the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart Chapter 122 This Knot is Impossible to Untangle

The plot took a sharp downward turn, and Delphine once again found herself at the center of the storm.

The crowd began to gossip incessantly.

It seems that the adopted daughter of the Leclair Family does have so issues. That scandal back then caused quite a stir.

Ignatius Leclair’s face was ashen. Seeing Thiago Wade jump into the fray, his gaze, sharp as a knife, turned toward his father, Stone Leclair. Stone, having endured suffocation for days, finally retaliated.

Although the sche appeared aid at Delphine, it was actually a step-by-step attack targeting him.

If Ignatius stepped forward today to admit that the man back then was him, by tomorrow, the scandal would spread like wildfire. Not only would his maternal grandmother be furious enough to spit blood, but even the old master would be enraged enough to fly back from Switzerland. At that point, Delphine’s fate would undoubtedly take a dark turn.

If he didn’t step forward and let Thiago Wade spew nonsense, Stone Leclair’s next move might directly push for Thiago to marry Delphine and use her to manipulate Griffith Squire, whose intentions had been blatantly clear from the start.

No matter how it’s calculated, Stone Leclair stood to win.

What a masterful move.

Ignatius’s brows and eyes held an even colder chill, his lips pressed tightly, his heart burning with fury, a sense of being trapped in his own web. He and Delphine had already been in a state of cold war, and now, the scandal that stood between them was dragged out once again. This knot seed impossible to untangle.

Everyone present was astute enough to sense trouble. It involved the Leclair Family’s scandal, and Ignatius was visibly enraged. Ignoring the Wade Family’s dignity, he made a move against their only heir, Thiago Wade. Fear gripped them all—they wished they could vanish imdiately rather than stay and listen to gossip.

"Thiago, speak properly."

Thiago Wade’s face turned pale, and under the fury of Ignatius, he couldn’t stop trembling.

"Back then, I fell in love with Delphine at first sight. I unintentionally made a foolish mistake, and I’ve regretted it ever since. Mr. Leclair, I want to marry Delphine." Thiago Wade’s voice quivered, sweat pouring like rain, and he didn’t dare stand up, afraid that Ignatius might kick him to the ground again the mont he rose.

Thiago Wade also felt aggrieved. For all his years dominating the South Seas, the only person who could truly suppress him was this massive figure. After taking the kick, he didn’t even dare retaliate. If not for his old man being tied to Stone Leclair on the sa ship, he wouldn’t need to risk his life offending Ignatius.

Ignatius let out a cold laugh and sneered, "With your cowardly deanor, how could you have even had ti to date Delphine Carter when you’ve visited my ho fewer than three tis in a year?"

Sweat dripped from Thiago Wade’s forehead, one drop after another, as he stiffly stood his ground and blurted, "We’ve always been eting outside."

"If you leave right now, I’ll pretend none of this happened," Ignatius said, squinting, his gaze icy, spitting out each word with precision.

"Delphine, you speak," Stone Leclair said, a hidden smile playing at his lips as his gaze shifted to Delphine, who had remained silent all along.

This was a checkmate. No matter what answer Delphine gave, he would ultimately be the victor.

Delphine’s face was pale, almost transparent, as she gazed at the people present. Each seed to wear several layers of masks—she couldn’t see through them. The mont Thiago Wade declared his intention to marry her, she snapped awake. This was a chess match between the father and son of the Leclair Family, and she was rely a pawn—a laughable pawn.

Countless thoughts surged within her, screaming to break through the long-restrained barriers.

Her fingertips tensed slightly. Should she reveal the truth and cent the scandal as a form of revenge for the harm she had suffered back then? Or should she rely on Thiago Wade to escape Ignatius Leclair’s control? After a long mont of silence, she spoke with a chilly tone.
