Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 816 Subtle Signs
"Mr. Witt, in fact, I came here temporarily to interrupt this time because of my engagement with Miss Charlotte Witt... Sorry, I know this is a bit rude to the Witt family, but I heard..."
Mario kept typing in his heart, trying to speak more sincerely.
"Well, I heard that Maca McLean also came here today, and... also did some embarrassing behaviors?"
Although Maca on one side was attracted a lot of attention by the table full of food, he couldn't help shook his head when he heard Mallor's question.
Today the Witte family is definitely embarrassed, but that embarrassment is not caused by him alone.
And speaking of it, things like "I was too overshadowed by Haierbo" made him feel a little bit angry.
As for Mario's mention of the marriage contract with Charlotte...
"The Augustine family... is this going to formally unite with the Werther family against me?" Maca looked back and forth on Mallor's face, and then secretly began to care about it.
Of course, it is impossible for Mallor to perceive the existence of Maca, not to mention that his words and deeds are in the eyes of Maca, the "imaginary enemy".
Compared with Maca's noncommittal thinking, the eyes of the old Patriarch Werther were obviously sharper.
I saw him gently tapping the desktop with his knuckles, and said solemnly:
"Child, are you worried that our Werther family will compromise because of McLean's brutal behavior and eventually give up asking for Charlotte from Hogwarts?"
"Oh, no--" Mallor hurriedly said, "How come! I just want to confirm whether my fiancee can still marry our Augustine family as promised... In fact, if there is a need, I... …"
Halfway through the conversation, he seemed to hesitate a little, and subconsciously tilted his head slightly to one side.From the perspective of Witt’s old Patriarch, he might think that Mallor was mulling words, but Maca noticed the slight wandering in his eyes.
"Um..." Mallor continued, "I mean, Miss Charlotte Witt is my fiancée after all... If possible, our Augustine family is willing to take action to'take her back.'"
What he said was quite straightforward, and because of his little gesture, Maca had a little more guesswork about Miriam in the crowd.
"Is that what the woman asked him to say?" Maca's eyes glanced at the wall not far away, without much expression on his face.
As far as the fact is concerned, Miriam really didn't say this to the point.
It's just that Mario is not a stupid person. Although he is a little uncomfortable, he quickly understood what to do.
For example, when he thought that he would have to hold the whole family in his own hands little by little, he quickly understood that he first needed to have enough "independent opinions."
If he still followed the elders in everything as before, even if he became the head of the family, he would only become a puppet with no blood and surname.
Therefore, he took the initiative to propose to Witt’s old Patriarch that his family should also act. This was actually only the first decision made to break away from the “family arrangement”.
"Oh?"
With regard to Mallor's words, a trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of Old Witt.
He has never seen this heir to the Augustine family before!But like today, he still dared to make decisions for the family without the presence of the family elders. He has never seen such a Mallor.
"If the Augustine family is also willing to take action, that would be great. But...Mario, I don't know if what you said represents the will of your entire Augustine family?"
This is the first time that Old Witt called Mario by name tonight, instead of continuing to call him "child".
It can be seen that as long as Mallor can make an affirmative response next, he will formally be hooked with the Augustin family in the heart of the old Werther.
But to be honest, at this moment, even though Mario looks normal on the surface, his heart is quite shaken.And this vacillation forced him to glance at Miriam again.
"Of course," Mallor said loudly, "I am the sole heir of the Augustine family, and what I say naturally represents the entire Augustine family."
When uttering this "big talk", Mallor's heart was suspended.He didn't know why he was so bold, and he would directly speak out a decision that was the opposite of the family meeting in front of the old Patriarch of the Witt family.
But now, I can only count on Miriam to be able to speak up and help him deal with the elders in the family.
"... Especially Herbert!"
For Mario, that uncle, the housekeeper who is always upset with him, will always be a great moat that must be crossed.
"Well, that's the case. After dinner, we can talk about this in detail." The old patron nodded with a smile, "Then, let's eat first! After we talk, they should all be cooled..."
