Chapter 616
Duncan spoke up. “I know I made things hard for you in the company because I personally hired you,
but you don’t have to worry about what others say. Just do your own thing.”
“Mr. Lewis, I want to resign.”
Duncan’s eyes deepened as he asked, “Why do you want to resign?”
Liberty was silent, then she raised her head to look at Duncan and said, “Back then, I was told that I
came in through the back door, and I was secretly targeted by everyone. However, I put up with it in
order to get a divorce and win custody of my son.
“It was because I needed a job to fight for Sonny’s custody.”
“So now that you’re divorced and you’ve won the custody of your son, you want to resign?” Duncan
picked up from where she left off. “You haven’t even completed your probation period.”
He added, “You’re a capable person, and you’re good at your job. I believe that you know this too, but
whatever they say about you, you don’t have to listen to them as long as you have a clear conscience.”
“They’re also saying that I covet you, Mr. Lewis. I don’t want to harm your reputation.”
Where there were people, there would be trouble.
Liberty knew that.
She used to be a CFO herself, and she was hired to work in Lewis & Co. by Duncan himself. Everyone
claimed that she came in through the back door. Her superiors were on guard against her, afraid that
she would rob them of their position.
That was why everyone in the office was secretly targeting her, rejecting her, and always in cohorts to
land her in trouble.
Furthermore, Duncan was a single noble. If he paid too much attention to a woman, that woman will
become the thorn in the side of many people.
Liberty did not want to fight with them, so she wanted to resign and go with her plan to start her own
business.
Duncan paused before saying, “Who said that?
“Liberty, you just do your job. I’ll deal with them. If anyone spreads rumors behind your back about you
trying to covet me, I’ll fire them all. Don’t think I’ll let them go just because they have numbers on their
side. If they irritate me, I can fire all of them!”
He gave Liberty this job because of Zachary anyway, so technically, it was not completely false to say
that Liberty entered through the back door.
However, it was outrageous to say that Liberty was coveting him. She had just divorced. How could she
covet him?
Duncan was a busy man and did not want to care about the petty in–fighting among his employees.
However, he still had to take care of it if it went too far.
“Thank you, Mr. Lewis, but I still want to resign. I got a sum of money from Hank, so I want to invest in
opening a small shop and starting a restaurant.”
Liberty insisted on resigning.
Since Duncan said what he said, she dared believe that as soon as she walked out of this office, his
order would be conveyed to every corner of the company and the rumors might not reach her ears
anymore.
However, the others‘ opinion of her would still be skewed.
She did not want to drag Duncan’s reputation down with her.
“In that case, have you found a store?”
Duncan thought about it and said, “There’s a street called Westring Avenue 2 that’s near our office. We
have to pass by that street to get to our building. Half of the stores on that street are mine. There’s a lot
of traffic there, and apart from Lewis & Co., many small companies and factories are in the vicinity. It’ll
be quite suitable for you to open up a restaurant there.
“There’s an old couple who are too old to work anymore. They’ve retired and are going to move out in a
few days. If you really plan to go through with it, I can rent that storefront to you.”
Liberty was stunned. “Half of the shops on that street belong to you?”
Duncan asked rhetorically, “Why not? I have nowhere to spend the money I earn, so I bought a few
more stores to rent them out. The monthly rent is pretty substantial, so I’m using money to make more
money.”
Liberty was speechless.
The world of the rich is something unfathomable to Liberty.
“I usually don’t bother with the stores and hire someone to collect the rent for me, but I
have to pass by there every day when I commute, so I’m aware if there are any empty lots.”
Aunt Audrey said that Duncan was excellent at making money.
She was not wrong about him.
