Chapter 502 Mrs. Hunt Was Slapped in the Face!

Joel’s expression turned even uglier.

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

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

He was in good health and no longer needed to be hospitalized. Today, Lily had finally agreed to let him be discharged. He couldn’t wait to go home and meet his granddaughter and daughter. However, he didn’t expect to see Mrs. Hunt right after he returned.

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

Ian endured the discomfort in his heart and pushed the wheelchair over. Although he was sitting and was 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 managing Smith Corporation, he was still a grandson. Just like Justin, no matter how powerful he was, he was still her grandson in front of her.

Therefore, she could still suppress him.

However, Ian had been in power for so many years. He was very dignified, especially back then when Justin had yet to grow up and her son had failed to live up to expectations. In fact, the Hunts had always been suppressed by the Smiths until they could barely breathe.

Therefore, she was very afraid of Ian. 2001:ee0:4947:9710:8545:acf:7575:4316

A smile immediately appeared on her face. “How is your health? Have you been discharged?”

Ian said nonchalantly, “I won’t die yet. At least I can support my daughter for a few years to prevent her from being bullied again at such a young age!”

When Mrs. Hunt heard this, she immediately said, “How could that be? Who dares to bully your daughter?”

Ian looked at her and smiled. “Mrs. Hunt, we both know that women are physically weaker than men. When they marry someone, won’t they become someone else’s? But as long as I’m still a father, I won’t allow my daughter to be looked down on!”

Mrs. Hunt lowered her eyes. “If she wants to be looked at by others, her family background is one thing, but her character and capability must be passable, right?”

When he heard the word “capability,” Ian raised his eyebrows and smiled even brightly. “Your words have reached the bottom of my heart. In the future, the person my daughter is going to marry will definitely admire her from the bottom of his heart. He will respect and love her. If there is even the slightest bit of contempt, I will not agree to it!”

Mrs. Hunt lowered her eyes and smiled. “Even if it’s for your sake, I don’t think anyone in New York will dare to look down on her. But Miss Smiths’s daughter… she’s called Cherry, right? Well, with the Smiths protecting her, she should be fine…”

The Smiths were protecting her…

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

Mrs. Hunt smiled. “You can’t say that. Miss Smith and Justin are together now. Of course, Cherry is also half a daughter of Justin. It’s not that the Hunts can’t afford to raise a girl. It’s just that her status makes it a little awkward.” Ian interrupted her, “I understand what you mean. Don’t worry about this. I like Cherry very much. She wouldn’t be bothering the Hunts to take care of her!”

His words made Mrs. Hunt heave a sigh of relief.

To be honest, although Justin had Pete, with his status and face, which woman was not in his reach?

So many wealthy ladies were fighting to marry into their family!

But he just had to fall for a woman with such a burden. It would be so embarrassing if word got out!

This was what Mrs. Hunt had been struggling with recently.

As the matriarch of the Hunts, it was fine even if Nora had grown up in the countryside.

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

She would just treat it as raising a flower!

Anyway, Pete would grow up very quickly. In the future, she would find an appropriate 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 alas, if only Nora did not have that daughter!

Now that Ian had taken on the little girl, everything was easy. A genuine smile finally appeared on Mrs. Hunt’s face. She felt that the Smiths were really very sensible. However, it made sense after some thought. It was definitely Nora’s fortune to be able to marry Justin. The Smiths must have felt that they had picked up a huge bargain.

She felt an inexplicable sense of superiority and did not notice the mockery on Ian’s face.

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

When she said this, Ian made a surprised expression, but then he came to a realization. “The Smiths and the Hunts can be considered family friends. If Mrs. Hunt sees my daughter on any occasion in the future, it’s only right that you take care of her.”

Mrs. Hunt:?

She was stunned and suddenly felt that there was something wrong with this sentence.

What did he mean by seeing her on some occasion…

She said directly, “What occasion? Are you planning to let the two of them move out after their 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 stunned. “Aren’t they together?”

Ian laughed. “It’s just two young people in puppy love. Who hasn’t fallen in love before marriage? However, I haven’t agreed to their marriage!” Mrs. Hunt was even more confused. “But they’re already engaged!”

“Engaged?”

Ian was even more surprised. “Why didn’t I know about the engagement? When? Where? Did they exchange rings?”

Mrs. Hunt: “!!”

She frowned. “You… don’t agree with them being together?”

Ian lowered his eyes. “Of course not. Mr. Hunt is not a good match. Even if my daughter marries him, I’m afraid she won’t be able to resolve the complicated situation in your family. Haha, our family doesn’t have any internal conflicts. Nora grew up in the countryside. She’s simple-minded, but she can’t take on the role of Mrs. Hunt!”

Mrs. Hunt: “…”

She suddenly felt a little delighted!

This was not her separating Nora from Justin. It was Ian!

She did not want Justin to marry someone who had a child and to raise another person’s child. It would be so embarrassing if word got out!

She smiled instantly, her chin lifting.

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

He was waiting for Mrs. Hunt to be slapped in the face!

Mrs. Hunt nodded and pushed the door open happily before walking in. The lights in the room were switched on, and the two children were sleeping on the bed.

The one facing her had an exquisite and cute little face. Wasn’t it Pete?

She walked over and touched the child’s cheek. At this moment, the child on the other side suddenly turned around…
