Chapter 1184
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Enzo stopped the car, then let Lina out before alighting himself. He walked toward Ianâs house, and stood right outside the door.
What a familiar place it was.
Lina didnât notice the disdain in Enzoâs eyes at all, and mumbled, âThose two old fogies were so arrogant! They even said that their ugly daughter had a fling with you.â
The moment these words escaped her mouth, she knew they were inappropriate. She hurriedly added, âNot a fling, but âYouâre not wrong to say that,â Enzo said, not minding Linaâs vulgar choice of words.
Both of them didnât excel in school and werenât exceptionally cultured people. They were considered academic failures by the worldâs standards.
Despite that, they lived comfortable lives thanks to their parents and the Jennings familyâs wealthy background. But when the Jennings family became bankrupt a few years ago, they descended to the bottom rung of the social ladder.
Heavens knew what Enzo did to climb up from that bottom rung to where he was right now.
He had heard worse than Linaâs vulgar words. âYouâre not wrong to say that. I did have a fling with their ugly daughter.â
The moment Enzo said that, the door opened even before Lina could react in shock.
A figure popped out from insideâit was Ian himself!
Ever since Julian and Diana left, Ian had been keeping his wife company in the room as she recuperated. He was on the way to the yard to keep their laundry when he saw someone approaching their house.
He felt uneasy, especially after the incident with Lina, so he decided to take a look.
That was when he overheard what Enzo said.
Ian pointed at Enzo with a trembling finger. âYouâre inhumane!â
He raised his hand, and slapped Enzo. Although he didnât manage to hit Enzo right in his face, it was enough to infuriate Enzo.
A vicious gleam filled Enzoâs eyes as he held his cheek that was scratched by Ianâs nails. He spat on the floor, and yanked the old man out of the door.
âYou old fogy! Iâm a human! But youâll soon no longer be one!â
He was going to turn this old man into a ghost today!
With that, Enzo lifted his foot to kick Ian.
Just then, the bodyguard that Julian arranged beforehand stopped Enzo. âMr. Jennings, please show some self- respect.â
Ian knew immediately that this man was someone Julian left behind. He felt even more grateful to Julian.
However, Enzo disregarded the bodyguard completely. He stretched his arm out to call for all his bodyguards in the cars.
Very quickly, the team subdued the two bodyguards Julian had left behind.
âMe? Self-respect?!â Enzo patted the two bodyguardsâ faces, then slapped them a couple of times.
That was for Lina!
âSelf-respect, my ass!â He laughed insolently. âIâm afraid even Mr. Fulcher wouldnât ask me to show some self- respect when he sees me!â
With that, he shot his bodyguards a meaningful look. They almost crippled Julianâs bodyguards.
The air was filled with the sound of physical combat, sending chills down peopleâs spines. This time, it was Julianâs bodyguards who were on the receiving end of the beatings.
Very soon, both of them were covered in wounds and injuries.
Seeing them in such a terrible plight, Ian felt miserable. His eyes welled up with tears. He looked at Enzo, and said in panic, âStop fighting! Stop fighting!â
Enzo naturally ignored Ian. Instead of asking his bodyguards to stop, he even instructed them, âHit them where it hurts!
Just leave them with one final breath.â
Enzo wanted Julian to know that he and his family werenât to be trifled with!
Ian couldnât bear to see others implicated because of him. Whatâs more, the two bodyguards were people Julian sent to protect him and his wife.
He didnât expect Enzo to come back so soon with Lina, and behave so viciously at that!
Ian couldnât possibly allow something bad to happen to people who protected him so fiercel
