Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 975 Liam stayed upstairs for a long time.
Indeed, Masonâs words had come as a huge blow to him.
He was wavering, but Lea would be very depressed i f he helped Mason. Even his grandparents would be disappointed in him.
He often found them treating him unfairly and was dissatisfied with it, but sometimes, he had to admit that Shaun was more capable than him.
Having said that, he did not wish to play second fiddle to Shaun forever.
In Shaunâs eyes, Liam was just someone whom he could banish anytime.
Amid his agonizing dilemma, Suzie suddenly gave him a call.
âDaddy, why havenât you come to pick me up? Many kids have already left.â
He abruptly came to his senses, only to find that it was nearly 5:00 p.m. âOkay, Iâll be there in a moment.â
On his way there, he received a call from Old Madam Campos.
By the time he arrived at the preschool, it was already 5:30 p.m. With a pout, Suzie got into his car.
âUncle Liam, Mommy still hasnât contacted me. Where did my scummy dad bring her? Am I not going to see Mommy anymore? I miss her so badly.â The little kid was about to tear up as she spoke.
âNo. Shaun mustâve taken your mom away to live i n their own little world.â Liam could not help but think it over and continue, âPerhaps your mom will come back with a baby brother or sister for you.â
âThatâs unlikely.â Suzie was shocked to hear that. â My mommy has already married Uncle Wesley. If sheâs pregnant with my scummy dadâs children⦠I donât think itâll be good.â
Liam coughed lightly. Of course, that would not be a good thing. However, it was possible for Shaun to do such a thing considering his mental illness.
âAnyhow, donât worry. Shaun loves your mommy, so he wonât hurt her.â
Only then did Suzie feel at ease. âUncle Liam, where are we going? This doesnât seem like the way back to the manor.â
âWeâre going to have dinner in the Campos familyâs house, â Liam explained, âYour great-grandma called me and told me that she wants us to have dinner there.â
âAh, I donât want to!â Suzie immediately shook her head. âI donât want to go there. Please send me back to the manor first.â
âSuzie, youâll be fine. All of them think that youâre my daughter. Also, your great-grandpa and great-
grandma are there.â Liam reassured her in a soft tone.
âNo.â Suzie pouted. âThey donât like me. Every time I go there, they ignore me. Last time, it was Jill who pushed me first, but Great-grandma told me off and didnât scold Jill at all. She even said that the Hill family didnât teach me well and called me ill- bred.â
Liam found it unbelievable. Jill was the daughter of Masonâs cousin, and she always played around in the Campos familyâs house.
Suzie supposedly shared closer ties to the Campos family. Nevertheless, why did Old Madam Campos favor her relativeâs granddaughter instead? She went too far with those remarks.
âSuzie, could there be a misunderstanding?â
âThere isnât any misunderstanding. I even overheard Jill asking the other kids in the Campos family not to play with me. They like to play with Benny. They even said that Iâm annoying.â
Suzie said angrily, âThey thought I didnât hear it, but I have good hearing. I heard it all.â
âWhoâs Benny?â
Suzieâs words bewildered Liam further. There were a lot of relatives, servants, and children in the Campos family. However, he had never heard of anyone named Benny.
âI donât know. Iâve never seen him.â Suzie shook her head. âAlso, whenever I go to the Campos familyâs house, Great-grandma wonât allow me to touch the things there. I can feel that they donât like me.â
As Liam listened to what Suzie said, he felt increasingly upset.
He was not upset with Suzie but with the Camposes.
Although Suzie was not his biological daughter, she was his niece, after all. He was fond of her because she was clever and cute. Upon knowing that his grandmother treated Suzie this way, he was overwhelmed with disappointment.
At the same time, Suzieâs words seemed like a bucket of cold water that was poured over him.
