[Gone With the Wind] Daughter Difficult

Mary and Louise have been paying attention to all kinds of disturbances in Atlanta these days.

Mary has been looking for a chance to see George, but George's unfeeling made her deeply realize that if she just went to him like this, George would send her away regardless of old feelings.And there is no doubt about it.

She has become his burden.

Soon, Mary saw an opportunity.

Georgia's Governor, Bright, held a celebration ball for the successful bid to bridge the river.It was rumored that Governor Bright and the Butler family would announce the engagement of Miss Ella and Master George at the celebration party.

Louise didn't even lobbied her much, and Mary was sure that she must attend the ball and take Henry with her.

"Have you... thought it through?" When Mary told her about going to the dance, Louise realized what Mary wanted to do, but it was very risky.

Mary would most likely be dismissed as a lunatic.She is just a weak woman, and she has to take a child with her, but the other party is the supreme chief executive of Georgia State.

Mary's expression showed determination and madness: "Even if I can only destroy the news of their engagement announcement, I will prevent George from getting engaged to other girls." If she hadn't come to Atlanta, she would not have known that George would treat her like this.

Even if she gave birth to a child for the other party, suffered all kinds of grievances, and even put heavy pressure on her parents, she still couldn't win back his heart.Then let's go to hell together!

Louise heard a sigh in her heart, but she still showed a worried look: "Your complexion looks bad, is there something uncomfortable?"

Mary shook her head slowly: "It's okay, I'm just thinking about how to get into this dance."

"Then have you figured out a way?" Louise lowered her eyes. In fact, Bonnie would definitely be able to give Mary a ticket, but if she did, it would probably reveal that they approached Mary for another purpose.

Of course, if Mary really can't find a way to get in in the end, then Bonnie will definitely choose to help her.

Mary said hesitantly: "I thought of one, but it might be a bit risky. I'm not sure if it will work. Is it possible for your friends in Atlanta to help me get in?"

Louise shook her head.

Mary bit her light-colored lips and said softly, "Then I will figure out a way myself."

Mary's way of thinking is still to find Bill.

Bill was the only person she could think of getting prom invitations.

Bill really didn't expect Mary to be ready to ruin the dance this time.

But before he had time to refuse, Miss Mary's eyes were red and tearful, and the poor and lovely girl was crying again. He was soft-hearted, and in a daze, he agreed to get her an invitation letter—in fact, he It is very easy to get the invitation letter, as long as Mary's life is added to the invitation letter, there is no need to report to Master George.

When Bill reacted, he realized that something was wrong.

However...Miss Mary is really pitiful. If Master George hadn't gone too far, Miss Mary would definitely not have used such a method. She had no choice but to find him, right?

☆

Reid took his family to the prom not to do Governor Bright's face.

And obviously, Governor Bright didn't intend to give Rhett any more face.

In his opinion, Rhett is the real toast and does not take fine wine.

So Governor Bright directly announced to all the media at the press conference that the winning bidders for the cross-river bridge project were the Atlanta Engineering Company and Delmar-Barrow Co., Ltd.

This result, of course, surprised the media present, and all the media swarmed up every minute, chasing Governor Bright to ask about the unexpected result this time.

"Governor Bright, the Butler Company was the most vocal before. May I ask where they lost?"

"Governor Bright, why did you choose to give the project to Atlanta Engineering Company instead of Butler Company, the largest in Georgia in terms of financial resources and strength?"

"Governor Bright, Captain Butler has once again stated to the outside world that he is determined to succeed in this project. Now that there is such a result, what is your opinion?"

"Governor Bright..."

"Everyone, don't be impatient," Governor Bright raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, "The state government chose the Atlanta Engineering Company after professional evaluation and careful consideration. As for what Captain Butler said before, it is not clear. It’s important, it’s important that Engineering Atlanta shows the state that they are sincere.”

"Governor Bright, are you implying that Captain Butler didn't show enough sincerity to the government in the construction of the cross-river bridge this time, so he lost the bid this time?"

"I don't have to imply anything." Bright smiled and shook his finger at the reporter. "We are very optimistic about the plans and plans of the Atlanta Engineering Company, and we believe that our choice will not go wrong. Please let me reiterate that we are After rigorous and professional evaluation, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared."

