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.
Kelly was stunned, too, and quickly explained, “No, they didn’t. It’s just some misunderstanding.”
“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 the end.
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.”
After saying this coldly, Ian ignored Lucia. He instead turned to Kelly and carefully reminded her, “This girl is no good. In the future, don’t bother with her.”
The moment he said this, Lucia’s expression changed.
If this were to spread, wouldn’t it make others ridicule Lucia for being

insensible and incompetent?
This was indeed not a good reputation
Hanna, Lucia’s mother, couldn’t help but say, “Tan, Lucía is your cousin and a family member. Just talk it out if 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?”
