He was not afraid!
In the Hayes family, the only person who could do whatever they like unrestrained, and still be able to get away with it scot-free, would have to be Ian.
His aunt meant nothing to him.
Once something struck his nerves, he would not care even if he had to tell it to his grandfather’s face!
It had never crossed Sabrina’s mind that her nephew would suddenly attack her like that. She did not see it coming at all when an ashtray came flying towards her and hit her squarely on the arm with a thud.
“Ian! What have you done? How dare you hit your own aunt!”
“Get out!”
Fuming, Ian yelled at Sabrina. Acting as Matteo’s protector, he came to his younger brother’s defense and shielded his tiny body firmly behind him. At the same time, his hands grabbed onto something else.
As the bodyguard watched, beads of sweat were already dripping down his face.
“Ms. Sabrina, let’s leave this place. Your life will be at stake if Mr. Ian throws the bowl at you,” the bodyguard said as he forcefully dragged the mad woman out of the room.
Indeed, the bodyguard was right. Ian had chosen a bowl from the table as his weapon this time around.
Ian was no pushover. Once triggered, there was really nothing the little boy would not do out of spite. If the bodyguard had not intervened, that bowl Ian was holding might have already smashed in Sabrina’s face.
Sabrina was eventually lugged out of the room, screaming all the way.
As soon as the crazy woman was gone, silence fell in the private room once more. Ian instantly turned around to check on his younger brother.
“Are you alright?”
“I’m fine!”
Matteo had recovered a while ago.
He was frightened at first. He had never met such a scary woman.
However, after Ian came to the rescue and then tossed the ashtray at the villain, Matteo was overjoyed. What’s there to be afraid of? Ian is here to protect me, isn’t he? Ian will beat the crap out of that mad woman!
Matteo gazed at Ian admiringly. “Ian, you’re so awesome! Do you often have to beat up that woman at home?”
Ian’s face turned stone-cold. “She doesn’t dare to mess with me!”
Nice!
In the end, Matteo did not take this matter to heart, because he knew that it had nothing to do with either Ian or Daddy, and everything to do with that sick aunt of theirs.
And so, the two children left the place, hand in hand.
Right at that moment, Sebastian arrived.
“Sebastian, you’re finally here! Do you know that your son almost beat me to death back there?”
Sabrina, who had been waiting for her brother in the lobby, immediately stormed towards Sebastian when she saw him coming. She showed him her bruised arm and began bombarding him with angry complaints.
Sebastian merely glimpsed at her injury.
