While at the parlor of a suite in the Plaza Hotel, Gatsby tells Tom that Daisy never loved him and only married him because he was poor and she was tired of waiting for him. Tom was upset after Gatsby’s remark and informs everyone that Gatsby is a bootlegger and informs the others about the illegal activities Gatsby was involved in with Wolfsheim (Fitzgerald 130-135). Gatsby said this to Tom because he has grown to dislike him during his quest to win Daisy back. He does not like the way Tom treats Daisy and believes he should be the one that is with her, especially because of Tom’s actions toward Daisy such as talking on the phone with his mistress Myrtle, Wilson’s wife, in front of her (Fitzgerald 15).
