Hogwarts executioner

The phone rang. William got up and went to Catherine's bedroom on the second floor. He picked up the mobile phone and said, "I am William Smith. Who are you?"

Aunt Serena's voice came from inside: "William, I'm your aunt Serena. I called Catherine several times in the morning, but no one answered? William, are you okay?"

"It's okay, Auntie, Merry Christmas." William said.

"Thank you, and Merry Christmas to you too." Serena congratulated.

"William, come to my house to play when you are free. Your uncle is going to be transferred, and we are going to hold a banquet to celebrate. You haven't been here for several months. Annie, Grace, and Nicole all miss you."

Serena complained: "I don't understand what's so fun about that shabby ranch. You and your sister have been there for eleven years, why don't you move to the city."

"Auntie, can Annie and the others call me?" William interrupted.

"Of course, remember to come with your mother when you are free." Serena reminded.

"Okay." William said.

"Merry Christmas, William," Anne shouted.

"Did you receive the doll I sent?" William smiled.

······

After talking on the phone with the three cousins, Angus, the uncle who seldom had contact with him, actually said a few words to William. It seems that their family had a good time this year.

Could it be that Angus escaped from the clutches of the female Prime Minister and was successfully promoted? .

There is no harm without comparison. William, who had a miserable Christmas in his family, is tired of his fake smile, and the mud Buddha is also angry.

When Catherine came up with red and swollen eyes, William, who was sitting on the first floor and had nowhere to get angry, finally couldn't hold back, and said, "Mom, those bastards are going to make trouble again?"

"I'm fine, William, they promise not to force me anymore, and we will make our own decisions in the future." Catherine looked at William and explained: "Your great-grandfather has been hospitalized, and the doctor said that there is still about half a year. I want to take you to see it."

"Okay." William nodded.

An old man who was about to die did not forget to interfere with his granddaughter's marriage before he died, which made William feel very outrageous.

Is this love, or hate?

When he met his grandpa and grandma for the first time, William's expression was dull, and he just saluted respectfully and politely. The two old people could see the alienation in their grandson's eyes, and they didn't say much, but their eyes showed regret.

After arriving at the hospital and seeing the old man smiling at her while lying on the hospital bed, Catherine's emotions exploded. In addition to crying, she also felt grievances and resentment.

The old man waved at William. William was unmoved, and the old man didn't care. He said, "I always thought that I would give you the best, including marriage. It's a pity that you refused. Before going to hell, I don't want you to stay in that place." Country, so you have to come back."

"Ordinary is not necessarily a bad thing." William said: "For some people, what you give is extremely precious, but for us, we will earn what we want ourselves, why do we need your gift?"

When he said the last sentence, William couldn't help but mock a little.

There are indeed countless people in England who long for the friendship and help of the old Duke, but these do not include William and his son.

The old man chuckled and said, "You are right, but Catherine is born extraordinary. She enjoys the power of the family and should fulfill her obligations."

William was silent, and it didn't make much sense to discuss this with this old man who had only half a year left to live.

The old man rested for a while, and continued: "I have arranged the stage for you, go up."

Catherine shook her head, wiped away her tears, and said, "Grandpa, thank you, but I don't need it anymore. I have my own stage, and I don't need others to build it."

"You are still so stubborn." The old man said angrily.

The doctor glanced at the old man and interjected, "Mr. Cavendish, please don't get too emotional."

The old man said: "I'm so tired. I'm not even allowed to say a few words. Parry, you are more stubborn than Her Majesty the Queen."

The doctor ignored the patient's teasing and took everyone else out.

Catherine said to her parents: "I will not come to the hospital again, Dad, Mom, I am going back, please take care."

The two old men sighed, knowing that Catherine was still upset and even resentful. The old man, who was nominally William's grandfather, said guiltily: "I'm sorry, Catherine, and William."

Catherine said: "Dad, it has nothing to do with you, it's my own choice."

William remained silent throughout the whole process. Although the two old men tried to ease the relationship, he had no intention of reconciliation. He followed Catherine out of the hospital and took a taxi back to the apartment.

When he opened the door, he saw Lily and a man sitting in the hall, chatting with a few girls.

William was puzzled: "Lily, what are you doing here?"

Lily happily kissed the side of William's face and then said: "Grandma said you moved here this morning and asked me to introduce Louis to your mother. He is one of the partners of Linklaters. If you have any trouble in the future, You can ask him for help."

Louis quickly got up from his seat and smiled flatteringly at William: "Master, I am Louis Wood. I am Madam's most loyal subordinate. As long as you ask me, I will do my best to serve you."

William glanced at Lily, saw that she was smiling but said nothing, so he could only say, "Thank you, Uncle Wood, this is my mother, Catherine Cavendish."

Louis said hurriedly: "I have known Miss Cavendish for more than ten years. I was honored to attend a birthday party held by Miss Cavendish at school. I don't know if Miss still remembers it. It doesn't matter if you don't remember. This is me. business card, you and the lady can call me at any time."

Louis handed the business card to William respectfully and heaved a sigh of relief after seeing him accept it.

Catherine looked at Louis in surprise, not understanding why he was so humble as a barrister, or why the people behind him valued William so much.

When Lily left with Louis, Catherine pulled William into the bedroom, took the bank check that Lily had given before leaving, and asked, "What's going on? William."

Although he knew that this was a gift specially given by Tina to comfort him, just for future transactions, William was still very satisfied and said: "Someone is greedy for your son's body and invested heavily in advance, just to wait for your son to come and borrow the seed when he grows up." .”

Catherine said angrily: "That's nonsense, you're only eleven years old."

William put the check in Catherine's hand and said, "Don't worry, the other party does not have any ill intentions. The money and property are not more valuable to them than me, and I will pay back the money in other ways."

Seeing that William was unwilling to say more, Catherine was a little worried, but she had to give up asking.

What were these things to Tina?
