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 him up.”
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’s request, it was
only natural to feel bitter.
All Liberty did was rent Duncan’s store. Besides Duncan being good friends with Zachary, Duncan had helped her a
lot, which was why she treated him enthusiastically. Even so, she had never thought of being 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. Lewis said with fake
gentleness.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLiberty took the key to her e–bike before she bade Mrs. Lewis goodbye. Then, she rose to her feet and left.
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 as stubborn 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 is going 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’s fault.”
Mrs. Lewis gasped.
Indeed, she had never approved of Duncan and Liberty’s relationship. However, after Liberty made the promise,
Mrs. Lewis felt that she had been schemed against. It would be untrue to say that Liberty schemed 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 of Lewis & Co. to
another city.”
Derek said, “Are you under the impression that Duncan has only started his company? Lewis & Co. has made it to
one of the top five corporations. His net worth is currently tens of billions of dollars. A few years 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 deal with Lewis &
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCo.? 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 going after 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 who holds
grudges.”
“Since all these methods won’t work, am I going to watch. Duncan go after Liberty and let her marry into our family
eventually?”
Derek said, “Liberty has promised you, hasn’t she? As long as you disagree, she definitely won’t marry into our
family. You should be cruel and leave your son to be single.”
Mrs. Lewis was speechless.
She could not bring herself to allow her son to go after Liberty.
However, she could not bring herself to be cruel and disapprove of her son’s relationship with Liberty forever.
Parents would always be the one who relent first while in a conflict with their children.
“I’ve told you earlier that it’s no use meeting Liberty. The problem lies with your son. Even if you approve of Duncan
to be with Liberty, Liberty won’t be with him since she doesn’t love him. “Liberty isn’t even interested in your son!”
