[HP] If youth has an ageless face

When Madame Zabini, widowed for the fourth time, reappeared in British society, everyone who met her noticed that she was a little different.

If Mrs. Zabini used to be quite high-ranking and disdain to care about people with bad mouths, now she has become willing to fight back against those who offend her.

The first to suffer was Mrs. Lopez, with whom she had an old grudge.

"Hey, isn't this Mrs. Zabini?" Lopez had been eyeing her as early as she appeared at the ball, and at this moment, seeing the opportunity, she rushed forward, as if to borrow The machine taunted her, "Are you still used to life in England? I know that the French like to do endless tricks. Compared with it, the UK will inevitably seem a little boring, right?"

Others may not understand the meaning of her words, just think that this is a confrontation between a pair of old enemies, but Edwin La is very clear about the meaning behind Lopez's words.She didn't answer in a hurry, but took a sip of wine first, glanced at the women who were waiting around to watch the show, and then said slowly: "That's right, the way of the French complements you very well." As if afraid that others might not understand, she added, "There are many men who miss the good times they spent with you. After hearing that you are married, they all sigh and feel deep sympathy. "

Lopez's face turned pale for a moment.Out of face, she had to force her composure in front of the people who were secretly laughing, but after the onlookers dispersed, she stepped forward and whispered through gritted teeth: "You are quite capable, even Chatillon can Get it right...but you can't get everyone right!"

Edwin pulled his lips and smiled, the black diamond ring on his finger caught Lopez's eyes: "You mean Skeeter's report? Do you think I will care?"

Before France blocked the news, Pennington disclosed all of Chatillon's stories, which caused a huge sensation in Britain.However, the influence of Skeeter’s article is still strong. Many people firmly believe that Constance’s running away from home was caused by Edwin Lar behind the scenes, and then think of her four widows and Chatillon’s "Bluebeard" In terms of identity, people have basically firmly associated Edwin's name with words such as "black widow", "conspiracy", and "death".

But Edwinra liked this feeling—after returning from Boulogne Castle, she was the first to feel the change in herself.She is no longer the young woman who only knows how to have fun and is still ignorant of the dangers of the human heart.A part of her soul died with the murder of Chatillon, and a part of her lost her innocence, spread her wings, and longed for the kiss of the night.

"Ms. Lopez," she looked at the woman across from her, and couldn't help smiling, "I thought the grievances between us had been wiped out, but you don't seem to think so."

"Oh?"

"You have another trick, right?" She glanced across the crowd and soon caught the eye of a man she didn't know whose name Lopez had tried to strike up a conversation with earlier.

"So are you ready for the call, Madame Zabini?"

Edwina smiled and didn't answer, she hooked her fingers at the male guest from a distance, and he looked around and was pleasantly surprised to find that he had become the lucky one.

"Mrs. Zabini," he couldn't wait to stop talking to others and walked towards them. Lopez watched her eyes gradually become alert, "my name is..."

He has no wedding ring on his finger. "Are you single?"

The other party was surprised and delighted: "Yes."

"Are you British?"

"No, I'm Irish."

"So you're here for business?"

"Exactly."

Single, foreigner, doing business... Edwin understood.She reached out, pulled Lopez's tie in front of his face, and whispered in his ear in an openly flirtatious gesture: "It's so boring here, let's find a quiet place to talk, how about?"

Lopez's eyes stabbed hostilely, sharper than a dagger.Edwina smiled provocatively, took his arm and walked away.

If this can make the enemy feel aggrieved and depressed, what's the point of playing in the world for a while?

"That," the butler hurriedly interrupted the Davis family's dinner, he seemed a little flustered, "Mrs. Lopez wants to see you."

"Ms. Lopez?" Michelle froze for a moment, then looked at her parents happily, "Dad, Mom..."

"Why does Mrs. Lopez want to see us?" Joshua, the head of the family, asked cautiously.Unlike a pair of children immersed in excitement, he and Sophie had already become anxious during the long wait, and even had the idea of ​​returning to Brazil.

