the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart-Chapter 866: The Wedding Ring Must Be Worn

Ignatius Leclair noticed and slightly curled his lips, reaching out to touch her small face. Seeing her instinctively tilt her head, the smile on his lips faded, and his phoenix eyes were deep as ink. He said hoarsely, "Go to sleep."

When he finished speaking, the man went into the bathroom to take a shower.

In just three days, it would be Bessie Leclair’s father’s thirtieth wedding anniversary.

This was the first banquet held by the Leclair Family since they had suffered heavy blows. Coupled with the rumor Ignatius Leclair spread earlier, many prominent families learned that the Leclair brothers were not at odds as the rumors suggested, but rather shared a brotherly friendship, taking everyone by surprise. Their regrets ran deep.

The young fellow from the Leclair Family had played them for fools.

They had thought Nathan Leclair was an inexperienced, rash young man and that Ignatius Leclair, despite his decline, would remain in power. As long as the Leclair Family was divided internally, they could exploit their resources continuously. But look at what Nathan Leclair did after ascending: he felled three well-established families and boldly declared that a new era required a fresh approach, clearly intent on shaking things up!

Now, upon learning that Ignatius Leclair might have been the mastermind, all these families felt both anger and fear.

Hence, the wedding anniversary organized by Bessie Leclair became extremely important. Those who received invitations were eager to attend and gather information, while those who did not were trying every means to obtain an invitation.

In the afternoon, Arthur White delivered dresses and jewelry to the Leclair manor.

Seven dresses were provided, along with seven matching sets of jewelry.

"Young Master Leclair said tonight is special and asked Miss Delphine to choose a dress and some jewelry," Arthur White said with a smile.

Having been with Ignatius Leclair for so many years, Delphine Carter had never seen him so generous, and she couldn’t help but feel astonished. In truth, Ignatius Leclair was quite generous; he once invested ten billion in her acting career according to Kyla Zamora. However, he never paid much attention to women’s dresses and jewelry.

The only jewelry he had given her seemed to be a necklace and a wedding ring.

Delphine glanced at the jewelry box inside, each piece was of a socialite level, glittering and slightly ostentatious.

"Jewelry is unnecessary; it’s heavy. Even if I dress simply, no one would dare belittle me under the title of Mrs. Leclair," Delphine said calmly, choosing only the black off-shoulder gown.

The black dress was inconspicuous at night. Unfortunately, all the dresses Arthur White brought were long gowns, making it somewhat inconvenient.

Arthur White was slightly surprised when he heard this; Delphine Carter was probably the least materialistic woman he had ever seen, often seeming to regard money as dirt. Perhaps after years of being married, she had gradually been influenced; this woman from a small town now exuded an aura increasingly akin to that of a young master, her demeanor seemingly ordinary but actually methodical, revealing a subtle elegance reminiscent of a noble woman cultivated by a century-old family.

Even he dared not be careless in his words.

"Young Master Leclair said if Miss Delphine doesn’t like the jewelry, it’s fine, but the wedding ring must be worn," Arthur White gently reminded, then handed over the jewelry box taken from the villa.

Delphine accepted the box and took out the wedding ring from inside. She didn’t really like wearing accessories, and even her wedding ring was often left in the cabinet.

"This diamond ring was designed by Young Master Leclair himself, custom-made by a renowned master in the United Kingdom. That master’s ancestors had been jewelry masters used by the Royal House," Arthur White said with a smile.

Delphine was slightly stunned. Ignatius Leclair designed it himself? She lowered her eyes and put on the wedding ring.

By the time the makeup artist arrived to style her, it was nearly six o’clock.

Nicholas and Benjamin were still too young and stayed at the Leclair manor, while Delphine timed it correctly to attend the banquet together with the elder master of the Leclair Family.
