Chapter 277



.

Warren’s appearance brought the banquet to another small climax.

After all, this person had been living in seclusion for over ten years. However, the fear of being dominated by him in the business world still lingered in the hearts of the bigwigs.

They all greeted him with respect. Only when they saw that Justin was bringing his official girlfriend, they all made way for him.

In the distance.

Yvonne was stunned to learn that her father was there.

Rachel exclaimed, “Miss Smith, has your father come to pick you up?”

Yvonne wasn’t sure.

However, Rachel was resolute. “The Hunts have disappointed her. Mr. Hunt had just announced his bride, but your father dragged himself away despite his illness. He must be here to help you get justice.”

When Yvonne heard this, her eyes lit up.

She quickly made her way to the entrance and bumped into Warren on the way.

Warren said, “Sis, I couldn’t help you vent your anger earlier. I’ll help you vent later. I am famous for being protective. I will definitely protect you in this matter.”

However, Yvonne bit her lips and didn’t hold out much hope.

Ian was famous for being protective, but Justin had already declared a few years ago that he wouldn’t marry her. Ian knew that, so he had no reason to come seeking justice for her.

So why had Dad come all of a sudden?

He didn’t have time to think about it. He walked over and stood behind Ian. She took the servant’s wheelchair very matter-of-factly and called out, “Dad.”

Ian nodded at her.

He had done his best for this adopted daughter of his, but perhaps Yvette’s betrayal back then made him very indifferent to favors.

Not to mention Yvonne, she didn’t even want to bother with her nieces and nephews at home. Even Joel was used to her cold demeanor.

Yvonne’s heart sank. She felt that Ian was not one to show his face in public.

At this moment, a voice came from the crowd. “Mr. Hunt is here!”

The people who were originally surrounding Ian instantly cleared a path. Justin slowly approached with Nora and Nora’s little masked daughter.

The current heads of the two aristocratic families of New York were all here. Although Ian was old and sitting in a wheelchair, his aura was still powerful.

Not to mention Justin and Joel, who were like the midday sun. One of the two men was cold, and the other was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. However, both were important figures who could change one’s expression.

Therefore, the people around them went quiet and listened to their small talk.

Nora did not notice the expressions around her. At that moment, all her attention was snatched by Ian.

He was sitting in a wheelchair. His face was thin and he had wrinkles at the corners of his eyes because he was too thin. His age was showing, but his deep-set eyes and sharp facial features still gave off a mature charm and beauty.

Moreover, in Nora’s opinion, through his eyes and eyebrows, he had even regained his appearance from when he was young. She had thick eyebrows and large eyes. Under his double eyelids, his deep-set eyes were not inferior to any male celebrity now.

He might not even be inferior to Justin and Joel in terms of looks.

He was a handsome man.

Tsk.

Mom was so lucky!

Nora raised her eyebrows and sighed in her heart. She saw Ian’s gaze only flick past Justin gently before stopping on her.

His eyes were sizing her up, and his gaze was deep. If this were a normal person, she would probably be startled by his gaze. However, Nora just remained silent and said nothing. It was as if Ian wasn’t even looking at her.

She had great mental fortitude.

She really was a Smith A hint of admiration flashed through Ian’s eyes. Seeing her again, without realizing it the hostility he had earlier towards her had dissipated a little.

He was about to withdraw his gaze when Justin stepped forward and blocked Nora.

Ian: “?”

Only then did he raise his eyebrows and look at Justin.

When he saw Justin before, he always felt that this junior wasn’t bad. He and Joel were actually the most outstanding people of their generation and were much stronger than his own generation back then.

He didn’t expect him to be so protective of a woman.

He appreciated her.

Justin said kindly, “Uncle Ian, I didn’t expect you to come personally.”

Ian looked down and said calmly, “It’s Mrs. Hunt’s birthday, how could I not come.”

After saying that, he looked behind him. “Aren’t you going to introduce us?”

Only then did Justin step back. He pointed toward Nora and said, “This is my girlfriend, Miss Nora Smith.”

After saying that, he introduced Nora to him. “This is Mr. Ian Smith. You can follow me and call him…. Uncle Ian.”

With that, Justin’s eyes sparkled and he looked at Ian again.

Back then, after Nora pointed out to him that she was not Henry’s daughter, he had found someone to punish Henry and get back at him for abandoning his son and burying him alive.

After all, she hadn’t made a move before because of the fact that Henry was Pete’s biological grandfather. However, once she learned that the two were not related and were no longer linked, she stopped having qualms.

After that, he began to suspect that Nora’s biological father was Ian.

First of all, the love story between Yvette and Ian at the time had spread throughout New York. She didn’t believe that a person’s heart would change just by saying so.

Secondly, Nora’s last name was Smith. Wasn’t this enough to prove something?

Secondly, the people he had sent to protect Nora said that someone had pulled her hair, but Ian had stopped them and taken them away.

Justin couldn’t get them back.

At that point, he knew that Ian must have gotten someone to do a DNA test.

However, he couldn’t understand what was going to happen next.

In the case of families like theirs, it only takes a few hours to get a quick DNA test report. However, the Smiths had taken no action after that. They only let Quentin follow Nora secretly. First, it was to keep an eye on her, and second, to protect her.

Therefore, he was confused.

What was the result of the DNA report?

Was Ian Nora’s father?

Therefore, he hesitated to present it. He didn’t know whether letting Nora call him Uncle Ian was right or wrong.

Just when he felt conflicted, Ian looked at Nora with confidence. “Justin, may I have a private chat with Miss Smith?”

Private chat?

Justin’s eyes narrowed.

Ian’s attitude was too unpredictable.

If she was his daughter, he would have come to recognize her long ago. But if she wasn’t, would he pounce on her when love turned to hate?

As she thought about Nora’s safety, Nora said, “Okay.”

She took a few steps to the side.

Yvonne nudged Ian and wanted to follow. However, before she could push the wheelchair, she heard Ian order her, “Stay here and let Miss Smith take me.”
