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.

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!
