[Comprehensive British and American] Extraordinary

Amanda said slowly: "I've heard that this has happened many times. Tom, what did you do to make Mrs. Cole dislike you so much? Look at you, you are good-looking, if you ignore your gloomy In terms of temperament, such a child should be favored by those couples who want to adopt a child with kindness, and Mrs. Cole has no reason not to like you."

"Do you want me to wag my tail at Mrs. Cole like those idiots? I'm not that..." Humble... Tom glared at Amanda, stubbornly refusing to bow his head.

"Survival of the fittest." Amanda said slowly, "Mrs. Cole is a small person, but she controls your destiny, Tom, at least until you have the ability to leave the orphanage. Let's not talk so far, Take it now, she can decide whether you will be hungry at night."

Tom's stomach made a "cuckoo" sound at the right time.

Tom was terribly embarrassed, but Amanda didn't seem to hear his stomach growling, and she didn't seem to hand Tom the bag she had brought.

Tom, who was originally rebellious because of her admonition, calmed down strangely, "Why are you doing this with me?"

"Huh?" Amanda glanced at Tom, "I just don't want someone who is not qualified to kill me. I'm leaving here tomorrow, and I hope you won't be so bad when we meet again."

After finishing speaking, Amanda walked out regardless of Tom's reaction.This time, she did not shy away from using illusion in front of Tom, transformed into the appearance of Mrs. Cole, and left in a big way.

Tom, to his dismay, found that he simply couldn't do that.

His stomach protested again, and Tom puffed his cheeks to himself.After a while, his eyes could not help but flick to the paper bag that Amanda put on the table, it gave off a tempting aroma.

Tom turned his head away.

At last he couldn't resist, gave in to the cruel reality, and grabbed the paper bag, which contained a dry bread and a boiled potato, which was about the same as Tom's usual dinner.

He eagerly grabbed the bread and stuffed it into his mouth. After eating a few mouthfuls, he bit his lip, sat on the chair, recalled Amanda's posture when eating, and soon he also looked good.

When Nagini came back dejectedly, Tom had already "destroyed his body and wiped out his traces".

[Tom, are you still hungry?How about you drink more water. ]

Tom growled: [I'm going to sleep. ] He didn't want to tell Nagini that Amanda brought him food!

Nagini said very understandingly: [Yes, you will not feel hungry when you fall asleep, Tom, you are so smart. ]

Tom: […]

Amanda wasn't exaggerating when she said she left the orphanage the next day.

The next morning, a brand new black car drove into the orphanage.

Drivers and housekeepers are all available, and the last one to walk down is a gentleman in a three-piece suit.

Now everyone knows that Amanda's father has come to pick her up.

"Madam, thank you very much for taking in my daughter. She told me that you took good care of her. Thank you again."

Mrs. Cole smiled, especially after hearing that the other party decided to fund the orphanage.

Amanda was sitting in the back seat of the car, and her eyes fell on Mrs. Cole who was smiling from ear to ear. Please rest assured, she will definitely send a strong lawyer to supervise.

Tom didn't rush to watch like other children in the orphanage, or hoped to be adopted by the big shots. He sat by the window and watched the black car drive in, and then drove away quickly.

"She'll regret it!" He's not that bad!

Meet again, happened a month later.

Amanda's father passed away.

Mrs. Cole had to worry about the Hill family's sponsorship for the orphanage, so she decided to take a few children from the orphanage to check on the situation.

By the time Mrs. Cole arrived at Hill's house with a few children from the orphanage, the funeral was over.

Amanda is the only direct heir of Mr. Hill, who left all of his property to her.Another couple in the study stiffened when the lawyer read Mr Hill's will, but beamed with joy when the lawyer said they would be guardians of the underage Amanda.

After realizing that something was wrong, the husband of the couple suppressed the corners of his mouth and pretended to be sad and said: "As an uncle, I will naturally take good care of my niece, and Maggie will too. We will take care of Amanda. Treat her like your own daughter."

"Conrad is absolutely right." The woman called Maggie couldn't wait to echo her husband's words.

When the housekeeper came to announce that Mrs. Cole and the others had arrived, Maggie Hill was already eager to be a hostess, "What orphanage? Why don't I know that the Hill family has any relatives in the orphanage?"

"It was an orphanage funded by Mr. when he was alive. They came to remember Mr. Mrs. Hill."

