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 ster reputation.


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


    exin things to others.


    His wife was simr.


    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 olddy felt miserable as well. Thus, she hurriedly


    brought a cup of warm water. She patted Mrs. Lemmington’s back, and encouraged thetter 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!”


    Linaughed derisively. “How could that be? I’ve never heard from my brother about a sister-inw.


    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 rudements, and struggled to catch his breath. He was so angry that he


    grabbed the chair next to him, the veins on his arm popping.


    He yelled at Lina, “None of you Jennings are decent folk! Take your oranges and get out of my house!


    My family will never ept anything from you!”


    Lina was furious to hear the professor scold her.


    No one dared to treat her this way, especially not recently!


    This damned old man!


    If Julian weren’t around, she would have taught them a harsh lesson!


    Yet Julian was in fact around, and she didn’t dare behave so arrogantly before him. All she could do was


    grit her teeth and suppress her anger.


    Still, she remembered what her brother had told her. “My brother said that someone in your family loves


    oranges, and that I must deliver these to you.”


    With that, Lina red at the old professors and stomped on the oranges.


    A wicked grin shed across her face as she said,” Whatever it is, I’ve delivered these oranges to you. In


    the future, don’t even think about letting your ugly daughter smear my brother’s reputation!”


    She waved her fists at them, threatening, “If I hear it, I’ll make you two wish you were dead!”


    “Lina Jennings!” Julian roared. He red at her, wishing he could rip her to shreds.


    Lina started trembling with fear and fled the scene immediately, leaving the pile of smashed oranges on


    the floor.


    Seeing the mushed pulp and broken orange skins on the floor…


    How was this a gift?!


    Lina was clearly here to disgust and insult them!


    Noel hurriedly reappeared to clean up the mess. ncing in the direction that Lina left, he asked, “Mr.


    Fulcher, shall we send someone to give her a stern warning?”


    “No need,” Julian said. “Just find someone to fix Professor Lemmington’s door, and leave two of our


    bodyguards outside their vi.”? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    Ian’s tense face rxed the moment he heard that Julian was helping him. He kept insisting on paying


    for the door, and urging Julian to tell him the repair cost.


    This young man treated him so well. He didn’t want Julian to go to such extent for him.


    “And the bodyguards…” Ian exchanged nces with his wife, and waved his hands. “We don’t need


    them.” Ian sighed. “We’re advanced in years, and have one foot in the grave. We don’t have a lot of time


    left. Perhaps it’s a good thing if the Jennings familye looking for trouble with us.”
