Chapter 84
Ethan quickly spotted Ines and couldn''t help but frown. He cut through the crowd, casually wrapped
his arm around her waist, and brushed away the loose hair on her face.
The swelling on one side of Ines'' face was ringly obvious. His eyes were filled with concern.
"Izzy, what happened? Does it hurt? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
Ines was deeply moved by his unconditional support and could clearly feel that he was not ming
her for causing a scene in public, but just worried about her injury. She shook her head and smiled,
"I''m fine, don''t worry about me."
Sheughed, but the pain in her mouth corner was unbearable, making her gasp. Ethan''s eyes
turned colder.
Jacob timely walked over, looking at Ines'' disarray, couldn''t help but frown, his voice still gentle,
"Izzy, are you okay?"
Ines slightly curled her lips towards Jacob, "I''m fine, thank you for your concern." As soon as she
finished speaking, everyone was a bit stunned, realizing that the usually overlooked Ines carried
some clout, as the mayor seemed to favor her a lot. But they never heard that the mayor had a
niece.
Then there was only one possibility...
Some people seemed to have caught a whiff of something unusual.
Be was always carefree and indifferent to everything around her. The moment she saw Luis, she
rushed over and hugged him, "grandma, grandpa, she hit me." She pointed to the shocking
handprint on her cheek.
Luis, although doting on his granddaughter, understood her character very well. She was always
doing as she pleased. It seemed that this time the other party did not want to back down.
What concerned him more at the moment was the identity of the woman in Ethan''s arms.
Old Mrs. Dotson did not pamper her granddaughter like her husband Luis did, she sighed, shook
her head, and knocked Be on the head a few times, "You little troublemaker, always stirring up
trouble."
Be was extremely aggrieved and looked pitifully at Old Mrs. Dotson, "Grandma, why are you
never on my side?"
"If I were on your side, you would have turned the world upside down." Old Mrs. Dotson said sternly,
looking genuinely angry.
Luis ordered a waiter to bring some ice, then apologized to Ethan and Jacob, "Jacob, Ethan, I''m
really sorry, I spoiled my granddaughter, she''s very willful. I will look into this matter. May I ask who
this is?"
Jacob had a warm smile on his face, looking at Ethan, "Let''s have Ethan tell you himself." His
purpose was to let everyone quickly realize Ethan''s identity.
People naturally understood, this was so-called intimidating the opponent.
Hearing this, Ethan lifted his head, a forced smile on his handsome face, "This is my wife, Ines.
Izzy, this is Old Mr. Dotson, Luis Dotson and his wife, Adeline Dotson."
Ines nodded, her mouth slightly upturned, and greeted the two old people, "Old Mr. Dotson, Old
Mrs. Dotson, hello."
"Hello, youngdy." Adeline said affectionately.
Luis, although he had been through ups and downs, did not react for a while. It wasn''t until Adeline
tugged at his sleeve that he came back to his senses, "Hello, Izzy."
After Jacob and Ethan spoke, everyone at the scene was stunned, and the venue became
incredibly quiet. Many people knew about Ethan''s identity, but as the president of the Meyer Group,
Ethan was always mysterious and rarely attended events in person, only a few people had seen
him.
Aiden''s eyes widened, he had seen this man before, but he was driving a normal car, how could he
be the president of the Meyer Group, and a man of such status was Ines'' newlywed husband. Jaime
was also stunned, he felt that Ines was very professional and experienced during her job interview,
he also found out that she was Aaron''s partner by chance, and treated her differently. He knew from
her resume that she was married, but he didn''t expect her husband to be so influential.
Amelia was equally shocked, her face full of disbelief. Emma hid in the crowd and clenched her
fists, of course she knew what Ethan''s identity and status represented, why could she regain such a
high position after she had embarrassed her, jealousy, unwillingness, and resentment surged up.
The person with the biggest emotional change was Hunter, the poor guy he took for granted, turned
out to be of such stature, thinking of how he asked Ines to leave him not long ago, she must have
beenughing at him in her heart.
"Ethan, I don''t seem to have heard your grandfather mention that you''re married." Luis asked,
feeling regretful. The two families had a good rtionship, and he had watched Ethan grow up. He
was always satisfied with his character and abilities. Even if Ethan was thirteen years older than his
own granddaughter, he still wanted to match them at this banquet.

It seemed that there was no chance now. Thinking this, his gaze wandered between his own
granddaughter and Ines. Both had a look of disarray on their faces, but one was full of anger and
grievance, while the other stood tall and clear-eyed, calm andposed, even when her rescuers
arrived, she didn''t show any sign of triumph, not arrogant or impetuous, just standing there quietly.
Compared to other girls, his own granddaughter had a lot to learn. Ines was the one who was fit to
stand by Ethan''s side.
"It''s been a while, my wife and I never had a wedding." Ethan exined.
Be looked at Ethan holding Ines all the time, being very loving towards her, she was very upset,
and softly called out, "Ethan."
She had always liked Ethan and knew that her grandfather nned to match them at this banquet.
She had even dressed up for this, but it didn''t earn her a nce from Ethan. Ethan just nodded
without any expression, then asked, "Be, what happened just now?"
