Chapter 1616
“Go ahead, Mrs. Lewis.”
Mrs. Lewis looked at the beautiful appearance of Liberty who had sessfully lost weight, then she
praised her by saying, “Liberty, you bear a passing resemnce to Mrs. Stone when she was younger.
She was a beautiful career woman back then. Many elders wanted her to be their daughter-inw.
“In the end, Mr. Stone captured her heart, and she became Mrs. Stone. Now Stones.” she is the
mainstay of the
Old Mrs. Stone initially disapproved of her son and Audrey’s marriage. However, she could not take
control of it. Her husband and son were fond of Audrey, so Old Mrs. Stone had no choice but to ept
Audrey.
Anyway, the rtionship between Old Mrs. Stone and Mrs. Stone was not the most pleasant.
When Stone Group got into trouble, Mrs. Stone was the one who went all out to save thepany
from crisis. It was only then that Old Mrs. Stone epted Mrs. Stone wholeheartedly.
Elisa mentioned that when her mother just married into the Stone family, her grandmother made things
difficult for her mother.
Liberty smiled before she said, “Considering that Aunt Audrey and my mom are biological sisters, it’s
unsurprising that they both look simr. I look like my mom, so I bear a passing resemnce to Aunt
Audrey as well.”
At the mention of her mother, Mrs. Lewis recalled that Liberty’s parents had both passed away. Liberty
also had many outrageous rtives in her hometown who were orphans.
“Liberty, do you like Duncan now?”
All of a sudden, Mrs. Lewis asked.
Liberty had long guessed Mrs. Lewis’s intention of asking her out.
Without the slightest hesitation, she answered frankly, “Mrs. Lewis, I’ve always treated Mr. Lewis as my
landlord and friend. I have no interest in him. I don’t hate him, but that doesn’t mean I love him.”
Mrs. Lewis stared intently at Liberty.
Having been in a wealthy family for decades, Mrs. Lewis was a good judge of character. She could tell
that Liberty was telling the truth.
Liberty’s gaze was pure.
If she were lying, she would not have met Mrs. Lewis’s eyes openly. Liberty was not so crafty yet, was
she?
“I trust you, Liberty.”
Mrs. Lewis’s voice became gentle.
“But Duncan likes you. He’s stubborn. No matter how I advise him, he won’t listen to me and continue
to like you.”
Obviously, Mrs. Lewis was trying to tell Liberty that she would not ept Liberty as her daughter-in-
law.
After a moment of silence, Liberty replied, “Mrs. Lewis, when Mr. Lewis confessed his love to me, I
rejected him. He’s still pursuing me, but I’m not epting him. His love for me isn’t something that I
can control.”
Indeed, there was nothing she could do about it.
She was not interested in Duncan. It was Duncan’s business to fall in love with her.
“Mrs. Lewis, you can try to talk to Mr. Lewis about it. I’m grateful for his feelings for me, but I don’t n
to remarry. Whenever I think of my broken marriage, I’ll shake with fear. Now that I’ve finally gotten
over it and my life is back on track, I don’t want to be trapped in the tomb of love again.”

Some people analogized marriage to the tomb of love with women buried inside.
“Mrs. Lewis, you can arrange for Mr. Lewis to meet and interact with other rich youngdies. As Mr.
Lewis interacted with more women, he’ll realize that there are a lot moredies out there who are better
than me and suit him more.”
Those from the same circle as Mr. Lewis would match him well.
Mrs. Lewis sighed.
“Liberty, to be frank, I’ve started to worry about Duncan since he turned thirty. I arranged many blind
dates for him in a year, but he didn’t want to meet any of the girls. He’s independent and obstinate. I
really can’t do anything about it.
“Lily is my best friend’s daughter. Although she’s not from Wiltspoon, the Harmons are considered
wealthy. Lily might be slightly younger than Duncan, but they’re well-matched. Also, both our families
nned to be rted by marriage.
“As you can see, it turned out that Lily had let go of Duncan.”
While speaking, Mrs. Lewis kept moaning and sighing.
She desperately wanted to make Lily her daughter-inw.
