Married At First Sight By Gu Lingfei

Chapter 1617
Lily let go of Duncan because she knew that Duncan liked Liberty.
Apparently, she did not even try to hold onto Duncan before letting go of him.
Duncan had a unique taste. Since Lily could not satisfy Duncan, she might as well give up so that Duncan would not hate her. At
least the two of them could still be business partners.
“Mrs. Lewis, I’ve helped you advise Mr. Lewis before. I told him that Ms. Harmon is nice. I noticed that he gets along quite well
with her too.”
Liberty did advise Duncan.
Nevertheless, the attempt proved futile.
As Mrs. Lewis mentioned, Duncan was an independent and obstinate person. It was almost impossible to change his decision
unless he was willing to give up or make changes himself.
“Liberty, I won’t blame this matter on you. The problem lies with Duncan, not you.”
If Liberty had pestered Duncan, Mrs. Lewis would have forcefully driven her away despite the powerful forces backing Liberty.
However, Liberty was not interested in Duncan. There was actually nothing Mrs. Lewis could do to Liberty.
“But Liberty, I need a favor from you.”
“Mrs. Lewis, what favor is that?”
Now that they had brought up this topic, Mrs. Lewis decided not to beat around the bush. She said directly, “Can you stop renting
the unit on that street and relocate your business? It’s best that your shop is far away from Lewis & Co.
“Don’t worry. I’ll compensate you for all the losses resulting from your relocation.
“As long as the new shop you rent is far away from Lewis & Co., I’ll cover all your renovation expenses. You don’t need to pay a
single cent.”

When Liberty learned that Duncan liked her, she thought about canceling her tenancy agreement and moving out. Nevertheless,
she decided to face it calmly in the end.
Duncan was pursuing her. If she canceled her tenancy agreement and moved out, would Duncan stop pursuing her? If so, she
would have moved out straight away.
Moreover, she finally had many regular customers in that area, and her business was brisk. This was her first time starting a
business. She had put a lot of effort into it. Honestly speaking, she could not bear to give up on it.
“Of course, as long as you’re willing to leave Wiltspoon, I can give you more compensation. I’ll guarantee that you gain a foothold
in another city. You won’t suffer any losses.”
The main point lay in Mrs. Lewis’s last few sentences.
Her real intention was to have Liberty leave Wiltspoon and live in a place where Duncan would not be able to find her.
Liberty could see Mrs. Lewis’s motive. Telling Liberty to cancel her tenancy agreement, move out, and relocate her food business
was a prelude to Mrs. Lewis’s plan to make her leave Wiltspoon.
“Mrs. Lewis, I’m used to living in Wiltspoon. My relatives and friends are here as well. I really can’t leave Wiltspoon with Sonny
and live somewhere Mr. Lewis isn’t aware of.”
Mrs. Lewis felt a little awkward, but she was seething with anger.
For someone who had been domineering in the family, Mrs. Lewis felt aggrieved in her communication with Liberty at this
moment.
If it had been someone else, she would have tossed a check and driven that person away to settle the issue.
She would not care who was at fault.
She would not allow anyone she disliked to appear in front of her son.
Unfortunately, her unfilial son, Duncan, liked Liberty.
Liberty had the Stones and the Yorks backing her, which explained why Mrs. Lewis felt aggrieved and could not intimidate
Liberty.

“I can consider canceling my tenancy agreement, moving out of that street, renting a new place on another street, renovating my
shop, and starting everything anew. Having said that, do you think this will work, Mrs. Lewis?” Liberty asked.
When Duncan was a teenager, he stayed in other parts of Wiltspoon. Which corner of the city was he unaware of?
