I wish I were akid, because skinned knees are easier to fix than broke.

I wish I was a kid, because a scraped knee heals better than a broken heart.

"Well." Gloria shrugged, answering indifferently.

She didn't believe that Mr. Holmes would do such a stupid thing. The detective had a hundred ways to prevent her from attending the dinner party, and he was too lazy to do such an out-of-style thing as poisoning.

Mrs. Rockefeller still maintained the smile of the superior, "What? Are you so cowardly and blind that you refuse to admit the facts in front of you?"

Gloria was still unmoved, and boredly began to touch the bruises left by the hanging needle on the back of her hand, and thought about whether she needed to contact Dr. Lecter to inquire about whether this admission would affect her mental state.

There is no way, too many trivial and subtle details may trigger mental illness. For patients with anxiety disorders, the triggers are usually very personal, and perhaps just a little bit of persecution can become a source of stress for psychological lesions.

She is forced to face the trauma of the past today, and obviously needs some psychological counseling.

When it came to psychological counseling, Dr. Moriarty's request for help forced her to seek help from a distance, Dr. Hannibal Lecter.

And Gloria's delicately made-up mother raises her eyebrows, as if she is infuriated by her attitude of non-violent non-cooperation.

Mrs. Rockefeller did not expect to convince her with these words that turned black and white. Facing Gloria, only real interests can shake her determination.

But what Elena Rockefeller hated the most was her perfunctory gesture. She put the dress skirt in her hand on the hospital bed, "Gloria, pack up your makeup, we are about to leave for the Ritz Hotel, and You must return to New York with me after this dinner."

"The dress is nice." Gloria looked at the red dress on the hospital bed with great interest. It was from the Valentino haute couture series. Mrs. Rockefeller always knew how to highlight the publicity charm of her youngest daughter.

It was rare for Elena to be willing to play a motherly role. She smiled as if advising an ignorant child, "Leah, he's just an English man who doesn't fit in with everyone. Even if you want to put him on the balance of choice, you still have to consider It's worth it," she said sarcastically, "do you still have to give up being the richest blonde in the world for him?"

After listening to her without saying a word, Gloria smiled slightly, "Mom, if Mr. Holmes were here, he wouldn't be able to help calling you an idiot."

"Don't provoke me on purpose again," Elena Rockefeller looked calm, "You have been spoiled by the aura of your family since you were born, and the set of education plan passed down from generation to generation left by John Rockefeller more than a century ago is on you But it didn’t show up.”

"You mean the legendary educational methods that encourage children to do housework to earn money, and reject the idea of ​​family members getting something for nothing?" Gloria endured her dizziness, "From this point of view, I obviously haven't learned to recognize the legitimacy of labor income and necessity."

Mrs. Rockefeller seemed to be a little appreciative, "You always only focus on one-sided acquisitions. Since you grew up, you have always decided who is loved and who is abandoned, and those who are passively treated by you are not within your consideration. .”

"Isn't this what you hoped for? The professional ethics of the so-called excellent heir?" Gloria laughed.

"I don't want you to treat me like this." Elena didn't speak of condemnation at this time, but rather asked Gloria to take up the responsibility of the family. "Because of the family's prestige and influence, the children of the Rockefeller family will never Maybe live like a normal person, Gloria, and you have to live up to your responsibilities."

"My responsibility is to endure the pain and unknown risks to attend the charity dinner, and then get on that private jet bound for New York to get engaged to a descendant of a politician's family?" Gloria became more and more disgusted with her hypocrisy, I really miss the lovely Mr. Holmes.

Elena Rockefeller looked at her squarely, "You are a Rockefeller. When you took American history in middle school and saw your family mentioned several times in history books, you should know that you should never marry a private detective at will."

"Maybe I can leave the family? Since the fourth generation, many people have done so." Gloria didn't seem to care, as if leaving the old money family was as common as drinking a cup of coffee.

Elena sneered, and couldn't help but look at her, "Give up tens of billions of wealth to choose a man? Gloria, even if you get shot in the heart by that naughty Cupid with a bow and arrow and a pair of small wings, you can't do it!" Doing something so sincere and not expecting anything in return.”

Gloria: ...It seems that her philandering blonde bitch image is really too popular.

"Of course it is inevitable to regain the right of inheritance, but you are a bit too interfering in my emotional life," Gloria rubbed her temples, "Mr. Holmes' influence is not necessarily lower than that of any upstart politician family."

