In two days, Stone Leclair will host a birthday banquet for Ms. Gu.
The old man called Stone for a serious talk about it, throwing a tantrum, but ultimately compromised for the sake of his son's political future.
When Ignatius Leclair mentioned it to Delphine, she remained silent. At this point, even the old man's opposition would merely entertain the outsiders, but it's foreseeable that Ms. Gu's days ahead will be far from easy.
Delphine had long lost all affection for her birth mother, abandoned all expectations, and shifted all her attention to Isaac Leclair. The siblings were inseparably close, almost living as though they were a single person.
Ignatius Leclair's expression was perpetually dark about it. If it weren't for the old man's presence, he would've long thrown that kid to the other side of the ocean. Competing with a group of men was one thing, but now he had to compete with a nine-year-old brat? Pah!
