After sending Joshua to the front hall, Ian stopped and stood to the side, giving the seat beside Joshua to the Phil family.
Kelly quickly walked up to Ian, raised her face, and said in a low voice, “I just found out that the painting Olivia gave me was from the Phil family.” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Ian raised his hand and stroked Kelly’s head. He said calmly, “It’s all thanks to your painting this time, Kelly. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to find the person who framed me so quickly.”
“Is it Orson?” Kelly frowned. She really could not figure it out. ‘Isn’t Orson Ian’s second uncle? There is no grudge between the two of them. Why did he frame Ian? It is simply baffling.’
“Heh.” Ian chuckled and said nonchalantly, “Stupid people do things without reason. Investigating the reason why they did these things will only waste time.”
Ian never thought about delving into why Orson went through all this trouble.
All Ian needed to know was who had done it. That was enough.
From the moment he learned that it was a fake painting, Ian imm tely set up a perfect trap in his heart.
Instead of wasting time investigating, it was better to beat the person behind it at his own game and let him take the initiative to expose hi
Ian lowered his gaze and drowned out all his thoughts. Since he knew w did it, he knew what to do next.
Kelly leaned against Ian and looked up at him a few times. “This guy is really smart. How does his brain work? He could come up with a perfect plan in such a short time. His intelligence was intimidating.’
Ian noticed that Kelly kept looking at him. He was a little puzzled and looked at Kelly in confusion.
Kelly grinned. “Ian, you’re so smart.”
Upon hearing it, Ian was stunned for a moment. ‘Is Kelly worshiping me? Indeed, intelligent men are the most charming. Kelly’s gaze is full of admiration.’
Ian was so proud of himself.
Ian would only reveal his emotions when facing Kelly. The previous tense atmosphere even forced Orson to give himself away, but the expression on Ian’s face did not change at all.
However, Kelly’s gaze of admiration was enough to make Ian overjoyed.
Orson was one step behind. As soon as he arrived and entered the front hall, he saw Ian’s arrogant smile.
Orson sneered in his heart. ‘Hmph! What a despicable person. I have thought that he is very steady. I didn’t expect that he would not be able to hold it in anymore and reveal his thoughts. To think that I have thought that Ian could not be underestimated. Unexpectedly, I think too highly of him… Heh!’
Orson’s gaze was filled with contempt.
With one hand in his pocket, Orson walked unhurriedly behind Ian and whispered, “You’re nothing much!”
Ian turned around and saw Orson.
Ian was so focused on Kelly that he did not hear what Orson said.
Ian glanced sideways and asked faintly, “Huh? What did you say, Uncle Orson?”
There was still a smile on Ian’s face. In Orson’s eyes, it was especially dazzling.
Ian looked completely arrogant.
Orson gritted his teeth. His gaze was sinister. “Ian, you’re amazing. You actually beat me at my own game and schemed against me!”
Ian’s eyes moved slightly. He understood.
Ian chuckled softly. His exquisitely handsome profile seemed like a work of art, and his demeanor was regal, akin to that of a monarch.
“Uncle Orson.” Ian said nonchalantly, “What are you talking about? Why don’t I understand? It’s just a joke. Why are you still unwilling to let it go?”
Orson snorted. “You are still pretending. You must hate me to death now.”
Ian looked up lazily and said indifferently, “Uncle Orson, people have to be humble. Don’t overestimate yourself. Currently, I wouldn’t say I hate you. You’re not qualified for me to hate. At most, I find you a bit annoying.”
