Chapter 181

Just as I thought, Neil wasn’t one to take a hit without giving one back. I genuinely thought he’d just got beaten up, and the guy walked away without a scratch.

Cooper, having been a bystander, surely knew what went down, but he seemed hesitant to speak and even glanced at me.

That got me a little scared. I was seriously worried he’d say it was because of me again.

Cooper cleared his throat and said, “Raymon said some nasty things about Irene. Nell had a few drinks in him, so he lost it.”

Mitch quickly tried to calm her down, “Honey, don’t get mad. It was Neil’s fault in the past. Hasn’t he paid the price now? Let’s not bash him; he’s already injured”

Stella just rolled her eyes.

Sean was very calm when he said this as if it was just casual conversation.

“You remember correctly, Neil was never quiet back then. After his divorce, these past two years, he’s actually settled down. He really brought it on himself.” Alicia didn’t mind Sean adding fuel to the fire. In fact, she was fanning the flames.
