Chapter 1609 A War Without a Winner (Fifty-Nine)

However, the topic of the evening discussion was still diverted by Mr. Weasley, and was eventually dragged to the issue of preparing to power Avalon.

The conflict between magic and electricity became a hot topic.

In the end, it was Mrs. Weasley who showed her power and drove everyone back to rest, finally ending the big discussion.

Lying back on the bed, Hermione couldn't fall asleep for a long time, not because of the previous big discussion about magic and electricity, but because she was hesitating whether to reply to the sender.

After some hesitation and struggle, Hermione sat up from the bed, picked up the communication bookmark and wand she had placed on the table, and replied to the other party.

Things need to be solved after all, and it is not a solution to continue to drag it out.

Isobel sent her that letter to express her willingness to solve this problem properly.

However, what surprised Hermione was that Isobel's reply was faster than she expected.

Just as she was about to close her eyes and rest, the words on the communication bookmark changed.

Moreover, in order to prevent the communication bookmark from falling into the hands of others, Isobel replied in a code that only she could understand:

I already know about your affairs.

Don't worry, I'm not angry.

Because you are not the first, and you will not be the last.

So I don't mind your existence.

However, since you have accepted that identity, you need to bear the corresponding responsibilities.

There is no good thing in this world that only benefits but does not require payment. And the price you need to pay for it is not something unacceptable to you.

"What price?" Hermione asked.

"Your loyalty."

The words on the communication bookmark made Hermione stunned.

"Loyalty?"

Hermione used the faint light of the wand tip to look at the latest words on the communication bookmark and murmured, "My loyalty?"

Of course, she could understand what loyalty meant here, and why Isobel said that this was not a price she could not accept.

It's just...

It's a bit unexpected.

"Is it the loyalty I thought?"

Hermione used her wand again to modify the text on the communication bookmark.

"Yes, your loyalty."

The text was smoothly drawn on the communication bookmark again, "You need to sign a magic contract to ensure your loyalty, and this is the price you need to pay."

"Are you willing to pay for it?"

"Is this the price?" Hermione murmured.

Honestly, Hermione never considered leaving Albert.

She loves Albert.

There is no doubt about that.

But Hermione couldn't understand why this became the price Isobel called it.

This made her very curious.

"What if I don't want to?" Hermione asked back.

"It will be regarded as giving up."

The reply on the communication bookmark was delayed for a moment, perhaps the person on the other side seemed surprised to receive such a question.

"If you really don't want to accept it, then I suggest you give up as soon as possible and treat it as a dream."

"This is not a test. No one needs the so-called test. You should know it yourself."

"Is this your decision?"

Hermione was silent.

"I am willing, but what can I get?"

"If you are willing to accept your new identity, what you get will be far greater than what you pay."

"How to sign the contract?"

Hermione seemed to see a woman with a slightly raised mouth.

If she was Isobel, she would definitely not want other women to compete with her for men, which was almost something she could not tolerate.

So, she was actually very curious about what made Isobel so generous.

"When the time comes, we need to meet, preferably before the store opens."

"Why before the store opens?"

Hermione seemed to have thought of something, and her idea was soon confirmed.

"Because you are not the last one."

"I suggest you come and see it on the day the store opens."

"To be honest, you don't have much advantage. "

That night, Hermione couldn't sleep.

The next morning, Hermione didn't stay in Avalon for long, and went to the cafe where they had agreed to meet last night.

Katrina was there too, and the two sisters were whispering something. Their temperament was very elegant and quiet, which put a lot of pressure on Hermione.

Hermione never thought she was ugly, but now she regretted not dressing up before the appointment, and was completely outdone.

She cried in her heart!

"This should be our first formal meeting." Isobel greeted her with a smile.

"I had the honor of attending your wedding with Albert." Hermione nodded stiffly, "This should be the first time we have met formally."

"I'm glad you're here." Katrina said with a smile, "Would you like a cup of coffee? The cappuccino here is pretty good."

"Are we going to talk here?" Hermione asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Of course not, we have to go to another place later. Girls' private topics are not suitable for discussion in public." Isobel smiled and comforted, "We just think you may need a cup of coffee or black tea to relax."

"You are too nervous."

"Oh, thank you."

Hermione ordered a cup of coffee for herself and took a few sips to calm her mind.

If it were usual, Hermione would not be so nervous, but Isobel put too much pressure on her.

It's not entirely because of facing the main person, but when facing Isobel, her aura was severely suppressed, and there was an illusion that she was completely seen through. Even using the brain blocking spell could not eliminate that uncomfortable feeling.

"I'm not angry."

Isobel calmly handed a few photos to Hermione.

"Because I guessed it was a matter of time."

"This is..."

Hermione looked at the beautiful girls in the photos and suddenly felt inexplicably inferior.

"They are..." She asked knowingly.

"Their situations are similar to yours, but they are not as lucky as you to get it in advance." Isobel was very satisfied with the expression on Hermione's face and reminded, "There are their personal introductions behind the photo."

Sure enough, he is the owner of the wizard beauty salon. She had expected this last night.

"They too?"

Hermione was indeed very shocked by the number and quality of Albert's lovers. No wonder Hermione said that she had no advantages and that she seemed to be dragging her feet.

The only thing that Hermione couldn't understand was why Isobel indulged in this matter.

"It's better to loosen it than to block it."

Isobel seemed to see through Hermione's mind and explained with a smile, "Besides, this is considered a conflict of interest."

Conflict of interest?

In other words, the global chain of wizard beauty salons is related to Albert?

That's right, only he can provide excellent and popular beauty formulas.

Maybe this is the future that Albert planned for his lover.

Just as Hermione's mind was turning rapidly, a voice suddenly rang out.

"This matter has nothing to do with Albert. At first, we just exchanged beauty tips with each other. Later, Catherine opened a shop first, and it became uncontrollable."

Hermione opened her mouth slightly!

"Excellent people are always very popular, aren't they?" Katrina said meaningfully, "Here at Albert, they can get what they want, so they have no reason to give up."

"Especially because they have advantages themselves."

Even Hermione had to admit this. The people in the photo were all first-class beauties.

"Okay, some private matters are not suitable for discussion here. Come with me." Isobel finished the coffee in the cup, paid at the counter, and smiled and waved Hermione away.
