Chapter 1618
Liberty might be able to run away, but she could not hide.
This would not solve the root problem.
“Mrs. Lewis, the best solution is that you talk Mr. Lewis out of it.
I hope you can try harder in persuading him.”
Mrs. Lewis was speechless.
Upon hearing Liberty’s words, Mrs. Lewis felt a slight burning sensation on her face.
Mrs. Lewis wanted Liberty to stay away from Duncan, yet Liberty expected Mrs. Lewis to stop Duncan from
pestering her.
After a while, Mrs. Lewis said to Liberty in a pleading tone, ” Liberty, if I had a solution, I wouldn’t have come to
meet you. My unfilial son just won’t listen to me, so I had no choice but to ask you for help.

sure you understand this. Now, you’re leading a peaceful life and not planning to remarry. Even if you consider
remarrying, you’re not going to feel happy in a relationship with Duncan.
“Both of you have different social ranks and circles. When you’re
in the first flush of love, you might think you can overcome everything. Once the honeymoon phase is over,
conflicts between the two of you will arise.
“Besides, I can’t accept you as my daughter–in–law. If you really get together with Duncan, I’m not sure what I’ll do
to you. I really can’t guarantee that.”
After Mrs. Lewis finished speaking, Liberty said, “I got it.”
“Well, can you sympathize with me for simply wanting the best. for my son? As long as you leave Wiltspoon, I can
pay you however much you want as compensation. Name your price and I’ll fulfill your request.
“You can remain in touch with your sister and aunt. Just ask them not to reveal your whereabouts so that Duncan
can’t find you.”
Mrs. Lewis held Liberty’s hand and begged her. “Liberty, I hope you sympathize with me. I’ll settle all other matters
as long as you promise to leave.”
Liberty withdrew her hand gently
“Mrs. Lewis, I’m sorry but I can’t promise you I’ll leave Wiltspoon. I’m not at fault, so why should I make the
sacrifice? Mrs. Lewis, you can move out of Wiltspoon with Mr. Lewis to stay away from me instead.”
Mrs. Lewis choked.
Then she said, “I’m a Wiltspoonian. I grew up here and got married here as well. Almost all my relatives and friends
are in Wiltspoon. I’m used to the lifestyle here. If I were to live in another place, I won’t be able to adapt to it. Even
if I can adapt to it, I’ll think of Wiltspoon all the time.
“Same here.”
Liberty’s reply made Mrs. Lewis choke again.

So, when Liberty said she was a Wiltspoonian, Mrs. Lewis could not refute it.
“Liberty.”
Mrs. Lewis’s voice was a little harsh. “Are you reluctant to leave Wiltspoon because you’re thinking about accepting
Duncan in the future?” 1

uncan.
Mrs. Lewis could not help but suspect that Liberty might fall in love with Duncan later on.
“Mrs. Lewis, I admit that Mr. Lewis is a great man. I can’t guarantee the future. I might accept him later or never at
all. Anyway, one thing I can be sure of is that I’ll never marry into your family if you disapprove!”
This meant that Liberty redirected the issue at Mrs. Lewis again.
Mrs. Lewis was at a loss for words.
Anyhow, Liberty would not reach a compromise with Mrs. Lewis.
