For the next few days, it was just as predicted. In all kinds of newspapers, they began to wantonly claim that the Umbrella Corporation was a monopoly, and that they didn't care about the economic safety of the wizard world to seize a large amount of wealth. They hired sharp-tongued reporters to criticize the Umbrella Corporation. They also hinted that the reason why the Umbrella Corporation could be so powerful was because the Ministry of Magic controlled by Harris had given them the green light, causing unfair competition.
Meanwhile, in the Harris Manor.
"I strongly urge Family Harris to maintain a fair competition... The Umbrella Corporation's monopolistic behavior is destroying the market. The Ministry of Magic should intervene, and Family Harris should take social responsibility for this... Considering the long-term development of the wizarding world, the Umbrella Corporation should be sanctioned..." Morgan-le-feil sat at the dining table and read out a few paragraphs. She looked worried because of the accusations.
"A bunch of clowns. They won't be happy for long. They're not afraid of the Ministry of Magic's revenge. If the Ministry of Magic attacks the media or their businesses at this time, it will confirm their suspicions..." Josephine Harris put down the teacup in her hand. She did not seem to be affected. She patted the back of her sister-in-law's hand with her cold hand. "Don't worry, Morgan-le-feil. Let them speculate more."
Near the door, the girls who were not too interested in politics gathered together.
Daisy pointed at her eyelashes with her wand and cast a spell to make them look longer. She looked at Tonks behind her in the mirror and asked, "So, little beauty, which one of the three wedding dresses did you choose in the end? I think the strapless one is sexier. The V-neck one will make your neck look longer... The one Helena chose is a little... a little too retro... Actually, I think the two of you are not short of money. Why don't you have one custom-made? "
"I like the V-neck one." Emily sat on the side and ate her snacks. She preferred to eat in a place other than her room to avoid dirtying her bed, even though the house fairies were very responsible and would clean it up quickly.
"You know, Daisy. We want to save money for the wedding and buy our own house... But sorry, Emily, Daisy... I didn't choose any of the three..." Tonks was slightly stunned. She shook her bright pink short hair awkwardly and hesitantly took out another photo. "I went shopping and thought I would choose this one... Sorry, Daisy, I made my own decision. I think this one suits me better..."
"I think your plan to buy a house should be delayed, because Ai..." Daisy realized that it was best not to announce her brother's plan in advance, so she changed her words. "Uh, I mean, the wedding is only one time, and it's more important than anything else."
"It's okay, Daisy. In fact, if it weren't for your request, Lupin and I would have found a small pub to celebrate by ourselves." After Daisy finished speaking, Emily, who was looking at the photo, exclaimed.
Daisy had already put on her coat. When she heard Huo Mian's voice, she hurriedly stretched her hands out of her sleeves and took the photo without tidying it up. The wedding dress was embellished with crepe, embroidered tulle, and delicate handmade lace. With a small neckline and a low-back see-through design, it was quite eye-catching. The dress was layered, and the light tulle filled the air. Tonks' heart-shaped face made her as beautiful as a princess, and her good figure was on full display. The Tonks in the wedding dress looked at the camera with a bright smile, and they were full of happiness.
"Wow, Remus is such a lucky man. This wedding dress really suits you, my beauty. We saw it hanging there when we were shopping, and we didn't think much of it. Why is it that when you wear it, it really suits you so well? It suits your temperament very well. "Daisy screamed in excitement.
The scream made Helena's mother and aunt, who were talking about serious matters, turn their heads at the same time. It also made Helena's father and daughter, who had no choice but to accompany their daughter to watch a Muggle romance drama in front of the wizard TV, pay attention to the scream.
"Wow, Tonks, did you choose this yourself? Or did someone else choose it for you? " Emily also looked at the photo enviously. "If someone else chose it, can I ask her to choose some clothes for me?"
Daisy's excited face suddenly froze. She held the photo and looked up suspiciously. Tonks was a forthright person. She was even more careless than herself. How could she have such a good sense of beauty and choose the most suitable outfit among so many clothes?
