Chapter 281: Did Your Man Do This? The Methods Are Quite Ruthless
The old man of the Leclair Family is about to return to Southeast Asia for New Year’s, and Bessie, having held back for so many days, will undoubtedly be the first to expose her relationship with Ignatius Leclair.
The old man cares deeply about ethics and has high hopes for Ignatius Leclair; how could he possibly allow an illegitimate daughter with an unknown father to climb into the bed of his beloved eldest grandson? By then, if not beaten cripple, she would be beaten to death.
Currently, she is merely testing the limits of Ignatius Leclair within this limited time. If Ignatius treats her as a plaything and lets go, she can prepare a way out in advance.
If he intervenes, it’s inevitable that the grandfather and grandson will clash, and the consequences will be unpredictable. Delphine remained silent for a moment, a deep gleam flashing in her eyes; this was his debt to her.
"If you are really worried, why not go on a vacation abroad before the old man returns? The old man is bound to continue his recuperation in Switzerland after the new year, and avoiding all this would mean no disaster," Delphine suggested blandly.
Beatrice Carter considered it seriously. Every year the old man returned, she was on edge, and now that Delphine was back at the Leclair Family, who knows how angry the old man would get. Going abroad to avoid calamity was indeed a good idea.
"Then I’ll get ready right away and get through this first," Mrs. Carter said with a bright smile as she stood up to pack her luggage.
Seeing how easily she was persuaded, Delphine sighed softly, suddenly feeling a bit envious of Mrs. Carter. If only she, like her mother, couldn’t see through these hypocritical hearts, her days wouldn’t feel like walking on thin ice.
However, Mrs. Carter’s plan to evade calamity by going abroad fell through the next day.
Early the next morning, all the major newspapers in Southeast Asia were reporting on Stone Leclair’s scandal, and the internet was flooded with the news.
"Something happened to your family, check the news quickly." Leah called early, her usual laziness and amusement restrained, and said, "Although it’s Stone Leclair’s scandal, it involves your mother and brother."
Delphine hadn’t slept well the previous night, plagued by nightmares. Upon receiving the call, she got up, checked the news online, and then jolted awake, fully alert.
Online, someone exposed Stone Leclair’s misconduct, not only keeping a mistress but also having an illegitimate child; moreover, they even posted Isaac Leclair’s photo, although it was pixelated.
In the high society of Southeast Asia, who didn’t have a mistress or illegitimate child? But such matters must never be discussed openly, nor could they be known to everyone, having a terrible impact.
Delphine said in a low voice, "There aren’t many in Southeast Asia who would dare expose this sort of thing."
Her first thought was of Ignatius Leclair.
Leah, having the same thought, hesitantly asked, "Did your man do it? It’s a bit ruthless, and if not handled well, you could be dragged into it."
Since such matters have been exposed, it’s impossible not to have follow-up moves. It’s just unclear what the other party’s ultimate purpose is.
"Don’t panic yet; we’ve cleaned all your past traces, and even if it’s exposed, the worst that could happen is your scandal with Ignatius Leclair being revealed. I have a feeling there’s something odd about this situation," Leah pondered, murmuring, "This may be aimed at you; it doesn’t seem like Ignatius Leclair’s approach."
"Leah, I have a bad feeling," she said, her mood somewhat uneasy.
If she were Stone Leclair, considering this incident, how would she act? Delphine closed her eyes in thought, then suddenly realized something, her face turning pale.
