The next morning, the results of the trial were made public: Sean escaped prison, but suffered a huge amount of property damage, and the person who went to jail was replaced by his mistress.

However, before he could heave a sigh of relief, Sean heard another shocking news—the money in his Gringotts account had shrunk by more than half for no reason.

It is not without reason, Gringotts records clearly stated that in the ten hours from the end of the trial yesterday to today's announcement of the verdict, Mrs. Greengrass transferred the money several times, among which not only Garen, and some jewels and silver at Gringotts.

"No way." Facing his questioning, Sylvia looked very calm, "If I hadn't spent a lot of time managing the Ministry of Magic, how could you stand here safely?"

Sean held the account sheet and almost fainted from anger: "How could it cost so much!"

Sylvia didn't say a word, just looked at him with a half-smile.Sean choked, and then asked with difficulty:

"Where will the fines now handed over to the Ministry of Magic come from?"

"How do I know?" Sylvia glanced at him lightly, "Why don't you ask your little lovers outside to see if you can take back some of the gifts you gave them? But as far as I know , after getting the news of your accident, some of them are already impatient to get rid of you. You come to the door now, and you don’t know if they are willing to recognize you. "

Sean choked, and before he could get into a rage, Sylvia added: "If you want to divorce me, that's fine! I can't ask for it."

Her smile became brighter, and it also reminded Sean of another thing: Divorce requires payment of alimony.

How could he have any money for Sylvia to search for!

After receiving a letter from Sylvia, Edwin pulls off Christian as he promised.At this moment, he no longer had the anger he had when he was kidnapped, and even looked at her in surprise: "You are different from the rumors."

Edwina glanced at him.

"Do you have something to ask me?" Christian read her mind.

"That's right." Edwina nodded, and simply asked the question that had troubled her for a long time, "I was under strict supervision when I was in Boulogne Castle, and I couldn't even communicate with the outside world. My brother You lost touch with me before giving it to Chatillon, but why have you never noticed anything wrong?"

"Because I have been receiving letters from France on a regular basis, with the same handwriting and tone as Isabella, of course I will not doubt it." When France was mentioned, Christian's expression became a little more gloomy, "Of course, those It's all Chatillon's forgery."

"Have you never heard of Chatillon's Bluebeard nickname before their marriage?"

"I didn't know it at first, and it was too late when I knew it." Christian recalled, "Isabella met him at her friend's wedding ceremony, and he tricked her with sweet words. Said that she didn't listen, not only forced her to die, but almost eloped with him..."

Edwin La already understood.Christian must have allowed Isabella and Chatillon's marriage with a sense of luck. Like her, he didn't take Chatillon's notoriety seriously at first.

"Okay." Edwinla had no intention of continuing to talk about Chatillon and the nightmarish castle. "Don't be too sad. At least, she didn't suffer any additional torture before she died."

Christian pointed to the roses on the coffee table in the living room: "Can you give me some roses?"

Not to mention that these roses were gifts from others. Roses are not suitable for random gifts.Edwin raised his eyebrows and was about to refuse, but Christian said his reasons in an orderly manner: "I need an excuse to explain my sudden disappearance last night, if you can give me some flowers, I can say I'm here to catch up with you."

"This..." Edwina hesitated for a moment, feeling that there was no need to argue with him, "Okay." However, when handing the rose to him, she added, "I don't want to get involved with Chatillon anymore. anything."

"I understand." Christian nodded, "I won't appear in front of you again for no reason."

In the evening, Ethan returned to his residence on the outskirts of Cairo.The butler hurried forward and said the deafening news: "Madam is here."

Ethan was stunned for a moment, stared blankly at the housekeeper for a moment, and then asked in amazement: "Ma'am?"

"Yes." The housekeeper nodded, "I'll be here in the afternoon. I want to send you a letter, but she said no..."

Before he finished speaking, Ethan had left the butler and walked into the house quickly.

Edwina waited in the living room: "You are back."

"How did you come?"

She was silent for a while, avoiding his question: "On the way I came here, I found that most people walking on the street covered their mouths and noses with gauze. What's going on?"

"You shouldn't be here now." Ethan stepped forward and started to make tea, but Edwin La found that the tea he used smelled strange, "During this period, an unknown disease broke out in Egypt, and it has died. A dozen people."

"what is this?"

"It is said that the herbal medicine can prevent the disease." Ethan handed her a cup of tea, "No one knows what the disease is, and we can only use this unreliable method to deal with it before the research results come out. The Egyptian Ministry of Magic is preparing Close the border, don't stay long, go back to England tomorrow."

Edwin rubbed his teacup: "What about you?"

"I'm going to stay here and take care of the rest."

"Can making money be more important than life?"

Ethan paused, put down the teapot and straightened up to look at her: "Why did you come to Egypt?"

Edwin pulled down the teacup slowly, and the two looked at each other, and the answer was clear at a glance.

"Who is he?"

"No one." Edwin shook his head and denied, "It's just that procrastination like this is of no benefit to you or me."

"Okay." Ethan replied curtly, "Did you bring the agreement?"

Edwin pulled the drafted divorce agreement to him for review, Ethan glanced at it absently, there was nothing special about it.She didn't even ask for any of his property other than the Zabini estate and Darren's personal belongings that had once belonged to Brace.

"you sure?"

"I'm sure. The main reason I want the Zabini Manor is that I like the Palace of Mirrors very much. As for the other properties... They are basically earned by you, and should belong to you and your family." She has already Draw a clear line between them.Ethan thought it was a bit ridiculous, but he didn't refute, but calmly picked up the quill——

"Sir." But the butler interrupted him at this moment, "Your letter."

Ethan opened the letter and read it quickly, his eyebrows furrowed together.

"If there is something urgent, you can deal with it first." Edwin La expressed his understanding, "I can wait."

Without expressing his gratitude to her for her thoughtfulness, Ethan left in a hurry, which was both a real matter and a kind of escape.

Edwina took a sip of her still-steaming herbal tea, then recalled her last visit to Egypt.The most memorable encounter was undoubtedly the fortune-teller who pestered her in the downtown area. Of course, she didn't believe in such mysterious sand divination techniques, but what did that person say at that time?

Not a good word anyway.
