Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Men Like Women Who Act Coquettishly

Delphine returned to the small attic, changed into her pajamas, and curled up on the bed made of tatami, her whole body trembling slightly.

Just now in the study room, she saw Ignatius Leclair’s aggressive demeanor for the first time. For a moment, she thought he was going to strangle her.

She hugged her knees tightly, her face devoid of any color, her whole body aching, her teeth chattering uncontrollably.

She had only been asleep for less than ten minutes when Sister Zhao’s call came in.

"Delphine, do you have some sort of misunderstanding with Mr. Leclair?"

Delphine was taken aback for a moment and then quietly said, "Why do you say that?"

"Just now, Maximilian called to say that there will be no activities arranged for you during this period. All three promotional events for ’The Abyss’ have been canceled."

Sister Zhao was thunderstruck by the news. "’The Abyss’ isn’t much of a concern, but the key is that ’Twin Flowers’ is about to be released soon. Delphine, you must explain clearly to the Major General about the rumors."

Although the Major General suppressed the rumors, men are sensitive to such matters. Sister Zhao, seeing the situation, felt a bit alarmed.

Surely, the baseless rumors wouldn’t lead to them blacklisting their precious Delphine, right?

Delphine was silent for a few seconds, her face a bit pale. After a while, she hoarsely said, "If it’s canceled, then so be it."

Now, the Leclair Family was in chaos, with Stone Leclair in a great rage, her mother severely injured, and Jocelyn Yeager’s background exposed. With all these events happening one after another, she had no time to attend the promotional events.

"Delphine, don’t blame me for meddling. A woman should be a bit softer. When things happen, act a bit spoiled. If you’re wronged, you need to show it. With your personality, I’m afraid you’ll suffer." Sister Zhao sighed earnestly.

Their precious Delphine, though very beautiful, had a stubborn personality, which could be a great disadvantage with men. Nowadays, even ordinary men have wandering eyes, let alone someone with the Major General’s status.

Delphine responded quietly, then hung up the phone.

She closed her eyes and fell into a deep, hazy sleep, her consciousness trapped in a deep, dense dream, unable to awaken. She vaguely heard a woman’s angry shouts and cries.

"Wake her up with water."

Amidst the overwhelming cold and suffocation, Delphine felt like she was drowning and couldn’t breathe. She suddenly sat up, took a deep breath, and opened her eyes in panic.

The room was in chaos, with water stains everywhere. All her belongings were drenched, and even the tatami bed she was sleeping in was soaked through.

Bessie Leclair stood in the small attic with her hands on her hips, her pretty face somewhat twisted. She charged over and slapped Delphine fiercely, cursing bitterly, "Delphine Carter, how dare you steal my man!"

Delphine, suffering from low blood sugar, was startled awake by the ice-cold water, still in shock. Without any time to dodge, she was slapped hard, her body weak, causing her head to hit the wall behind her.

"Throw all her junk out for me," Bessie continued to vent her anger, sweeping everything off the table onto the floor.

The servants kept their heads down, too scared to speak, silently moving Delphine’s belongings out.

After the fall, Delphine’s head throbbed with pain, but she also became clear-headed, seeing Bessie acting like a madwoman. Her face changed slightly, and she rasped, "Are you crazy?"

"I am crazy, you bitch, just like your aunt, only knowing how to seduce men."

Bessie threw everything within reach at Delphine, her face turning livid with rage as she hurled items.
