Harry Potter's Bastard

Marriages between large families are often for profit, and the union of Solim and Elena is to ensure the interests of the Selwin and Greif families.

Selwyn got half of the shares of the stockyard through marriage, but needless to say, they definitely wanted to go further, and Greif found a strong backer and helper through marriage, so as to prevent the family from losing more profits, and if possible, they naturally wanted to get that half of the shares back.

Solim and Elena's engagement is the product of mutual compromise. Half of the shares in the Ream cattle herd are the property of Solim and Elena, and there is a lot of room for manoeuvre.

Think of Solim's classmate: Blaise. Sabini's famous mother was married seven times, and each of her husbands died without explanation, and Madame Sabini inherited the vast wealth of her seven husbands.

If Solim came of age, he and Elena were married. Then he died that night, so Elena could rightfully inherit that half of the shares, which was equivalent to the Greif family taking it back, and if they didn't think it was safe, they could arrange for someone within the family to marry Elena again - anyway, this kind of thing is not new in pure-blood families.

But on the other hand, if Elena died, Solim would have full control of that half of the shares, and if he did, he would have the equivalent of Selwyn.

These two young men are nothing more than pawns representing their respective families, and it's up to them to see who kills who first.

Of course, this is an exaggeration. Although each family wants the object of their marriage to die, they will not be in such a hurry to do it - at least they must do enough work on the scene and not leave a handle. This is especially true for the Greif family.

If this kind of thing is revealed, they will be greeted by Selwyn's wrath. But Greif is not completely without opportunities, driving tigers and devouring wolves or borrowing knives to kill people has long been rotten in ancient and modern times.

Don't forget, there are some people within the Greif family who are at odds with the Richies. To be able to kill Solim, the Rich family is very willing. As long as Solim's death was not directly related to the Greif family, regardless of whether he was hit by a car or killed by whom, Selwyn couldn't blame Greve.

"But have you thought about it? Solim said to Elena, who was speechless, "Even if I really die, how much better will your fate be?"

"Continued to be arranged by your family to marry someone with the same surname Greif? It just so happens that your family is in trouble right now, and when the time comes, take the shares back and divide them, as long as the interests are taken care of, you must be able to stabilize internally for a long time. "

"No...... They never let me do anything like this. Elena denied it in a panic, she was frightened by Solim's words just now, she never thought that her marriage to the person in front of her would hide so many intrigues.

"Of course, I believe you. Solim said mildly.

It's not that Solim is perfunctory, it's that he really doesn't think Elena knows about it—at least for now, Elena won't know about it.

After all, this kind of plan lets the parties know in advance that if they can't say it well, it will be exposed in advance. Rather than letting Elena know, it would be better to keep her in the dark, and maybe there would be a chance to confuse Selwyn. After all, in the wizarding society, and in a family like Selwyn, it is very difficult for a person to protect the secrets in his heart.

"You know this...... Didn't your grandfather tell you—" Elena was so nervous that she thought that she would be killed by the man in front of her after she got married, and she almost endured it so that she didn't run away.

"Not really. Solim shook his head, "You don't have to. I'm just talking about the worst-case scenario, and even if we get to that point, there are several preconditions that need to be completed, so in the short term, the lives of the two of us are worry-free for the time being. "

Selwyn is actually not in a hurry, as a strong side, they just need to wait, time is on their side. It's Greif who will take the risk, and once they think they're capable, or think they're ready, maybe they'll make a move. But for now, there will be chaos within the Greif family for a long time, and until then, they don't have the energy to focus on Solim.

"I can assure you that as long as you don't mess around, you're safe. Solim said, "If one day — of course, according to my mind, they probably won't tell you about it, but if there is a day when you know something, I want you to tell me — protect me, protect yourself." "

Elena had no idea of having sex with Solim at this time, and she was full of worries and trepidation about her future life. She felt that one day she might die without knowing what was going on, maybe it was a cup of poison, maybe it was a vicious curse, and she began to hate, why it was she who was married this time, and she hated the elders in the family who made this decision, and she even hated Solim.

"You don't need that—as I told you the last time I came, if you have to choose a partner to marry in Selwyn, I'm already your best bet. "

With that, Solim stood up.

"Maybe you need a certain amount of time to calm down, and I won't bother. If you need anything, you can talk to me. "

Looking at the door that had been closed again, Elena couldn't hold on any longer, and threw herself on the bed to cover her face. She was distraught now, she felt that she couldn't handle these things, that she didn't know all those intrigues, what was she going to do? She didn't even have a person to talk to.

Through her fingers, Elena saw the open window.

"Maybe I should run away. "

But this thought was quickly extinguished. Elena is a little simpler, but not a fool. What would a recent graduate take to escape from Selwyn and even the Greif family? Besides, even if she could get out of here, where would she go?

She didn't even have any money on her, although she had a wand, but as she and Solim had said, the United States and Britain were different. As long as he dared to cast spells in front of Muggles, such as taking food without paying for anything, the Wizarding Congress would find her in minutes.

Elena now only feels that her future is bleak.

Looking at the open window, a crazy thought came to me:

"Maybe it's not bad to jump now. "
