Chapter 502



Joel’s expression became even more horrible.

Before he could say anything, another voice said, “Mrs. Hunt is right.”

Joel was stunned. He turned around and saw Ian come out.

He was in good health and no longer needed to be hospitalized. Today, Lily had finally agreed to his discharge. She couldn’t wait to go home to be reunited with her granddaughter and daughter. However, she did not expect to see Mrs. Hunt right after her return.

Especially after hearing what Mrs. Hunt said, he was furious.

Ian endured the discomfort in his heart and pushed the wheelchair. Although he was seated and very thin, his aura was very strong.

Mrs. Hunt felt a little uncomfortable when she saw him.

Although Joel was very powerful when it came to running the Smith Corporation, he was still a grandson. Just like Justin, as powerful as he was, he was still a child before her.

Therefore, she could still suppress him.

However, Ian had been in power for many years. He was very dignified, especially then, when Justin had not yet grown up and his son had not lived up to expectations. In fact, the Smiths had always suppressed the Hunts until they could barely breathe.

Therefore, he was very afraid of Ian.

A smile immediately appeared on his face. “How’s your health, have you been discharged?”

Ian said nonchalantly, “I’m not going to die yet. At least I’ll be able to support my daughter for a few years to keep her from being bullied again at such a young age.”

When Mrs. Hunt heard this, she immediately said, “How can that be, who dares to bully her daughter?”

Ian looked at her and smiled. “Mrs. Hunt, we both know that women are physically weaker than men. When they marry someone, don’t they become someone else? But as long as I remain a father, I will not allow my daughter to be belittled.”

Mrs. Hunt narrowed her eyes. “If she wants others to respect her, her family background is one thing, but her character and capacity must be passable, right?”

At the word ‘ability,’ Ian raised his eyebrows and smiled even wider. “Your words have touched the bottom of my heart. In the future, the person my daughter is going to marry will undoubtedly admire her from the bottom of his heart. He will respect and love her. If there is the slightest slight, I will not consent to it.”

Mrs. Hunt narrowed her eyes still further and smiled, “If only for her sake, I don’t think anyone in New York would dare to despise her. But Miss Smith’s daughter… her name is Cherry, isn’t it? Well, with the Smiths protecting her, she should be all right…”

The Smiths were protecting her….

Ian scoffed. “Yes, Cherry has nothing to do with the Hunts, is that what you mean, Mrs. Hunt?”

Mrs. Hunt smiled, “You can’t mean that. Miss Smith and Justin are together now. Of course, Cherry is also half Justin’s daughter. It’s not that the Hunts can’t afford to raise a child. It’s just that their position complicates it a bit.” Ian interrupted her, “I see what you mean. Don’t worry about this. I like Cherry very much. I wouldn’t bother the Hunts to look after her.”

His words caused Mrs. Hunt to let out a sigh of relief.

Truth be told, even though Justin had Pete, with his status and his face, what woman wasn’t within his reach?

So many wealthy ladies were fighting to marry someone like him!

But he ended up falling in love with a woman with such a burden, it would be so embarrassing to get the word out!

This was what Mrs. Hunt had had on her mind lately.

As the Hunt matriarch, it was good that Nora had been raised in the country.

In the future, she simply would not be allowed to interfere in the family’s financial affairs.

They would treat her as if they were raising a flower.

Anyway, Pete would grow up very fast. In the future, she would find a suitable wife for Pete and let her replace Nora. After all, Nora was Ian’s daughter. With her status here, she was worthy of the Hunts! But, that would be the case if Nora didn’t have that daughter!

Now that Ian would be taking care of the little girl, everything would be easy. A genuine smile finally appeared on Mrs. Hunt’s face. It seemed to her that the Smiths were actually very sensible. However, it made sense after some thought. Nora was definitely very fortunate to be able to marry Justin. The Smiths should feel very grateful.

She felt an inexplicable sense of superiority and didn’t notice the sneer in Ian’s expression.

After Ian solved this big problem, Mrs. Hunt felt she should express her position. Therefore, she smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Ian. I will treat Miss Smith well in the future.”

When she said this, Ian put on a surprised expression, but then realized. “The Smiths and the Hunts can consider themselves friends. If Mrs. Hunt matches my daughter on any occasion in the future, it is only fair that you look after her.”

Mrs. Hunt?

She was taken aback and suddenly felt there was something odd about this sentence.

What did she mean by ‘if it coincides on any occasion’…?

She said directly, “What occasion? Are you planning to let the two of you move in after your marriage?”.

Ian was even more surprised. “What marriage?”

Mrs. Hunt was even more confused. “After Miss Smith and Justin get married…”

Ian frowned. “How could the two of them get married?”

Mrs. Hunt was flabbergasted. “Aren’t they together?”

Ian laughed. “They’re just two young people in love. Who hasn’t fallen in love before they get married? Yet I have not accepted their marriage!” Mrs. Hunt was even more confused. “But they’re already engaged!”

“Engaged?”

Ian was even more surprised. “Why didn’t I hear about the engagement, when, where, did they exchange rings?”

Mrs. Hunt: “!”

He frowned. “You…you’re not okay with them being together?”

Ian looked down. “Of course I don’t. Lord Hunt is not a good match. Even if my daughter marries him, I’m afraid he won’t be able to solve his family’s complicated situation. Haha, our family has no internal conflicts. Nora grew up in the countryside. She is simple-minded, but she can’t take on the role of Mrs. Hunt!”

Mrs. Hunt: “…”

She suddenly felt a little delighted!

It wasn’t her separating Nora from Justin-it was Ian!

She didn’t want Justin marrying someone who had a daughter and raising someone else’s daughter. It would be too embarrassing to let it get out.

She smiled instantly, lifting her chin.

Before she could say anything, Ian pointed to the room and said, “By the way, weren’t you going to see Pete? Don’t let him keep you.”

I was waiting for Mrs. Hunt to get a slap in the face!

Mrs. Hunt nodded and pushed the door cheerfully before entering. The lights in the room were on and the two children were asleep on the bed.

The one in front of her had an exquisitely cute face – wasn’t that Pete?

She reached over and touched the child’s cheek. At that moment, the child on the other side suddenly turned ….