The elegant and beautiful Mrs. Rockefeller straightened the folds of her skirt, "But he has too much influence on you. To some extent, I must admit that this consulting detective has outstanding abilities. He is almost omnipotent."

"But that's why he is not a good choice. Gloria, he has such a great influence on you. After only knowing each other for a few months, you have already begun to rely on him for everything, thinking that everything can be done with this The British man got it for you. You can judge from your heart. If the current situation is before you met him, there may indeed be unknown risks outside the hospital, but the other side of the bet is tens of billions of property. Take back everything that should belong to you. At the same time, it is more capable of severely humiliating those who have abandoned and hurt you, including me—”

"Are you still hiding in the ward and waiting to die, waiting for other people to overcome difficulties for you?" Elena almost asked sharply.

Gloria didn't say a word, so Sherlock Holmes was the sugar water that made her lose her fighting spirit and soak her bones?

After all, she always knew that if you really want something, don't stop for anyone or anything until you get it.

Mrs. Rockefeller thought she had successfully persuaded her little daughter, and she changed her loving expression, "Put on the dress, Leah, and it's time for us to head to the Ritz Hotel."

"Lobbying is very inspirational," Gloria applauded, "but you ignored my safety from the beginning to the end."

And Sherlock Holmes takes this as a top priority.

Her beautiful mother narrowed her eyes slightly, "Don't you want Aldrich to speak at the charity dinner instead of you, don't you know how quickly this 20 billion US dollars in charitable donations will make your credibility climb?"

Gloria spoke briskly, "What if I die on the road, or at the dinner party—" She looked up at Elena slightly, with an indescribable look on her face, "Compared to Aldrich, I gained fame and credibility , and even won the right of inheritance, you would rather let me be shot?"

"Gloria!"

She was always easily irritated by her younger daughter.

I hope it's not because of being annoyed by being said about the central matter.

From turning black and white and framing Sherlock Holmes at the beginning, to criticizing her for being too dependent on the other party and losing her high morale, every word Elena Rockefeller said since entering this ward was just to make Gloria ignore the danger Attend a charity dinner.

Elena was born into the Walker family, a Wall Street financial giant, and her marriage with the Rockefeller family further highlighted the lofty status of the heir she gave birth to. Only God knows, she has been looking forward to the arrival of this child since the day she got married, but things never went smoothly. After many years of infertility and being forced to adopt an orphan girl, and her husband derailed and brought back an illegitimate child, she finally got this little daughter with difficulty.

How crazily Elena doted on Gloria before she was 13 years old, and how indifferent she was when facing her little daughter who was kidnapped and on the verge of mental breakdown.

The heir she has expected for many years must not be a lunatic who is forced to suffer from drug addiction and mental illness!

The Gloria she loves is the one who can bring her the envy of everyone.

——For Gloria, she loves a limited edition designer bag.

Elena always forced herself to maintain a slender figure, her skeleton wrists firmly held the little daughter, with a tired look on her face, Gloria seemed to realize for the first time that Mrs. Rockefeller was no longer young.

"I'm asking you to come to the charity dinner, Leah."

She couldn't accept that her youngest daughter, who was in the blood of the Walker family, missed the inheritance again. Elena had been waiting all her life for Gloria to continue the honor of the two families.

Gloria frowned slightly, "You begged me?"

Even if she knew that the gang of kidnappers from five years ago had made a comeback, they were ready to make a move on her?

Mrs. Rockefeller never gave up on persuasion, "Gloria, there are nearly ten ace agents outside the ward, you can bring them along."

Even though she was poisoned and sent to the hospital in the morning, she still has a splitting headache?

"You can even leave the hotel after the donation speech and return to King's College Hospital—"

Or even if there are murderous threats outside the ward, who knows whether it will be another tablet of sodium benzoate or a cold gun ammunition to greet her?

Gloria watched her mother's courteous lobbying with cold eyes, as if she was facing her own broken heart.

She suddenly burst out laughing. What was it that was ridiculously longing for in her subconscious mind?

"I agree."

Elena froze for a moment, "What?"

"I agree to be at the dinner," Gloria repeated.

Mrs. Rockefeller looked a little unbelievable, Gloria smiled slightly, picked up the red dress from the hospital bed——

"United States of America Soldier's Handbook No. 20 - You can be shot for anything, including doing nothing."

That being the case, why not take the initiative.
