Ignatius Leclair's expression changed abruptly, his sharp eyes blazing as he reached out and gripped her arm tightly. His voice was heavy as he said, "Delphine Carter, think carefully before you speak."
Calling her by her full name unmistakably revealed his genuine anger.
Delphine frowned, trying to break free, but the man's grip only tightened. He spoke coldly, "I'll pretend I didn't hear that. Even if you acknowledge Yunji after twenty years, a biological father and daughter are no more than strangers. You and I are the true family, do you understand?"
"That's quite a statement, Mr. Leclair. I don't much like hearing it," Leah Squire said, walking over with a small jar of tonic. Her exquisite, icy features carried a mocking smile as she said coquettishly, "If we're talking about who's closer to little Delphine, my brother and I are definitely ahead of you. Some people not only have thick skin but also an overabundance of confidence. I simply can't bear to watch."
