Chapter 1216
“Okay. Thank you, Mr. Lewis.”
Liberty expressed her gratitude politely and added, “We’re heading out now. Goodbye.”
Duncan replied, “Drive safely. Goodbye, Sonny.”
Sonny waved back, saying, “Bye bye, Dunc.”
Liberty rode off on her e-bike with her son.
Duncan remained where he was, watching as the mother and son walked away until they were out of sight. Once they disappeared, he turned back to his car, started the engine, and drove back to his office.
After Duncan’s car left, a BMW parked a hundred feet behind it also drove off.
“Drive faster, Lily. Overtake Duncan’s car and go ahead to see who that woman is,” Lily’s companion urged.
The two didn’t drive past Duncan after making a U-turn, fearing he might notice them, so they stopped not far from where he had parked. However, they couldn’t clearly see the woman’s face from that distance.
Mrs. Lewis had seen Liberty before, but that was when Liberty was still overweight.
Now that Liberty had lost several pounds, Mrs. Lewis no longer recognized her.
Additionally, she had only glanced at Liberty a few times during the Stone family banquet and hadn’t paid much attention to her.
Lily hummed to herself.
She pressed the gas pedal and quickly accelerated behind Duncan’s car.
Before long, she overtook him.
Duncan only noticed his mother’s car as it passed him. However, he didn’t try to catch up to say hello, knowing his mother was with Lily. He was concerned that Lily would pester him again if he attempted to approach them.
Lily was a formidable figure in the business world. When she set her sights on a man, she pursued him openly and fearlessly. She was incredibly bold.
Since Liberty was riding a bike, she couldn’t match the speed of a car.
A few minutes later, Lily’s car drove by Liberty.
Mrs.
Lewis lowered the window to take a look. Although she couldn’t see Liberty’s face due to the helmet she was wearing, she spotted Sonny sitting in the child’s seat. She quickly raised the window again, her expression darkening.
“Do you know her, Mrs. Lewis?” Lily asked, intrigued. She had also noticed Sonny. The woman had a child, implying she had a husband. Lily’s anxiety faded when she realized that the woman couldn’t possibly be her romantic rival.
Mrs. Lewis replied, “If I’m right, she’s Liberty Hunt. She’s Mrs. Stone’s niece and Mrs. York’s older sister.”
“I’ve seen her before, but she was quite overweight when we met. I couldn’t help but dislike her back then. How could she let herself go like that? I’d be more surprised if her husband didn’t cheat on her or leave her.”
It was clear that Mrs. Lewis had a strong dislike for Liberty. Perhaps it stemmed from the negative first impression Liberty had made on her. Mrs. Lewis felt that Liberty was partly responsible for her own failed marriage. Liberty didn’t know how to love herself and became consumed by her roles as a wife and mother. Not only did she neglect her personal growth, but she also failed to take care of her appearance.
During the divorce proceedings, Mrs. Lewis estimated that Liberty weighed over two hundred pounds. Even if she was tall, her excessive weight made her unattractive.
“She’s Mrs. York’s sister? The one who got divorced?”
Lily recalled Mrs. Lewis discussing the Hunt sisters before, although she often spoke more about Serenity. After all, Serenity’s status had changed significantly; she was now the lady of the York family. If all went well, her husband would soon be the next head of the family.
