57 You win, Isabella

In Mellen's narrative, he portrays himself as an innocent, innocent boy who refuses when he first hears Arthur tell him to seduce his fiancée.

After that, they didn't make any "stepfather plan", but because Arthur later heard that Melen had received Kevin's invitation to go to the Ernest family dinner, so he ran over and asked to take him in.

Then, naturally, Arthur "accidentally" met Jim's mother at the banquet, and was accosted by his mother, and even invited Arthur to meet "her" son soon after.

The whole storyline is crumpled and reassembled, highlighting a coincidence and accident, which sounds quite like that.

Mrs. Chelsea did not suspect that Mellen was making up stories to glorify herself.

In other words, the biggest cover for this matter is not Mellen's beautification of his own rhetoric, but the abnormality of Jim's "mother"-

This directly occupied most of her mind.

Mellen didn't say a lot of his speculation, just the facts that had happened.

But at the time, Jim's real mother was actually at Mrs. Chelsea's place, gossiping with her about gossip trivia.

So Mrs. Chelsea certainly couldn't have imagined that that Jim's mother was not a mother, but a father.

But that's where the most unusual part lies!

Jim's dad is indeed a weirdo who likes to wear women's clothes, likes to dress himself, likes to hang out at banquets disguised as his wife, and maybe even likes men.

But he knew that his habit was not accepted by ordinary people, so he couldn't say that he was hidden, but he didn't reveal any rumors.

At the very least, with the exception of those who are close to the other wife, such as Mrs. Chelsea, and a limited number in Graham City, most outsiders are unaware that Daddy Jim has such quirks.

After all, he was a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Magic, and he had to consider his political prospects, even if he didn't care about his own reputation and his family's reputation.

At the same time, although Jim's father is not very responsible for the family, he will not take the initiative to hurt his family.

In a sense, he is actually a good husband.

Otherwise, his friend Susan, who was divorced from him, would not have been connected to him living in a manor after the divorce.

But now, as if he was enchanted, for the so-called "stimulation", he began to unscrupulously want to trample on the "dignity" of his son, wife, and even the entire family?

Do you have no regard for your reputation and future?

If you just do this, people will always change, and although it is unexpected to become more and more perverted, it is not incomprehensible.

The problem is, what happened tonight, Qiaqia is right in Ernest Manor, and even right under the nose of Daddy Jim!

If he behaves as he used to, this can be explained by his negligence and being attracted by the "beauty" at the banquet.

But now, he's one of the anomalies himself......

"In the last two years, has your husband shown anything different from before?"

With a serious expression, Mrs. Chelsea used the Book of Secret Languages to contact her friend.

"He's gone mad!"

It didn't take long for the other party to reply, and the "tone" was angry, as if he had just experienced something unacceptable.

"It's hard to believe, fuck, that disgusting guy would want to find Jim a stepmother!"

"The target is still that guy named Arthur, male, my son's enemy, to be his stepmother!"

"I was stupid!!"

"Jim was even stunned, and woke up like crazy to kill that Arthur, and I just stopped him, but it's definitely not over!"

"I don't understand, really...... Could it be that the separation of his wife is really what he wants? ”

……

"The murmur of the devil can arouse the deepest desires hidden in a man's heart, and let them eat away at his normal mind."

Apparently a little desperate, Mrs. Chelsea slowly wrote on the page: "Eventually, the victim will be completely consumed by lust, acting in a radical way, and reckless for the sake of the end." ”

“…… You mean?! ”

"Steady him first, and I'll go over."

Without waiting for a reply, Mrs. Chelsea stood up and hurried out of the dungeon.

And when she arrives at the Ernest family in the carriage, she finds that the target is not only secured, but even controlled.

"What is it that is deceived by the devil? Amusing! It's just an excuse for you goddamn ugly bastard! I've divorced you, and you're not qualified to come—"

In the ornate living room of the manor, a middle-aged beautiful man with long brown and black ponytail hair, a well-fitting shirt and black trousers has been changed on, is tightly tied to a chair.

His face was full of annoyance, and his mouth was saying some unclean words.

However, before he could finish speaking, the short-haired sturdy woman standing in front of him slammed his punch into the eye socket, and the angry accusation turned into a terrible scream.

