the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart

Chapter 511: Revenge That’s Calm and Strikes with a Single Blow

Jocelyn Yeager looked at the bedroom that had been smashed into chaos. When he saw Bessie Leclair with her hair disheveled, her entire demeanor distorted and hideous since the miscarriage, he immediately shouted angrily, "What are you doing?"

Bessie Leclair heard Jocelyn Yeager’s voice and suddenly became thrilled. But as soon as she saw Delphine Carter standing protectively behind him, her slightly rounded belly in clear view, her eyes turned bloodshot, and she screamed harshly, "You... you shameless adulterous pair!"

Delphine knew she had misunderstood but didn’t explain. Her small, clean face was serene, her delicate features refined and her bearing extraordinary—such a stark contrast to the bedraggled Bessie Leclair, they were like night and day.

"I heard you had a miscarriage, so I came to check on you," Delphine stepped forward, looking at the fallen state of Bessie today. There was no trace of the arrogant princess she had been in her youth. Life truly is thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west.

She hooked a faintly mocking smile at the corner of her lips. The moment Bessie saw it, she felt that Delphine had come merely to flaunt her triumph, to kick her while she was down, savoring her miserable plight. She screamed sharply, "Delphine Carter, get out of here! You’re not welcome in my house!"

Delphine gave a cold laugh, speaking lightly, "I came here just to see you. If it hadn’t been for your care all these years, my life wouldn’t have had nearly as much joy."

When Delphine lived with the Leclair Family during her youth, her struggles were largely due to Bessie Leclair’s bullying. Now, seeing her in such a state, all those old grudges dissipated like smoke. In the end, they were both pitiful people.

Delphine cast her a pitying glance, and Bessie felt as though the world was crumbling. That orphan she had once treated like a servant and abused on a whim now dared to look at her with such a sympathetic gaze—had Delphine Carter gone mad?

Bessie felt a thread snap abruptly in her mind, and she lunged at Delphine, trying to grab her hair to drag her down with her.

Jocelyn Yeager’s expression changed. He stepped forward, shoved her to the ground, and said with disgust, "Look at yourself now! You’ve become no better than a lunatic. Bessie Leclair, how have you come to be this repulsive?"

Bessie fell to the ground, staring blankly at the man she had loved since her youth. Seeing the disdain on his face was like being struck by lightning. She suddenly burst into heart-wrenching sobs.

Why? Why had it come to this? Why did everyone love Delphine Carter and not her? Clearly, she was the most dignified and noble daughter of the Leclair Family, while Delphine was nothing more than a freeloading orphan. Why?

Delphine glanced at the shards sprawled across the floor from Bessie’s earlier tantrum. Unsure if the push had caused her any injuries, she murmured, "I’ll be going now. If she keeps behaving like this, she’ll surely go insane. It’d be better to send her to a hospital soon, or maybe back to the Leclair Family estate."

Jocelyn Yeager also felt it was time to send her back to the Leclair estate—keeping her here would only result in further drama between the two families.

When Bessie Leclair heard mention of being sent back to the Leclair mansion, her face instantly turned panicked. She sobbed, "I don’t want to go back! I don’t want to go anywhere!"

Ever since her infidelity, miscarriage, and divorce, it seemed like one wrong step led to another. There was no way for Bessie to return to being the woman she used to be—she couldn’t face going back to the Leclair mansion like this.

Jocelyn Yeager paid her cries no heed and had already instructed someone to pack her belongings. Bessie stared at Delphine Carter standing silently to one side, her cold smile faintly visible. Suddenly, a chilling realization dawned upon her.

This was Delphine Carter’s revenge—meticulously planned, silent yet devastating. With just one move, Delphine had shattered everything: Bessie’s pride and dignity as the cherished noble daughter of a wealthy family.
