Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 982
“You can talk to me about it, Nana. No need to look for Duncan.”
“I don’t need you. Stop with the questions. Hurry up and give me Duncan’s number.”
Zachary skeptically gave his best friend’s number to his nana. At the end of it, he persistently asked, “What happened, Nana?
Why do you need to talk to Duncan?”
“It’s none of your business. Go back to work.”
Grandma May immediately hung up on her darling grandson after getting Duncan’s number.
Over on the other side, Zachary was speechless.
Could he not be a little nosy to ask about it?
Grandma May dialed Duncan’s number and spoke in an anxious tone when Duncan picked up, “It’s bad, Duncan! It’s bad! Those
absurd people are out to get Liberty again. It’s Liberty’s ex–mother–in–law and sister–in–law. They’re jealous that Liberty set up
a diner. They want Liberty to transfer the ownership of the restaurant to them. Liberty can’t face those two women alone. She’s
no longer the two–hundred–pound woman she was.
“I’m only an old lady. There’s only so much I can help with. I couldn’t scare them away by lying on the ground. I can only call you
for help. Your office is the nearest to here. You can send a few security guards over.”
Without giving Duncan a chance to speak, Grandma May terminated the call.
“I’ll know what you’re after if you come here in person, but I could be wrong about you if you send your security guards instead.”
Clenching onto her phone, Grandma May exited the loo.
There was no telling what the Brown mother and daughter said because Liberty appeared furious and was chasing them out.
Grandma May nearly went to drag Mrs. Brown and Chelsea back.
How was Duncan supposed to play the hero without the Browns around?
Luckily, Grandma May could count on Mrs. Brown and Chelsea to stick around. They refused to leave like that.

“Liberty, Chelsea is in a tough spot. Hank doesn’t have a lot of money since the wedding is coming up. It’s not like you spend a
lot on yourself and Sonny. You have your sister to help you anyway. You have the money to lend Chelsea two hundred thousand
dollars to start a business. Don’t worry. It’s just a loan. She’ll return the money. We’re family after all.”
The real reason Mrs. Brown and Chelsea were here was to get money from Liberty for George to start a business.
With a straight face, Liberty clicked her tongue. “Don’t play the family card with me. My mom only gave birth to me and Seren.
We’re unrelated. You should leave before I grab the broom.”
Liberty should let her relatives deal with her former in–laws. It would be a battle between the nasties.
“No matter what, I’m Sonny’s aunt. Can’t you look upon Sonny’s sake...”
“You’re Sonny’s aunt, not mine. Sonny is living off his mother now, so using his name won’t get you anywhere. Get out of here.
Stop coming over to harass me.”
Chelsea scowled. “You can either lend me the money or give me a job. Otherwise, I’m not leaving. You can’t make me go!”
She then walked to a table and took a seat.
Liberty was annoyed. The nerve of these people!
Grandma May watched without making a sound.
Liberty removed Hank from her list of blocked contacts and gave Hank a call. She waited until he picked up before callously
uttering, “Hank, hurry up and take your mom and sister away. They came here to talk ill about you and Jessica again. I’m getting
sick and tired of listening to them.”
Hank was at a loss for words. Did his mother and sister not go to Liberty to ask for money?
How did it turn into badmouthing him and Jessica?