"We're done! Susan Corion, it's completely over! When I am free again, you ugly woman who is boring and violent will not want to live in my house any longer! ”

"And you, my idiot son! You're an adult, what qualifications do you have to take care of your dad's business? Wipe your own ass clean first—"

The sharp invective came to an abrupt end, and as the woman named Susan raised her hand and snapped her fingers, Daddy Jim's mouth suddenly couldn't open anymore.

So he couldn't do anything but widen his eyes in anger and writhe his body desperately.

"Are you sure, Isabella?"

The ordinary-looking woman then hurried up to Mrs. Chelsea with a nervous expression.

Jim, who had been standing stupidly not far away, also came over and saluted Madame, looking very polite.

But from the pale face and frightened eyes, you could see how panicked he was when he learned that his father had been bewitched by the devil.

is also completely gone, and the enemy Arthur is about to become a stepmother's anger.

This is normal, because the so-called devil has long since disappeared with the end of the church age.

In other words, since the tide of demons that have spread all over the world has faded, it is no longer possible for such high-ranking beings as devils to appear in front of the world.

Extinction, and even eternal sleep, is their current destination.

But now, the terrifying monster in the "legend" that should have been swallowed up by the long river of history is now involved in his father.

They who live next to their father are still unaware of this......

This level of fright, if you want to be compared, is probably like an ordinary worldly person having a family that is not happy but peaceful.

As a result, one day, he suddenly discovered that all members of his family were ghosts except himself......

"By the way, I still remember something."

Mrs. Chelsea did not respond to the mother and son beside her, but only looked at the target, but the woman named Susan suddenly said:

In the past two years, he inexplicably began to like White Rose. I mean, he's never bothered to bother with these flowers and plants before, wouldn't that be ......?"

White Rose?

Mrs. Chelsea was stunned at this, then suddenly thought of something, and quickly strode over to Daddy Jim, who was tied to the chair, and ripped off his shirt on his chest.

A strangely shaped silver necklace came into her sight.

The necklace has a simple shape, and at first glance, it looks like a silver ring with intricate raised patterns on the surface.

But if you look closely, you can see that this ring is actually shaped like a snake biting its tail.

Seeing this, Madame trembled, and her face turned out to be a little dazed.

"What is this?" Susan asked hurriedly.

"Nothing!"

Her voice responded to her friend Susan's words with a slight urgency, and Mrs. Chelsea ripped off the necklace.

"It should be the medium used for demagoguery, I'll take it first, if it's a valuable, you can ask me afterwards."

"No, you'd better throw it away, I don't want to see it again."

Susan hurriedly replied, and then asked with some hesitation, "But this matter ...... And that's the end of it? ”

If the crisis was solved by just pulling a necklace off, then this crisis seems too simple?

However, Mrs. Chelsea did not respond to her words, and her demeanor regained her composure, but her steps did not slow down, but hurried out of the meeting room—

She was clearly distracted by something and didn't even hear her friend's words.

As a last resort, the woman named Susan could only look back at her ex-husband who was tied to a chair.

The other party was no longer struggling at this time, but his expression was in a trance, and his pupils were even dilating.

Obviously, the departure of the necklace gave him some kind of shock.

However, under the nervous gaze of the mother and son, his demeanor did not deteriorate, but slowly returned to normal.

However, just when his expression became calmer and his eyes faded for the most part, he looked at the "ex-wife" in front of him and suddenly burst out with a sentence.

"It's okay, even if we don't see those glowing seaweeds this time, we can come back next time."

"What are you talking about?" Susan was surprised.

The voice did not match the image in his mind at all, and Daddy Jim was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly came to his senses.

"Huh? Oh...... It's nothing! ”

He replied with a slight flusteredness, then looked down at himself in mock confusion.

"What's wrong with me? How to be tied to a chair? ”

"It's a little tight, let me go!"

He looked normal, the mother and son looked at each other, the worries in their hearts dissipated, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

……

On the other side, Mrs. Chelsea, who walked out of the living room, had a serious expression.

Looking down at the necklace in her hand for a long time, she suddenly asked, "Who are you?" ”

The cold wind howled in the night, and her voice did not get a response.

However, just as Mrs. Chelsea's expression was sharpened and her hands were about to move, a hoarse voice slightly similar to her voice suddenly sounded.

"You win, Isabella."

The voice said sarcastically, "But you can only win because you are lucky." ”

"You're lucky enough to meet the little guy named Mellen, and you're lucky enough to take him as your apprentice."