"Governor Bright, there have been rumors in the city that your son and the second daughter of the Butler family, Ella, are getting engaged, so everyone thinks that Butler's company is sure to win the bid."

As soon as this was mentioned, Governor Bright's heart surged with anger. Rhett Butler had clearly rejected their marriage proposal, and he did not intend to step down for him at all.

Bright still smiled and said: "Now this rumor can be clarified. Even if the two of us are married, the winning bidder is not Butler Company. You guys are too sensitive. For such a large project, we must speak with our strength. "

Governor Bright saw that it was almost the same, so he made a face to the secretary James beside him.

James immediately stood up and stopped the other reporters, "Sorry, everyone who wants to continue the interview, the time for the celebration ball for the successful bidding of the cross-river bridge project is approaching, and the governor needs to prepare for the opening. If you have any questions, please pay attention Documents issued by the state government later, thank you for coming today, everyone has worked hard."

After Governor Bright left, the media left disappointed.

James quickly followed Governor Bright's pace, but when he walked into the governor's personal lounge, he realized that Governor Bright's behavior...was a bit strange.

Governor Bright's expression alternated between smiling and angry, as if possessed by something evil.

James has been with Governor Bright for some years, and he has never seen such a strange appearance of him, which made him almost unable to bear to take a step back. Of course, as the most professional secretary of the governor, he finally held back, just He didn't dare to take another step forward, for fear that the next second, Governor Bright would go crazy and beat him up.

Governor Bright has been doing this for a while.

He was happy that he finally managed to let out a breath of anger, but he was still angry at Rhett's ignorance of good and evil. Even if it was announced that the project would be awarded to the Atlanta Engineering Company, he felt that this was not enough.

Just when James arrived, Governor Bright immediately grabbed him and asked, "Tell me, if I announce directly at the ball that George and Ella have decided to get engaged, how do you think Reed will react?"

force?Announce?Master George is engaged to Miss Ella?

The governor is really crazy, right?

If Captain Butler had no intention of giving any steps down to Governor Bright at all, wouldn't he be humiliating himself?

Thinking of this, James immediately said firmly: "Governor, this is absolutely impossible."

"Do you also think Rhett won't give me any face? I don't think so." Governor Bright still feels that there is room for change in this matter, even though they have announced the results of the project bidding, but because this time the project involves Huge, so even if Butler's company did not win the bid, it is entirely possible to participate in the entire project.

"But Governor, if you really choose to give it a go, you may lose both." James reminded responsibly that he was still very rational at this time, but what he couldn't understand was why Governor Bright was here. You are so persistent about this matter, "And you have already chosen the Atlanta Engineering Company, and you have given Captain Butler a big shot. After all, he is still the richest man in Atlanta, and there are still many places where we can cooperate in the future."

Governor Bright gritted his teeth and said: "I'm not reconciled. No one has ever given me face like this. The more I can't get it, the more I want it. I can even get the position of governor. I don't believe it. A small I can't handle little Ella Kennedy."

James felt that the governor was overwhelmed by anger, but he had already persuaded him, and he said what he shouldn't have said. Now he can only persuade Governor Bright to think twice, otherwise the consequences... Very serious.

What if Governor Bright really intends to forcibly announce the engagement of the two?

Is he really not afraid of being slapped directly by Rhett?

☆

Before the ball began, George Bright, as the host, had been welcoming the guests.

Before coming here, his father had already told him that if Rhett still refused to marry their family, then Rhett would not be able to get the bidding project, because his father asked him to entertain guests in the venue, so George didn't know anything about it subsequent development.

The dance is about to begin, but George has an accident.

A waiter in the venue accidentally poured a glass of champagne on him. George couldn't get angry on the spot, so he had to leave the venue with a good temper, and was going to the lounge to change into a new dress.

Just as he walked into the corridor, he suddenly heard a strange voice: "So it's really you."

George didn't feel that the other party was talking to him. He only knew that the dance was about to start, and if he didn't change his clothes, he might not be able to make it to the beginning.

"It's you, the young master of the Brett family, you walked so fast, isn't it because of a guilty conscience?"

