The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Chapter 2150

Liam was no fool. He immediately understood the profound meaning behind Renee's words and stopped saying too much.

'Fine, be good. You guys are just taking a rest. I'll handle this well. Wait for my news."

He knew very well that the conclusion would be the same regardless if Renee and Leia had offended Luneth's son or the child of an ordinary villager. Mateo simply wanted to use that method to control him.

The only way to solve this was to defeat Mateo. However, based on the current situation, Mateo had a lot of followers in the fort. It would be difficult for Liam to defeat him.

Luckily, Liam wasn't an easy target either. He had been winning people over these days. That, and he was close with Benjamin's other foster sons. If both parties were to get into a fight, he still had a chance to win.

After confirming that Renee and Leia were fine, Liam left the cell. Mateo was waiting outside, grinning triumphantly.

He sneered sarcastically, "What do you think? I was telling the truth. Aren't they fine and well-fed? I told the guards to give them anything they wanted. We're treating them like guests. Since we're friends, how are you going to thank me?"

"Yeah, I should thank you, Liam sneered, suppressing his desire to beat Mateo up. "What do you say about getting a drink tonight?"

Mateo agreed readily, snapping his fingers. "That's just what I want."

Amber sighed in relief when she saw them get along well. Then, she whispered, "I'm glad to see you guys make peace. We can always talk it out. I'll plead with Aunt Luneth. We can't let this get to Dad and Uncle Macsen. We'll take care of this ourselves."

"Well, we'll have to see how Liam behaves," Mateo said profoundly. "I hope to resolve this privately. It'll be troublesome if Master or Macsen learns about this. I won't be able to help even if I want to. You're aware of their tempers and what they can do."

"Yes, I'm aware. We must keep this a secret. We can't let this be known!" Amber nodded seriously.

Macsen doted on his son, and Benjamin valued his nephew. If his nephew was hurt, anyone involved would be punished. Since his nephew's head was injured, the consequences were imaginable.

Hence, the most important thing was to pacify Luneth and secretly let Renee and Leia go. Only then can the problem be solved in silence.

'Don't worry! No one dares to say a word about this affair without my order." Mateo patted his chest. He was suddenly acting like he was on their side.

"If not, Liam wouldn't have found them even after looking for them the whole afternoon. Don't worry about my authority," he said brightly and righteously.

Amber regained her confidence in Mateo, and said gratefully, "I knew it-you're the most reliable and loyal person I've ever met. If it weren't for you today, Dad would have learned about this. Then, it'll be all over!"
