Chapter 667: Incompatible Bazi
Delphine saw that he agreed to let Isaac come back and instantly breathed a sigh of relief, her brows and eyes relaxing a little.
This time, Leah and Griffith Squire were returning to the South Seas and would likely stay there for a long time. Delphine also planned to shift the focus of her career there, which was perfect for taking care of Isaac.
As for Ignatius Leclair, even if the two didn’t divorce, she had made up her mind to live her life outside, independently.
"Thank you for this," Delphine said indifferently.
Ignatius saw that she was now willing to speak to him calmly. His phoenix-like eyes showed depth, a faint glimmer flickering within them. His previously gloomy mood inexplicably lifted.
On the fourth day of January, the movie directed by Delphine premiered. Since Delphine had always been low-profile since her debut and avoided participating in any public activities, the originally planned premiere event during her return to the South Seas was handed over to Kyla Zamora and her team to handle.
After the film premiered, it unexpectedly received great acclaim. Fans stayed up all night waiting for the premiere screening, and both ratings and word-of-mouth soared.
Early in the morning, Delphine answered more than a dozen congratulatory phone calls. That day, the box office exceeded 100 million, which was an excellent result for a youth film—considered a smash hit.
Her first battle after returning to the Entertainment Sector proved to be a resounding victory.
"I can’t believe it—such a high box office!" Kyla Zamora called five or six times, each time repeating the same thing, laughing heartily in excitement. "Delphine, I’m bringing the team back to the South Seas immediately. South Seas has always been our firm root, and even though I haven’t returned yet, this morning, five or six investors and film companies have already called me."
Delphine smiled, listening to her rambling words. By the time Kyla Zamora reached the end of her chatter, she was both laughing and crying over the phone.
"I never imagined I’d come this far. When the team disbanded back then, I thought I’d never get another chance in this lifetime. You have no idea—after working with you, I truly couldn’t bring myself to manage other artists again."
Kyla Zamora cried with deep emotion. Having worked as a manager for over a decade in the industry, she had seen all kinds of people. Working with someone as talented and solitary as Delphine had deeply impacted her—not to mention her brief encounter with the top-tier elite families of the South Seas.
That short year as Delphine’s manager had changed her life forever.
Delphine chuckled softly to comfort her. Finally, after ending the call, she saw Leah’s name appear on her incoming call screen.
"I watched your movie. Honestly, it was poorly shot. I cried so much my makeup was ruined," Leah said tearfully, her voice choked. "Delphine Carter, how much hardship must you have endured over the years to make such a film?"
"Maybe I’ve just got some talent," Delphine replied with a smile. She used to feel the bitterness of life, but after having Nicholas and Benjamin, that sense of hardship disappeared.
"I found the house you wanted—it’s right next to our villa. You can move in with Nicholas anytime you like. Finally, there’ll be someone to join me for meals," Leah said, her tone shifting to cheerful excitement.
"What about Major General Richard Shaw?"
At the mention of this, Leah grew visibly frustrated and said, "Griffith and Richard are totally incompatible. They beat each other up the moment they met. Griffith insists I cut ties with the Shaw Family. We’ll see how things develop later. In any case, I’ve never been particularly fond of the Shaw Mansion—it always feels strange and creepy to me. I much prefer the freedom of the South Seas."
"Have you asked Griffith Squire why? I think it may have something to do with your childhood in the Imperial City," Delphine said thoughtfully. "Ignatius Leclair mentioned that you were adopted by a prestigious family in the Imperial City when you were young. Since he’s seen you before, there’s a chance Richard Shaw might have seen you as well."
"Leah, have you ever considered that you and Richard Shaw may have known each other before?" Delphine asked in a low voice.
