Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Would Reginald Yeager Dare Take a Woman I’ve Been With?

Ignatius Leclair’s brows furrowed, his gaze dark and stormy. Reginald Yeager’s poorly thought-out scheme could only deceive a fool like Delphine Carter, who naively rushed in headfirst — a stupid, heartless creature.

Ignatius was at his breaking point. His long, slender fingers tightened, forcing her to meet his gaze. His stunning face was cold, his lips curled into a mocking smile. "Reginald Yeager protects you, and you think you’re treasured? Delphine, do you think a woman I’ve used is one Reginald would dare to claim?"

Delphine’s face went pale as she slapped his hand away. She stood up, retreating to the corner of the wall, silently staring at the emergency room, her quiet defiance evident.

Ignatius withdrew his fingers. Seeing her stubborn and defiant demeanor, he took a deep breath, grabbed her slender waist, and hoisted her over his shoulder, striding out.

Delphine felt the blood rush through her body as he carried her. Her face shifted through waves of shame and fury as she protested softly, "Put me down."

Ignatius’s expression grew even more ominous. As she struggled to break free, his muscular arm tightened around her like iron, restraining her firmly as he marched forward without hesitation.

Maximilian and the others saw Ignatius, usually so composed and dignified, carrying someone like this. Their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. But upon noticing Ignatius’s unspoken yet palpable menace, they quickly averted their gaze and stepped forward to clear the way.

Unable to resist, Delphine’s eyes inexplicably reddened. She was carried all the way to the car without glancing around to check for spectators. Since being involved with this man, she’d lost not only her face but her dignity; crushed beneath his feet, utterly disregarded.

Ignatius threw Delphine into the car, causing her head to spin briefly. Furious, she saw him get in and instinctively raised her hand, slapping him across the face.

The man’s striking features turned impossibly cold, the atmosphere freezing to the point of suffocating.

Delphine hit him with all her strength, her palm stinging from the effort. Once she finished, reason returned to her, her complexion turning pale, her body trembling slightly.

This slap—she should have delivered it years ago. All the things he’d done to her, those nights of forcing her like a beast in human skin—he only treated her that way because of her lowly background and the weaknesses he held over her, manipulating and using her as he pleased.

Even the most docile person has their limit. What’s more, Delphine’s nature was a little rebellious to begin with. After being suppressed by Ignatius for so long, it seemed inevitable that today’s confrontation would explode.

Ignatius’s lips pressed into a tight line as he endured the slap, furious to the point of wanting to strangle her. All this... for the sake of that scheming Reginald Yeager? And she dared to challenge him?

"Do you believe I’ll order someone to go into the emergency room right now and pull Reginald Yeager’s oxygen mask off?" Ignatius said coldly, his words sharp and deliberate.

Delphine was visibly frightened by his dark expression, her entire body trembling. Memories of her helpless mother and brother, who stood no chance against this man, flooded her mind. She thought of the years she’d lost both body and soul to him, and now she was dragging innocent people into it. She abruptly turned her face away as tears spilled from her eyes, one by one.

At this point, she had nothing left to fight for. What did it matter if he hit her again? It wouldn’t be the first time.

It was the first time Ignatius saw someone crying so silently — her delicate shoulders trembling slightly. The anger boiling within him was gradually extinguished by each tear that fell. His expression darkened as he reached out, grasping her quivering body, his rough palm brushing away the tears on her small face.

Delphine rarely showed such vulnerability. Seeing her wet, glistening eyes and her trembling frame, Ignatius knew the shadow of the beating Stone Leclair had given her still lingered. He thought about how it seemed that all the men of the Leclair Family carried some streak of brutality, and suddenly, he found himself incapable of being harsh toward her anymore.

This foolish woman — why did he even let himself lose control and get tangled up with her?

His rivalry with Reginald Yeager was a challenge between men. Women, however, were simply to be pampered. No matter how much they caused trouble, all it took was a night of discipline in bed to straighten things out.

The feel of her skin beneath his touch was soft, smooth, and fragrant. Ignatius’s desire stirred uncontrollably.

Since her injury, it had been more than a month since he’d touched her.

The man’s breathing grew heavy as he tilted her delicate face toward him and leaned down, pressing her against the seat.
