Chapter 7

Because Lily took Selden away from Bertha the other day, she decided to retaliate. She went and told Percy all the dirt about Lily and scared him away so he left Bellamont. Then to Lily's face she was all like “Wow weird that he left. Wonder why....” Lily is very upset, and rightfully so because she just lost her chances with a really rich single man, meaning she just lost a very rich life, which is enough to ruin anyone's day. Judy sends Lily to pick up Gus, and on the way back Gus is talking about work. Then Lily gets a great idea to relieve her debt a little bit – she starts complaining (but in a beautiful tragic way, not an annoying way) about her financial situation, and Gus, who works in the stock market, offers (as Lily knew he would) to take her money and help her invest it to help her earn some. Lily is delighted (because it was her idea) and gratefully accepts his help.
