Cooper did not try anything further after Lucy told him her decision. On the contrary, he merely stated, “I respect your choice, and you don’t have to feel burdened by it.”

With that, Lucy stood up to bid him farewell.

Cooper looked at her while he sent her off with a steady gaze. I know that this girl will complete her calling because we are the same type of people. We have both experienced similar pain and hopelessness, and others have ripped our happiness away from us. Hence, we both know that it takes much more courage and resolution than usual to stand up again. In return, we will be able to achieve unprecedented transformation.

Meanwhile, Lucy thought to herself, I will never work with Cooper because I will not cooperate with an outsider to take down my father. After all, Jordan is my biological father, and he is my mentor in life. In fact, he’s taught me everything I know. Nevertheless, Jordan has also taught me that it’s fine to sacrifice your kin to achieve great things.

I will not live off my family while secretly helping an outsider. I must kill him myself and take over the position as family head to clean house.

It so happened that Michael hadn’t joined the film crew yet. He saw that Lucy was about to leave, and so he rushed forward to walk her out. “Are you leaving?”

Lucy turned around to look at him while glancing at the three musketeers of the Fletcher Family. They were packing, ready to tag along with Michael to join the film crew. She answered while smiling at him, “Yes. Thank you very much for taking me in and taking good care of me. It is time for me to leave.”

After walking out the door, she realized that the sun was bright today, and everything was fresh and alive. There wasn’t a trace of smog in the air; such a thing was rare at Bayside City, especially at the end of spring. On the contrary, the air was pleasantly refreshing, and the feeling made Lucy feel as if she was in another life. It was almost as if a ray of sunlight had shone through in the purgatory she was in, but it vanished in the blink of an eye. Her heart and soul were still engulfed within the endless darkness.

Walking her out, Michael said to her after a moment of hesitation, “To be honest, I can help you find out about Dana—”