George turned his head inexplicably, and saw a familiar person wearing the clothes of a waiter standing not far away, "Why am I guilty, and you?"

The man smiled: "You don't remember me? That's right, but I clearly remember that when we stopped the two ladies of the Butler family that day, you rushed to the hero to save the beauty." He bit the hero hard Save these few words.

George's heart trembled, but his face remained calm: "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

"Really?" The waiter suddenly raised his voice: "I said, Master George of the Brett family planned to have the gangsters stop Miss Butler's carriage..."

"Shut up!!" How did this guy get in here, a little gangster turned into a waiter here?

There was no one in the corridor at this time, but they were not far from the scene of the dance, and many guests might come out at any time to see this scene.

George strode angrily to the side of the waiter, and said in a low voice, "What on earth are you trying to do?"

"Don't be nervous, Master George, I didn't say anything?" The man said with a fake smile, "I'm short of money recently, and I want to ask Master George for some money, as long as you," he hinted. Hand, "It will definitely fit in my mouth."

"Are you kidding me?" said George gruffly. "Do I have any money with me like this? I can give you after the ball..."

"Do you really think I'm stupid?" The waiter shook his head and looked at George with regret, "I'll ask you to get it after the dance? It's fine if you turn your face and deny it, in case you find your people to beat me up , Whether my life can be saved is a problem."

"So what do you want?" George asked in a low voice.

The waiter scanned George from head to toe, and his brown eyes suddenly caught sight of the exquisite and extraordinary sapphire tie clip on his chest. The sapphire, the spiral platinum design is inlaid with countless bits and pieces of broken diamonds, which is very valuable at first glance.

"As long as you give me your tie clip, I promise to erase this matter immediately. Do you...do you agree?"

George subconsciously touched the sapphire tie clip. This is a unique design. He specially customized it back from Paris, which also made her the focus of the entire evening, and there were many guests

George was very proud of this before, but now he is a little annoyed why he chose such a sharp tie clip.

"Please allow me to remind you, Master George," the waiter pointed to the meeting place not far away, "This place is not far from the banquet hall, and I have my companions in it, as long as I shout, they will speak for me You don't want the Miss Butler's family to know the truth of the day, do you? Aren't you still planning to get engaged to her?"

George no longer hesitated, took off the tie clip, but held it tightly in his hand: "After you get the tie clip, will you really disappear in front of my eyes immediately?"

"Oh, this is a bit demanding, at least I'm still a part-time waiter for this banquet, and I must fulfill my job duties," the waiter looked at George with a half-smile, "but don't worry, I just want money, I don't really want to embarrass you, this sapphire tie clip should be able to exchange for a lot of money, right?"

George raised his tie clip, but just as the waiter was about to reach out, he retracted and reconfirmed: "Will you keep your promise?"

"I'll say it again, I'm only looking for money, but if you're still hesitating, I might increase the price." The waiter said with a smile.

George reluctantly gave the sapphire tie pin to the waiter.

After the waiter left, George began to think about how to fight back.

But what gave him a headache was that the other party said that he had a companion present. George knew that his companion might also be a waiter, but there were dozens of waiters present, and he only saw the backs of these few people who fled that day. From the side and the side, it was impossible to identify which ones were the waiter's companions.

He has been delayed by this waiter. If he doesn't hurry up, he will really miss the opening of the dance.

George scolded "bad luck" and hurried towards his lounge.

Of course, George at this time did not realize that this was just the beginning of his misfortune today.

After George returned to the lounge, the waiter who threatened George walked to the stairs at the end of the corridor. He walked up half a floor, and a figure was standing in the dark waiting for him.

"Have you got it?" the man asked.

The waiter shook the sapphire tie clip on his hand: "Is there anything else I can do? What should I do now, can you let my brother go?"

"What I promised you will be done," the man said. "Everything will go according to plan. I can guarantee that you and your brother will leave Atlanta safely."

"But what if the plan doesn't go according to your plan?"

"Then, I will fulfill my promise and send you away safely. I will send you with this tie and give you a sum of money." The man said without hesitation.

"Thank you then." The waiter kissed the sapphire tie clip in his hand and solemnly put it in his close pocket.

