[Gone With the Wind] Daughter Difficult

Although not all the citizens of Atlanta participated in the charity ball held by the governor, the day after the ball, the citizens of Atlanta learned about the situation that night through the newspapers.

Except for two serious newspapers reporting the time in a regular manner and praising the governor and benevolent people for their good deeds, the rest of the tabloids have started to gossip about these dignitaries in order to win positions.

Among them, the most talked about is not that Captain Butler, the richest man in Atlanta, used a large price to buy back the diamond jewelry he invested and gave it to his wife. His donation was enough to help the orphans in Atlanta build several orphanages. It was the evening dress designed by the Butler family's most low-key second daughter who donated at the auction, and was favored by the governor's son. After being auctioned at a sky-high price of [-] yuan, it was given to the designer himself.And this kind of behavior was interpreted by these good reporters as the governor's son's favor for the second daughter of the Butler family. Some tabloids even made up stories about the past acquaintance between the two—but even if everything was fabricated , but they couldn't resist the audience's raging enthusiasm for upper-class gossip.

And Ella did "steal the limelight" during this time, even though she didn't know it herself.

On the same day, a reporter took photos of the evening dress. Although the black-and-white picture published in the newspaper was very blurry, the delicate details, luxurious style, and novel design of the evening dress surprised many people.

Of course, this dress is not everyone's favorite.At least some conservative aristocratic ladies said that such revealing clothes are very vulgar, and real ladies would never wear such clothes to the ball.

In the American Blue League, this dress has received unanimous praise.

And because of this dress, more people expressed their desire to join the Melanie Alliance through various channels, not only Georgia, but also many high-ranking people from other states. lady".

Let's go back to the third day after the prom.

Usually Bonnie and Rhett would go back to the company together after breakfast, regardless of today's uncomfortable relationship with Bonnie, so Rhett left by himself, while Bonnie stayed at home to rest.

Bonnie decided she just needed a break, so she was determined not to go back to her bedroom, so she stayed in the house that Ella had converted into her studio when she was 14.

This studio used to be Ella and Bonnie's dressing room and the guest room connected to the dressing room.

After the renovation, the walls of the room were opened up, doubling the size of the room.

On the right side of the entrance is Ella’s workbench, and on the left is a step, which is also the place where Ella’s works are placed. Waterproof curtains hang on both sides of the steps, which can be pulled up when needed to separate the spaces on both sides.

Because of the large space, there are also sofa beds, chaise longues, coffee tables, etc. in the studio, which are convenient for Ella to rest, and Scarlett, Melanie, Bonnie, Christine and others can also work in it. When styling, make them more comfortable.

But so far, no one other than the family has ever entered the multipurpose studio.

All the clothes designed by Ella are placed in this room.

Many of her previous designs have been put into the custom-made oversized wardrobe, but the floor-to-ceiling wardrobe is almost full.

Fortunately, when renovating the house, Bonnie suggested to Rhett and Ella to nail steel pipes to hang clothes on one wall. Most of the clothes Ella designs now are hung on them.

This row of clothes is so beautiful that even Bonnie, a former fashion magazine editor, can't help but sigh Ella's fashion talent.

Ella is an innately talented designer.

At least I have never seen a designer whose level is so stable and maintains a good level.

It's just that in this era, designers are not an industry that people pay attention to.

Ella was full of inspiration today. After entering the lounge with her sister, she had already devoted herself to work.

Bonnie sat on the spotted leopard-print daybed with a throw pillow.

On the glass coffee table, there is a transparent glass teapot, which is now brewing sweet rose tea, and the water mist rises from the tea spout and drifts out of the window behind the sofa.

The clear amber liquid was slowly poured into the glass teacup, and the fragrance of roses gradually wafted into the air.

Bonnie took a sip of the warm liquid and sighed comfortably.

"How do you feel?" In the midst of her busy schedule, Ella raised her head to show concern for her younger sister.

"much better."

At this time, someone knocked on the door.

The black maid Prissy entered the door, and her sharper voice became her distinctive symbol: "Miss Ella, the governor's son has sent you another gift, do you want it?"

"Tell him to thank him for his kindness, I appreciate it." Ella said without raising her head.

"Don't you want to take a look?" Prissy asked puzzled, "Yesterday you rejected him, why not reject him today?"