"What kind of remembrance, it's simply to ask for—"

"Maggie!" Conrad Hill interrupted his wife blurting out, "Why don't you invite them in? My brother is just too kind, haha."

The butler looked at Amanda who was sitting behind the mahogany table, and Amanda looked at lawyer Ed Green, "I remember that in my father's will, it was stated that he would continue to fund the orphanage?"

"Yes."

"Then invite them to the living room. You and Mrs. Cole have made it clear that I'm sorry." Amanda stood up from the chair, nodded to the Hill couple with distorted faces, and the housekeeper followed behind her step by step—— A shrewd housekeeper must know who is the real master.

"Amanda is spoiled by my brother, isn't she? She's still a child after all." Conrad said in a tone of familiarity.

"Children nowadays really don't know the hardships of the world. For example, funding an orphanage is a good thing, but what if the other party is greedy? It's not a good thing to keep funding. What do you think, Lawyer Green. Maggie looked at Lawyer Green with a half-smile.

"That's what our profession of lawyers is all about, ma'am." Attorney Green closed the folder. "Excuse me, both of you."

This time, Conrad and Maggie looked extremely ugly.

"He is your own brother, why didn't he leave you any inheritance?" Maggie turned around and asked Conrad.

Conrad also hated this very much: "Calm down, since we are now Amanda's guardians, what does she know as a child, in the end, the inheritance will still be ours!"

"But they still give money to the orphanage!"

"So we have to hurry." For the couple who already considered all of the Hill family's property as their own, even a small part of it was intolerable.

Little did they know that the conversation between the two of them was clearly heard by Tom standing outside the door.

And Amanda, she is standing not far away.

"It seems that you have listened to my proposal, since you are standing here." Mrs. Cole only brought a few children, and the fact that Tom is among them can explain the problem.

"Why do you keep that selfish couple? Their greedy faces are really disgusting." Tom straightened his back because of Amanda's words, and then asked inexplicably.

"Then do you think they're smart?" Amanda asked back.

"Not at all." They didn't know to close the door when they plotted. I really don't know if they were too confident or too stupid.

"It's okay," Amanda said as a matter of course, "I'm still a minor, and the law stipulates that I need a guardian before I become an adult. The two of them are greedy and selfish, but they are not so smart, so it is better Controlled. After all, I can't guarantee whether the next guardian will be so 'suitable'."

"I can't wait to see them come to please me now." Amanda raised her chin slightly, and glanced at the thoughtful Tom, "I'm glad to see you have made some progress, Tom, now you should left."

Amanda turned and disappeared down the stairs in black.

After receiving the promise from Lawyer Green and the letter with legal effect, Mrs. Cole was overjoyed, and she only lightly reprimanded Tom for sneaking out.

"Amanda called me over. I think she needs comfort." Such half-truths and half-false words came out of Tom's mouth so naturally.

"She called you? Oh, you are friends now, aren't you? Tom, I knew you were a good boy." Mrs. Cole gave Tom an appreciative glance. Tom lowered his head pretending to be shy, and his face immediately became gloomy.It's ridiculous that a month ago he was considered a nasty brat.

As if to prove Mrs. Cole's conclusion, when they left, Tom received a few more books than the other children as a gift.

"Miss gave it to this little gentleman by name." That's what the butler said, and Mrs. Cole looked at Tom more lovingly.

Tom dug his nails into the palm of his hand, which seemed to him more a handout than a gift, especially for an orphan in an orphanage like him.Did Amanda think he could read and write fluently?Do not make jokes.

But to Tom's surprise, when he opened the wrapping paper of the book carefully while hating, there was an "Oxford English Dictionary" on the top.

Tom pressed his bright red lips into a straight line.

After that, Tom never saw Amanda again until the next year, the summer of 1938, when a professor who claimed to be a magic school, Albus Dumbledore, arrived.

At this time, Tom was already the most popular child in the orphanage.Facing Dumbledore, he was polite and excited at the same time, "You mean I'm a wizard, not some kind of alien? You know, professor, when I found out that I can make things float, I was really scared because I was different from other people."

"Don't worry, Tom. Hogwarts is a school of magic. We not only teach you to use magic, but also teach you to control magic. There are many children like you there." Dumbledore has seen many Muggle wizards , most of them will have such worries.

"That's very nice, Professor," said Tom, laughing.
