"Miss Miriam, you can pick a seat where no one is there."

Simon Augustine, the head of the house, always spoke casually, giving the impression of not paying much attention. But none of the family members on either side of this long table will look down on him.

After all, how could it be simple to be able to sit firmly in the position of the head of the family, so that his ambitious eldest brother could never take the last step?

"Oh, thank you."

After a brief thank-you, Miriam walked to an empty seat with her own unique steps, and pulled out the delicately carved back chair and sat down.

I don't know if she did it on purpose, in short, it happened to be Marius who was sitting next to her.

"You're welcome, Miss Miriam...... You are a guest of our Augustinians! Simon waved his hand, "And, if I have to, I'm worried that inviting you in will disturb your rest!" ”

"The head of the house is serious," Miriam said with a calm smile, "I understand that the master must have asked me to ask me about Hogwarts before when he called me in......."

As she spoke, Miriam's gaze wandered slightly, with a hint of indescribable meaning.

"Ah, that's true," Simon nodded, "and I don't think it's easy to answer when Herbert asked me how to deal with it...... Miss Miriam, you went with Marius this morning, and I believe you will see more fully than those of us who sit dry. ”

At this point, Simon paused slightly.

"So, I'd like to ask you what you think of what happened?"

Herbert asked Simon this question just now, and to put it bluntly, no one can answer. That McLean is currently in the limelight, and according to the available information, the current Augustine family may not be able to help him.

However, this kind of frustrating words are not something that anyone can say, at least Simon, the head of the family, must not take the lead in opening this mouth.

Obviously, Herbert had ulterior motives when he asked this question.

But if it was Miriam, it wouldn't matter if she raised Maca a little.

First, she was not a member of the Augustinian family; As for the second ...... But don't forget, she was also one of the leaders of this transaction!

However, Simon soon realized that he had probably asked the wrong person.

"If I'm going to say, that Macka McKellen may be great, but it's just one person. Well, I don't think it's any ...... even if he drags the whole of Hogwarts into the water As he said at the time, Hogwarts was just a school! ”

Halfway through speaking, Miriam winked her big eyes and gave everyone present a perfect smile.

"How could an ancient wizard inheritor like your family be stopped by a young wizard who was less than twenty years old?"

What does it mean to not get off the stage? That's it.

Miriam's words almost lifted the Augustine family to the sky. But the point is, this woman obviously knows that the Augustine family is not in a good situation, oh...... Maybe she's just guessing something?

Although Simon always felt that he was being cheated, he even suspected that this woman had some agreement with her brother. But in any case, this family meeting must continue to be held at the moment.

"That's right, for us Augustinians, McLean is just a slightly bigger stumbling block......"

As he spoke, he casually caught a glimpse of his son Marius out of the corner of his eye, and then suddenly had an idea.

“…… What's more," Simon's tone suddenly relaxed again, "this engagement isn't just about our family, is it?" ”

Yes, there's also a Werther family in front of you!

When he said "isn't it", Simon's eyes just fell on his eldest brother Herbert, and his intention to get the other party to take over the conversation could not be more obvious.

Seeing this, Herbert nodded without a smile, but soon staggered his eyes and turned straight to Simon's son Marius.

"In that case, Mario, you should go to the Werther family in the afternoon!"

It's not a good idea to go to Werther's house now. Herbert's hand, apparently after the pit Simon failed, simply changed the target to his son.

But this is exactly the idea that Simon came up with under his pretext, and it was only natural that Mario, as Charlotte's fiancé, would personally go to the Witte family to ask about the situation or something.

Rather, who else can be allowed to go to this juncture except Marius?

"Well......" Simon glanced at his son again, and finally agreed, "That's right, Marius, you should go there in the afternoon to see what is going on!" ”

He is the future son-in-law of the Werther family and the legitimate heir of the Augustinian family. As long as the weakness of the Augustinian family is not known to the other party, it stands to reason that Marius will not be embarrassed by this trip to the Werther family.

Marius has a headache here! Hearing that his own Lao Tzu agreed, he had to pull the corners of his mouth to show a humble smile that a junior should have.

