Chapter 723
His heart skipped a beat.
It was so painful that Ian gritted his teeth secretly and took a while to
recover.
He could not care less about Lucia and hurriedly turned to Kelly. He looked at her up and down nervously and asked
worriedly, “Did they bully you? Were you angry yesterday? Why didn’t you tell me?”
After saying that, he grabbed Kelly’s hands and swept his gaze over her face carefully, not missing any hint of
abnormalities.
No one had expected Ian to care so much about Kelly.
Everyone was stunned and took a while to come back to their senses.

“Misunderstanding!” Ian frowned deeply. He looked very dissatisfied and coldly reprimanded Lucia, “Since you
invited Kelly, why didn’t you check beforehand? A misunderstanding actually happened. How did you treat your
guest?”
Lucia had initially wanted Ian to be disgusted with Kelly’s narrow- mindedness. She did not expect to be criticized in

She was very aggrieved. “Ian, I’ve already said it’s a misunderstanding. Why are you still blaming me?”
Ian looked cold. “Since you lack social skills, you should avoid socializing, let alone hosting gatherings.”

there’s a misunderstanding between family members. There’s no need to be so strict.”
After saying that, Hanna turned to Joshua and complained, “Dad, look at lan. He’s making a mountain out of a
molehill. You dote on him so much, but in the end, he doesn’t respect Lucia at all and the Phil family. If what he said
just now spreads, what will outsiders think of Lucia?”
Kelly had been sitting quietly on the chair. Upon hearing what Hanna said, she immediately looked at Joshua

Was this the legendary domestic conflict, and one should get popcorn?
What should she do? Joshua must not be disappointed with Ian.
Ian was straightforward and did not understand these twists and turns at
all.
What must she do so that she could Ian?
For a moment, Kelly was anxious and worried. She hated herself for only practicing martial arts previously. After
making a debut, she focused entirely on improving her acting skills without consideration for domestic
conflicts.
Just as she was feeling anxious, Ian spoke unhurriedly.
He did not look at Joshua but Hanna with a faint smile. “Aunt Hanna, do I have to make myself clear? Kelly grew up
in a simple environment and has a simple nature. However, Lucia is different. She grew up in a grand mansion
mingling with many people and has a calculating mind.
