the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart-Chapter 894: The Rules Left by Master Li Must Not Be Abolished

Delphine held the little girl in her arms and turned off the light, not wanting them to see her swollen eyes.

Suddenly, she could imagine the handsome and stern man bending over, praising the little girl for being like a glutinous rice dumpling, his face undoubtedly gentler than ever, with a fleeting smile.

Early the next morning, Arthur and Brock arrived at the villa.

This was a habit they had developed over the years. Whenever Ignatius worked from home, they would come every morning to report on various matters and developments to ensure informed decision-making with zero errors.

"Miss Delphine, the rules Ignatius left behind cannot be abolished. Henceforth, one of our think tank members will be by your side to report daily," Arthur said.

The man wore a white shirt, black trousers, gold-rimmed glasses – the standard attire of a high-level executive assistant.

Brock, whose background is in law, generally handles the group’s legal consultations and related matters, while confidential files are mostly handled by Arthur and Maximilian.

Delphine nodded, and Arthur reported nearly a week’s daily affairs in one go.

Even though Arthur tried to make it as simple as possible, there were still many professional subjects that Delphine found hard to understand, especially when they talked about matters regarding the South Sea.

"After Jocelyn was jailed, the Yeager Family fell into pieces. The collateral branches divided the Yeager Family’s companies and assets. After Leo returned to the Yeager Family, he infuriated the old Yeager gentleman to death," Arthur said in a low voice. "No one took care of the old man’s funeral until our Second Young Master couldn’t stand it anymore and intimidated Leo, which finally got him to arrange the funeral. The memorial service is tomorrow. Will Miss Delphine attend?"

Delphine was speechless. After a long pause, she nodded and said, "I’ll accompany grandpa then."

She hadn’t expected the Yeager Family to be in such disarray. In those days, the Wade Family had just immigrated, while the Yeager Family disintegrated, even angering the elders to death. Such a family cannot stand in the South Sea any longer; their fate is the saddest.

Initially, Delphine did not plan to attend. She had no connection with the Yeager Family, but the old gentleman would definitely attend, being over eighty now, and she was concerned.

Arthur continued discussing other minor matters. Overall, after the downfall of the Yeager Family and Nathan’s thrice interventions, the South Sea was now peaceful, with no one daring to question the Leclair Family, nor willing to be a scapegoat.

"Did Ignatius usually manage all this information?" Delphine asked.

"Actually, we’ve already filtered this information once, only picking out what’s crucial and unavoidable. When Ignatius was around, the reports were even more detailed and comprehensive."

Delphine nodded, feeling the pressure immensely. She suddenly realized how Ignatius handled so many matters every day for over a decade, understanding the subtleties of the South Sea’s aristocracy, staying updated with global developments, and synthesizing all information to make correct judgments and issue commands. Such tasks are impossible without extraordinary intellect, keen insight, and vast knowledge.

"Miss Delphine, there’s no need to rush. You will become skillful over time. Ignatius said that you will do great," Arthur whispered.

Delphine gave a bitter smile, instructing them to organize all the documents and then called Nicholas and Benjamin to pack up and prepare to return to the South Sea.
