Chapter 1235

Lily knew Duncan would say that.

She uttered with a smile, “Duncan, Mrs. Lewis wants you to go with her. I can’t replace you. I’m only the daughter of Mrs. Lewis’s friend anyway. I’m not family.

“I’m not keen on social events either, but we don’t have a choice most of the time. We have to fulfill our obligations.”

Duncan had attended plenty of business parties to talk business. Before Lewis & Co. took off, he had to attend business engagements to drum in partnerships.

Lewis and Co. was now a well–known company in Wiltspoon. Duncan would only discuss big contracts with other CEOS while the trades on a smaller scale were left to his management team.

He started to attend fewer of these gatherings unless his two best friends were going.

With company around, Duncan would turn up briefly.

However, more often than not, Zachary would not show up. Hence, it fueled Duncan’s lack of presence at social events.

“Who is the organizer? Where’s the party?” Duncan asked.

Lily replied, “Mrs. Lewis said it was Old Mr. Dawson. It’s going to be held at Wiltspoon Hotel.”

Hearing that it was Old Mr. Dawson, Duncan had nothing more to say.

The Dawsons were not as wealthy as the Yorks, but they were among the top ten richest families in Wiltspoon. Old Mr. Dawson was a personable man, and the Dawson family kept a low profile in

Wiltspoon.

The movers and shakers of Wiltspoon’s corporate world would give Aaron Dawson respect by showing up to any one of his parties. Even Zachary could be seen at the old man’s event.

The Dawsons and the Yorks were on friendly terms. Zachary showed up at Old Mr. Dawson’s business gathering last year. It was the sevent at Wiltspoon Hotel that Serenity attended with Jasmine and Mrs. Lowe when Zachary and Serenity first got married.

Zachary’s appearance stirred a huge commotion. Jasmine went to see what the hubbub was all about but failed to squeeze her way into the crowd. Serenity, on the other hand, was hiding in a corner stuffing her face with food.

“Go on to your meeting, Duncan. I’ll clean the food containers and leave.”

Lily reminded Duncan about his meeting.

“Sure.” Still, Duncan waited until Lily was done washing the containers before walking out of the office with her.

With the secretary seeing Lily off at the lift, Duncan turned on his heel and took strides into the meeting room near his office.

After leaving Lewis & Co., Lily suddenly hit the brakes when driving past All You Can Eat. She stopped the car by the street and got out to ask someone in the shop next to the diner.

“Do you know who’s the owner of this breakfast diner?” Lily tenderly asked.

The person replied, “Do you mean Liberty? She needs to take care of personal matters in her hometown today, so she’s not open for business. You have to ctomorrow if you want to try her

breakfast. Her food is great, and the cleanliness of her place is top–notch. It explains why her business is doing well.”

The neighbors of All You Can Eat had often cfor a meal since the diner opened.

Liberty owned the breakfast diner.

Despite her shock, Lily did not show the expression on her face. She thanked the person, returned to her car, and drove away.

She drove straight to the Lewises‘ residence instead of heading elsewhere.
