Rodney knew this well.
He was deliberately rubbing salt in her wound.
He didn’t hesitate to reveal her deepest vulnerability in front of everyone to save face.
“You were a cruel *ss after all,” Lucy said, her voice tight.
Rodney narrowed his eyes at her. “Lucy, I might reveal your family background to everyone if you push me.”
Lucy clenched her jaw, her eyes flashing with anger. “Don’t you dare!”
“Why wouldn’t I dare?”
Rodney’s lips curled into a menacing smile as he peeled Lucy’s hand from his collar. He stood up, towering over her as he spoke.
“You must think I’m unloyal and shouldn’t be confessing to Mandy before breaking up with you,” he said. “But Lucy, I’m no different from your dad.”

Lucy clenched her fists so hard that crescent marks were left on her palms.
Everyone’s 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 Rodney’s shirt. “Rodney, that’s enough! Our relationship has nothing to do with Lucy.”

“But that’s not all.”
“Twelve years ago,” Rodney said, his lips curling into a cruel smirk, “after getting your mother’s family’s approval, your dad donated her organs after agreeing to euthanasia. But can you call it a donation if he sold them for…
“Bam!”
Lucy slapped Rodney across the face with all her might.
“I’ll kill you!” she seethed, lunging at him again.

Now, standing on the slope, her anger burned like wildfire, consuming her. She didn’t care. where she was anymore.
With unrepentant rage, Lucy grabbed Rodney’s 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.
“Be careful!” Cherise cried, reaching out to grab Lucy’s elbow as they teetered on the edge. of the cliff.
Cherise pulled Lucy towards her while Lucy kept her grip tight on Rodney’s collar. They hung perilously at the edge, a steep fall awaiting them if they let go.
