Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 802: The taste of breaking free
"Miss Miriam, you are free to choose an unoccupied seat to sit down."
Simon Augustine, the owner of the family, always speaks very casually, which can somewhat give the impression of lack of concentration. But the family members on both sides of this long table would not underestimate him.
After all, how could it be easy for someone who can sit firmly in the position of lord and keep his ambitious elder brother from making the last step?
"Oh, thank you."
After a little thanks, Miriam stepped on a unique footstep to a certain empty seat, took out the exquisitely carved back chair and sat down.
I don't know if she did it on purpose. In short, it happened to be Mallor who was sitting next to her.
"You are welcome, Miss Miriam...You are a distinguished guest of our Augustine family!" Simon waved his hand, "And, if I have to say, I am worried that asking you to come in will disturb your rest! "
"Patriarch is serious," Milian smiled calmly, "I understand that Patriarch asked me to come in. He must want to ask me about Hogwarts..."
While speaking, Miriam's gaze drifted slightly, which contained a little unspeakable meaning.
"Ah, it is true," Simon nodded, "Herbert asked me just now about how to deal with this matter. I think this question is not easy to answer...Miss Miriam, today In the morning, you also went with Mallor. I believe that what you see will be more comprehensive than those of us who are sitting."
At this point, Simon paused a little.
"So, I want to ask what you think of the changes in it?"
Herbert asked Simon this question just now. To put it bluntly, no one can answer it. That McLean is currently in the limelight. According to the existing intelligence, the current Augustine family may not be able to win him.
However, this kind of frustration is not something anyone can say, at least the Patriarch Simon can't take the lead in opening this.
Obviously, when Herbert asked this question, he had ulterior motives.
But if it's Miriam, it doesn't matter if she raises Maca a little bit.
First, she is not a member of the Augustine family, and second... Don’t forget, she is also one of the leaders of this transaction!
However, Simon soon discovered that he was probably asking the wrong person.
"If I want to say, that Maca McLean may be great, but it's just a person. Well, even if he drags the whole Hogwarts into the water, I don't think there is anything... …As he said at the time, Hogwarts is just a school!"
In the middle of speaking, Miriam blinked her big eyes and gave everyone present a perfect smile.
"How can an inheritor of ancient wizards like your family be blocked by a young wizard who is less than twenty years old?"
What do you mean by not coming to Taiwan? That's it.
Millian's words almost lifted the Augustine family to the sky. But the point is, this woman clearly knows that the Augustine family's situation is not good, oh... Maybe she just guessed something, right?
Although Simon always felt that he was being cheated, he even suspected that this woman had some agreement with her brother. But in any case, this family meeting will continue now,
"That's right. For our Augustine family, McLean is just a slightly larger stumbling block..."
As he was talking, he caught a glimpse of his son Mario from the corner of his eye, and then suddenly he had an idea.
"...not to mention," Simon's tone suddenly relaxed again, "this marriage contract is not just for our family, is it?"
Yes, there is another Werther family standing up front!
When he said the phrase "Isn't it", Simon's gaze fell on his elder brother Herbert, and his intention to let the other party take this conversation couldn't be more obvious.
Herbert saw this, so he nodded without a smile, but quickly staggered his eyes and turned straight to Simon's son Mario.
"In that case, Mallor, you can go to the Witt family in the afternoon!"
It’s not a good idea to go to Witt’s house now. Herbert's move, apparently after the pit of Simon was unsuccessful, he simply changed the target to his son.
But this happened to be an idea that came up with Simon's excuse. As Charlotte's fiancé, it was quite reasonable for Mallor to go to the Witt family to ask about the situation in person.
It's better to say, besides Mario, who else can go to this juncture?
"Hmm..." Simon took another look at his son's side, and finally agreed, "Yes, Mallor, you should go there to check the situation in the afternoon!"
At any rate, he is the future son-in-law of the Witt family and the orthodox heir of the Augustine family. As long as the decline of the Augustine family is not known to the other party, Mallor's trip to the Werth family will not be embarrassed.
