Chapter 1482
Zachary went back to work.
His wife would pick him up from the office in the afternoon, and they would go and celebrate Josh and Jasmine’s marriage together.
Zachary could dive right back into his work, but Duncan could not focus on his.
Duncan’s mom asked him right after Zachary ended the call, “Duncan, what did Zachary tell you?”
“Mom, do I need to tell you the content of my calls? You didn’t even take me seriously when I was a child. Now that I’m in my thirties, you’re here to control me. Don’t you think it’s too late?” Mrs. Lewis choked.
“Mom, you’ve finished what you wanted to say. I have to get back to work.”
Duncan wanted his mom to leave.
Mrs. Lewis said after a moment of silence, “Since Josh is treating you to dinner tonight, take Lily with you and let her slowly integrate into your circle of friends.”
“No!”
Duncan directly refused.
Mrs. Lewis asked, “Do you hate Lily that much? What about her that is inferior to Liberty? She’s better than Liberty-be it her background, appearance, or age. She’s also much more capable than Liberty.”
“Ms. Harmon isn’t better than Liberty; she was just better at her reincarnation this life. If Liberty had the same starting point as Ms. Harmon, she might’ve taken control of a big group on her own long ago.
“Mom, don’t ask me why. I don’t know the answer either, but I just like Liberty. There’s no need to ask why and when. I just have to move and look forward.”
Mrs. Lewis was furious.
“Mom, are you going back by yourself, or should I arrange for my secretary to drive you?”
Mrs. Lewis stood up and said with a tense face, “I’ll go back by myself.”
“Have a safe trip.”
Duncan smiled with his eyes squinted despite having pissed off his mom.
Mrs. Lewis called Lily after she left Lewis & Co. She said, “Lily, Josh got his marriage license today and invited Duncan and the others to dinner tonight. You should accompany him.
