[HP] If youth has an ageless face
Chapter 68 67
Although the town of Ambrosio is very close to Sao Paulo, it has not been able to get the light of this big city.This dilapidated town still makes a living from fishing. Half of the residents are struggling on the verge of food and clothing. Most of them have not even been able to leave the fishing village in their entire lives. Of course, no tourists will visit here for no reason.
The last time the residents of Ambrosio saw outsiders was nearly 20 years ago, when the creditors of the Davis family came to their door.
Many people remember that great ship from afar, with three banners on its mast: the Union Jack, the British Ministry of Magic's banner, and the last one - on a white background, with the family coat of arms, which fluttered in the wind and warned all The man is a ship of extraordinary origin.The small pier in the town of Ambrosio couldn't moor such a large boat, so they anchored in the deep water first, and then a few people changed to small boats and drove to the shore.
The first captain to go ashore was well-dressed, unlike any rude crew they had ever seen.He used an unfamiliar accent to ask where Davis's family lived. Facing the doubts of the townspeople, he simply stated that he was looking for them under the order of "another" Mr. Davis.
The people in the town had never known that the Davis family had such prominent relatives in the UK before, and they "sold out" them in a hurry while envious, which also exposed the secret that the Davis family had been hiding for several years.
It turned out that the friendly and honest neighbor in their eyes was the illegitimate son of a British rich man. He was ungrateful and greedy for money. After stealing two hundred Galleons belonging to his half-brother, he fled in a panic overnight and came to Brazil, where he married and had children trying to make the past a reality. and buried.
He didn't change his surname, maybe because he thought that his brother would not chase him to the ends of the earth.But now, his brother came.
The residents of Ambrosio Town agreed that his elder brother was not short of two hundred Galleons. The reason why he sent people to chase him all the way to Brazil was just to teach this white-eyed wolf brother a lesson. He deserved it. .
However, the fact is that the family cannot afford to pay all the debts.Even if the counterparty in England has magnanimously charged less interest, they are still thirty galleons short of the money.
How to do?
The townspeople don't know how the couple negotiated and bargained. They only know that when the giant ship left the port the next day, it took an extra living creature - Tracy, the eldest daughter of the family.
Then things gradually came.Oh, so they sold their daughter for thirty Galleons to repay the debt!Originally, the captain only agreed to pay [-] Galleons, but in the end, the couple couldn't bear to talk, talk softly, and were too lazy to quarrel, so they increased the price by [-] Galleons.
As for Tracy's future life, the townspeople are generally pessimistic.A little girl was "sold" again, what good could happen to her?
It's okay to say these things, no one really takes them to heart.Although everyone looked at this family with contempt from now on, but as time went by, no one always mentioned this matter.It's just that when seeing their poor life for 20 years, some people will sigh "it's their own fault".
But 20 years later, the town of Ambrosio ushered in another rare visitor.
Yes, he had come to the Davis family again on someone's orders.
The town is boiling.
Facing the aging couple and their grown son, who has taken over his father's responsibilities as a fisherman, a stranger tells them a shocking news:
"Your daughter was adopted by the Davises as if they were her own. Known for her beauty, she has been married three times and has one son. Each husband was born prominent and very wealthy."
The couple looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to speak.
"Do you want to see your own daughter again?" The stranger showed a photo, and the person on it made the family of three in front of him afraid to recognize each other. , that is, you, but you are still living in a fishing shed... Are you willing?"
On the same day, another group of people was instigated by others and came to the small town of Otre in Romania.
They found the husband of "Paula" and told him a very simple sentence: "Your wife's original family must have something to do with you, right? Her sister has secretly visited Romania and knows about your family. Things. Now she has said that she wants to show you color, although the Romaniel Ministry of Magic has always turned a blind eye to such things as abduction and trafficking, but once it rises to the diplomatic level, this matter is different, you understand ?”
