In the End, Bell Still Couldn't Escape His Father's Clutches

Grandio Justin is a very handsome man; at least Bell thinks the other man is more handsome than him.

During their conversation, Bell could clearly sense that the other person was somewhat reserved. Perhaps it was because Bell was about the same height as him that Grandio found it difficult to regard Bell as a junior.

After a brief exchange and a general understanding of the prospective uncle's situation, Bell gave up his seat to someone else. He had no interest in investigating the man in detail.

The engagement ceremony was a great success. To add to the ceremony's splendor, Bell's maternal grandmother had arranged for Lim, the Menethil Family's head chef and Bell's personal butler, to join the family many days in advance.

Lim was heartbroken.

The thought that her Young Master would not be able to eat her hot meals for several days filled Lim with sorrow, and she wished she could learn the One Qi Transforms into Three Purities technique.

In that way, she could divide herself into three parts to provide even more meticulous service to her Young Master.

The engagement is over, and the next step is to prepare for the wedding ceremony.

The wedding ceremony will be held in a month, although Helena and Grandio both hope to take a spontaneous trip... no, they hope to have a destination wedding together.

But Bell's maternal grandmother, Clara, would not allow that to happen.

Just kidding, the Jeslaff Family is, after all, Pure-blood Family with a long history in the British Wizarding World... well, maybe their history isn't that long.

But this does not prevent their family from having a very high status!

Who told her to have such a good daughter, marry such a good son-in-law, and give her such an outstanding grandson?

It's mainly because her daughter has good genes...

Therefore, when a daughter of the Jeslav family gets married, she must have a grand funeral... no, a truly grand affair! It cannot be taken lightly!

A destination wedding? Even her unreliable eldest daughter has never done anything so outrageous. Neither of these two sisters gives her a moment's peace of mind.

It's all that old geezer's fault! Both daughters must have taken after their father and failed to inherit their mother's good genes!

Therefore, she would never agree to let her youngest daughter have a destination wedding. After the wedding, the young couple can travel wherever they want, but the wedding ceremony must be completed first!

And such important matters as wedding preparations certainly couldn't be left to Bell and Shanna, those two little ones.

Actually, there wasn't much to prepare. The location had already been chosen, and the house-elves were handling the setup and food House-elf. So everyone else was just busy doing things under Clara's pressure.

Elena complained a lot about this, but Bell was also struggling to take care of himself and had no energy to comfort his mother.

You see, William has been lusting after Bell's body... no, he's been lusting after Bell's free labor for who knows how long.

William felt extremely resentful, especially after Bell secretly plotted to kill Voldemort, which added an unimaginable amount of heavy work to his workload.

Why should he be exhausted every day, like a dead dog, unable to even find time to sleep, and not knowing how many days it has been since he's been intimate with his wife?

Meanwhile, Bell can have women on both sides and go to the newly opened Ecosystem Park to have fun.

That's so enviable... Ugh! It's so infuriating!

He was such a pure-hearted person; to this day, he has never done anything to betray his wife (mainly because he didn't have the guts).

Now look at that brat Bell. He's so young and already has bad habits. First, he kept a lover (Penelope) like others, and now he's brought along a Half-Veela from who knows where.

Where did this life winner come from?!

Bell, of course, strongly condemned his father's baseless slander.

Let's start with Penelope. She earned her high salary through her talent!

At most, he only showed a little bit of personal favoritism...

Besides, Penelope has a boyfriend, and he would never do something as tasteless as being a third party.

By the way, Percy shouldn't be dead yet, right?

To avoid suspicion, Bell has not inquired about Penelope and Percy's relationship since the Quidditch World Cup ended.

And then there's Phoebe. He and Phoebe have absolutely no relationship whatsoever, okay? Their relationship is purely platonic... no, there's not even a friendship between them!

Phoebe desperately wanted to avoid him. Every time she looked at him, it was as if she were looking at a big bad wolf.

Unfortunately, no matter how much evidence Bell presented to prove that his trip to the Ecosystem Park was truly just to study the origin and evolution of life, in William's eyes, which had been corrupted by filthy jealousy, it was all just sophistry!

Although strictly speaking, it's not wrong...

So, William, who couldn't stand seeing Bell doing well, promptly handed over all the recent troubles the American Wizarding World had encountered to Bell.

Normally, these matters should have been handled by Bell's grandparents and great-grandparents, a group of four. William and Elena would occasionally come over to help.

However, recently, due to Helena's wedding, the other three have been running around in circles being directed by Clara, and have no time to care about those "trivial matters" in the business world.

William, however, was preoccupied with many matters and simply couldn't spare the time.

As for Elena?

As the matriarch of the Menethil Family, Elena has always been decisive and efficient in her actions.

What? Someone dares to cause trouble?

Dry him to death!

Therefore, William was really worried about letting his wife handle the problem alone.

Knock knock!

A knock came at the door.

"Go in!"

Bell sat sprawled in the chair behind his desk, legs crossed, looking rather uncouth.

He wasn't satisfied with his current chair. It was uncomfortable to sit in and completely ergonomically incompatible.

The door was pushed open, and a staff member whose face could not be seen slowly walked in.

Don't get me wrong, the reason Bell couldn't see the staff member's face was simply because the person's face was blocked by a pile of documents that was almost 1 meter high.

"Young Master, these are issues that have been piling up recently, and we need your decision."

With a thud, Sally Teal placed the large stack of documents on the table before speaking to the dumbfounded Bell.

Sally was an administrative assistant appointed by Bell's grandfather, responsible for collecting and organizing information from the various industries below. It was somewhat like a job Bell assigned to Penelope.

However, Sally's job doesn't require her to know much about magic, but the tasks are much more complicated.

After all, although not as large as in Britain, the Menethil Family still has quite a few businesses in the United States.
