Because of a fall, Mr. Romano was seriously ill in bed, and now Mrs. Aurora handles all the family affairs.

This is also the meaning of implicitly appointing the heir of the family.

And Mrs. Aurora did not disappoint Mr. Romano.

She attacked Bill Brothers quickly and ruthlessly. Not only did she follow the path of a gang, but she also united with major political organizations in New York that had not yet been infiltrated, and dealt a blow to the fascist government.Many of these cases involved finance, politics and many other aspects, and countless high-ranking officials and nobles were implicated in them.

The Buchanan family was also inside, and almost overnight, Tom Buchanan lost most of his assets.

Rosalin was still thinking about the "bet" between her and Gatsby.

After moving into Gatsby's mansion, Rosalin met Nick from time to time, so one afternoon, she revealed to Nick that she was involved in the investigation of Bill's brother's case.

Sure enough, the next day, Daisy came to the door.

When she said that she hoped to meet Rosalind, Gatsby was both surprised and happy.

Rosalind was equally happy.

"You two."

As if the prank had already succeeded, she pushed Gatsby and Nick into the secret door in the side hall.Regardless of the protests of the two men, he directly asked the housekeeper to invite Daisy in.

As soon as Daisy came, the two who kept shouting behind the secret door immediately shut up.

Rosalin turned around and raised a bright smile: "Good day, Mrs. Daisy."

Her tone was light and friendly, as if the previous bad breakup had never happened.

The smell of complete makeup rose again in the air, powder, shampoo and skin care products, sweet enough, but none of them came from Daisy herself.

And Daisy also returned Rosalin's shallow smile, but her smile didn't reach her eyes.

Daisy may not be having a good time these days. Her eyes are slightly swollen, as if she has cried, and her foundation is a little thicker than before, to cover up her badly rested complexion.

"Rosalind!"

She said affectionately: "Look at what I brought for you?"

Rosalin turned her head to the side: "Huh?"

Daisy immediately walked forward, took her arm, and affectionately pulled Rosalin to sit on the sofa.

The beautiful Mrs. Buchanan directly took out an extremely exquisite jewelry box and stuffed it into Rosalin's hands.

"I heard it."

Her tone was innocent and happy: "The performance of "Angel Voice" is coming to an end, and you are going to attend a very important dinner with the director and producer? Try this necklace, it will match your dress that night very well."

Rosalin raised her eyebrows.

Under Daisy's earnest eyes, she opened the jewelry box.

Put in it is a string of extremely luxurious necklaces.

The necklace is made of large and round natural pearls, and each pearl is sometimes decorated with fine sapphires. In the center of the necklace, a complete sapphire carved into an oval shape and the size of a fingernail is embedded in it.

As Rosalin's fingers moved, the sapphire refracted the light from the window, almost blinding her eyes.

What surprised Rosalin the most was that the necklace really matched the dress she had prepared.

The dress that Miranda gave her was made by a local designer in New York. The knee-length dress with blue and white main colors as embellishment made Miranda very satisfied. What troubled her was that none of Rosalind's dresses could hold down the gorgeous long dress. dress jewelry.

It seems that Daisy came prepared.

"Thank you."

Rosalin closed the jewelry box, but returned the gift to her: "This is very precious."

Daisy: "It's okay!"

Rosalind: "Is it your dowry? The style is very old, at least a work made a hundred years ago. Such a family heirloom should be kept well, not just given away."

Who strings sapphires with pearls these days?Jewelers of the Jazz Age had begun to pay attention to modern shapes.

"Did you ask me anything?" Rosailin tilted her head: "Or is it that you are not rich recently and want to take out your own dowry?"

Daisy's smile was slightly stiff.

But she didn't answer Rosalind's question.Daisy continued as if she hadn't heard anything, "I heard that Mr. Gatsby will join you at the dinner party, isn't it?"

"He is an investor in "Angel Voice", of course he will go."

"great."

Daisy said beamingly: "You two will be a good match, Rosalind. I already thought that everyone would praise your scene at that time. It must be a beautiful and eye-catching couple."

Rosalind: "..."

Her gaze inevitably glanced behind the hidden door.

Gatsby's mansion was bought by him. It has been located on Long Island for a long time and has been renovated, but the architectural framework of the earlier years has remained.

For example, the side hall on the east side of the second floor should be the private meeting place of the male host, and behind the secret door hidden by Gatsby and Nick is the side staircase leading directly downstairs, which should be used for private meetings with lovers. of.

The secret door between the side staircase and the side hall is only a thin layer of board, and the two people behind the door can clearly hear the conversation in the room.

"I don't understand what you mean." Rosalin said bluntly, "Why did you come here today?"

