Rufus' POV:
My expression darkened. "What do you mean?"
Lucy chuckled and looked at me with a vicious gleam in her eye. "Oh, my God! You still don't know? Laura and Crystal have fabricated such a detailed story and they've deceived everyone, including you! You're nothing but their tool, Rufus! Even if you have all the power in this world, so what? You can't ever have the person you love most by your side!"
Hearing this, I knew Lucy knew more than she was letting on, so I dismissed the other people.
"Tell me, what do you know?" I asked as soon as we were the only two left in the room.
Lucy laughed hysterically, glaring at me with resentment. "And why should I tell you anything, Rufus? Seeing you stumbling around in the dark gives me great pleasure, you know."
"What do you think you can get by doing this? Think about Firman. Do you really want him to lose both his parents?" I locked eyes with her coldly.
At the mention of her son, Lucy lost some of her audacity. "What... What do you want to know?"
I strode towards her slowly and bent down until we were at eye level. "I've come to realize that I've lost a small part of my memory."
Lucy cracked a smug smile. "Do you want to know what memories you've lost? Beg me and I'll consider whether to tell you or not."
I sneered. "I can figure it out without asking you."
"Oh, is that so? I'm sure that Laura and Crystal have misled you. What they say and do in front of you
must be deceiving." Lucy looked like she was determined to get my plea. She wasn't as panicked as she was just now. "Only I can tell you what you want to know."
I clicked my tongue and said with a smile, "Don't you want to know what I've figured out so far?"
