Chapter 1619
“Mrs. Lewis, is there anything else? If not, I’ll take my leave. Sonny is still in the mall. I need to pick himup.”
Deep down, Liberty was slightly bitter about it.
She had never thought of being in a relationship with Duncan. However, in the face of Mrs. Lewis’srequest, it was only natural to feel bitter.
All Liberty did was rent Duncan’s store. Besides Duncan being good friends with Zachary, Duncan hadhelped her a lot, which was why she treated him enthusiastically. Even so, she had never thought ofbeing with Duncan, yet she was compelled to leave.
She did not do anything wrong, so why must she leave?
“You may take your leave. Be careful while riding on the road since there’s heavy traffic,” Mrs. Lewissaid with fake gentleness.
Liberty took the key to her e–bike before she bade Mrs. Lewis goodbye. Then, she rose to her feet andleft.
Soon after Liberty left, Derek came in.
Seeing his wife seated in a corner, he walked toward her.
“How was the talk? It ended so quickly?”
Derek saw Liberty leave with a calm expression, which he could not decipher.
He had no idea how the discussion went between the two women.
“I told her what I came here to tell her, and our talk ended just like that. It didn’t work out. She’s asstubborn as your son. She doesn’t think it’s her problem…” After falling quiet for a moment, she added,“Though it’s true that it’s not her problem.”
She let out a long sigh before she told her husband about the conversation between Liberty and her.
At last, she said, “Liberty said she can guarantee that she won’t marry into our family if I disagree.
“Darling, do you think Liberty is cunning? Since she won’t marry into our family if I disagree, Duncan isgoing to be at odds with me. This will affect my relationship with Duncan.”
“You disapprove of their relationship anyway. Duncan and you are always in conflict. It’s not Liberty’sfault.”
Mrs. Lewis gasped.
Indeed, she had never approved of Duncan and Liberty’s relationship. However, after Liberty made thepromise, Mrs. Lewis felt that she had been schemed against. It would be untrue to say that Libertyschemed against Mrs. Lewis, though. It just did not feel right to Mrs. Lewis.
“Darling, why don’t we do something to our son? Let’s see if we can relocate the main business ofLewis & Co. to another city.”
Derek said, “Are you under the impression that Duncan has only started his company? Lewis & Co. hasmade it to one of the top five corporations. His net worth is currently tens of billions of dollars. A fewyears later, it might exceed our family’s wealth.
“What’s more, Lewis & Co. and York Corporation have been working closely. Do you think you can dealwith Lewis & Co.? Duncan and Josh are good friends. You’re well aware of the Buchams‘ background,
aren’t you? If Duncan finds out that we hatch a devious plot against him in order to stop him from goingafter Liberty, what will the consequence be? Have you thought of all these?
“He might turn against me. Duncan might seem rough, burly, and casual, but he’s actually the kind whoholds grudges.”
“Since all these methods won’t work, am I going to watch. Duncan go after Liberty and let her marryinto our family eventually?”
Derek said, “Liberty has promised you, hasn’t she? As long as you disagree, she definitely won’t marryinto our family. You should be cruel and leave your son to be single.”
