Second Chances Protecting Mrs. Hall

Chapter 216

Mateo didn’t address Liam as Mr. Hall. Instead, he called him by his name.

Liam looked down at him with a blank expression, not saying a word.

He should have respected and cared for Emma’s family. But knowing how much she hated them and how the had mistreated her over the years, he had no good feelings toward Mateo.

“I didn’t expect to see you here,” said Liam.

Mateo laughed awkwardly. “Liam, what are you saying? The hospital called me. As a father, how can I not come serious thing happened to my daughter?”

Liam ignored him. Despite Mateo’s show of concern for Emma now, a leopard never changes its spots.

He seemed to have reached his limit and didn’t want to waste more time with Mateo. He strode forward, took the bill f Mateo, and walked toward the cashier counter.

Mateo heaved a sigh of relief, thinking he had narrowly avoided paying costly fees.

But within seconds, Liam’s voice rang out, instructing Levi, “Get this man out of here!”

Levi had been displeased with Mateo from the start. So, he replied loudly, “Yes.” Then, he dragged Mateo out.

Levi also had a look of disdain on his face and thought, ‘Son of a bitch! One second, he was playing the sympathy card, claiming to feel remorse for his daughter. The next second, he was even unwilling to pay the medical fees. What a hypocritical jerk!