"Close the door and go out." Ella said coldly.

"Did George Bright send you a present yesterday?"

"I guess so?" Ella said indifferently, "I don't know why he keeps sending things over, but not in return."

Bonnie thought, he just wants to chase you, but she doesn't want to remind Ella of this problem.

Although she doesn't have much opinion on the governor's son at this stage, it's limited to no opinion.

The gift of the governor's salary on the Butler mansion was as plain as water, but on the other side of the rejection, things were much more heated——

George Bright watched the gift-giving servant bring back the gift intact for the fifth time, and kicked the servant angrily: "Trash."

The servant was also very wronged, "Master George, I haven't even seen Miss Ella's face, let alone giving gifts and telling her about your invitation, Master, this Butler family really doesn't know what to do..."

George suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the servant by his collar. The tall and burly servant almost lifted the short and thin servant up, leaving only his toes on the ground.

"It's not up to you, a servant, to make irresponsible remarks if they react. Keep your mouth clean. I don't want to hear any gossip."

"Young master, this really doesn't work. Miss Ella is famous for being low-key in Atlanta. She doesn't like to be in the limelight like the third lady, Bonnie. Many people have never seen her before,"

Although the servant was kicked, he still devoted himself to the Lord.

Of course, this is also for himself.

He has been rejected for five days in a row. Not only can he not get along with the young master, but he is also embarrassing in the Butler mansion. Even if the other party invites him out politely, if outsiders find out, they will have to laugh at them. .

George heard something in the servant's words, "Oh?"

The servant turned sideways, leaned into George's ear, and said a few words.

The servant's suggestion made George's eyes brighter and brighter. He nodded several times in a row, and finally he patted the servant on the shoulder. "Just do as you said, you go to someone first, and we will plan it later."

"Then... do you still want to give gifts? Master George?"

"Send, of course." George's anger was almost extinguished, and he was in a good mood at this moment, "but I thought of what to give."

Louis is a gangster on the streets of Atlanta, and his boss is the little leader of these roads.

Because Louis has an extremely accurate slingshot and has repeatedly made great achievements in street fights, he was quickly appreciated by the boss after joining the gang.

Soon, the boss discovered that Louis was clever and capable.

Louis's parents died in the war. He had a younger brother. When the eldest saw the two brothers for the first time, they were starving and emaciated, just like two skinny monkeys. The two came from an unknown rural place in Georgia. Escape to Atlanta.

At that time, the two of them didn't understand the rules here when they first came to report, so they directly stole from the head of the boss, but after being caught, they were recruited by the boss because of their bold and cautious personality.Since then, the two brothers have been hanging out with the boss in Atlanta.

On this day, Louis was called to the front by the boss, and the boss said that he had a task to give him.

"What? Following the Butler family's two young ladies?" Louis's expression didn't tense, and he accidentally revealed an expression of "Boss, are you out of your mind?" "Boss, it's the Butler family, are you serious?"

The boss patted Louis on the back hard, and Louis, who was still as thin as a bamboo stick, staggered, "Hush your voice, kid." Even though there was no one around, the boss was very nervous, "I'll let you follow They didn't ask you to kill them, why are you so nervous?"

"What's the background of the other party? The Butler family is also in Atlanta, and they can't get along with the Butler family for money. Why don't they sell the other party to the Butler family?"

"What are you thinking? Am I the one who dares to challenge the richest man? The other party can destroy what I have built over the years with a single little finger," the boss spat at Louis, "You are usually smart, Why are you so clever today? If the other party can offend me, I don't have to bet all my property to risk myself."

Louis: "..." So, what do you want?

The boss saw that Louis was a little bit resistant, and Louis himself was his most capable subordinate, so he had no choice but to tell him the matter in detail.

"That is to say, they don't want to hurt the Miss Butler's family. You go and find out the whereabouts and daily life of the two ladies first. Everything else is easy to talk about."

"But..." Louis felt that there was a problem with the logic of this plan. "When the time comes, he will want a hero to save the United States, but you will still be cannon fodder. In case the Butler family finds out..."

The boss didn't think about this before, but now that Louis said it, he was immediately enlightened.

The boss was a little restless at first, but now he is even more at a loss: "Then what do you say now?"

"When the time comes to implement the plan, you must not find your own people."

"You mean?"

"Find outsiders."