"I just thought this necklace would suit you."

Daisy still kept smiling: "If possible, I also hope to be your friend with Tom, Rosalin... I don't have any ambitions, unlike you, I just want to live a good life with my husband. Daily and It can also make Tom happy by doing things that friends like, and watching my daughter grow up smoothly, that's all."

Rosalin was very confused: "What does this have to do with me?"

Daisy took a deep breath.

She seemed to have found a breakthrough, and said very seriously: "It is true that Gatsby and I are old acquaintances, but that is over, Rosalind. Now I have become someone else's wife, and the reunion is just a reunion between friends. , nothing else. Don’t get me wrong.”

It's too quick to get rid of the relationship.

Rosalin knew why she came here, but she just pretended not to understand.

She lowered her voice: "But Mr. Gatsby likes you."

Daisy bit her lip.

She subconsciously grasped the jewelry box in her hand: "It must be... I didn't directly refuse, and he misunderstood. I will explain to Gatsby, Rosalin, he is just too excited to see the old man, and he will be able to soon Come to understand, you are his true love."

Rosalin raised the corner of her mouth.

In all fairness, Rosalin really found it funny.

Maybe she shouldn't express her point of view in this way, but it is just a "misunderstanding" to the person concerned when someone else's sincerity is expressed, which is funny and absurd, so Rosalin can't hold back her smile.

However, Daisy misunderstood Rosalind's smile.

"Please do not worry."

Daisy said: "I will not get involved in your relationship with Gatsby, and I will not betray my husband."

Rosalind: "Even if he is involved in the economic case?"

Daisy shuddered.

When she looked at Rosalin again, her expression was almost pleading.

"I did not expect……"

Daisy is indeed beautiful, delicate and dignified.It is conceivable that, more than ten years ago, her youth had not yet slipped away from her side. At that time, when she met Jay Gatsby, she should have been more moving than now.

Such a beauty with drooping eyes and mourning is very touching.

It's just that Rosalind thought that Tom Buchanan would rather cheat with a poor wife with rude behavior than look at Daisy; and in order to avoid this fact, Daisy indulged in Gatsby's overtures—— At this point, when a crisis arises, the husband and wife instantly condense into a bond.

Funny to the point of nothingness and absurdity.

"I didn't expect you to be in charge of investigating the case, Rosalind."

Daisy pleaded: "Please let us go, please?"

Rosalin just blinked.

"I don't understand," she said honestly. "Even if you're sleeping with Tom Buchanan, you don't want to leave him?"

"Oh, Rosalind."

Daisy's smile was filled with sadness.

At this moment, she finally looked like a hollow paper doll decorated with gorgeous jewels.At least her smile is real at the moment.

"Tom is the father of my daughter," said Daisy, "what can I do without him?"

You can choose Gatsby.

But Rosalin didn't say these words.

Daisy's answer has already denied this possibility - she has never considered any possibility of leaving Tom and choosing Gatsby.

Rosalind didn't understand.

Of course she wouldn't understand.

The adventure of arriving at a young age is that Rosalin believes that Tom Buchanan is not a good husband, and there is no need to forcibly bind him.

The cognition brought from the 21st century does not agree with Daisy's way of life that only depends on men to survive.

only……

This is someone else's life, and Rosalinne has nothing to do with it.

"Please, Rosalind, please raise your hand high."

"You asked the wrong person."

Roseline responded frankly: "I'm just in charge of the investigation, not the trial. You should look for the judge's wife, not me."

Daisy was taken aback.

Rosalind: "Mr. Buchanan is not too involved in this matter, but he handed over the owed money to Bill Brothers, and the money will not come back. He has neither broken the law nor violated the rules, except There will be no consequences for property damage."

Daisy: "This—"

Obviously, she didn't realize this.

Perhaps, Rosalind thought, it was because Tom Buchanan had lost his temper at home after losing most of the money.

For a woman whose husband is heaven, she took it for granted that the situation was serious.

"Let's talk about it again." Rosalind said again: "If Mr. Buchanan breaks the law, he has done something wrong. Then what use are you and me?"

"But we lost a lot, a lot of money! It's impossible to keep a foothold in New York in the future!"

"Then go back home."

Roseline was puzzled: "Long Island's housing prices are very expensive, so you can pay off the debt by selling the manor. Back in the Midwest, the Buchanan family is not without assets. Since Mr. Buchanan has neither the vision of investing to make money, nor With the ability to make a comeback, isn’t it good to support your family in peace of mind in your hometown? You don’t have to worry about him cheating on you.”

She claimed to be telling the truth.

However, when Rosalin's words fell to the ground, Daisy's face suddenly changed.
