Love at First Novel

Chapter 3730



Chapter 3730 - Luckily, things turned out okay, though it was a close call.

Clarissa's first target for a hostage was Liberty.

First, Liberty wasn't trained in self-defense. Second, she was Audrey and Kathryn's chosen successor, and finally, Liberty held enough importance in Audrey's group that capturing her would keep the York, Lewis, and Stone families from acting rashly.

Thankfully, Lilian reacted quickly and pulled Liberty back before Clarissa could capture her. Otherwise, the outcome could have been terrible.

When Duncan heard what happened, he was terrified and blamed himself. He felt useless, thinking that after all his rehabilitation, he still couldn't walk normally or protect Liberty in dangerous situations.

"Duncan," Liberty said softly, "You're doing it again. I told you not to overthink or put

yourself down. You are not useless. You're capable, successful, and even Zachary and Clive have praised you for building your business without relying on your family."

Duncan smiled, "Alright, I won't say that anymore." He hugged Liberty tightly again, holding her close. Liberty rested quietly in his arms.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"Liberty, I'm just so relieved you're okay. What if something had happened to you and Sonny? That night, you almost ended up in Clarissa's hands." Liberty looked up at him and said softly, "I'm fine now, so don't worry. It's all over. Clarissa is dead, and Mr. Dunn is too. My grandparents' revenge has been fulfilled."

That night, she had indeed come close to being taken by Clarissa. f Lilian hadn't acted quickly, Liberty might have been pulled down to her death. Clarissa wouldn't have let her go.

Lilian saved her life. Even Zachary hadn't had time to react before Lilian pulled Liberty to safety.

Duncan held her tighter. "I couldn't sleep or eat for days. I couldn't stop worrying, so I had to come see you myself."

Now that he was here, he didn't feel like a burden anymore.

Liberty relaxed, leaning against him, and said gently, "I'm tougher than you think. I'll be fine."

“That's a blessing," Duncan replied, not liking her saying she had a hard life. He preferred to think of it as a blessing in disguise.

Liberty smiled "Yes, yes, I'm

blessed. When Sonny was kidnapped, was stabbed, but I survived. That means I escaped death and will be lucky from now on. Don't worry about me. Blessed people have good fortune, so I'm safe."

She changed the subject to stop him from blaming himself. "How is everything at home?"

"Everything's fine. We're ready to get

married. Once you and Serenity are back, I'll propose and bring the bride price. Even though we'll just get the marriage certificate first, we still follow all the proper steps.

The proposal would be a big, joyful event so that everyone in Wiltspoon would know that he and Liberty were about to start their lives together.
