"shut up!"

When Maca arrogantly questioned the Werther family's education and ordered them to hand over Charlotte, the middle-aged wizard who had always been suppressed seemed to have finally reached the limit of his patience.

That's right, it was the wizard who Maca threw the leftover chicken leg into his dinner plate.

"Charlotte is my daughter, I don't allow you to insult her! It's even more impossible to hand her over to you"

"Norman, it's you who should shut up..." The old patriarch suddenly said calmly, "I have warned you not to overindulge my daughter... not only let her go to Hogwarts and embarrass her surname, Last year, he also resisted the first marriage with the Augustine family, which made our whole family feel ashamed..."

"But..." Charlotte's father stood up abruptly, clenched his fists tightly, and tremblingly said, "Father...Charlotte is also your granddaughter..."

"Of course I know," the old patriarch still looked calm, he just looked at his son expressionlessly and said, "Charlotte is my granddaughter, and also a part of the family... Not only did I not blame her for being weak His magical talent even gave Charlotte such a great honor!"

"The first marriage with the Augustine family! Do you understand what this means?" The old patriarch suddenly raised his voice and questioned his useless son.

"...It means that the rift of nearly a thousand years can be erased, and the power state of the strong alliance can be restored." Charlotte's father, Norman Werther, replied weakly with his head down.

The old Patriarch snorted coldly, then turned his attention to Maca again.

"Sorry, Mr. Diehl..." He nodded apologetically, "As mentioned just now, Charlotte is now engaged to the Augustine family. Look..."

Maca understood as soon as he heard it, the old fox obviously deliberately lured out the engagement by reprimanding Charlotte's father.

As for his purpose...

One is to remind Maca that Charlotte is now engaged in a marriage contract with the Augustine family, which involves the interests of two ancient families; the other is to avoid conflicts with the Diher family, which is why it took so much trouble To explain the situation from the side.

"Huh?" Maca frowned and said, "Didn't you resist the marriage last year? Why, isn't the engagement broken? Can it be delayed until this year?"

"Yes... Charlotte's fiancé seems to care a lot about her, and he didn't give up the marriage because of her refusal." The old Patriarch replied calmly.

The situation is indeed a bit complicated, but there are also places that are beneficial to oneself.

He threw the half chicken leg on purpose before, because he recognized Charlotte's father at a glance. He had seen Charlotte's father at the dance at McMillan's house.

And now, the other party seemed to have recognized him, and he had already actively cooperated with him in acting just now, not to mention, his acting skills were no worse than Snape's!

Of course, if he continues to turn his face, although it will not be unnatural, after all, the people in the Diher family are not normal. But when the time comes, maybe it's time for a real fight...

He hasn't figured out what the magic of the Werther family is like until now! To be honest, he didn't want to do it rashly.

"Huh...huh..." Maca thought for a while, and then laughed instead, "If you give her to me, you will have trouble with the Augustine family; if you don't give her to me, you will have trouble with the Augustine family. I'm having a rough time... what are you going to do, Mr Witte?"

He smiled strangely, as if he was watching a good show, and his evil taste was fully revealed.

"Mr. Diehl, although I don't know what happened between you and Charlotte...I think what you think..." The old master smiled and said, "I asked Charlotte to come out to apologize to you and offer you A generous compensation...the matter will be written off, how about it?"

He smiled and said, "It's really not worth it to be angry for a little girl, is it?"

Maca narrowed his eyes, revealing a dangerous look.

In just a split second, the old Patriarch fixed his eyes on Maca. It can be seen that he is on guard at all times, and if Maca really makes a move, he will fight back immediately.

However, Maca just looked at him for a while, that's all.

"In that case, let her come out first! I want to see her attitude, and then decide whether I should sell your face..."

After that, Maca sat down on the chair again, tore off another chicken leg and gnawed on it. For a moment, he gnawed so much that his mouth was full of oil, which made everyone feel relieved, but at the same time became irritable again.

"...Norman, go and bring Charlotte down." The old Patriarch shook his head and motioned to Charlotte's father.

He hesitated for a moment, then nodded silently, and left the table quickly.

...

