Today, after waking up, Catherine sat at her dressing table. She swore that she had never taken such good care of her appearance before.
Even when I attended a ball at Ilvermorny Academy of Magic, I had never been so attentive.
About half a month ago, Nicholas told Catherine that a British guest would come to the United States to visit him, and as Nicholas's heir, she needed to meet him.
Yes, heir.
Nicholas was very rich, even richer than the rest of the family combined. The strange thing was that none of his relatives, friends, or even his own family knew that he was rich.
All they knew was that Nicholas was a solitary alchemist.
In the American wizarding world, alchemist is not a popular profession. The threshold for alchemy is very high, and alchemical experiments are regarded by most wizards as money-burning experiments, ranking first along with potion experiments.
Moreover, the U.S. Ministry of Magic has very strict monitoring of wizards, so even if some research results are achieved, it is hard to say whether they can be put to use.
So, alchemists in the United States are very rare, and most of them are poor.
But Nicholas is very rich.
One day, when Catherine was spending her summer vacation at Nicholas' farm, Nicholas asked her if she wanted to be his heir.
Of course, Catherine hesitated.
Catherine is a genius with a bright future, and although he also likes alchemy, she will not gamble with her future.
She never forgot that Nicholas seemed to see through her thoughts and told her that as long as she became his heir, she would never lack Zhuoguo in her life and could spend a lot of time on alchemy.
In the end, Catherine made an unbreakable vow with her grandfather, and it was also on that day that she realized how rich her grandfather was.
As the only wizard in America who sells Floo powder, Nicholas has to give half of the profits from this unique business, and the rest belongs to him alone.
Not long ago, Catherine, who graduated from Ilvermorny Academy of Magic, received Nicholas' first gift, a house.
After Nicholas dies one day in the future, he will be able to inherit most of Nicholas's inheritance.
Honestly, no one hates this job.
In the United States, most wizards are actually very realistic. They like to emulate Zhuo Guo. They usually compete to enter the United States Ministry of Magic and have a well-paid job.
Catherine actually didn't like that place. If she entered the Ministry of Magic, her only advantage would be a good-looking transcript, which would not even be as good as those students with some connections, and would not be of much help to her future.
So, Catherine quickly fell in love with this job. She would have enough experience to support her dreams and display her talents instead of doing nothing at a desk.
His father and even his family failed to receive this honor, not only because they had no talent, but also because they were unwilling to work hard at it.
Being the spokesperson for American Floo Fans requires absolute confidentiality, and no one else knows about it except the heir or assistant.
Catherine still remembers that when she was very young, a major event happened in the wizarding world.
The American Ministry of Magic once tried to figure out who was selling Floo powder, and even captured a house-elf from the Floo Boom Company in an attempt to knock something out of its mouth.
As a result, the house-elf died.
The wizard who killed the house-elf also disappeared shortly afterwards.
Everyone thought that it was the people from the Floo Company who killed the wizard, but they didn't have any evidence, and couldn't even find any evidence.
Because no one knows who produces and provides Floo powder, and the loyal house-elves can't pry anything out.
When the wizards who were misled by the New York Ghost rushed into the Floo Company, they found that there was no one there.
Yes, the Floo Boom Company on Wizard Street in New York has closed down on its own.
At the same time, the supply of Floo powder to the United States was also stopped.
After Floo powder ran out of stock, there was no more Floo powder on the market, and the wizards were dumbfounded.
This matter caused a big stir.
The American Ministry of Magic had to import Floo powder from abroad, but the high price made it unaffordable for many wizards.
The good things done by the American Ministry of Magic were dug up, and everyone naturally figured out what was going on. It turned out that you wanted to spy on other people's wealth.
So, everyone was cursing the Ministry of Magic.
Finally, the American Ministry of Magic bowed its head.
However, there was no point in apologizing.
The Floo Company disappeared into thin air, as if it had never existed.
The entire American Ministry of Magic was very angry about this, but there was nothing they could do.
Later, the President of the Magical Congress of the United States of America resigned and left the office. Several officials of the Ministry of Magic who were involved in the incident were also fired.
However, in the following years, Floo powder was no longer available in the United States, and the Ministry of Magic was forced to purchase it from abroad at great expense.
By now, the Ministry of Magic all over the world knew that this extremely mysterious Floo Pong company was not to be trifled with.
For this company, the worst that can happen is that I will stop doing business with you. If you have the ability, go to other countries to buy Floo powder!
Several years later, everyone suddenly realized that the Floo Company had quietly reopened on Wizard Street.
There is no doubt that this is Nicholas' revenge on the American Ministry of Magic.
The Floo Company is mysterious and powerful.
This was Catherine's first impression when she learned about this.
Catherine was even more curious about the Wildsmith family, the owners of Floobang.
According to Grandpa Nicholas's description, he had only met the then heir of Wildsmith once a few decades ago when he officially became the heir.
After he chose Catherine as his heir, he naturally needed to meet with the new heir of the Wildsmith family again to continue this ancient contract.
Nicholas didn't know much about the Wildsmith family. He only knew that the family was very rich and attached great importance to knowledge. Every family member was a genius, but they were not direct blood relatives. Instead, they were selected and had the bloodline of the Wildsmith family.
Most importantly, almost no one knows their identities, just as no one knows the identity of Nicholas's grandfather.
In Catherine's words, it is a mysterious, wealthy family in which every member is a genius.
Although this seemed a bit absurd to her, such a strange family had lasted for more than seven hundred years and remained prosperous.
To be honest, Kathleen really wanted to meet the legendary Wildsmith and see if he was really as great a genius as the legend said.
She put her clothes on and went to meet his grandfather Nicholas.
"Are we going to the Ministry of Magic like this?" Catherine asked doubtfully.
"They will use the international Floo network in France." Nicholas took his granddaughter's arm and Apparated with her near the Woolworth Building.
"It should be about time!" Nicholas took out his pocket watch to check the time, then took his granddaughter directly to the waiting room of the International Floo Network.
During this period, Catherine's beauty attracted the attention of many men, and there was an endless stream of people coming to greet her and chat with her, including many of her suitors.
