Serenity and Zachary York

Chapter 3164

“Duncan doesn't even mind that Liberty's a divorced woman with a son. Everyone knows that he treats her son well. His love for Sonny is sincere.

“He'll be a caring father toward his stepson, and he doesn’t mind that his wife is a widow or a divorcee. He's the most suitable person for me. “Even Liberty, a mediocre divorcee, can find a man who's a hundred times better than her ex-husband. I'm much more capable than her. Am I not good enough for Duncan?

“So what if Duncan and Liberty are lovers? As long as they aren't legally married, I still stand a chance. I've confirmed that Duncan will be able to recover from his injury. The doctor said he could recover fully by next year if he consistently persisted in his physiotherapy.”

Rhea thought she was better than Liberty and more suited for Duncan. She wanted to fight for herself and Dean.

She would not need to worry about him mistreating Dean if she married Duncan.

Rhea felt jealous whenever she witnessed Duncan's affection for Sonny.

Those who knew nothing might have thought Duncan and Sonny were father and son just by looking at their interactions.

“You have a point, but people will scold you for being a homewrecker. Dean will be involved as well. You have to think this through, Rhea.” Old Mrs. Torres tried her best to dissuade Rhea.

“If you really can't find someone... You can stay single and raise Dean by yourself. Once he can take over, you can step down and enjoy your life.”

Old Mrs. Torres did not want to see Rhea working herself to exhaustion, but she did not wish for her to be a homewrecker either.

“Liberty is a divorced woman, but her younger sister is the missus of the York family. Zachary is known to be a doting husband. They'll take Liberty's side. If they find out you're going to snatch Duncan away from Liberty... Our company can't endure the combined oppression of York Corporation and Stone Group.

“Duncan may not like you too. He really isn't suitable for you, Rhea. Don't ruin your reputation and put our company in trouble because of him.”

Old Mr. Torres added, “She's right, Rhea. Duncan could've been a good match for you if he wasn’t crippled and wasn't dating Liberty. Not only is he both of those, but even Mrs. Lewis, who couldn't accept Liberty back then, has come to support their relationship.

“You don’t have to make things difficult for yourself. Mrs. Lewis disliked Liberty for being a divorced woman. I guess you'll receive the same treatment as well.”

Corey would probably hate Rhea more for being a widow.

The Lewises had high standards. Not any woman could join their family.

If it were not for Duncan becoming crippled, Corey would not have accepted Liberty that quickly.

After listening to her in-laws’ dissuasion, Rhea remained silent for some time. Then, she sighed and said, “Liberty isn't in Wiltspoon now. I heard she established a company in Jensburg. I think she'll remain there until things are stable for her new company.

“It might take a year or several years. While she isn't here, I'll try to check out Duncan's interest. If Duncan chooses me willingly, no one will have any opinions.

“I won't pursue Duncan openly. I'll just flirt with him and test if he's interested in me. If he doesn't express any interest, I'll give up and keep things purely business between us.”Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Since Rhea said so, what else could her in-laws say?
