of the Lewis family, became involved in a life of crime. Had it not been for his grandmother’s death pulling him back, he might have risen to become a mob boss in the underworld by now.
While most children relied on their families for protection and support in starting their businesses, Duncan chose to forge his own path. He sought financial backing from his friend Zachary, and gradually built Lewis & Co. from the ground up. Through his own efforts, he strengthened the company, elevating it to one of the top firms in Wiltspoon, boasting a net worth in the tens of billions.
Lewis & Co. operated independently of the Lewis family business. Instead, Duncan collaborated closely with York Corporation and numerous other large companies across different regions and cities. In essence, he disregarded his parents’ influence and preferred to chart his own course.
As Duncan observed his mother at a loss for words, he leaned back, closed his eyes, and said, “Wake me up when we get home, Mom. I’m going to take a nap.” It was only natural for him to feel tired after a sleepless night.
Despite his exhaustion, he had been unable to rest the previous night due to his worries about Liberty. He even contemplated what he would do if she never woke up.
When did he start to develop feelings for her? Although he had known Liberty for six months, he couldn’t pinpoint the moment he became attracted to her, once a plump woman but now transformed into a beautiful figure.
Regardless of when he began to like her, he was determined to pursue her now that he had feelings for her. He wondered if Liberty would chase him out of her breakfast diner with her spatula after he confessed. Would she ban him from returning for breakfast in the future?
Duncan felt a twinge of anxiety and realized he needed to devise a plan.
Liberty let herself be drawn into his arms step by step until she could no longer resist and had no choice but to surrender.
“You deserve to be exhausted. She has her sister, brother-in-law, and many others to care for her. You didn’t need to be there all night. You reap what you sow,” Mrs. Lewis scolded her son.
Duncan replied casually, “I reap what I sow, but I did it willingly. I was the first to see her wake up. Watching her regain consciousness and being discharged from the ICU brought me more joy than closing a deal worth hundreds of millions.”
Mrs. Lewis was left speechless.
Before long, Duncan fell asleep in the car.
Mrs. Lewis gazed at her sleeping son, feeling a mix of anger, distress, and helplessness.
