[HP] If youth has an ageless face

"Someone in the paper says you're a gold digger."

"Really?" Edwina was cutting open apricots with a knife, "I guess...it's the Daily Prophet?"

"That's right." Chatillon waved the newspaper in his hand and threw it on the coffee table, "Come on, Blaise, come to me."

Blaise obediently climbed down from the sofa and walked over. Edwin looked up, and Chatillon unwrapped the kraft paper package he brought back. Inside was a set of exquisite books: "Books?"

"French books." He hugged Blaise into his lap, "We will return to France when the castle over there is renovated."

Edwin La did not mind living in another country, but Chatillon deliberately boasted that France was unparalleled, and never revealed half of the details of his life there, which made her a little curious Some worried: "You always talk about that castle, what's so special about it?"

"You will know soon, my dear." Chatillon rubbed Blaise's hair, and the latter was already happily flipping through the French book, "Brace, are you also looking forward to going to France?"

"Come here, let's eat some fruit." Edwina grabbed the napkin and wiped his fingers, and called Blaise, but his reaction was flat and even unhappy, and he grabbed Chatillon's sleeve and refused to move for a long time.

This kid has a problem: picky eaters.

"Eating more fruits will make you look more handsome in the future." Edwin could only use the old trick to fool him, "And girls don't like boys who are picky eaters."

It worked.

"He will definitely be a handsome guy in the future." Chatillon commented while Blaise reluctantly ate apricots, "Look, he is already very beautiful now."

"The word pretty is not usually used to describe boys."

"But I can't find a better word," retorted Chatillon.Edwinra didn't answer any more. She took the newspaper that he had thrown aside earlier and began to read the report accusing her of being a "gold digger". After reading a few lines, she turned her eyes to the author's column:

Rita Skeeter.

She had heard of Skeeter, a notorious third-rate reporter known for her gossip and stunts, though she now had a place in the Daily Prophet for her brazenness and her exploits of popular psychology. , but many people will frown when they mention her.It is said that once entangled by Skeeter, it is impossible to escape easily.

But why did Skeeter suddenly stare at her?Edwin La is the target of all kinds of publications, and it is not easy for Skeeter to get a piece of it... Also, the title seems to have a deep meaning.

"The Past and Present of Black Widow"

That is, there is still neutralization?Edwina pondered for a moment, feeling that this matter was a bit strange.

After some time, on the eve of her departure from France, Edwin made an appointment with Sylvia: "How is it going?"

"Lopez wanted to come see me, and I declined. She sent a message on her behalf, saying that she would make it up to me, as long as I stop telling those reporters about my upbringing. I haven't responded yet."

"What price did she offer?"

"She guessed it was you who taught me to do it," said Sylvia. "She would give me half of her estate at once, and the Three Lions as a bonus. On condition that I change my tune, Say good things for her, her remaining property has nothing to do with me—by the way, she also asked me to sign an agreement."

"Do you think these conditions are acceptable?"

Sylvia hesitated.

"I will not harm you," Edwin said.

She thought about it for a few seconds: "Okay... After all, I don't have any feelings for her. This money is a windfall for me, and this matter also gave me the opportunity to play the role of a weak person. To be honest, I made money from it." Many people sympathized and gained some understanding.”

"I'm sorry for taking advantage of you, but I don't want to let go of this good opportunity to hit Lopez. Seeing you is not a disadvantage now, and I don't have to burden myself." Edwin said bluntly, "Will you accept her offer?" The conditions are up to you to decide, and my goal has been achieved."

"Do you think this counts as defeating Lopez?" Sylvia couldn't help laughing, "You didn't earn anything at all."

"Continuing the fight will only hurt both sides. Lopez is more experienced than me in this regard, who knows what tricks she can come up with." Edwin nodded, "I don't want her to be completely defeated, I just want her-- Let the Zabini couple—just understand my strength. If they dare to act rashly, I will not show mercy.”

Sylvia heard something strange from her words: "Are you not going to take revenge on Ethan?"

This time Edwina was silent for a while: "What revenge do I have to avenge?"

"Are you ready to give up just after getting married?" Sylvia was a little annoyed. "I thought you would make a good plan and let him, let him..."

In the end she couldn't go on.

"You see, Ethan is indeed too much, but the fact is: what he did was just 'ruthless', but it was far from the point of hurting the world." Edwin La explained to himself, "I'm about to It’s meaningless to continue to compete with him after leaving the UK. Besides, he’s still Blaise’s uncle, and now he still visits or mails gifts from time to time. Although I hate him, Blaise is different.”

"Just because he is Blaise's closest blood relative besides you in the world, isn't it?" Sylvia sighed, "His absent-minded uncle may not be a reliable family member for Blaise."

"He's still Darren's younger brother," Edwin said. "Why should I fight him to the death?"
