to meet you."

"I miss you too." Antoinette let go of the old man after holding her for three seconds. She saw Alfred smiling at her and looked behind her, so she turned her head and saw that he had already caught up with him. Rhett behind her "This is Dr. Rhett, my colleague."

"Yes, I noticed that the image of Mr. Rhett is far from that of Mr. Rhodes." The old butler raised his eyebrows jokingly at Antoinette, and smiled at Rhett's confused face, "Both of you today The outfit is stunning."

Antoinette wore a blue dress today, which set off her blue eyes. The asymmetrical V-shaped neckline highlighted her figure. Her hair was just combed normally and decorated with a small butterfly hairpin. .

"Thanks, Ah Fu." Antoinette smiled gratefully at him as a response, and then pulled Rhett into the door and walked up the stairs with ease.

The Stark family and the Wayne family had a cooperative relationship in their parents' generation. She grew up almost together with Tony and Bruce, so she is familiar with most of the manor.

When they walked into the manor, melodious music was already coming from the banquet hall on the second floor. Antoinette walked over with Rhett, and saw that the banquet hall was full of people, men and women of all ages, from all fields. Elites, but there is no doubt that they are all acquaintances of this upper social circle. At this moment, most of them have already found seats and sat down at different round tables.

Antoinette glanced briefly, then pulled Rhett to a seat at an unassuming table in the corner.When she was pulling Rhett before, she felt cold sweat on his palms again, but when he sat down, he seemed to relax, and even had time to pay attention to the people around him.He glanced at the person sitting next to him with a slightly surprised expression.

Antoinette also turned his gaze, and saw the tall man sitting on Rhett's left hand tapping his fingers on the table while looking at his expensive watch, which looked a little familiar.

"Are you Dr. Strange?" She didn't realize it was a famous surgeon until she heard Rhett's question.

"you are?"

"My name is Rhett, Spencer Rhett... I read your topic on the regeneration of the central nervous system..." Strange was quite careless and even a little impatient when he first talked to Rhett, but three He looked up at Rhett a second later, expressing considerable interest in some of his insights.

So Antoinette shifted his attention away with confidence, and looked again at the table in the center closest to the podium.

The red-haired woman with her back to them is quite eye-catching, because she is Pep Potts, the CEO of Stark Enterprises, and at the moment she is talking to Fox, the CEO of Wayne Enterprises, who is sitting next to her.Antoinette didn't need to look specifically to know that the one on the other side of Pep who was reclining in the chair with his head down and playing with his mobile phone was Tony.

Probably because of the blood connection, Tony seemed to have received some information, raised his head when she looked at him, looked around and then quickly looked in her direction.They looked at each other, and Tony nodded at her, and Antoinette waved back.

Tony patted Pep and leaned over to talk to her. Pep also turned his head to look at Antoinette. The moment he saw her, he wanted to stand up, but at this time Bruce Wayne walked up On the podium, he stood in front of the podium with a headset on and waved his hands. A stereoscopically projected city image appeared in front of him, and it seemed that he was about to officially start.

So Pep could only sit down.

"Every Saturday, the "Gotham Gazette" will set up a small section and arrange a life column called "Gotham is". In this column, the citizens of Gotham who are randomly selected will fill in this sentence. More than three words." Bruce stood on the podium and glanced around politely, his gaze paused at a few specific points, Antoinette met his gaze and smiled at him, and Bruce returned With a fleeting smile, he looked away.

She felt a gust of wind around her, so she turned her head subconsciously, and just now she saw a figure hurriedly sitting on the empty seat beside her—this was the table farthest from the podium, and it was also the only one with vacant seats— —she gave the man a hasty smile as a friendly greeting, and then she turned back to listen to Bruce's speech.

However, the people around her did not let her go, they leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Is Miss Stark right?"

Antoni was not surprised to be recognized here. The circle is big or small, and they have met each other more or less. She guessed that it might be a partner of Tony.

There are always some businessmen trying to be opportunistic, hoping to open the door to Stark Enterprises from her.Antoinette turned his head away, thinking about how to respond, but the polite words stuck in his throat when he saw the man clearly.

This person is wearing a custom-made suit, not top-notch but high-end enough, neat hairstyle, sharp and energetic eyes, of course a sharp and handsome face, the important thing is that she has seen this face "We have seen it, right? "

She was quite sure that she had seen this man, not at a reception, but at work, which meant that he was a judicial officer, so she searched frantically in her mind, she didn't come to Gotham to handle many cases, But none of the faces she had ever seen matched the man.

She secretly poked Rhett for his help.

And Rhett was quite disrespectful to her, she exclaimed in a low voice, turned her head and asked, "What are you doing?" Then he quickly changed his tone after seeing the person sitting on the other side of Antoinette, "Oh, Deng Mr. Te, hello."

"Dr. Rhett."

Antoinette watched them shake hands across her, and Rhett asked, "Aren't you a prosecutor in Florida?"

"I'm in Gotham right now, Prosecutor."

"Oh." Reid nodded iconically, expressing his understanding, and then turned back to continue listening to the speech.Antoinette knew why she couldn't think of who it was this time, because she thought in the wrong place.

"You didn't recognize me, did you?" The other party leaned over and asked her.

For this positive question, Antoinette couldn't avoid it. She could only tilt her head and cover up with a smile, "Now I feel a little embarrassed."

"It's okay, anyway, I was rude when we first met." Prosecutor Dent gave her a friendly smile, but Antoinette was confused by what the other party said, she tilted her head and provoked eyebrows "disrespectful?"

"I might have judged people by their appearance." This time it was the other party's turn to be embarrassed, he touched his nose with one hand, and replied hesitantly, "The last time we met, I thought you were the kind who relied on your family strength to treat work as a game... ..."

Antoinette was quite sure that the other party had already used euphemistic words, and it was not the first time she met her. She had long ago understood that the surname Stark would not usually bring convenience to her work.So she spread her hands and shrugged indifferently, "It's okay, it doesn't affect me at all."

"But your team leader spoke to me quite formally," Prosecutor Dent continued.

Hodge.

Antoinette thanked her boss. Hodge has always been a good person. Although he looks serious and serious, he has always cared about his team members.

"And it turns out I was wrong." Dent nodded. "So I guess we're even."

He gave her a friendly smile and held out his hand, which she promptly shook in response, "Yes."

Bruce's speech was concise and superb, and Antoinette missed most of the speech because she was talking to Dent, but this did not prevent her from seeing the enthusiastic applause at the end of the speech.

After the official opening of the organizer, there is free time-according to Tony, party time-businessmen tend to use this time to bond, while elites like to make some good friends at this time.

Rhett was torn between continuing the conversation with Doctor Strange or joining Antoinette and Dent's discussion on Gotham law and order.But Antoinette gave him a gesture to leave him alone, so Rhett turned his head and continued to look for Strange.

"Your point of view is very interesting." Dent supported his slightly crooked watch on his left wrist, took two glasses of sparkling wine from the plate of the passing waiter, and said when he handed one of the glasses to Antoinette. Smiling while tilting his head, "Some of your guesses about Gotham's law and order are based on the extent of the police's actions."

"I thought Sergeant Gordon was very dedicated..."

"But a big part of Gotham getting better right now is Batman," Dent pointed out. "It will be in the future."

"..." Antoinette pursed his lips and tried his best to prevent himself from rolling his eyes. Hodge had warned them not to judge the actions of local heroes when handling cases, and rashly judging when they don't know the position of the local police station may lead to local discord. Cooperate with "You are right, my oversight."

But her expression didn't fool Dent, and he raised an eyebrow and said, "You don't like Batman," in an unsurprising tone.
