Chapter 616

Duncan spoke up. “I know I made things hard for you in the company because I personally hired you,but you don’t have to worry about what others say. Just do your own thing.”novelbin

“Mr. Lewis, I want to resign.”

Duncan’s eyes deepened as he asked, “Why do you want to resign?”

Liberty was silent, then she raised her head to look at Duncan and said, “Back then, I was told that Icame in through the back door, and I was secretly targeted by everyone. However, I put up with it inorder to get a divorce and win custody of my son.

“It was because I needed a job to fight for Sonny’s custody.”

“So now that you’re divorced and you’ve won the custody of your son, you want to resign?” Duncanpicked up from where she left off. “You haven’t even completed your probation period.”

He added, “You’re a capable person, and you’re good at your job. I believe that you know this too, butwhatever they say about you, you don’t have to listen to them as long as you have a clear conscience.”

“They’re also saying that I covet you, Mr. Lewis. I don’t want to harm your reputation.”

Where there were people, there would be trouble.

Liberty knew that.

She used to be a CFO herself, and she was hired to work in Lewis & Co. by Duncan himself. Everyoneclaimed that she came in through the back door. Her superiors were on guard against her, afraid thatshe would rob them of their position.

That was why everyone in the office was secretly targeting her, rejecting her, and always in cohorts toland her in trouble.

Furthermore, Duncan was a single noble. If he paid too much attention to a woman, that woman willbecome the thorn in the side of many people.

Liberty did not want to fight with them, so she wanted to resign and go with her plan to start her ownbusiness.

Duncan paused before saying, “Who said that?

“Liberty, you just do your job. I’ll deal with them. If anyone spreads rumors behind your back about youtrying to covet me, I’ll fire them all. Don’t think I’ll let them go just because they have numbers on theirside. If they irritate me, I can fire all of them!”

He gave Liberty this job because of Zachary anyway, so technically, it was not completely false to saythat Liberty entered through the back door.

However, it was outrageous to say that Liberty was coveting him. She had just divorced. How could shecovet him?

Duncan was a busy man and did not want to care about the petty in–fighting among his employees.

However, he still had to take care of it if it went too far.

“Thank you, Mr. Lewis, but I still want to resign. I got a sum of money from Hank, so I want to invest inopening a small shop and starting a restaurant.”

Liberty insisted on resigning.

Since Duncan said what he said, she dared believe that as soon as she walked out of this office, hisorder would be conveyed to every corner of the company and the rumors might not reach her earsanymore.

However, the others‘ opinion of her would still be skewed.

She did not want to drag Duncan’s reputation down with her.

“In that case, have you found a store?”

Duncan thought about it and said, “There’s a street called Westring Avenue 2 that’s near our office. Wehave to pass by that street to get to our building. Half of the stores on that street are mine. There’s a lotof traffic there, and apart from Lewis & Co., many small companies and factories are in the vicinity. It’llbe quite suitable for you to open up a restaurant there.

“There’s an old couple who are too old to work anymore. They’ve retired and are going to move out in afew days. If you really plan to go through with it, I can rent that storefront to you.”

Liberty was stunned. “Half of the shops on that street belong to you?”

Duncan asked rhetorically, “Why not? I have nowhere to spend the money I earn, so I bought a fewmore stores to rent them out. The monthly rent is pretty substantial, so I’m using money to make moremoney.”

Liberty was speechless.

The world of the rich is something unfathomable to Liberty.

“I usually don’t bother with the stores and hire someone to collect the rent for me, but I

have to pass by there every day when I commute, so I’m aware if there are any empty lots.”

Aunt Audrey said that Duncan was excellent at making money.

She was not wrong about him.
