Chapter 132: Chapter 132: She Doesn’t Have to Leave, Just Have Her Kneel and Bow Three Times to Me

Delphine knew the moment she saw Bessie Leclair that she had come for her. Seeing the chaos Bessie caused among the film crew, Delphine frowned slightly, stepped forward, and said coldly, "Miss Leclair, although this area belongs to the Leclair family’s property holdings, it is not your personal property. If you want to expel the film crew, first, please provide proof of property ownership, and second, please prepare to pay substantial compensation."

No one knew the inner workings of the Leclair family better than her. If Bessie wanted to wield the family’s power, that depended on whether Delphine was willing to play along.

Bessie’s disruption caused filming to be temporarily halted. When Len Jiang led the crew out, he was astonished to hear the calm and assertive words from Delphine. A young woman with such boldness! While Delphine’s reasoning was sound, considering this was a member of the Leclair family, arguing logic would not be effective.

Len Jiang quickly stepped in front of Delphine, offering a polite but firm smile. "Miss Leclair, I’m Len Jiang, the director of this production. If the crew has offended you in any way, I ask for your understanding. However, suddenly asking us to leave would indeed violate the provisions of the contract."

Len wasn’t joking—his film crew hadn’t provoked this powerful family. What had the fourth Miss Leclair gone through to launch such a pointed attack on them?

Bessie’s eyes sparked with rage upon seeing Len implicitly siding with Delphine. Her beautiful yet distorted face reflected her fury: another man bewitched by this woman’s tricks. This wretch truly had skills.

"Where did this wench come from? Do you think you have the right to speak here?" Bessie hurled insults at Delphine, gesturing for her companions beside her. "Show her how to talk properly!"

A group of young women, adorned in high heels, rolled up their sleeves and charged forth.

Seeing this stance, everyone immediately understood that the target was Delphine Carter.

Len Jiang’s expression shifted slightly; this was the lead actress of his film. If she fell into the hands of Miss Leclair, the production would be thoroughly derailed.

"Miss Leclair, she’s a young girl who doesn’t know how to speak respectfully. I apologize on her behalf," Len hurriedly signaled Delphine with his eyes.

Delphine stepped forward. She was wearing the crew’s tailored blue plaid qipao, which hugged her curves and revealed an astonishing silhouette. Her graceful movements, combined with her exquisitely sculpted face, drew the attention of everyone present.

"I’m sorry, Miss Leclair. What must we do for the film crew to continue shooting?"

It was evident this was trouble-seeking behavior. Everyone took note of how this poised and beautiful young woman was willing to bow her head for the good of the production. Comparing her humility to the arrogance of the Leclair family’s fourth Miss, the contrast was stark.

Some of the male actors in the film crew began glaring impatiently at Bessie, their collective frustration forming a subtle but unified opposition.

Bessie noticed Delphine’s bowed demeanor and the crowd’s hostility, yet she dismissed it entirely. Her sole purpose today was to humiliate Delphine. If she couldn’t have peace, neither could Delphine.

"If you want me to spare the film crew, fine. Come here, kneel before me, and kowtow three times. Say ’I am a wretch’ three times, and I will let you all go," Bessie sneered at her with a cold smile, clearly unwilling to stop until her demands were met.

Before coming here, she made sure her elder brother was occupied at the company meeting, and Jocelyn Yeager was cornered by her plots. She wanted to see if anyone was willing to offend the Leclair family just to stand up for this miserable woman.

The crowd’s expressions shifted immediately. Though dignity and pride meant nothing in the face of power, being humiliated publicly in front of everyone meant Delphine Carter’s career in this industry would essentially be over.

As they considered the consequences of offending the most powerful heiress in the southern region, the crowd began to simmer in anger over Bessie’s tyranny while simultaneously pitying Delphine’s plight. Yet, no one dared to step forward.
