They lived in a small circle where paths intersected frequently. They would cross paths eventually.
Liberty was a divorcee, and Mrs. Lewis only brought her up in passing. Lily only remembered a bit about Liberty because she was Serenity’s sister.
“Yes, she divorced last yet. Her husband had an affair. I heard he was violent toward her too and wanted to go Dutch with her when it came to living expenses. Liberty stayed at home to raise their son and was considered a housewife, yet her husband wanted to go Dutch with her. It was clear it was because he disliked her, but she didn’t realize it.
“I heard she only found out that her husband was cheating on her when she received evidence of his affair. Her husband was very stingy with her, but he bought luxury goods for his mistress.
“Women, especially married women, need to love themselves more. If you don’t know how to love yourself, you can’t expect your husband to love and cherish you. You have to try and maintain financial independence. If you can’t do that, then you need to at least seize the financial power of the family.
“There’s no need to save your husband’s money for him. If you save too much, he’ll just give his money to someone else to spend. He won’t appreciate you if you try to save money for him and don’t buy new clothes or cosmetics for yourself. In fact, he’ll think that you don’t care about your appearance. He’ll think you’re ugly and refuse to bring you out with him because you’re shameful.”
Mrs. Lewis criticized Liberty for ending up getting a divorce because Liberty did not know how to love herself after marriage. Then, she said to Lily, “Lily, don’t worry. Duncan isn’t that kind of man.
“If you marry Duncan, we’re also very open-minded and won’t stop you from going out to work. You’ll still be free to do whatever you want. We all support you.”
Lily was one of the core figures of Harmon Corporation.
Mrs. Lewis knew that a woman like Lily was unlikely to stay indoors as a housewife after marriage.
She assured Lily in advance so that Lily would not worry.
Lily laughed while driving. “Mrs. Lewis, Duncan keeps avoiding me. I think it’ll take a long time for me to pursue him.
“However, I agree with you. Was Liberty even fatter in the past? She still looks quite chubby now.”
