Chapter 1617

Lily released Duncan, fully aware of his feelings for Liberty.

It was clear that she hadn’t even attempted to hold onto him before letting go.

Duncan had a particular taste. Since Lily couldn’t fulfill his desires, she decided to step back to avoid any animosity from him. This way, they could at least remain business partners.

“Mrs. Lewis, I’ve previously advised Mr. Lewis about Ms. Harmon. I noticed that he seems to get along quite well with her,” Lily stated.

Liberty indeed had offered advice to Duncan.

However, her efforts were in vain.

As Mrs. Lewis pointed out, Duncan was a determined and headstrong individual. Changing his mind was nearly impossible unless he himself decided to shift his perspective.

“Liberty, I won’t hold you responsible for this. The issue lies with Duncan, not you.”

If Liberty had pressured Duncan, Mrs. Lewis would have insisted on removing her despite Liberty’s strong support.

However, Liberty was uninterested in Duncan, leaving Mrs. Lewis with limited options against her.

“But Liberty, I need a favor from you.”

“Mrs. Lewis, what kind of favor are you asking for?”

Now that the subject was broached, Mrs. Lewis decided to be straightforward. “Could you cease renting the unit on that street and move your business? It would be best if your shop was located far from Lewis & Co.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll compensate you for any losses incurred from your move.”

“As long as your new shop is distant from Lewis & Co., I’ll cover all your renovation costs. You won’t have to spend a single cent.”

When Liberty discovered Duncan’s feelings for her, she considered terminating her tenancy and relocating. However, she

the area, and relocating my business, but I need to think it over carefully,” she said calmly. Duncan was pursuing her relentlessly. If she were to cancel her tenancy and move out, would that put an end to Duncan’s pursuit? If that were the case, she would have left immediately.

Additionally, she had finally built a loyal customer base in that area, and her business was thriving. It was her first venture into entrepreneurship, and she had invested a lot of time and energy into it. Truthfully, she couldn’t bear the thought of giving it up.

“Of course, if you’re willing to leave Wiltspoon, I can offer you additional compensation. I’ll make sure you establish yourself in another city without any losses,” Mrs. Lewis stated.

The crux of Mrs. Lewis’s remarks was clear. Her true intention was to have Liberty leave Wiltspoon and relocate to a place where Duncan could not find her. Liberty recognized Mrs. Lewis’s motive. The suggestion to cancel her tenancy, move out, and shift her food business was merely a tactic to execute Mrs. Lewis’s plan of forcing her out of Wiltspoon.

“Mrs. Lewis, I’m quite settled in Wiltspoon. My family and friends are here. I truly cannot just leave Wiltspoon with Sonny and move somewhere Mr. Lewis doesn’t know about,” Liberty replied firmly.

Mrs. Lewis felt somewhat uncomfortable, but her anger was palpable. Having always been the dominant figure in her family, she felt slighted in her dealings with Liberty at that moment. If it had been anyone else, she would have simply handed over a check to resolve the issue and not cared about who was at fault. She would never allow someone she disapproved of to be in her son’s life.

Unfortunately, her ungrateful son, Duncan, had feelings for Liberty. With the support of the Stones and the Yorks, Liberty was not easily intimidated, which only added to Mrs. Lewis’s frustration. “I can think about canceling my tenancy agreement and moving out,” Liberty began.

“Moving to a new street, renting a place on a different street, renovating my shop, and starting fresh. Given all this, do you think it will work, Mrs. Lewis?” Liberty inquired.

When Duncan was a teenager, he lived in various areas of Wiltspoon. Which part of the city did he not know about?
