Chapter 3730 - Luckily, things turned out okay, though it was a close call.
rissa''s first target for a hostage was Liberty.
First, Liberty wasn''t trained in self-defense. Second, she was Audrey and Kathryn''s chosen sessor, and finally, Liberty held enough importance in Audrey''s group that capturing her would keep the York, Lewis, and Stone families from acting rashly.
Thankfully, Lilian reacted quickly and pulled Liberty back before rissa could capture her. Otherwise, the oue could have been terrible.
When Duncan heard what happened, he was terrified and med himself. He felt useless, thinking that after all his rehabilitation, he still couldn''t walk normally or protect Liberty in dangerous situations.
"Duncan," Liberty said softly, "You''re doing it again. I told you not to overthink or put
yourself down. You are not useless. You''re capable, sessful, and even Zachary and Clive have praised you for building your business without relying on your family."
Duncan smiled, "Alright, I won''t say that anymore." He hugged Liberty tightly again, holding her close. Liberty rested quietly in his arms.
"Liberty, I''m just so relieved you''re okay. What if something had happened to you and Sonny? That night, you almost ended up in rissa''s hands." Liberty looked up at him and said softly, "I''m fine now, so don''t worry. It''s all over. rissa is dead, and Mr. Dunn is too. My grandparents'' revenge has been fulfilled."
That night, she had indeede close to being taken by rissa. f Lilian hadn''t acted quickly, Liberty might have been pulled down to her death. rissa wouldn''t have let her go.
Lilian saved her life. Even Zachary hadn''t had time to react before Lilian pulled Liberty to safety.
Duncan held her tighter. "I couldn''t sleep or eat for days. I couldn''t stop worrying, so I had toe see you myself."
Now that he was here, he didn''t feel like a burden anymore.
Liberty rxed, leaning against him, and said gently, "I''m tougher than you think. I''ll be fine."N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.
“That''s a blessing," Duncan replied, not liking her saying she had a hard life. He preferred to think of it as a blessing in disguise.
Liberty smiled "Yes, yes, I''m
blessed. When Sonny was kidnapped, was stabbed, but I survived. That means I escaped death and will be lucky from now on. Don''t worry about me. Blessed people have good fortune, so I''m safe."
She changed the subject to stop him from ming himself. "How is everything at home?"
"Everything''s fine. We''re ready to get
married. Once you and Serenity are back, I''ll propose and bring the bride price. Even though we''ll just get the marriage certificate first, we still follow all the proper steps.
The proposal would be a big, joyful event so that everyone in Wiltspoon would know that he and Liberty were about to start their lives together.
