The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Chapter 2156

Because of Liam's declaration, he and Mateo failed to reach a consensus.

Mateo's gaze grew colder and more sinister, and he glared fiercely at Liam. "Fine. There's nothing to talk about between us."

"No, you're wrong." Liam calmly swayed the wine glass. "You can get down on your knees and say sorry. Maybe I'll let you off by then!"

"How dare you!" Mateo could no longer take it-he pushed all the cutleries on the table to the floor and pointed angrily at Liam. "You refused my kindness. I won't go easy on you!"

*Just come at me. I'll wait," Liam shot back provocatively.

He knew Mateo well-the man was wicked and cautious, but also cowardly. Under these circumstances, he wouldn't act recklessly. Hence, Liam wasn't afraid to infuriate him.

Renee was right. Mateo had done so many things to control Liam. As long as Liam remained calm, Mateo couldn't do anything to Renee and Leia.

"You think I won't do that?" Mateo clenched his fists and snarled fiercely, "I'll break one of their fingers! I'll make you see that I'm not joking with you. I'm serious!"

'I'm sure you can do that," Liam snorted, "but you know their status and background. Plus, you know very well how Renee and Joanne got away back then. If you aren't afraid to involve more horrible people, go ahead and do it. Then, I won't be your only enemy,"

"Are you threatening me?" Mateo narrowed his eyes.

He pondered what Liam had said and started to waver.

Mateo knew how Renee and Joanne got away despite their stressful situation. It wasn't because Amber had threatened to kill herself. Rather, a more powerful force from the Hunt family in Beach City had pressured Benjamin.

The Hunt family was the head of The Great Eight of Beach City. Also, the power of Hunt Enterprise couldn't be underestimated. Even Benjamin had to show Stefan some respect. Mateo knew he couldn't afford to offend Stefan, especially given that he still lacked power.

If the Hunts wanted to protect Renee and the issue got bigger, Mateo wouldn't gain anything.

"I can't do anything to your favorite woman, but your sister's different," he finally said.

He couldn't bring himself to admit defeat. Hence, he braced himself and tried threatening Liam instead.

"Yes, your family is powerful with a lot of properties. But at most, you're just rich. You're helpless when you go against people like me, who fight with weapons. If not, you wouldn't be stuck here for such a long time. Your family didn't even get anyone here to help you out. You seem excellent, but you're actually powerless. I think it won't be difficult for me to break one of your sister's fingers."

"Yes, you're right." Liam sighed and pretended to be in a dilemma. "My family has been businessmen for generations and is an old family with a long history. We do decent work and rarely get in touch with chaotic forces. It's also an easy target. However, my sister's boyfriend isn't simple. He's not someone you can target easily."

"What? She's got a man on her side, too?" Mateo frowned grumpily. "Who's on her side? I never knew. Are you pulling my leg?"

"Xavier Stuart, the president of Universal Entertainment, the top entertainment company in Aeos, Liam said calmly. "Maybe you don't know who he is, but I'm sure you've heard of the famous Stuart family, the greatest shareholder of the three large TV stations in Aeos."

"The Stuart family?!" Mateo repeated.
