    Grandma May was lost for words.


    Snapping out of her trance, Liberty asked, “Mr. Lewis, h-how did you know they were here?”

    Duncan let go of the struggling boy. Despite giving Sonny many pinwheels, he still could not get


    through to the little man. Duncan believed he was a failure because he could never get the three-year-


    old to like him.


    “Grandma May called me and said your former mother-inw and sister-inw were stirring trouble at


    your ce. She told me to hurry over with security, and I did because I was worried that they might


    scare Sonny and hurt Grandma May.


    “Are you all alright?”


    Liberty was in a daze. No wonder Duncan showed up out of the blue. It turned out Grandma May called


    him for help.


    Well, Lewis & Co. was nearby after all.


    It made sense why Grandma May sought Duncan for help.


    Without thinking much of it, Liberty said, “They have no shame, but I’m not afraid of them. I was going


    to ssh them with water, but your arrival was perfect timing.


    “Thank you, Mr. Lewis.”


    Duncan replied, “All that matters is that you’re alright. You can chase them out if they drop by the next


    time. Don’t waste your breath on them. You can’t reason with these people.”


    Liberty could very well call the cops on Mrs. Brown and Chelsea if they vandalized the property.


    However, Mrs. Brown and Chelsea came to whine and borrow money. There was no reason for Liberty


    to call the authorities.


    “Grandma May, Liberty, I should go back to work. Call me if you need me. I’ll let the person-in-charge


    know to tighten the security around here so this doesn’t happenagain.”


    Duncan came and went in a rush. He stayed for less than ten minutes.


    Liberty had no idea that Grandma May was putting out the feelers on Duncan. After Duncan left with


    his security team, she said to Grandma May, “Mr. Lewis is such a nicendlord. I had my eye on this


    space not because of the high foot traffic, but because there are many offices including Lewis & Co.


    around. I should be able to


    make a living here. I’m d I picked this ce to open a breakfast diner.


    “It’s not about profit for Mr. Lewis. At least, he cares for his tenants.”


    Grandma May snickered.


    Half the block belonged to Duncan. Yet, the other tenants had no clue who Duncan was, much less be


    under Duncan’s protection.


    Grandma May knew that for a fact, but she did not say it out loud.


    Duncan and Liberty did not have the hots for each other yet.


    Grandma May intended to observe without giving her two cents.


    Duncan returned to his office and called his best friend toin. He said, “What’s your nana up to,


    Zachary? The olddy can fight. Heck, she still got it. She can handle the two women herself. Why did


    she need my help?”


    “Can you exin further? I have no idea what you’re talking about. Why did my nana call you? Who did


    you meet?”


    Zachary was confused.


    “Your sister-inw’s former mother-inw and sister-inw went to the diner to cause a scene. Your


    nana called me for help. Zachary, I have the feeling that your nana is possessed by my granny. I get


    this weird feeling when she looks at me.”


    Zachary finally got the whole story.


    His nana must have caught on to something and was trying to sound Duncan out.


    Zachary uttered nonchntly, “You can send some of the men to help when Nana called. What? Did


    you ditch your work to help my sister-inw chase away two women?”


    “It’s not just me. I gathered a dozen of my office’s security guards and headed there, all guns zing.”


    Having the scenario in mind. Zachary answered with a smile, “That’s a bit of an overkill, don’t you


    think?”