Daisy narrowed her eyes and asked, "So, Tonks, did you choose this yourself? Or did someone else choose it for you? "
"Uh... I was just lucky. I just tried it on. I didn't expect it to be so suitable." Tonks licked her lips. Her voice was a little hesitant, and the color of her hair had faded a lot.
Daisy's expression was no longer as excited as before. "Tonks, you didn't answer my question."
In front of the TV, a cloud of black smoke appeared out of thin air.
"Allen, I'll tell you..." Lunn, who had returned from Phantom Shift, wanted to discuss something with Allen. Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Allen put a finger on his lips, and then pulled Lunn to sit on the sofa.
Helena saw that her second uncle seemed to have something important to discuss with her father. She pursed her lips almost imperceptibly. Then, she got up and bowed to them with the hem of her skirt. She then floated to Daisy and the others.
Allen quietly pointed at Daisy and the Tonks to Lunn. Lunn was still confused. Only then did he notice that his sister seemed to be interrogating her best friend. Allen pointed the sharp end of the wand at his ear and the wide handle of the wand towards his sister. He had become a little gossipy after watching some TV series with his daughter. At this moment, he could not help but want to hear the girls' secrets. Although Lunn was still a little confused, she also took out her wand.
"No, it's just... I..." The Tonks were a little flustered.
Daisy looked at the Tonks' flustered expression strangely. She was more or less like Ravenclaw. She knew that the Tonks were lying, but she did not know why. "Who picked this for you? Why do you seem to be afraid that I will find out? "
Emily also saw the problem. Although she did not know why the Tonks were nervous, she also realized that she seemed to have asked something that she should not have.
"Auntie Hibiscus Chinensis picked this for you, right? I saw the two of you go out together yesterday afternoon. " Helena had floated over and saw the photo in Daisy's hand. She did not know the relationship between the two, but when she heard Daisy's question, she inadvertently exposed the Tonks' lie.
Daisy was stunned. She looked at the Tonks in disbelief and asked again in an uncertain tone, "So, this was Hibiscus Chinensis's choice? You went to pick a wedding dress with Hibiscus Chinensis behind my back? Tonks? "
The Tonks walked over to her nervously and reminded her, "I just bumped into her after I sent you back yesterday. I thought she was from the romantic France. You know, they are... more picky than us when it comes to dressing up."
Daisy could not believe her ears. She smoothed her hair back and sighed in disbelief, "My brother's apprentice, Merlin!"
Tonks did not notice that something was wrong with Daisy's exclamation. He only realized that something was wrong and hurried over. He anxiously grabbed Daisy's arm and explained, "Wait, my dear! We only went there once... Other than that, she means nothing to me... I've always been thinking about you. I'm sorry, okay? I don't want you to know. "
"But you chose the wedding dress that she picked for you!" Daisy jerked her arm out of Tonks's grasp, and her voice sounded like she was about to break down and cry.
Emily knew that things were not going well. She jumped off the chair and put the rest of the snacks back. She pulled her niece Helena, who still did not understand the situation, and ran to her room.
One was crying sadly, while the other was anxiously explaining. Seeing the two of them like this, Lunn, who was holding her wand, felt a little strange. Under normal circumstances, Lune recalled his limited experience with witches and became more and more confused about what it was like when witches quarreled with each other.
"At first, I just wanted to ask for her opinion. You know, she's also Albert's fiancée, and Albert is my boss... So, I had to be friendly to her..." The Tonks explained in a panic. "After I woke up, I found out that we were picking a wedding dress together..."
"My brother's Ravenclaw!" Daisy leaned against the counter behind her, unable to accept it. She nodded and sighed heavily. "I have to go out and take a breather … I'm sorry, Dora, I can't attend your bachelor party."
Daisy ran out of the door with a hurt look. The Tonks hurried to her and desperately explained to Daisy, "Wait, dear! I only went there with her once! "
Seeing the two of them acting like this... Lunn could not help but touch the goosebumps that suddenly appeared on his arms.
After listening to a comedic scene that would only appear in Muggle TV soap operas in their era, Allan was holding back his urge to laugh out loud. He turned his head and saw Lunn, who had always been serious, with his mouth wide open and his jaw about to fall off. He looked like he was frightened. Allan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
