Chapter 277 Yesterday I Could Save You, Next Time I Could Destroy You
"When Bessie pushed me, I was still a distance from the lakeside. If someone had reached out to help me, nothing would have happened. But instead of helping, Miss Melody bumped into me, causing me to fall into the lake by the rebound force," Delphine spoke calmly.
"If I remember correctly, when Bessie rushed out to hit Jocelyn, you were standing beside her." Within seconds, Melody reacted, not only changing her position but also orchestrating this accident. Truly, the talented woman from Cambridge, the top socialite of Nanyang.
"Since you already know, I won’t hide it," Melody lay on the hospital bed, her face pale. She smiled gently with an innocent and soft demeanor, saying, "I’ve heard that since you returned to Nanyang, you’ve been suppressing Bessie, ruined the Wade Family, and not only did you hook up with Reginald but also with Ignatius. Indeed, you have some skills. Others didn’t notice, but you saw through it all."
"I have no grudge against Miss Melody. Is it worth risking your body like this?"
Melody chuckled charmingly, blinking her eyes, and said softly yet seductively, "Of course it’s worth it. Last night, Mr. Leclair stayed with me all night and only left this morning. Besides, I saved Miss Carter. If you ever have a dispute with me over anything, others would only say you repay kindness with animosity."
"Oh, by the way, I can swim," Melody looked at her, enunciating each word with a secretive smile, "Ignatius knows this too, but he still jumped in to save me. Shouldn’t you thank me for letting you see where Ignatius’s heart truly lies?"
Delphine bit her lip, reluctant but with respect for Melody’s skills in deception, which were indeed remarkably outstanding.
She let out a cold laugh and turned to leave.
"Delphine Carter, don’t covet what doesn’t belong to you." Melody called out to stop her, her voice no longer gentle but carrying a hint of coldness, "Yesterday I could save you; next time I could ruin you."
Delphine left the hospital room expressionlessly.
Dongzi, who was waiting outside, brightened up when he saw her come out. He scratched his head and said, "Miss Carter, Mr. Leclair asked you to return to the Leclair manor."
Delphine was in a bad mood. She nodded, somewhat listlessly, saying, "I’m a bit hungry. I want to get a cup of coffee."
"Oh, okay." Dongzi had never seen her like this and hurriedly drove to a nearby café.
She took five hours to drink a cup of coffee until the sun set.
By the time they were driving back to the Leclair manor, Dongzi almost cried. His phone had run out of battery due to the butler’s constant calls, and although Miss Carter appeared emotionally down, she was incredibly stubborn and refused to leave, leaving him utterly hopeless.
Dongzi, trembling with fear, took Delphine to the Leclair manor but didn’t dare leave. He decided to wait outside for an hour; if Miss Carter argued with Mr. Leclair and wanted to leave, how could she do so without a driver? Dongzi squatted at the manor’s entrance, murmuring his hopes: "Amitabha, wishing for great fortune and peace."
Delphine entered the side hall, where the old butler, as if seeing his savior, put down his feather duster, approached with a smile, and said, "Miss Carter, have you eaten? The kitchen has some reserved dishes. By the way, Mr. Leclair might be looking for you."
"I’ve eaten, thank you, butler." She had no appetite and smiled at the butler before heading upstairs to rest, not even asking where Ignatius was.
Delphine returned to the small attic room, and as soon as she opened the door, the man who had been waiting for a long time lifted his handsome brows and said heavily, "Finally decided to come back?"