For the members of the Werther family, today's night was boring and aggrieved. They had to get up from the soft and comfortable bed to face Maca, a disgusting guy who wrote "honored guest" but pronounced it "bastard".

But for Charlotte, everything outside seems to be less important.

All she could do was sit on the edge of the bed and look at the dark "sky" outside the window.

She didn't want to sleep, because that would make the last bit of free time in her life be wasted in unknown sleep.

So she just sat like this, humble and stubborn.

She wants to use the last little time to dig a hole in her heart, put all her happy memories up to now, and then bury them deeply and thoroughly.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk"

There was a sudden knock on the door, and Charlotte raised her head reflexively, but her eyes were empty and dazed.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk"

The knock on the door didn't stop, on the contrary, it became more urgent... And amidst the successive knocks, the father's voice also rang out.

"Lottie! Lottie!"

Charlotte finally came back to her senses, she froze for a moment, then walked to the door, just about to reach out to unlock the door.

"Alahoo hole is open!"

With a soft "click", the door was pushed open by Charlotte's father from the outside. Immediately afterwards, he quickly walked into the room and quickly closed the door.

"Listen, Lottie!" her father said with a serious face, "Lottie, you must get out of here! Dad already understands... Whether you are sent to the Augustine family or given to someone else, it's the same... Dad can't let you ruin your life's happiness just for this cold-blooded family!"

As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized money bag from the pocket of his coat, and stuffed it into his daughter's hand.

"Take this... take this opportunity to leave the family! As long as you go back to Hogwarts and find a way to stay there, the family can't blatantly arrest you back..."

"But..." Charlotte clutched the purse tightly, but couldn't move her footsteps at all, "Father...you come with me, otherwise..."

"I won't go." Her father shook his head firmly, "Your mother is buried here, so I won't go anywhere else...but you have to go! Your grandpa won't do anything to me , I am his son after all..."

He said it decisively, but in fact, for his most useless son, how would all the old patriarchs who put the family interests first treat him?

This is already obvious.

"Father!" Charlotte said stubbornly, "If you don't leave, I won't leave... What happened? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"Not so much time to explain... Lottie! You have to listen to me!"

"Father!"

Norman took a deep breath, and finally explained: "You should have noticed the commotion just now. A guest came from an extraordinary family background. He specified that the family should hand you over to him..."

"Who? Why did you specify me?" Charlotte's complexion darkened, and she said with grief and indignation, "Is this face of mine to blame again?"

"Uh... no, it shouldn't be..." Norman thought for a while, "He seems to have met you at Hogwarts...his name is 'Maccadhull'...no, at Hogwarts It should be another name..."

"Maca?"

Charlotte let out a cry of surprise while her father was still debating whether to explain it all over again.

"Why? He also called this name at Hogwarts?" Norman was stunned when he heard it.

"Father, don't you remember?" Charlotte said quickly, "It's Maca McLean! You saw him at the dance at McMillan's house..."

"The dance at McMillan's house?" Norman frowned slightly, but suddenly said, "Oh! It's that boy? I remember you praised him...Huh? Could it be..."

"All in all," Charlotte said decisively, "Father, if it's Maca, then don't worry about it"

She was halfway through speaking, but stopped immediately.

If it's Maca, then what? Even if he could deceive everyone in the family with other identities, the fact that he married into the Augustine family was inevitable for the family.

On the contrary, it was because of his own affairs that he let his elementary school boy take the risk to come here. If the elementary school boy encountered any danger because of this... She might not be able to forgive herself in this life.

No, not right!

It's too late to think about it now, instead of regretting that I didn't make it clear to him here, it's better...

"Father, I'm going to see him!" Charlotte suddenly showed a firm expression, which looked very similar to his father just now.

After a brief explanation with her father, she ignored his father's obstruction and walked towards the downstairs side hall with firm eyes.

However, when Maca saw Charlotte and Norman, the father and daughter, appearing at the door of the side hall, he felt as if a thousand giant monsters were rushing past in his heart.

Such a good opportunity, why not run? When the time comes, I will take you to hide it, and no one will be able to find it!

But when Maca saw that Charlotte's father was looking at his face at this moment, showing a hint of daze, he knew...

"It turned out that it wasn't acting just now, hey!"
