Opening the box, a foul-smelling skull greeted Elizabeth Bennets eyes, causing her to stumble backward in shock, questioning, "What does this mean?"
Daisy Buchanan leaned against the hospital bed, looking healthier than most people despite being a patient. She played with her nails nonchalantly, "Im showing you this to teach you a lesson. We are natural enemies, like wolves and sheep. Even if you turn into a skeleton, I will crush your bones!"
"Oh, I almost forgot!" Daisy suddenly seemed to remember something, "You have a daughter, and I havent thought of a way to deal with her yet. How about... for now, she becomes my servant?"
After saying that, Daisy played a recording from her phone.
"Jay, Lucy bit me today. Could I get tetanus from it?"
"Ill have the doctor take a look at you later. Ill have someone pull out her teeth as an apology."
Elizabeths heart seemed to stop. She couldnt believe what she was hearing. Could that really be Jay speaking?
She refused to believe it, "No, I dont believe thats what Jay said. He wouldnt do that to our daughter!"
"Elizabeth Bennet, you really dont know your place," Daisy casually flipped out a video and played it, "Take a good look at who this is. Jay said that you are the darkness in his light, while I am the light in his darkness. My position in his heart is always more important than yours, and your Lucy is at my mercy!"
Elizabeth stared at the screen with wide eyes; that was her daughter...
Why was Lucy covered in injuries, and why were her eyes closed?
Elizabeth panicked and pleaded with Daisy, "Daisy, Lucy is still young and doesnt understand the world yet. If you need a servant, let it be me!"
"Really?" Daisy looked surprised, as if she didnt believe what Elizabeth was saying.
Elizabeth nodded vigorously.
"Alright, since you insist, Im not the type to hold a grudge against a child," Daisy said, but then her face turned sinister, "Servant, kneel down!"
Although she spoke kindly, having finally found Elizabeths weakness, she wasnt about to let her off the hook that easily.
Elizabeth was taken aback by her sudden change in demeanor, but then she heard her say, "Whats the matter? Didnt you say you wanted to be my servant? If youre a servant, then you must do as I say!"
Seeing the determination in Daisys eyes, Elizabeth felt helpless.
Her beloved grandfather had passed away, and the man she once loved had turned his heart away. For the sake of her daughter, she had to endure and compromise. No matter how much she was hurt, it was fine, as long as her child was alright.
Seeing Elizabeth kneeling before her, Daisy felt an immense sense of pleasure. She couldnt help but pinch her chin, her face contorted, "Tomorrow, youre coming with me to Grandpas funeral. Whether you can replace your daughter as my servant depends on how well you behave tomorrow!"
The next morning, Elizabeth arrived early at the Memorial Chapel, not daring to be negligent when it came to her daughters well-being.
"Have you heard? The real daughter Mrs. Bennet found is no match for the previous one. Its said that the previous one even lost her innocence!"
"I used to think Elizabeth was gentle, but I didnt expect her to be so ruthless."
"I heard that Mr. Gatsby always catches Elizabeth staying in hotels and clubs. Even without that incident, the affair is almost certain!"
The accompanying ladies, upon seeing her, turned away.
"Go, turn on the sound system for the eulogy, or else..." Daisy suddenly appeared and threatened, but Elizabeth interrupted, "You dont need to threaten me, Im willing to play the farewell music for Grandpa."
Elizabeth walked to the sound system, each step heavy as if carrying gold, thinking of the days spent with her grandfather, her inner sorrow turning into tears that burst forth, unable to be held back or stopped.
Grandpa, its unfilial of me, I cant bring the murderer to justice.
Grandpa, may you rest in peace.
As the ripples in her heart began to calm, Elizabeth reached out and turned on the sound system.
"Ugh... Let go! You let go of me..."
"Little sister, look how comfortable my big brother is making you feel. Later, Ill make you feel even better, okay?"
"Bah! You devils will not die a good death. Even if I become a ghost, I will not spare you!"
"Brothers, get her, kill her!"
"Ah..."
After playing a section of the eulogy music, the sound system suddenly played such unbearable sounds.
Everyone except Elizabeth knew that this was the clip of Daisy being insulted!
Daisy also went mad instantly, shouting, "Ah—dont, dont—!"
Jay Gatsby, who just arrived, shouted angrily, "Who turned on the sound system?"
"It was Elizabeth Bennet," a lady replied.
Gatsby looked at Elizabeth with endless burning anger in his eyes, "Elizabeth Bennet, if you dont want Lucy to bear all this for you, get over here!"
Elizabeth felt bitter in her heart. These two were really in sync, even their threats to her were the same!
But she had no choice but to brace herself and walk over.
As soon as she approached, she was roughly pulled by Daisy, who yanked out a handful of her hair, and Daisy whispered to her in a voice only they could hear, "What do you think of my acting? Could I get the Best Actress award? Was the sound just now convincing? I almost believed it myself!"
Hearing this, Elizabeths eyes widened, looking at Daisy as if she were looking at a madwoman!
No, she should say she is a madwoman!
She did nothing, why should she bear the injustice that Daisy staged by herself!
Elizabeth broke free and ran to Gatsby, "Jay, you need to investigate Daisys incident again! It has nothing to do with me! I am innocent!"
The crowd murmured, and before Gatsby could respond, Daisy suddenly covered her head with her hands and screamed, shouting, "No, dont, I didnt hurt Elizabeth... Please, please spare me..."
Daisy was extremely out of control, grabbing and shaking people, causing the scene to be extremely chaotic.
Gatsbys hesitation just now disappeared in an instant, and he quickly went forward to hug Daisy and comfort her, "Its okay, dont be afraid, Im here, I wont let her go!"
Hearing this, Elizabeth felt as if the hot sun in July was unusually cold, and she was shivering all over, in order to Daisy, is he really going to do it to herself?
"Ah!"
"Zi—!"
Suddenly, two sounds rang out at the same time, and a car rushed into the courtyard, hitting a child and instantly throwing him into the air!
