NovelEnglishChapter 984 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 calledand said your former mother-in-law and sister-in-law were stirring trouble at your place. She toldto hurry over with security, and | did because | 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.

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. | was going to splash 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 cto whine and borrow money. There was no reason for Liberty to call the authorities.
“Grandma May, Liberty, | should go back to work. Callif you need me. I'll let the person-in-charge know to tighten the security around here so this doesn’t happen again.” Duncan cand 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 nice landlord. | had my eye on this space not because of the high foot traffic, but because there are many offices including Lewis & Co. around. | should be able to make a living here. I'm glad | picked this place 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.

Duncan returned to his office and called his best friend to complain. He said, “What's your nana up to, Zachary? The old lady can fight. Heck, she still got it. She can handle the two women herself. Why did she need my help?” “Can you explain further? | have no idea what you're talking about. Why did my nana call you? Who did you meet?” Zachary was confused.
“Your sister-in-law’s former mother-in-law and sister-in-law went to the diner to cause a scene. Your nana calledfor help.
Zachary, | have the feeling that your nana is possessed by my granny. | 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 nonchalantly, “You can send sof the men to help when Nana called. What? Did you ditch your work to help my sister-in-law chase away two women?” “It's not just me. | gathered a dozen of my office’s security guards and headed there, all guns blazing.” Having the scenain mind. Zachary answered with a smile, “That's a bit of an overkill, don’t you think?” MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 mmMwWLLIOfiflO& 1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MULL TO £2 E1061 mmMwWLIiIOfiflO&1