Paula's husband already had a guilty conscience, and he was flustered immediately after hearing what he said.
"But I can make sure that you—your family—are safe and sound." The leader said, and he pointed to the lady beside him, "Ms. Skeeter will write an article to defend you. She is the most just person in Britain." The reporter who came forward this time is entirely out of sympathy for your family."
"The conditions are also very simple." Skeeter smiled suspiciously, "As long as you give me the exclusive right to interview and keep silent about all other media."
Edwin pulls a party where she brings Blaise to the guests for the first time and introduces Ethan to him.
"He's your uncle," Edwin said to Blaise. "This is your aunt."
"It's so cute." Mrs. Lopez said with a smile. "His eyes are just like yours, Ethan."
"Brace inherited his father's eyes." Edwina corrected calmly, and her eyes briefly met with Mrs. Lopez, who smiled brightly: "Shall we go for a walk in the garden?"
She called a nanny to accompany Blaise, and then the two women walked to the secluded open-air corridor outside the ballroom tacitly.
"My patience is not infinite." Edwin opened the mouth first, "I advise you to accept it as soon as it is good."
"How do you want to teach me about my bad words?" Mrs. Lopez's smile did not change at all. "Dear Edwin, you have to save face and feathers, but I am different. Anyway, I have such a bad reputation, Say what you want, I'm nothing more than a broken can."
"Why are you targeting me everywhere?"
Mrs. Lopez shook her fan, and it took a moment before she replied quietly: "My husband has another woman in his heart."
"I don't care about your business affairs." Edwin pulls pretending not to understand, "Did I offend you?"
"Yes." Mrs. Lopez replied clearly. She walked behind Edwina and put her arms around her shoulders affectionately. "When I see you, I will think of myself when I was young." She seemed to be emotional , "At that time, I was young and beautiful, and I had many suitors. I was not inferior to you today. But now, I am old and decrepit, and I have become a laughing stock..."
"Don't tell me that you are jealous of my beauty." Edwina couldn't help laughing softly, "You have been in the field of love and moon for so many years, you shouldn't be the kind of person who cares about every detail, right?"
"I'm not." Mrs. Lopez replied, "but I'm curious why so many people miss you so much. Forgive me for my stupid eyes. I didn't see your extraordinary charm..."
Edwina suddenly raised his hand to block her movement with a fan: "Is this a temptation?"
Mrs. Lopez smiled: "Are you scared, Edwin?"
"Interesting hobby." She glanced at him, "but I don't like this kind of game."
"It's just a kiss, I just want to taste your taste." Mrs. Lopez smiled frivolously, "Are you surprised? I love men and women. Thousands of words turn into one sentence: I only like beautiful women."
"I am honored to receive your compliment."
"But you haven't charmed me yet, Edwina." Lopez chuckled, "I really wish I could see the mysterious charm of the Black Widow..."
"I don't care about your purpose." Edwina interrupted her, "But I don't want to see you again from now on."
She suddenly remembered why she didn't like Lopez in the first place-her eyes were always glued to her, like a shadow, lingering and lingering.
Does she love men and women?She only likes beauties?
Edwinra didn't quite believe her words.
"Wait!" Seeing that she was about to leave, Mrs. Lopez suddenly raised her voice, "I have a lot of property in my name, but I have no heirs."
"It has nothing to do with me."
"I can leave them all to you."
"I do not need."
"As long as you spend the night with me."
This time, she laughed out loud: "Stop saying such crazy things."
"What those men can give you, I can give you too." Lopez continued, "I have been the mistress of countless people in my life, but I have never adopted anyone."
"Do you think I'm a canary that will be adopted?" As soon as the words came out, inspiration suddenly flashed, and Edwina stopped and turned around, "You know, I suddenly discovered that you look like a person." She said slowly, "Your blonde hair and your blue eyes remind me of a friend of mine..."
Lopez gradually put away his smirk.
"What's your relationship with Sylvia?"