☆

Just before the ball started, the guests had already learned the news that the Atlanta Engineering Company and DeMar-Carlo Co., Ltd. had won the bid, and they expressed their opinions to the company leaders present.

However, everyone did not forget to comfort Rhett who did not win the bid, and the people around Rhett even surpassed Kalis of Atlanta Engineering Company and Delmar and Carlo of Delmar-Carlo Co., Ltd.

And Rhett?

He didn't become ashamed and angry as other people imagined, but he still maintained his calmness, poise and demeanor, as if he didn't care about the result.

With such a result, Scarlett was certainly in a bad mood.

However, she did a good job on the surface, and no one could see why.

Wearing a graceful and luxurious evening dress, Scarlett held Rhett's arm, faced everyone with a charming smile, but said viciously: "That Brett who killed thousands of dollars really gave the project to that Broke the Atlanta company? What kind of ability do they have to win this project? If they need money or resources, they can’t make up the initial payment even if Demar Carlo is added. That old fellow Brett is really Is he doing this? Is he trying to ruin the name of the state government again?"

"Don't be angry, dear." Rhett stretched out his hand and patted Scarlett's hand in white lace gloves, "It's no big deal, I promise, everything is under my control?"

"Ok?"

"Do you really think we'll let this project slip through our fingers?" Rhett smiled and nodded at the person who gave him a sympathetic look. "Do you want to see the show?"

"Performance?"

"Today's grand finale, Governor Bright Spits Blood Oh, please look forward to it."

Scarlett: "...don't make me laugh out loud, Rhett, my image will be ruined by you."

Rhett couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, dear, you are my happy fruit, I love you."

"I love you too, Rhett." At this moment, Scarlett's heart really calmed down.

She really didn't believe that Rhett really didn't take any measures, and Rhett and Bonnie are also very busy these days, which should be for this matter, but when Governor Bright really gave them this problem, She was also worried that Rhett would be put together by the old guy.

It's okay, it's okay, she just waits to see the good show now.

☆

At the last minute, George changed into his gown and returned to the ball.

At this time, Governor Bright was already standing on the podium.

There were only a few whispers of conversation left among the crowd, as if they were all waiting for Governor Bright's opening remarks.

There were a lot of people present, and many people saw George coming over and greeted him, which delayed George's progress.

At this time, a small figure in a small suit ran up behind him waddlingly, and then hugged his thigh.

George was so taken aback by the sudden behavior that he almost kicked the thing holding his thigh away.

But George held back. He looked down, but was almost scared to death by the baby holding his lap.

"Hen..." George subconsciously opened his mouth, but soon he closed his mouth tightly.

If he called Henry's name now, everyone would know that he had something to do with this little thing.

That damned Mary must have brought Henry, so what about Mary?Henry looked left and right, but because there were too many people, all the ladies were dressed in gorgeous clothes, and he really couldn't see where that bitch Mary was at a glance.

The baby looked at his father with teary eyes, and kept shouting: "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy hug!"

George usually loves his son the most, but it is on such an occasion that he cannot respond.

And the baby's behavior has attracted the attention of countless people around, and all of them looked at George who was hugged tightly in surprise.

——Who is this lovely baby?

——Why is this baby called the young master and father of the Brett family?

——It looks like this baby looks a bit like Master Brett.

——Wait, Master Brett is unmarried, isn't he still planning to get engaged to Miss Ella?

The scene was a bit embarrassing, and George said anxiously, "Which baby is this? Have you lost your father? I'm not your father. May I take you to find your father?" He bent down and was very patient. Pick up the boy.

"Father, father..." Seeing that his father was willing to hold him, the baby immediately stretched out his chubby arms to hug George's neck tightly, buried his little head on his shoulder, and rubbed affectionately.

More and more people whispered about this, and George looked at the people around him a little embarrassedly, trying to maintain his composure and said: "I don't know which family's child is missing, I'll let you look for his parents." Said Then, George planned to leave with the child.

Governor Bright, who was standing on the podium, had already seen the farce. He glared at George, but George seemed to be planning to deal with the child's affairs, and Governor Bright didn't even glance at him.

