Delphine thought about this matter and felt an inexplicable sense of unease she couldn't quite articulate. Why would someone go through all this trouble just to do Constantine Stewart a favor and negotiate a deal?
Chloe Winston pushed a dessert toward Delphine and said, "Director Gu, have I ever told you that I grew up in an orphanage?"
Delphine's eyes widened slightly and she shook her head.
"I've been at the orphanage for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my biggest fear was going hungry," the young woman said with a bright, crescent-eyed smile. "When I was twelve, Constantine Stewart adopted me and promised I'd never starve again. So I nodded and went with him. As long as I had food, I wasn't afraid of anything."
Delphine hadn't expected Chloe to have such a rough past. No wonder her personality carried a wild streak yet also a maturity that her peers lacked—it moved Delphine deeply.
