Billionaire’s Missing Darling

Chapter 729

Lucia was initially hugging Joshua’s arm and looked at Kelly smugly. She had thought that Ian was going to reprimand Kelly to avenge her.

However, she heard this in the end.

She was dumbfounded and could not speak for a long time.

Only after a while did she come back to her senses and say in disbelief, “Ian, what do you mean? Are you getting someone to beat me up?”

Ian ignored Lucia and treated her like transparent. He only cared about checking on Kelly.

Lucia was furious and shook Joshua’s arm. “Grandpa, look at Ian!”

Lucia felt terrible this time. In the past, she had pretended to be aggrieved to appear pitiful and get her grandfather and the others to support her.

But this time, she indeed felt sad.

Ian lived with the Phil family for two years during his childhood. He was aloof but treated her well and he allowed her to follow him.

Lucia had always thought that she and Ian had a childhood friendship.

She did not expect Ian to have disregarded it completely.

Joshua patted the back of Lucia’s hand trying to comfort her.

He was reluctant to interfere in the matters among the younger generation.

Joshua did not care much, even if Kelly hit Lucia.

But Ian’s reaction caused Joshua’s expression to turn cold.

How could he ignore right and wrong and disregard kinship for the sake of a woman?

Joshua found this unacceptable.

“Ian!” Joshua said in a deep voice. He was obviously furious. “Grandpa has let your personal taught you to distinguish right from wrong. You can’t feelings dictate your actions.

“You can only walk far by being fair and just.”

“Ian?” Kelly looked up nervously.

Ian leaned over and kissed her forehead to comfort her. “Don’t worry.”

When he finished speaking, he held her hand and walked up to Joshua. He sounded calm, not affected by Joshua’s tone in the slightest. “Grandpa, I’ve come over to congratulate you on your birthday. I’ve prepared several birthday gifts and have wanted to send them to you on the day of the birthday celebration.

“Due to an expected incident today, I’d like to send them in advance.”

While he spoke, his sharply defined jawline nodded lightly, signaling Cyril.

Cyril understood and immediately went forward with a document.

What was that?

Joshua frowned and took the document, and his expression changed drastically only by reading the first page.

“Ian?” Joshua looked up, and his eye expression was full of shock.

As Ian was worried that Joshua would collapse from anger, a doctor immediately walked over the moment he raised his hand.

“Grandpa.” Ian’s tone remained the same. “I’ve invited a doctor over in advance to let him calm you down. Your health is the most important.”

Joshua’s gaze was complex, fixed tightly upon Ian, unmoving. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

For the first time, Joshua felt unable to see through this grandson.

The document in his hand was related to the evidence of Walton of the

Phil family evading taxes, creating fake accountings, and transferring the

Phil family’s assets.

Not only that, Walton had also driven people to death.

This evidence was all in the document!

Joshua had roughly flipped through it just now. It was densely filled with incriminating evidence.

The time, the place, and the details of the incident were clearly stated. If this information leaked out, even he could not protect Walton.

Joshua was always aware that his grandson was intelligent. However, he did not expect him to be this exceptionally intelligent.

Not only was he intelligent, but he was also cold. Apart from the people he cared about, he could not be bothered with anyone else.

Joshua closed his eyes and sighed. “Ian, your birthday gift is great!”

What was happening?

Everyone looked at each other in confusion and did not know what had happened.

Lucia was even more confused. She looked at Joshua with reddened eyes and said weakly, “Grandpa?”

Kelly had no idea about the document and what had happened to Joshua. Whatever it was, she did not want Joshua and Ian to have a grudge between them.

She thus said, “I won’t hit someone for no reason. Why don’t Grandpa ask her what she did?”

“Kelly.” Ian squeezed her hand, indicating her to stop speaking.

Kelly was puzzled. “Why?”

Ian said with a smirk, “Obviously, Lucia has set you up. You’re innocent and direct, and it’s only normal for you to be provoked momentarily.

“Grandpa can distinguish right from wrong. He will definitely stand up for you and get her to apologize to you.”

‘Eh?’

Kelly was a little confused. ‘Apologize to her?’
