Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1176

Chapter 1176

Ian was a mild and gentle man. He quietly worked his way up from being a university lecturer to a professor. His academic theories were solid, and his lecturing style was humorous and interesting.

He was also a simple and honest man. When he came across students from financially disadvantaged families, he would even help them out from his own paycheck so that the student could focus on their studies.

With that, he had built for himself a stellar reputation.

Ian Lemmington rarely lost control of his temper, and would always choose to reason and patiently explain things to others.

His wife was similar.

However, this wasn't the case with the Jennings.

The Jennings...

Enzo Jennings!

"If it weren't for your brother, my daughter would never have gone overseas!" Ian said, his eyes filled with tears.

He had a head full of white hair.

Hope and yearning for his daughter were all that kept him alive.

The thought of his own child made his lips tremble.

As Diana held Mrs. Lemmington, she could tell the old lady felt miserable as well. Thus, she hurriedly brought a cup of warm water. She patted Mrs. Lemmington’s back, and encouraged the latter to sip slowly on the water to calm down.

When Ian saw his wife in a better state, he looked gratefully at Diana. But when he turned to look at Lina, the grateful smile on his face gave way to never before seen disgust.

"My daughter was tricked by your brother!"

Lina laughed derisively. "How could that be? I’ve never heard from my brother about a sister-in-law. What's more, my brother has high standards for a partner."

She looked disdainfully at the Lemmingtons' family portrait hanging on the wall. "Look at that huge birthmark on your daughter's face!"

Tutting, she sneered, "She's terribly ugly! I'm sure my brother would never fancy her!"

Ian choked on Lina's rude comments, and struggled to catch his breath. He was so angry that he grabbed the chair next to him, the veins on his arm popping.
