[HP] If youth has an ageless face

"We meet again, ma'am." Mr. Dupont looked at her. "You are still so bright and moving."

Edwin pulled a light clink with him: "Thank you for the gift you gave Blaise."

Mr. Dupont smiled, and neither of them got through the conversation.

"Why did you come to Mrs. Lopez's banquet today?" In my impression, DuPont is not a person who is keen on social activities. Both Ulea and Darren have said that he has a tendency to be a bit of a workaholic.

Hearing her question, DuPont's face showed a bit of unspeakable entanglement.Edwin La noticed the clue:

"Is this about me?"

"It's irrelevant, but I think it's better to tell you." Dupont sighed, "Mrs. Lopez is currently the owner of the Three Lions."

Edwin's eyes widened instinctively, and it actually took her brain several seconds to digest Dupont's words: "Didn't the Three Lions... he sold the team?"

"I'm afraid so," said Dupont apologetically. "Mr. Zabini—I'll call him by his first name if you don't mind—Ethan has his own business ideas, so he's bringing the team The sale provided me with some start-up capital.”

Edwina was aroused in his heart: "I know the financial situation of Zabini's family, he doesn't need to sell the team to raise money at all!"

"Ethan is very ambitious. He doesn't like the partnership system of the Three Lions. He wants to build his own business empire, so it is more beneficial for him to sell the Three Lions." The cooperation between Dupont and the Zabini family has It has been going on for many years, and now that they are leaving, he looks very helpless, "I know this is not what you would like to see, but this is the end of the matter..."

"He just graduated from Hogwarts this year, didn't he?"

"Yes."

"He has always had the talent to become a successful businessman. Shrewd, rational, and cold-blooded..." Edwin pulled out the child's face in his memory, "You should have been in touch with the Zabini family in the past few years Right? What has he done besides selling the Three Lions?"

"Ma'am, please don't think too badly of Ethan." Dupont said to her rather critically, "Selling the Three Lions was the only big move Ethan made after graduation. As far as I know, he hasn't figured out what to do next. How to go."

Edwin nodded: "If I'm not mistaken, he will come to this banquet today, right? That's right, if he really has such big ambitions, he should start building his own social network."

Mrs. Lopez has lost her benefactor and only has expenses but no income. Spending money to buy one of the best football teams in England is a safe and profitable business for her.One is eager to sell, and the other is willing to buy. Edwinla doesn't care about the final transaction price of the Three Lions. This team has a different meaning to her, which cannot be measured by money.

"I hope you don't blame Ethan." Dupont begged, "The Zabini family was ashamed of you back then, but Ethan did nothing wrong."

"He didn't hurt me directly, but he didn't speak for me." Edwin retorted coldly, "I have been his sister-in-law for four years, and I dare not say that she is meticulous, but at least I try my best to care for him and take care of him." He died. But when I was expelled from Zabini Manor, he just stood there without saying a word. Ask yourself, I didn't want to covet their family's wealth at that time, what I wanted to take away was just It's just Darren's notebook—other than him, the entire Zabini family has no other person who is engaged in herbal medicine, isn't this an excessive request?"

"Ma'am," Du Pont grabbed her arm beyond the moment, "please keep your voice down."

"In the end, I only took two things: one is the wedding ring, which they have no right to take back according to the rules; the other is this." She broke free and raised her left hand. Only then did Dupont see clearly the several rings wrapped around her wrist. Gold thread, a wooden pendant hung on the gold thread, with a strange rune engraved on it, "I lied and said this is an amulet I have worn since I was a child, and they allowed me to take it away."

"I'm sorry, ma'am."

"What's the use of being sorry." She mocked, "Mr. DuPont, you judge fairly: do I have any reason to hate their family? Leaving aside the attitude towards me, the wealth that Ethan now owns should belong to me Son Blaise Zabini, and that includes the team his uncle played for and his father owned - that's Darren's team!"

Dupont blinked at her very quickly, then looked behind her and raised his voice to say hello: "Mrs. Lopez."

Within a split second of turning around, Edwina had sorted out her expression, and Mrs. Lopez had already looked at her and smiled: "We meet again, Mrs. Zabini."

"Thank you. I enjoyed the wine tonight."

DuPont has quietly left to make room for the two ladies.

"Oh, that's what I brought back from France. It's a great honor to receive your praise. I believe that the price of these red wines will increase several times once your praise is spread."

"People just like to follow trends, and there's nothing unusual about that."

Mrs. Lopez looked at her intently: "This time you are more like the Mrs. Zabini I have heard. Only you dare to say such high-profile words."

Edwin pulled a smile, but did not answer.

"I saw your portrait." Mrs. Lopez said to herself. "It's placed in Diagon Alley where people come and go. Everyone who passes by can't help but be attracted by you."

"That's the artist's craftsmanship."

"You are too modest." Mrs. Lopez coughed and smiled maliciously, "Although you are married, the number of suitors who want to win your favor seems to be increasing. Because of your arrival, I will be here tonight. There are more guests at my banquet."

"Really? No one has ever pursued me openly." Edwina glanced at the men gathered together, "Maybe they are afraid of being cursed by the black widow?"

"You really know how to joke." Contrary to what she thought, Mrs. Lopez was not as busy as others to spy on her two marriage histories, "Your husband is also a big-hearted person. To be honest, if I To hear people talk about my wife like that makes me very angry."

Edwina slowly sipped the wine, looking for Haydn in the crowd.

Mrs. Lopez tentatively continued: "After all, those comments are too harsh and explicit."

"It's impossible for me to take a second look at the person who said those words." Edwina saw her other target, she turned the glass in her hand, with a sweet smile on her face, "Ethan, long time no see .”

Mrs. Lopez's gaze flicked between the two, becoming a little playful.

"Mrs. Schwartz—"

"No, no, Ethan, people still call me Mrs. Zabini." Edwina corrected with a smile, "It's been two and a half years since we last met, right? It doesn't feel like it's been that long .”

"You are still as beautiful as ever."

Edwina never cared about other people's compliments on her appearance, but this time she lowered her face: "Isn't this kind of compliment inappropriate, Ethan?" Before he could respond, she continued, "Although Darren Gone, but I'm still your nephew's mother, please treat me with respect and don't be so frivolous."

Ethan was stunned, and tried to change the topic a little bluntly: "Sorry. Speaking of Blaise, I haven't met him yet, maybe I should..."

"No need," Edwinra interrupted him. "I keep telling my son that he, like me, was kicked out of the Zabini family. Darren will always be the father who loved him dearly and my dearly loved father." Husband, but other people with the surname 'Zabini'... it's better to stay away from them. After all, no matter how nice you are to them, you will inevitably run the risk of being stabbed in the back!"

She put down this sentence in a stern voice, and then walked away.This time she found Haydn without much trouble.

"What's wrong with you?" Haydn obviously saw her angry expression.

"Did you see that man over there?" She raised her chin in Ethan's direction, "His name is Ethan Zabini, Darren's younger brother."

Haydn didn't answer.

She took his arm and leaned close to his ear: "I don't like him. Can you help me get rid of him? "

Get rid of Ethan, and the huge wealth that should have belonged to Blaise will return to him.

She wants to get back what they owed her.
