[HP] If youth has an ageless face

"I did contact several Quidditch scientists who were interested in Mr. Schwartz's manuscript."

"That's great." Edwin smiled. Unexpectedly, only a few days later, Mr. DuPont brought her good news at the banquet, "Is everything going well?"

"Two of them offered to contribute to the writing of the book, but they requested that they be named before Mr. Schwartz."

"This..." Edwin frowned, "Isn't it appropriate?"

"The income this book can bring them is limited, so although this request is not appropriate, it is not too much, ma'am." Mr. Du Pont smiled bitterly, "Someone suggested that they can sponsor their writing, but the first author must be Mr. Schwartz."

"Who is so kind?" Edwin read the answer from DuPont's face, "Could it be... Ethan Zabini?"

"It's me."

Edwina narrowed his eyes and looked straight at the man behind Dupont.

"Let me talk to her."

"No need." She interrupted Ethan and turned her gaze to Dupont, "I don't need other sponsors. Please tell the two Quidditch scientists that I can offer the same or even higher conditions. As long as the first author is Haydn."

"I will continue to negotiate with them," DuPont nodded, "to maximize your interests if possible."

"Thank you." She clinked glasses with Dupont, and Dupont thoughtfully found a reason to leave. When Edwin turned around, Ethan called her:

"Why are you rejecting my offer?"

Edwin snorted: "Didn't your wife convey my words to the point?"

"She said a lot." Ethan replied, "Which part are you referring to?"

"Don't talk about these twists and turns, Ethan." Edwin pulled back his smile, "You know, I really hate you."

"Why? Because I didn't speak for you, or because I sold the Three Lions? Or..." Ethan narrowed his eyes, "Because my current heir is not Blaise?"

Edwin pulled back with a sneer.

"I inherited Darren's estate legally, and now I also have the right to decide where my estate goes." He ignored her sneer, and even calmly sipped his wine, "I only have affection for Blaise, no obligation."

Edwina saw Mrs. Lopez not far away, a person who could even use her marriage as a bargaining chip, and she was definitely not a kind person: "You are a born businessman."

"That's awesome." Ethan distorted her sarcasm justifiably, "I hope I can see Blaise sometime."

"He doesn't need to see you."

"He is my nephew, as I said, I only have affection for him." Ethan played with the cup in his hand, "Let me meet him, maybe I will change my mind."

"You would be so kind?"

"Why not? In any case, he is the person with the closest blood relationship to me in the world."

Chatillon really went after England.

The news was sent by Sylvia - he didn't come directly to Edwina, but managed to meet Sylvia first.

"He brought a gift to the door. I didn't want to accept it at first, but he was so glib, as if I would insult his personality by refusing." Sylvia came to the door to explain, "He seems to have done a lot to you. Meticulous investigation, without even asking me about your recent situation."

"Then why did he see you?"

Sylvia showed helplessness: "I hope I can say something nice for him."

"Oh." Edwin pulled indifferently, "You saw him in person. So, what do you think of him?"

"A typical playboy, the kind who changes women like clothes. He said he would hold you in his hands like a princess. You know, people who say such sweet words are usually unreliable. Also, his whole body His name is Godefroy de Chatillon. He claims to be a nobleman among French wizards. I checked and found that his ancestors had intermarried with Muggle nobles. The castle under his name should be from the Muggle ancestors. Inherited."

"So is he good enough to be my next husband?"

Sylvia almost jumped up from the sofa: "Him? Don't worry about it, he's not worth it at all!"

"But I need to get married," Edwinra replied. "I have a hunch—the Zabinis are not going to let me have a good life."

"Ethan and Lopez?" Her eyebrows frowned, "Edwinra, everyone knows that there is no love in their marriage, it's just a transaction of money, power and connections."

"Interests can bind two people together into an unbreakable alliance." Edwin La said, "Lopez is asking around about my affairs, the purpose is unknown, but it is not well-intentioned. Ethan asked me to see Blaise, At the same time, he is trying to intervene in my plan to publish Haydn's posthumous works-I also don't know why he did this, but a shrewd businessman will never waste time and energy on things that have nothing to do with him. Some plan I don't know about."

"Is there anything about you that attracts their attention? Other than that you're Darren's wife. Or... conspiratorially, they want to get rid of Blaise?"

"Removing Blaise won't bring them any benefit, and I suspect they are coming for me." The woman's sixth sense made her smell the slightest danger, "I need a strong ally, come with me Join forces against this couple."
