Second Chances Protecting Mrs. Hall

Chapter 56

Emma knew that in the past, people used to address Liam as “Mr. Hall” with a sense of reverence.

But now, the “Mr. Hall who was addressed with a sense of reverence openly was Brad,

Looking dapper, Brad held a champagne glass. “Long time no see,” he said. “Welcome to the Hall family’s home.”

Emma raised her eyebrows and said, “Mr. Brad, you got that wrong. You should say “welcome back to the Hall family’s home.”

She thought, ‘Liam is the Hall family’s eldest son. What is Brad getting at by saying “welcome to the Hall family’s home“*”

Brad chuckled and said, “It’s just a phrase. Emma, your nitpicking over words makes it seem like there is a distance between Liam and us.”

Liam said coldly, “Today is Dad’s birthday. You had better not cause trouble. Also, my wife is young, and she’s badass. If you pick a fight with her, be prepared to get schooled.”

Sure enough, Brad’s expression turned cold.

Simon didn’t hear it, and neither did the other guests. They all appeared to be enjoying themselves.
