Chapter 318 No Different From Your Dad
Lucy had always been hurt by her motherâs absence since she was young.
Rodney knew this well.
He was deliberately rubbing salt in her wound.
He didnât hesitate to reveal her deepest vulnerability in front of everyone to save face.
âYou were a cruel *ss after all,â Lucy said, her voice tight.
Rodney narrowed his eyes at her. âLucy, I might reveal your family background to everyone if you push
me.â
Lucy clenched her jaw, her eyes flashing with anger. âDonât you dare!â
âWhy wouldnât I dare?â
Rodneyâs lips curled into a menacing smile as he peeled Lucyâs hand from his collar. He stood up,
towering over her as he spoke.
âYou must think Iâm unloyal and shouldnât be confessing to Mandy before breaking up with you,â he
said. âBut Lucy, Iâm no different from your dad.â
âIf it werenât for your dad cheating on your mom, she wouldnât have jumped off the building the day after
she gave birth to you. Sheâs been in a coma ever since.â
âThen your dad regretted his actions and wanted to commemorate your mother, so he named you after
her middle name.â
Lucy clenched her fists so hard that crescent marks were left on her palms.
Everyoneâs faces were clouded with discomfort by the tension in the air.
Mandy scrunched her brows into a tight knot and pulled on the hem of Rodneyâs shirt. âRodney, thatâs

But Rodney refused to back down.

The confident one?

because your dad cheated on her.â
âBut thatâs not all.â
âTwelve years ago,â Rodney said, his lips curling into a cruel smirk, âafter getting your motherâs familyâs
approval, your dad donated her organs after agreeing to euthanasia. But can you call it a donation if he
sold them forâ¦
âBam!â
Lucy slapped Rodney across the face with all her might.
âIâll kill you!â she seethed, lunging at him again.
Lucy had never told anyone about her family, not even Cherise.
Now, standing on the slope, her anger burned like wildfire, consuming her. She didnât care. where she
was anymore.
With unrepentant rage, Lucy grabbed Rodneyâs collar and clenched her fists. She then gave him a
powerful blow to the head.
Rodney staggered, and Lucy lost her footing, sending them both tumbling to the ground. She continued
to throw punches at him as they rolled around, her anger fueling her strength.
âBe careful!â Cherise cried, reaching out to grab Lucyâs elbow as they teetered on the edge. of the cliff.
Cherise pulled Lucy towards her while Lucy kept her grip tight on Rodneyâs collar. They hung perilously
at the edge, a steep fall awaiting them if they let go.
Cherise didnât have the strength to hold both of them.
âLet me help you,â a voice called out.
Lennon took over Lucyâs hands and pulled her back up. Jacob and Mandy also helped. Rodney to his
feet.
They were both injured, but one was worse off than the other.
