Two days later.

The first thing that Lily did after her meeting with Lord Mu was to visit Lilian's mansion.

Alone.

Of course, this was what she wanted to show. She wanted everyone to know that she was alone and crazy with the possibility of killing herself along with everyone else. Lily wanted them to fear her madness. She wanted them to fear her. After all, a woman who has lost everything is one hell of a scary woman. She smiled as she thought of Zhou Jingren's action behind the scenes. Soon, Lily would surprise everyone in that organization.

The Facci family mansion was something that Lilian bought when the Facci Merchandise became the Facci Group. It was something that she worked hard for. Sadly, her parents were already dead when she achieved their dream of living a luxury life. Still, Lilian didn't stop. She hustled and worked hard to make a name for herself.

And she succeeded.

Or at least that's what the story that Lily heard when she first talked to the Butler, Victor. Lily clearly remembered asking questions about the Facci Family when Victor served her snacks one day. It was winter. Lily just finished having her session with a therapist, and she was staring at the fireplace on the second floor of the house. The crackling sound of fire accompanied by the sound of roaring thunders surrounded Lily. The strong scent of burning wood lingered in her nose as she continued to gaze at the dancing fire in front of her.

This was the same thing that Lily was doing right now. She blankly stared at the fire in front of her, wondering when Victor would arrive with her snacks. Years ago, staring at this fire had become Lily's hobby. She finds it peaceful, relaxing even.

"Young Miss." Victor's way of calling her didn't change, even though they had not seen each other for a long time now. "As instructed, I didn't inform anyone of your visit." He was talking about Mr. Rossi, George, and Cathy. Those three had been asking to see Lily since Qin Yuanfeng took over the company. Of course, this does not mean that Lily refused to see them; in fact, she had talked to them about business in the past few months. However, Lily chose not to talk about anything else other than business.

Lily understood that her grandmother trained these three. With the current storm, Lily chose to isolate herself and only talk to a few people about her matters. "And Yang Mi?" Lily asked.

"She is already on her way here."

Lily smiled and gestured to him to take a seat.

"Young Miss this"

"Is there something wrong?"

Victor hesitated for a few seconds. The Lily in front of him was clearly not the Lily that he used to know. He let out a soft sigh before he took a seat.

"Good." Lily said. "I will stay here tonight. In my grandmother's room."

"Young Miss"

Lily turned towards the butler; his complicated gaze met her eyes. "I want to know more about my grandmother." Compared to her grandmother, Victor was obviously younger. Maybe he was in his late fifties or early sixties Lily was not certain. However, she knew that Victor and Lilian were quite close. She saw the older man's lips thinned as she stared at him; his complicated gaze turned calm.

Of course, this surprised Lily. Was he expecting this?

"What would you like to know?" He asked.

"What was she like." Lily said. "Before she found me. What was she like?"

"What would you like to know, young miss?" Victor uttered, ignoring her question. "And why would you want to know more about the past?"

"Closure." She answered. "I am not planning to change the future using the past. Nor am I planning to make people who wronged her pay. I want to end the cycle of revenge, Victor. I know that you understand what I mean, right?" He nodded in response.

"I do. But I wanted to make sure." Victor answered. "The past belongs to the past for a reason. Mistakes were made, and no matter what the Young Miss will do, nothing will change those mistakes. The Young Miss would only endanger herself and her family if she chose to pursue the matters of the past." he said while eyeing the person opposite of him.

"I know." Lily smiled. All she wanted was to live a happy life with them. The past does not matter to her. It does not matter if Bec was sent by Lilian to China to keep her safe, or if Lilian really killed her own husband. These were things that happened before Lily was born. And it is truly selfish to say this, but these are things that didn't bother her at all.

The past is just like that. It is a part of our memories. It made us grow into who we are now. And it cannot be changed. If these things happened before she met Zhou Jingren, Lily would immediately say that she will avenge everyone who wronged her mother, grandmother, and the whole Facci Family.

However, meeting Zhou Jingren unknowingly changed everything inside her. Right now, Lily already has her own family to worry about. How could she worry about the things that were technically the reason why she became the strong Lily that she is now? "There is no changing the past. I can only do everything I can to prevent the mistakes from happening in the future." She added.

Victor nodded in approval. "The madam was a woman that no one would want to mess with. I am glad that the madam taught you a lot of things." A tinge of pride glinted in his eyes. "I heard that Madam Luo died?" he asked a completely unexpected question. Lily nodded in response.

"You two were close?" she asked.

"She was a crazy woman." Victor answered. "She loved your grandfather like he was a god. It was a mistake." To put it simply, loving a man whom Lilian loved was a mistake.