Mario is having a headache here! Hearing my own Lao Tzu's approval, he pulled his mouth and showed a humble smile that a younger generation should have.
"Okay, father, uncle, I will go after lunch at noon."
……
For Mario, the family meeting before noon was difficult. Especially after deciding on his afternoon itinerary, the conversation about Maca McLean basically came to an end.
In other words, no one wanted to mention that one.
All those present were members of the Augustine family's management. Although apart from a few people, no one knew everything about the entire family. But when it comes to the poor running of the family today, I'm afraid it can take a long time to pick any one.
Under this premise, if anyone wants to discuss how to deal with maca, that is which pot should be opened and which pot should be used. Everyone is willing to do such unpleasant things.
So, after that, I completely entered the nonsense time. Each member talked about each other, and there was no truth in the usual family meetings.
Seriously, if the daily atmosphere in the family can be more positive and upward, Mario will not become the bird like it is now.
I thought that I might inherit such a broken family in the future...
"Oh"
Mallus sits in his room, eating lunch by himself, but he has to stop for a while after taking a bite.
"Tuk Tuk."
Suddenly, two light knocks interrupted Mallor's sigh. He was taken aback for a moment, then put down the silver spoon in his hand, got up and walked towards the door.
There are certainly not many people who will come to his room at this time, and the most likely thing is his father who is more or less cheating on his son.
Mallor reached out his hand to open the door, and was about to open his mouth to say something. Unexpectedly, it was not his father who was standing outside.
"Miss Miriam?"
Taking advantage of lunch time, this woman has changed her dress again. The close-fitting tailoring and the intricate and delicate lace outline her figure just right. Compared with the enchanting before, she is obviously more solemn and luxurious at this moment.
"Master Augustine, won't you invite me in and sit down?"
After being reminded by the other party, Mallor nodded suddenly, and then invited sideways:
"Please forgive my negligence. After all, people always become a little forgetful when they see beautiful things."
Girls often like to be praised by the opposite sex, and of course Miriam does the same. But she was not an ordinary woman, and she only slightly hooked the corners of her mouth as a natural compliment for Mario's habit.
Millian, who was walking into the room to look at the surrounding furnishings, turned around after hearing the sound of closing doors behind her, and looked at the questioning Mario:
"Sorry, it seems to interrupt your meal..."
"Oh, no, it's okay." Mallor smiled and said, "Actually, I don't have any appetite at all, so please don't care about Miss Millian."
"Really?" Millian suddenly pretended to regret, "Looking at your meals, you haven't moved much, I think I can just invite you to have lunch outside!"
"Lunch together?"
Ma Lei was puzzled. I don’t know what this woman is thinking~IndoMTL.com~Yes," Miriam nodded, "It's not just lunch, we can pick a place to have a drink later. Afternoon tea, enjoy the quiet time after an afternoon..."
"Uh"
Seeing that the other party wants to continue talking, Mallu hurriedly interrupted:
"Miss Miriam, although I am looking forward to having dinner and tea with a beautiful woman like you, it's just...I have to go to the Witt family in the afternoon, I'm afraid I can't..."
But Millian heard this, but immediately chuckled.
"Master Augustine, I can see that you actually don't want to go to the Witt family. But also, at this time, who wants to go there and find it unhappy?"
Mario was immediately surprised that he was so obvious?
But before he could say anything, Miriam continued to speak on her own.
"...In fact, my companion is currently a guest in the Werther family. When he comes back from there in the evening, I can ask him to tell you some of the Werth family’s reactions. And you, just have a tea and chat with me. , Just wait quietly."
"This..."
Mario didn't know what to say anymore.
"Don't worry!"
Millian stared into his eyes suddenly, and said in a seductive tone:
"It is impossible for your father and uncle to go to the Witt family and ask if you have been there, and... don't you want to feel the feeling of breaking free?"
If it weren't for Mario to feel lucid, he would probably think that this woman was using the Imperius Curse! No, is there Veeva's blood flowing in her body? Or is she just Veeva?
"It will be the honor of my life to be able to have lunch with you."
Mario couldn't imagine how he refused.
