Billionaire’s Missing Darling

Chapter 724

“Ian!” Kelly was a little anxious. She tugged at lan’s sleeve and wanted to tell him she was alright, and he thus did not need to make a big fuss because of her.

However, before she could speak, Ian lowered his gaze and raised his hand to gently stroke the top of her head, full of guilt. “I’m sorry, Kelly. I didn’t protect you well and let you feel distressed.”

Kelly immediately shook her head. No, she did not feel distressed. It was just a small matter.

Ian squeezed her palm and comforted her. “Don’t worry. I’m around.”

No one had expected Ian to make such a clear and decisive stance.

Joshua frowned slightly and said coldly, “Ian, stay. I may be old, but I still take charge of this family.”

At this point, Joshua paused for a moment, glanced around, and said meaningfully, “If anyone is dissatisfied, you can move out on your own.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell into a silence as quiet as the

grave.

The chattering crowd just now fell silent.

With her head down, Lucia bit her lips tightly, not allowing anyone to see her reddened eyes.

Unlike the shock and fear of everyone, Sharon felt a touch of envy in her

heart.

Such an undisguised and clear-cut protection was enviable.

Nothing was special about Kelly, and she had a straightforward personality. Unexpectedly, she was so lucky that Ian was so protective of

her.

After staying in the living room for a while, Ian brought Kelly to the East Court.

As soon as they returned to the room, Kelly sat on the bed straight away. She covered her chest with her hands and said with lingering fear, “Ian, you almost scared me out of my wits just now!

“Actually, I didn’t suffer any grievances at all. It was just a small misunderstanding with Lucia.”

Ian smiled and looked at Kelly. He did not say anything.

Of course, he knew it was just a minor misunderstanding. Cyril would have reported it to him long ago if something big had happened.

The reason why Ian made such a big fuss today was to tell everyone that he was very protective of Kelly.

He wanted these people to weigh their capabilities and see if they could bear the consequences of bullying Kelly and angering him.

These were all theories that Ian had just learned. Before coming, he had read many books about how daughters-in-law should get along with their in-laws.

It was mentioned that it was the husbands’ fault if their wives did not get along well with their in-laws.

Husbands should step up early to clearly defend their wives and quash any ill intentions in their early stages.

After changing into light and simple clothes, Kelly and Ian went to the dining room for lunch.

On their way, Kelly suddenly thought of something. “Ian, you’re so awesome. When Aunt Hanna complained to Grandpa just now, my heart was pounding so hard. I was so anxious but couldn’t think of a way out.”

Speaking of which, Kelly’s eyes shone brightly. “In the end, you opened your mouth to speak and turned the situation around, pointing out Aunt Hanna’s and Lucia’s inappropriateness. You’re amazing.”

Ian raised his hand and scratched the tip of Kelly’s nose with a faint smile in his eyes. “What a silly girl!”

The environment he was in when he was young was much more complicated and dangerous than the Phil family.

“However…” Kelly’s face turned solemn. “You’re still too impulsive. It’s not a big deal for me to suffer a bit of grievance. The key is Grandpa. Your tone is so harsh, and Grandpa will be unhappy. Other members of the Phil family will also have opinions about you.”

Ian did not say anything.

He had strived for his current status to protect the people he cherished, regardless of everything.

He was no longer the little poor thing he once was. He was grateful for the kindness of the Phil family and would remember it. However, it was impossible for anyone who wanted to take advantage of that kindness to domineer over him and mistreat the people he cherished.

At this moment, the others of the Phil family were also discussing today’s

matter.

Lucia’s eyes were red as she shouted angrily, “This is too much, too much! Ian, how could you treat me like this!”

Hanna held her daughter in her arms tenderly and comforted her. “Lucia, don’t be angry. Let’s not be angry with that kind of person. Ian has been eccentric since he was young. He’s withdrawn and insensible. Such a person won’t last long. We’re not like him.”

Walton frowned. Hearing his wife’s words, he sneered. “Do you think Ian is still that poor little thing previously? He’s now the head of the Walter family.”

Hanna disagreed. “So what if he’s the head of the Walter family? Didn’t he receive help from the Phil family? Without the Phil family’s support, he has no power to contend at all.”

“Such a narrow-minded view!” Walton said coldly, “The Phil family did indeed help him, but if he didn’t have the capability himself, do you think Father would waste his efforts? Ian is not simple. He became the head of the family at such a young age and even imprisoned his own biological

father. He’s a ruthless person

“You two stay calm and don’t provoke him

Hanna pursed her lips