"I will know when I see you." The butler replied, "Mrs. Lopez has come and is in the living room at this moment."

The Davis family has been in the UK for more than half a year. They are not allowed to move around freely, but the housekeeper will organize them to travel around from time to time.These expenses are borne by "Mrs. Lopez", the person who brought them to the UK.

As for Lopez's relationship with the eldest daughter?The housekeeper kept his mouth shut, and they knew nothing about it.

Michelle thought that she had seen enough of the world in the past six months, but when she saw the lady sitting on the sofa, her eyes widened suddenly—no wonder, when she grew up in a small fishing village in Brazil, when did she see Have you ever lived such a graceful and dignified person?In front of her, Michelle's new clothes suddenly looked lackluster.

"Are you... Mrs. Lopez?" Sophie asked nervously.

"Exactly." There was no smile on Lopez's face, she nodded her chin towards the sofa, "please sit down."

After the Davis family was seated, the butler brought tea.Lopez barely suppressed the anger he had just received from Edwin La, and got straight to the point:

"Her fourth husband died and now she is back in the UK."

Joshua was shocked: "Dead?"

She had just married and gone to France when they came!

Lopez raised a sneering smile: "I said it earlier, your daughter is extraordinary." Regardless of the expression of the person opposite, she continued in one breath, "She inherited the fief, castle and countless treasures from him."

Michelle's eyes lit up immediately.Lopez saw her reaction clearly: "Smart people don't speak dark words. Of course, I didn't bring you from Brazil with good intentions to reunite you with your daughter. On the contrary, I had some festivals with her, and I missed her. help-"

Having said that, Lopez's intentions couldn't be more obvious.Although they knew there was no such thing as a free lunch, Joshua and his wife did not expect that she would use them to hurt their daughter.Although they haven't seen each other for many years, they feel somewhat guilty towards the eldest daughter.At this moment, they looked at each other and dared to raise an objection: "This...isn't it good?"

"What's wrong?" Lopez didn't give them a chance to refuse at all, and directly showed his trump card, "It's okay if you don't want to, you have been living with me and playing with mine all year .Pay back the bill, and I will send you back to Brazil tomorrow, and I will never bother you again."

Hit and hit!Sophie gasped and grabbed her husband's wrist.Liam estimated their expenses in his heart, and he didn't dare to say anything.However, Michelle asked very proactively: "What do you want us to do?"

"It's very simple." Lopez wanted to kill Edwin by surprise, "After a while, I will take you into a banquet. Your task is to make people who don't know her think that she is a wolf with a heart and a heart. When you get on the branch, you can't wait to get rid of your past. You don't need me to teach you what to say specifically?"

"But, but," Liam stumbled, "we tell them, will they believe it?"

"Anyway, as long as you say what you want, other things have nothing to do with you." Lopez emphasized again, "But don't say too much, it must be credible."

What's so difficult about it?Michelle smiled and said yes.

"After the work is done, this villa will be yours. If you do well, there will be other rewards." Lopez immediately moved out of the initial rhetoric that persuaded the Davis family, "Of course, it depends on how many things can be searched from her." Your performance."

When Edwina finished dressing and came out of the bathroom, the man was leaning on the bed and looking at her longingly.

"Good performance." She patted his cheek, ignoring the surprise in his eyes, "Here——"

The man instinctively caught what she threw, only to find that it was a money bag containing Galleons.He was stunned for a moment, and the annoyance after being humiliated immediately appeared on his face: "What does this mean, Mrs. Zabini?"

"It's hard work, I don't have the habit of letting others work for nothing." Edwin didn't even bother to look at him, and put on his cloak directly, "I'm leaving, you have a good rest, thank you for your company."

It turns out that it feels so good to be a benefactor.

The author has something to say:

It's not a secret anymore, the new male guest is a little reporter.

Anyone want to book him?

Anyone want to bet on how he died?