Seeing the expressions of the people around him, Governor Bright cleared his throat involuntarily, trying to attract everyone's attention with his opening remarks.

The matter of George was originally an episode. Today is the celebration ball for bidding for the cross-river bridge project. The protagonists are the governor and the two companies that won the bid. Therefore, being Governor Bright can indeed save George.

If what follows does not happen.

"Where's Mom?" George whispered in the baby's ear.

The baby hadn't seen his father for a long time. He thought his father was playing with him, and his ears were itchy by his blowing. The baby twisted his little body. George was afraid that he would fall, so he had to hold him tighter.

Henry turned around and saw Mary standing not far away. He suddenly remembered that his father was asking his mother just now, so he waved loudly at Mary: "Mom, mom!"

At this time, Governor Bright was preparing to make an opening speech, and the venue was completely silent.

The behavior of the baby calling "Mom" so loudly naturally became the focus of the audience.

At this moment, Governor Bright's face turned blue.

George's mind went blank for a moment, but at the moment when he was dazed, Mary had already walked straight towards George from the crowd, and everyone made way for Mary, allowing her to walk in front of George smoothly.

Governor Bright tried to draw everyone's attention back with a speech, but it was in vain.

"Your child." George reluctantly handed Henry to Mary, but because the baby hadn't seen his father for a long time, he didn't want to leave George's arms at all. He hugged George's neck tightly.George tried to break the child's short, fat little arm, because he was a little anxious and his hand was too strong, and the child was frightened and cried.

"Is this how you treat our mother and child?" Mary said with tears in her eyes. Her voice was not loud, but her penetrating power was astonishing, with her as the center

George forced himself to be calm and said, "Madam, what do you mean?"

"Ma'am? Whose wife am I?" Mary asked sarcastically.

"Madam, is this your child? Can you please take him away?" George continued to wrestle the child's wrist.

Suddenly Mary slaps George across the face.

This slap made everyone's eyes fall on this corner.

"He's your son, you don't need to recognize him, but you still treat him like this, you're going to hurt him!!" Mary said in shocking words, "George Brett, I really didn't expect you to be this kind People." She immediately stretched out her hand and hugged little Henry, who was a little reluctant, looking at George with tears in his eyes, and still yelling about his father.

"Ma'am, no, miss, what do you want?" George couldn't help saying loudly.

Mary was not afraid of George at all. George's voice was high, and she also raised the volume: "George, I heard that you are going to be engaged to another girl. Is this true? Don't you want our mother and child?"

George clearly heard gasps around him one after another, and anger began to burn in his body.

He didn't expect that Mary would embarrass him on the spot, and she seemed to be planning to kill him and kill him forever.

If this entanglement continued, he really didn't know what Mary would do. "Miss, may I ask who sent you here to frame me? Please take your child and leave here now. I will never trouble you."

"I framed you? Why do you have the nerve to say that, George Brett? Did you say that you wanted to be with me for the rest of your life? Did you just talk about it when you were in love?" Mary complained tearfully, "Hello! Heartless, you are really heartless... Thanks to me loving you so much, it turns out that you lied to me..."

"Enough, miss, you can say a little more, no one here believes your lie."

Henry looked at his crying mother and his father who yelled at his mother, and cried even more sadly: "Dad, Dad..."

At this time, Governor Bright had asked James to send someone to take away the troublesome Mary and Henry.

However, because there were too many people in the middle, these people couldn't squeeze through for a long time.

Suddenly, a voice in the crowd said: "George Bright, stop talking about benevolence and morality hypocritically, you know what you have done yourself."

Where did this sound come from?

George didn't dare to talk back this time, because he thought the voice sounded familiar.

Governor Bright was in a hurry on stage, but he couldn't go down and stir up a piece of it himself.

The governor kept winking at James, but James had no choice but to go directly into battle.

Scarlett, who was standing in the front row, poked Rhett's waist with her elbow, and said softly, "This is the good show you let me do?"

Reid had a weird expression, and he said dumbfoundedly: "I really didn't expect to see such a scene? Maybe you can ask your little daughter?"

Both eyes fell on Bonnie, what was Bonnie doing at this time?

