Chapter 1218


    What Mrs. Lewis wanted to know was whether Liberty and Duncan contacted each other frequently in


    private.


    Lily heard Mrs. Lewis order someone to investigate Liberty’s recent situation and asked, ” Mrs. Lewis,


    you don’t think that Duncan is interested in Liberty, right?”


    “Liberty is divorced and fat. Duncan’s standards aren’t that low, but we still have to take precautions.


    Maybe Liberty is interested in Duncan. Lily, I want my daughter–inw to be someone like you.”


    Even if Liberty had never divorced, she was still not up to Mrs. Lewis’s standards.


    Lily paused. “You’re right, I didn’t think of that. I just figured that Duncan would never like a divorced


    woman. Since you don’t approve of her, I won’t worry about her either.”


    “Lily, Duncan has always been single. There are no rumors or scandals about him, but he has never


    pursued a girl before either. He’s a bit boorish when ites to emotions, but if anyone can conquer


    him, he’ll spoil that woman with a lifetime of tenderness.


    “Don’t underestimate Liberty. She’s Mrs. York’s sister, and Duncan is good friends with Zachary. If they


    meet often and spend more time together, who’s to say what will happen? Maybe Liberty will grow


    ambitious and want to be like her sister, climbing up the socialdder overnight.


    “So, the person you have to watch out for the most is Liberty. If you notice something, I believe you can


    deal with her.”


    Lily’s expression turned solemn, no longer daring to underestimate Liberty.


    Duncan might not fall in love with a divorced woman, but there was no guarantee that the divorced


    woman would not have thoughts about Duncan.


    “I understand, Mrs. Lewis.”


    Lily was confident that she could conquer Duncan.


    The more he avoided her now, the more he would spoil her when he fell in love with herter.


    “Let’s go to Lewis & Co. to have a look,” Mrs. Lewis said.


    Lily said, “Duncan is very busy. If we go to the office to disturb him when we have nothing to do, it’ll


    affect his work and make him dislike me more. He might think I’m using you to pressure him.”


    Mrs. Lewis smiled and teased her, “You’re already siding with Duncan and worrying about him. All right,


    I’ll listen to you. Let’s go shopping instead. I’ll buy you whatever you want.

    “I don’t need anything, Mrs. Lewis.”


    Lily did not need Mrs. Lewis to buy her clothes and bags. She had plenty of her own.


    She justcked a husband.


    “You didn’t bring a formal dress over, right? Let’s go look at gowns. I’ll be attending a banquet in two


    days. I’ll tell Duncan toe with me, so youe too, but you need a gown to attend. It’s toote to


    have one tailored now, so we have no choice but to get you a ready–made one.”


    Lily was happy to apany Mrs. Lewis to the banquet.


    Mrs. Lewis’s social circle was filled with people from Wiltspoon’s upper ss. She would be able to


    make friends with the nobledies in Wiltspoon quickly if she apanied Mrs. Lewis to the banquet.


    “It’s no problem. I sometimes buy ready–made dresses too.”


    Mrs. Lewis smiled. “Lily, I’m liking you more by the day. You’re generous, sensible, and capable. It’ll be


    a dreame true if Duncan can marry you.”


    Lily swallowed all of Mrs. Lewis’s praise.


    She was beaming with confidence.
