the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart-Chapter 591: 24-Hour Service for You, Does He Think He’s a Gigolo?

Chapter 591: Chapter 591: 24-Hour Service for You, Does He Think He’s a Gigolo?
Ignatius Leclair saw Wilbur Turner’s relentless appearance and let out a cold sneer, releasing Delphine. Thinking about the kiss marks he’d left on her back, his phoenix-shaped eyes darkened even further. Her back was indeed beautiful—if it bore his exclusive mark, would she still dare to wear such revealing clothes and flirt with other men?
The thought flashed through his mind, and the man’s intentions stirred.
"Delphine, are you okay?" Cassius Turner’s face turned utterly grim as he pulled Delphine out of the corner. With a slightly confrontational gaze toward Ignatius, his whole body tensed up. If it weren’t his parents’ special night, he would’ve dragged this man outside for a fight.
Delphine felt a burning sensation on her back, so she subtly leaned against the wall and said quietly, "I’m fine."
If someone saw the kiss marks on her back, it’s likely she’d be branded with all sorts of scandalous titles by the next day.
"Professor Turner, I have something to attend to. I need to leave now. I’m sorry, but please inform your parents for me." Her complexion turned slightly pale. Seeing Ignatius and Cassius here had already drawn considerable attention.
"I’ll take you home." Cassius quickly offered, his gaze swept across her back, and his body shuddered. His face turned a deathly pale as he looked toward Ignatius, unconsciously clenching his fists.
Ignatius narrowed his eyes, coldly staring at the second young master of the Turner Family. He said indifferently, "What? Planning to cause a scene at your parents’ 30th wedding anniversary?"
Thirty years of marriage—some people’s unions might not even last that long.
If Cassius made a move now, he’d personally destroy this otherwise meaningful celebration.
Delphine looked at Ignatius—aloof, superior, and manipulating hearts—and let out a cold laugh. She did something out of character, turning to Cassius with a gentle demeanor and saying, "Then I’ll trouble Professor Turner to escort me home."
Cassius’s gloomy expression softened, now radiating tenderness like dew dripping from his brows.
"Not trouble at all. 24 hours at your service, anytime you need."
The second young master Turner escorted Delphine out with high spirits, leaving behind an oppressive man with a grim face, downing his wine in one gulp.
"24 hours at your service?" What does he think he is—a gigolo? Saying such disgustingly shameless words really tarnishes a man’s dignity. Ignatius felt morose. When he saw Melody Cloud approaching, he didn’t wait for her to speak and said coldly, "I’ve asked Yeats Howard to take you back to the Howard Family. I have matters to attend to. I won’t be returning to the Howard Family tonight."
Having said that, the man turned and left.
Melody was left standing there, her expression stiffened. Bitterness simmered under her smile, and she wished she could tear Delphine Carter’s face apart. Why did men seem to lose their minds every time they saw her? That woman had already had a child—how could she possibly compare to Melody?
A dark shade flickered in Melody’s eyes. As long as Delphine Carter existed, Melody would never have her moment to shine. One day, she would make it so this woman disappeared for good.
Delphine walked out of the hotel, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. Facing Cassius once again, she didn’t know what to say, so she simply stayed silent.
"Delphine, did he force himself on you?" Cassius helped her buckle the seatbelt and asked angrily.
Delphine remained silent.
Cassius reached out and held her hand. Provoked by Ignatius, he had lost his usual composure and said in a low voice, "Delphine, if he keeps bothering you, you must tell me. My parents are very fond of you. I can give you everything you want."
Delphine instinctively pulled her hand back from the warmth of his broad palm and lowered her gaze to take in the Imperial City’s dazzling nightscape. In a quiet voice, she said, "Professor Turner, I can no longer have children in this lifetime, and I don’t intend to get married again."
