Chapter 484: Chapter 484 When Did Ignatius Leclair Get Into This?
Female doctor? Delphine lowered her gaze and pondered. Since when did Ignatius Leclair develop a taste for good doctors?
She browsed Weibo for a while, finding countless posts about the two of them. The female doctor was exceedingly attractive—slender, delicate features, precisely his type. After idly scrolling for a bit, Delphine discovered that the female doctor’s Weibo had been thoroughly dug into.
Below were legions of online trolls.
"With looks like that, she’s not even fit to carry my idol’s shoes, let alone be a mistress."
"Why be a doctor if you’d rather play social media influencer!"
"Doctors who don’t want to practice medicine are just desperate wannabe mistresses."
The ever-resourceful Sunrise Community quickly unearthed the female doctor’s relationship history.
Ever since she and Ignatius Leclair left Cloud Summit one after the other last time, the rumors about them had been confirmed. The trolls naturally accepted their relationship. But now that a supposed mistress has popped up, the internet has exploded.
Delphine couldn’t help but laugh—despite being the primary party involved, she hadn’t gotten worked up yet.
After skimming briefly, Delphine put the matter aside. She spent the day reading and even called Leah during the afternoon.
Leah mentioned planning to stay long-term in Europe until Griffith Squire is found. As for Richard Shaw, he’s also remained in Europe, helping with the search and undergoing treatment for his legs.
Upon hearing that the Shaw family’s Major General was getting treatment in Europe, Delphine felt reassured, knowing he could look out for Leah.
By evening, Ignatius Leclair returned from the hospital, finding Delphine chatting with her father in the courtyard.
Cloud Summit had not only been taking stock of his personal assets in recent days, but also seemed to be shelving plans for maritime exploration indefinitely. After wandering for over two decades, seasoned with storms of all kinds, he realized he no longer had reasons to keep moving. Now he had a daughter and grandson, so this middle-aged veteran decided to accept offers from multiple countries to become a maritime lecturer and lead a more tranquil life.
When Ignatius showed up, the affable and charismatic older man immediately darkened his expression and fell silent.
Ignatius’s sharp almond-shaped eyes showed slight contemplation. Yesterday, the man had even specially brewed tea for him—what had provoked this cold shoulder today?
While puzzling over it, Cloud Summit spread out the latest newspaper and lamented with deep anguish, "Young people these days have no sense of decency. Today it’s some socialite; tomorrow it’s that female doctor. I truly can’t stand this kind of fickle man."
Delphine was sipping tea and nearly spat out a mouthful. This was clearly an indirect jab at Ignatius Leclair right to his face.
Ignatius said nothing, glanced at the newspaper, and his handsome face immediately darkened. He called Maximilian.
"What’s going on with that female doctor?"
Maximilian was in the middle of dinner, utterly swamped these days. He had thought Brock Gray’s return would help share the workload. But who would’ve guessed that the Fourth Miss was stirring up a divorce, and Mr. Leclair was constantly cleaning up one mess after another—not to mention swatting away men scheming for Miss Delphine. At this point, Maximilian was essentially functioning as two people. Who could possibly notice a female doctor amidst all this chaos?
"I’ll check right now."
Maximilian quickly sent someone to investigate and returned the call shortly after.
"An entertainment reporter snuck into Cloud Summit, snapping shots of Ms. Jo heading into a suite on the eighth floor, exaggerating the story for a sensational article."
"And such a fabricated story could actually make it to press?" Ignatius’s voice turned icy.
Maximilian sounded troubled as he muttered, "Because that entertainment reporter happens to be your cousin, Miss Hannah Howard."
Ignatius fell into stunned silence. The Howard Family not only had the mischief-making Demon King Hun Yeats Howard but also the charmingly oblivious Mia Howard. No wonder such unfounded rumors could go public.