Rhett's chief secretary, Abraham, did not know when he appeared beside Bonnie. The two were constantly biting their ears. Bonnie's expression became brighter and brighter. Ni nodded towards the two of them and gave a thumbs up again.

Rhett nodded knowingly, and also gave Bonnie a thumbs up.

Everyone present was watching the farce on the scene, and almost no one noticed this small scene.

But instead of being in the mood to watch the farce, three people began to look pale and sweat profusely.They are the chairman of the Atlanta company, Kalis, and the two largest shareholders of Dema-Barrow, not far from the governor.

They looked at Rhett with aspirations, and it happened that Rhett was also looking at them, with a smile showing a certain victory at the corner of his mouth.

And the farce on the scene is still going on——

"I can't see it anymore!" said the waiter in a very loud voice, "George Bright, you are a bloody heartbreaker. You have the guts to do it but you dare not admit it, ladies and ladies, come and see Don't admit to this person's hypocrisy."

"Come here, take all these troublemakers out." George said coldly.

"In order to pursue Miss Ella, did you ask our brothers to stop Miss Butler's carriage, so that you could stage a scene of a hero saving the beauty? We can ask the two ladies of Butler if there is such a thing, Did Master Brett show up that day?" Although it was a bit late.

George looked at the waiter in waiter clothes walking towards him, his face was flushed red: "It's full of absurd and nonsense, I reserve the right to pursue it."

"You know if I'm lying or not," the waiter obviously wanted to help Mary get ahead, "Miss, it's still too late for you to see this hypocrite clearly. If you really spend your whole life with him, you will probably be in pain for the rest of your life."

Mary also did not expect that things would develop like this, she was completely stunned on the spot.

"But if you really need evidence, I have it too." The waiter took out the sapphire tie clip that George gave him earlier, "This is the hush money you just gave me. You said you didn't have any money with you, so you took the sapphire The tie clip was given to me. But now, in order to let this lady see the reality clearly, I don't need the hush money." He said righteously.

George's fists clenched as soon as he saw the sapphire tie pin in the waiter's hand.

"Well, have nothing to say? If it wasn't to make me shut up, why did you give me this sapphire tie clip? But I'm sorry, you are too shameless, I decided not to want your money." He With that, he threw the sapphire tie clip back on George.

George caught it subconsciously: "Sir, my sapphire has long been lost when I was changing clothes, and now I have reason to suspect that you stole my sapphire tie clip."

The waiter laughed loudly: "I knew you would frame me like this. Now that the sapphire tie clip is in your hand, look at your face, it's really ugly."

"Someone, take them down," cried George Bright feebly.

When the matter came to this point, Governor Bright also knew that the situation was over, so he had no choice but to say to the guests: "Sorry, everyone, some people deliberately came to make trouble today, so that everyone can see such a terrible thing, today's celebration dance is over. "

Governor Bright stepped off the stage in a hurry, but Rhett's voice was heard before he reached the door.

"Hello, everyone, I'm Rhett Butler. Although Governor Bright left in illness, I still want to say that the celebration party of the cross-river bridge project will continue."

wt?

Governor Bright looked at Rhett in disbelief, almost wanting to rush up and smash his smiling face.

"And all expenses will be borne by me, Rhett Butler alone."

Rhett looked at Governor Blair with provocative eyes, "Because I have a big happy event to announce, oh no, it's not the news that my second daughter Ella is engaged to Master George of the Brett family, that's pure nonsense, It would never have occurred to me to marry my daughter Ella to George Bright, especially since he's had some ambiguous relationships with other women. Well, let's get down to business, everyone must be looking forward to the good news I want to say right No? Then I said, just now, the Butler Engineering Company has successfully acquired the Atlanta Engineering Company, and I have personally become the largest shareholder of Delmar-Barrow Co., Ltd., so the project of the cross-river bridge will It will be carried out by Butler Engineering Company and Demar-Barrow Co., Ltd., now please come and share my joy." Reid picked up the champagne glass in his hand and raised it into the air.

Things are moving so fast, they can't keep up, okay?

But the guests present seemed to have heard several loud slaps, and they didn't know whose cheek it fell on.

Is your face swollen?