If he had to say anything, Old Witt only believed most of what Mallor said.But regardless of whether the decision that Mallor said is true or not, what the Witt family has to do now will not change.
Since the moment Helbo stood "behind" him, his Werther family has not had much choice.
"This dragon meat pie tastes very good. It is made in Romania. Come on, Mallor, try it too..."
...
After that, the dinner was quite enjoyable.Of course, a guy like Maca who can only look at him is not so beautiful.
After the meal, Mario and Old Witt really talked about "how to recapture Charlotte".And in the course of the conversation that could not be said to be a coincidence, he slowly shifted the content of the discussion to "How to deal with McLean".
Maca, the client, sat on the side of the table, rolling his eyes while listening, and occasionally pouring a mouthful of Immortal's Medicine into his mouth.
After pondering some of the words of the old Wit Patriarch in his heart, Maca also immediately came to a conclusion-Helbo wanted to use the Wit family's hand to hold him back.
"Two possibilities -" he silently broke his hands and said, "One, Haierbo is preparing for the demon summoning technique; second, Haierbo hasn't gotten the summoning part of "Abatel" at all. "
Regardless of the possibility, it means that Helbo needs time.
"His time is my time."
Maca was thinking, but saw that this conversation with Mallor had finally come to an end.After Witt’s old Patriarch’s kindness to stay, Mallor also made a corresponding decline, because he caught Miriam begging him to leave at a glance.
Upon seeing this, Maca temporarily put Helbo's affairs down for a while, and his gaze also fell on Miriam not far away.
"Let’s start here first! If you don’t figure out Eun Ravenclaw’s true intentions, if you get cheated at a critical time, the consequences will be disastrous."
Without hesitating too much, when Mallor took Miriam out, he also quietly followed behind.
All the way through the main hall and vestibule of the Witt family, without the many lights in the mansion, the surrounding environment suddenly seemed much dim.
The man and the woman were more cautious, and neither of them spoke on the way they had just left Witt's house.After waiting for them to turn a few streets and enter the alley, Mallor couldn't help but speak.
"Miss Miriam, when I return to the family...what should I do?"
There is no doubt that this is what he cares most about now.Seriously, if he gets off the hook, then his fun will be great!
"Oh! I must be crazy tonight!"
But Miriam, who quietly followed him behind, smiled and shook her head.
"No, you are not crazy..." She stretched out her hand to hold Mallor's shoulders and stared into his eyes seriously, "Not only that, you are doing very well! At least better than I expected... If you can still maintain the calm and calmness of facing Patriarch Witt in the future, everything will be fine!"
"But," Ma Lie took a deep breath, held back for a long time before saying a little helplessly, "You may not know, I am just holding on..."
Miriam seemed to lack self-confidence, and immediately reached out and patted his arm.
"Perhaps you feel that you are not satisfied enough, but I hope you can understand-like this so-called'struggle' is not something ordinary people can do! I said, you have to have a little confidence in yourself!"
When he heard the words, Ma Lie couldn't help smiling.
"The dinner just now made me understand what I need to be the head of a family... and this is probably just a little bit of it."
As he was talking, he suddenly sighed:
"Can I really do it, hold the entire Augustine family in my hands?"
"...That's it."
A voice suddenly sounded in this unpopulated dark alley, and both Mario and Milian were taken aback.
"who!"
The well-trained Miriam reacted quickly, and she immediately drew out her wand, and did not hesitate to cast a silent spell in the direction of the sound.
Immediately afterwards, the person hiding near her revealed his figure-although it was not in the position she had judged.
"Hello," Maca looked at the two of them left and right, expressionlessly, "Can I say...'we meet again'?"
"Maca McLean!"
When Millian saw him, she frowned.
"Didn’t the boss talk to you before leaving? We do things here without interfering with each other—"
"Humph," Maca chuckled and interrupted. "Your'boss' said it, but I didn't agree... Besides, it's okay if you want me not to interfere, but have you done it yourself? ?"
