the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart-Chapter 804: Miss Delphine Might Have Misunderstood Mr. Li’s Assets
"This film is a suspense story, are you sure you won’t end up losing money?" Delphine hesitated. Ignatius Leclair was no longer the heir of the Leclair Family, and even though he had saved up some money before, he was accustomed to a life of quality, spending freely. Delphine could clearly foresee herself having to support the family in the future if he continued to squander like this.
Maximilian found himself stumped by the question, holding back from saying that this yacht was purchased with a hefty sum after Ignatius read the script for Delphine’s new film. Perhaps, Delphine misunderstood Ignatius Leclair’s financial situation?
Loss? That word didn’t exist in Ignatius’s vocabulary. Having followed Ignatius for many years, Maximilian knew that his sharp yet astute vision ensured that there was no money in this world Ignatius couldn’t earn—only money he wanted or didn’t want to earn.
Although the Leclair Family’s impressive status over the years was based on their shipping rights, after Ignatius took over, the Southern seas’ maritime nations became renowned. The aristocratic circles were gossiping that Ignatius had lost the shipping rights, causing his status to plummet to that of a young noble relying on family shelter. Little did they know, Ignatius had long since shifted his focus from shipping to new energy technologies, with oil and minerals no longer catching his eye.
While Ignatius spent his days at home cooking and taking care of the kids, it was Nathan Leclair who worked overtime, handling affairs day and night.
Maximilian thought of his brother Arthur White, who was exiled numerous times and worked like a dog, silently lighting a candle in his heart.
"Ignatius said, ’Her filming techniques for this movie are traditionally beautiful, even if it’s a suspense drama, it will be shot uniquely.’" Maximilian repeated Ignatius’s words. Thinking back on Ignatius saying this with his eyes half-closed in a charming but proud manner made him feel a sharp pang of envy.
Everyone was caught off guard, abruptly fed a spoonful of "dog food," and looked at Delphine with envy in their eyes.
"Delphine, it’s white, so dreamy and princess-like!" Chloe Winston had already spotted the yacht docked at the port. As it was brand new, it attracted many tourists and onlookers at the port.
The staff responsible for welcoming people were already waiting there, smiling as they guided everyone onto the ship and gave a brief introduction.
"Our yacht’s style is modeled after 19th-century British design, crafted by master designers to reflect every detail and make you feel like you’re in the most illustrious era of Southern maritime history," the yacht’s manager proudly declared.
Everyone gasped in awe, and Delphine, seeing that every detail of the yacht was impeccable, nodded continuously, feeling relieved, and mentally credited Ignatius for his major contribution.
Once the yacht arrangements were set, Delphine scheduled to start filming in three days, instructing Kyla Zamora to notify the actors, then began preparing for the film production.
While Delphine was buried in the preparations for the film, a relatively notable event occurred in the Southern seas.
With the new management, the Southern aristocracy thought that with Ignatius Leclair stepping down, everyone would have the chance to rise further.
No one paid much attention to Nathan Leclair, the sole heir of the Leclair Family’s second branch. As peace prevailed for several days, and families indulged in dreams of getting involved in shipping rights and taking a share, Nathan Leclair swiftly and ruthlessly took over a smaller aristocratic family in the Southern seas, the Zamora Family. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
The methods were brutal and swift, directly swallowing their assets, and exposing the unethical and disgraceful deeds the Zamora Family had done over the years.
Suddenly, a wave of commotion swept through the Southern seas, with everyone secretly wondering, could this second young master of the Leclair Family be a hidden tiger pretending to be a sheep?
