    Chapter 2146


    Liam immediately noticed something wrong. He asked Mateo fiercely, "What do you mean?"N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    "Calm down. "Mateo put away his gun and ced it back around his waist. "They broke the rules and barged into the orchard. Plus, they hurt Lh''s child. So, I locked them up for the time being."


    He appeared calm, as if he was discussing what he had eaten for dinner. He didn''t feel that he had been over the line.


    "Go to hell!" Liam finally failed to hold himself back. He rushed over and grabbed Mateo''s neck fiercely. "You can harm me, but how dare you harm them!"


    At the same time, Mateo''s subordinates raised their guns and aimed them at Liam. The recently eased atmosphere immediately became tense again.


    "Hey, don''t!" Amber, all tensed up, braced herself to try and stop them. Even so, she was mentally exhausted.


    "What? You want to strangle me?" Mateo was fearless. He grinned deviously and teased," Cool it. I just locked them up, but they didn''t suffer. They''re fine. If you harm me, though, I can''t be sure about their condition."


    "You conniving dog!" Liam trembled angrily. However, he could only let go of Mateo since he knew perfectly well what a person thetter was. He demanded solemnly, "What do you want?''


    "What do I want? You know Lh''s status in the fort. She dotes on her only son, but your friends hurt him. I could only carry out my duty and lock them up. You couldn''t even save thern if Lh got then instead. Don''t you think?"


    Mateo spread his hands, proving himself innocent. He acted like he wasn''t the culprit, but a kind person who had sought justice for Renee and L.


    Lh held a high status in the fort because she was Benjamin''s younger sister, she was second to only him in the fort. It was also because Macsen Klein, her husband, held significant military power.


    Macsen was the only one who managed all the armed forces in the fort. In a savage ce like the fort, strength ruled it was only realistic. Even Benjamin had to show Macsen some respect sometimes.


    During these two years, the Jenkinses were busy expanding their forces. Macsen was


    fighting in the nearby country with his men, while Lh stayed in the fort to take care of the children.


    After so many years, Lh had only one son. On top of that, she was currently five months pregnant. Everyone in the fort protected her with great care, and wouldn''t antagonize her or her son.


    Everyone knew they would end up miserably if they got into a fight with Lh and her son. It would be considered good if they were shot to death. In the worst case, their limbs would be cut off and they would be made into beggars-their lives would be an endless abyss.


    "That''s impossible!" Amber realized how serious the situation was, but she was still full of doubts. She carefully added, ''Ms. Everheart and Ms. Osborne are nice and friendly. They wouldn''t harm Lh''s child. I''m sure there''s a misunderstanding.''


    "Well, what should I say about that?" Mateo touched his chin, sounding ambiguous." Opinions differ. Maybe the culprits think it''s a misunderstanding, but the victims think it''s the truth. I have yet to inform Master about this, so I temporarily locked them up. As to how to handle them, it all depends on Lh."
