Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 719
“You noticed it too?“
Lea laughed bitterly. “Liam, what kind of person do you think your dad is?“
Liam opened his mouth for a second, but he remained silent in the end.
Three years ago, everyone had suspected him when the pictures of Shaun in the mental hospital were leaked. Only Liam himself knew that he was innocent.
When he learned that the news originated from the Campos family, he had more or less guessed that it was Mason who did it.
His dad may appear gentlemanly and uninterested in everything, but what was seen on the outside might not be real.
Unfortunately, no matter how much he asked, Mason would never reply to his questions directly.
All those years, Liam had felt suffocated working in Hill Corporation. However, Mason had never mentioned anything about helping him at all. The time Mason spent with him was not even as much as the time Mason spent with Charlie.
Whenever Liam went to the Campos family, the people there would be friendly to him on the surface. There was once when he wanted to have a stake in his second uncle’s new project because he thought it was not bad. However, his uncle made an excuse saying that he had already contracted out the project to other people as it did not bring many profits.
Liam found out afterward that Second Uncle did not contract out the project but let a nephew from his wife’s side have a stake in it.
A biological nephew turned out to be inferior to a nephew from his wife’s side.
Not only that, but one time when he went to the Campos family’s place for New Year’s when he was young, he saw that Granny had his favorite candies in her pocket. Granny said the candies were finished when he asked for some, but he saw her secretly giving the candies to Charlie.
He was her grandson too.
He eventually thought that maybe it was because his last name was Hill.
Therefore, although the Campos family had gradually become Australia’s second- most influential family, Liam still kept a distance from them.