"Okay, father, uncle, I'll go after lunch."

……

For Marius, the family meeting that preceded the afternoon was difficult. Especially after deciding on his afternoon itinerary, the conversation about Macklee McLean was basically over.

Or rather, no one wants to mention it.

Those present at the time were all members of the Augustinian family's management, though no one but a few knew everything about the family. But when it comes to the current bad operation of the family, I'm afraid that I can talk about any one for a long time.

Under this premise, whoever wants to discuss how to deal with maca is to open which pot is not to mention which pot. This kind of unpleasant thing is something that everyone is willing to do.

So, after that, it was completely nonsense time, and the members were talking about each other, and there was no truth about it like the usual family meetings.

Seriously, if the daily vibe in the family had been more positive, Marius wouldn't be the bird he is now.

thought that he might inherit such a shabby family in the future......

"Ahh

Marius sat in his room, alone with his lunch, but he had to stop for a moment to refresh himself after a bite.

"Tuk-tuk."

Suddenly, two light knocks interrupted Marius's sigh. He was stunned for a moment, then put down the silver spoon in his hand, got up and walked to the door.

There must not be many people who will come to his room at this time, and the most likely one is probably his father who is more or less cheating on his son.

Marius stretched out his hand to open the door, and was about to open his mouth to say something, but it was not his father who was standing outside.

"Miss Miriam?"

By lunchtime, the woman had already changed her outfit. The close-fitting cut and intricate and delicate lace outline her figure just right, compared to the previous enchantment, she is obviously more solemn and luxurious at this moment.

"Young Master Augustine, won't you invite me in and sit down?"

After being reminded by the other party, Ma Luo nodded suddenly, and then invited sideways:

"Please forgive me for my negligence, after all, people tend to become a little forgetful when they see beautiful things."

Girls tend to like to be complimented by the opposite sex, and Miriam certainly does the same. But she is not an ordinary woman, and she only slightly hooks the corners of her mouth when she compliments Marlius who has become a natural habit.

Hearing the sound of the door closing behind him, Miriam, who was walking into the house and looking at the furnishings around, turned around and looked at Marian with an inquiring look on his face and said:

"Sorry, it seems to have disturbed your meal......"

"Oh no, it's okay." Marlo smiled and said, "Actually, I don't have much appetite in the first place, so please Miss Miriam don't care." ”

"Really?" Miriam suddenly pretended to regret and said, "Seeing that you haven't touched these meals much, I thought I could just invite you out for lunch!" ”

"Lunch?"

Marius was puzzled for a while, not knowing what this woman had in mind.

"Yes," said Mirien, "not just lunch, but a little while we can pick a place to have afternoon tea and enjoy the peace of mind after an afternoon......

"Uh-"

Seeing that the other party wanted to continue, Marius hurriedly interrupted:

"Miss Miriam, while I look forward to dining and sipping tea with a beautiful woman like you, it's just ...... I have to go to the Werther family in the afternoon, but I'm afraid I won't be able to ......."

But when Miriam heard this, she immediately chuckled.

"Master Augustine, I can tell that you don't want to go to the Werther family. But also, at such a time, who wants to go there to find themselves unhappy? ”

Marliu was immediately stunned - did he appear so obvious?

But before he could say anything, Miriam went on to herself.

“…… In fact, my companion is currently a guest at the Werther family, and when he comes back from there in the evening, I can ask him to tell you a little bit about the Werther family's reaction. And you just need to talk to me over tea and wait quietly. ”

"This ......"

Marius didn't know what to say.

"Don't worry!"

Miriam stared into his eyes and said in a seductive tone:

"Neither your father nor your uncle can go to the Werther family to ask you if you have been, and...... Don't you want to feel what it's like to break free? ”

If it weren't for Marius still feeling conscious, he would probably think that this woman was using the Imperius Curse! No, could it be that she has Meiwa's blood flowing in her body? Or, is she just a baby?

"It will be the honor of my life to have lunch with you."

Marius could no longer imagine his refusal.
