the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart-Chapter 864: The Most Poisonous Is a Woman’s Heart

Ever since Bessie Leclair declared her intention to deal with Jocelyn Yeager, Delphine had been keeping a close eye on the latest developments in South America. Sure enough, lately, the Yeager Family had been under a cloud of negative news; although none of it was serious enough to be devastating, it was certainly enough to cause distress.

On the fourth day, Bessie Leclair finally paid another visit to the Leclair Mansion, and this time Nathan Leclair was also present.

When the two met, neither acknowledged the other.

"For mom and dad’s wedding anniversary, at first I only planned to invite a few friends for a festive gathering, but I felt that this thirtieth anniversary shouldn’t be treated lightly." Bessie’s visit was specifically to discuss the upcoming wedding anniversary with the Old Master.

Though she’d grown somewhat distant these past few years in the South American Continent, Bessie still understood the Old Master well enough; she grasped his arm and smiled, "I hadn’t expected such big events to occur in South America upon my return, and it’s quite fine for Big Brother to inherit the family business. Yet, outsiders have constantly speculated that the eldest and second brother don’t get along, coupled with Uncle’s issues, they’ve even presumed the Leclair Family is falling apart. I figured we should take this opportunity to host a lively event so those backstabbing scoundrels can see clearly that the Leclair Family is still a solid iron board. If they want to bully us, they better gauge their capabilities first."

Bessie’s statements touched the Old Master’s heart. Even though he rarely went out, he was keenly aware of how ugly the rumors outside had become.

The eldest grandson was indolent about inquiries, the second grandson preoccupied with exterminating parasitic families, the youngest granddaughter’s reputation had spread far and wide in the past, and the eldest son was in prison. The Old Master felt that maybe all the misfortunes had been concentrated in recent years.

Having been a prestigious family for hundreds of years, yet in his hands, it had met such a plight. The Old Master had always felt guilt toward the ancestors. Listening to Bessie’s proposal, he sighed with emotion and, leaning on his cane, declared loudly, "Fine, let’s make it lively. With this old man here, those old fossils wouldn’t dare step on our heads."

Bessie suppressed a smile and nodded quickly.

Bessie spoke to the Old Master about some specifics, but he, feeling impatient, told her to handle it herself and to seek Ignatius Leclair and Nathan Leclair if anything was missing. Then he went to the courtyard to meet his darling great-grandchildren.

Once the Old Master left, Bessie’s smile disappeared completely. Seeing Ignatius at home and Delphine occupied with the two little ones, it was hard to get a chance for conversation, so she planned to stay for dinner.

"The heart of a woman is most poisonous. When a woman decides to be vicious, she’s more ruthless than ten men combined." Nathan Leclair watched as the Old Master, like an old child, played with the adorable little ones. Glancing coldly at Bessie, he said, "Whether you’re truly targeting Reginald Yeager or pretending to, grandfather’s health hasn’t been good these years; he even had to undergo surgery recently. If your antics upset him, I will definitely not spare you."

Bessie and Nathan Leclair had been at odds since childhood, particularly as Bessie had once schemed against Nathan when they were younger.

When they manage to speak a sentence courteously to each other, that’s considered an accomplishment.

Bessie sneered casually, "I never thought you’d be such a dutiful son. If my plan backfires, you and Big Brother are still here; what’s there for me to worry about? Jocelyn Yeager, that dog, isn’t just my target; you all wish to act but can’t, merely employing me as a tool." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

For the past three years, whenever Bessie closed her eyes, all she saw was the man’s cold, disdainful expression. He had manipulated her into an accident, made her pregnant, and then forcibly took her child away. He had destroyed everything of hers. The deeper the obsession since childhood, the deeper the hatred.
