Chapter 51: The Most Useless Man Became the Family Head?

"Do you know what you're saying? You don't need to marry anyone anymore because your father is now the head of the family! Everything in our family is decided by me now!" Lucy was stunned when she heard this. What? Dad has become the new head of the family? Impossible! But now that Simpson had spoken, Lucy could only choose to believe him. However, when she looked into the eyes of her family members, something still felt off. "Where's Grandpa?" She knew that previously, in their family, they couldn't even utter a word. Why did it seem like they were now the pillars of the family? Hearing Lucy's question, Simpson looked at everyone. Everyone immediately explained. Johnson smiled and said, "Oh, it's because your dad is so capable!" "Exactly, your dad is so capable, of course, he should be the head of the family." "As for Grandpa, he died of a heart attack, he just passed away yesterday." Something's not right. Grandpa had just celebrated his birthday, how could he be dead? Although Lucy didn't like the old man, who was greedy for benefits, he seemed healthy the last time she saw him. How could he have died so suddenly? Lucy found it hard to believe. Simpson quickly walked up and took Lucy's hand, saying, "Oh, your grandpa is dead, and now your dad is the head of the family. What the head of the family says is the law. We all follow the head's orders." Simpson spoke as if he were extremely honest and sincere. Lucy looked at her family members who had bullied her before. She shook her head. "I don't believe what you're saying. There must be something you're hiding from me!" Simpson frowned. Actually, they didn't know much either. The head of the family issue was handled by Johnson and the others. When he heard he was to be the head, he was also stunned. But Johnson said it was the result of a vote among everyone. Maybe following this result and acting accordingly would be understood and accepted. But... can this really work? At this point, Johnson suddenly stepped forward and said to Simpson, "How about I talk to her properly?" After all, he was the eldest in the family. Simpson nodded lightly. Lucy turned around, and Johnson walked up, gently smoothing a strand of hair on her forehead. "Lucy, you should have understood from what your father said that your grandpa is dead." "He passed away..." Lucy's tears began to fall. Recalling what happened that day, she still found it hard to bear such pain. "When we were in the room, that old man... that bastard..." The more she spoke, the more agitated she became. Johnson quickly stepped forward to soothe her. "Alright, alright, Lucy, Lucy, don't get too emotional. Take care of your health!" Johnson comforted her, but Lucy's heart was extremely troubled. This person had been so hateful to her. So disrespectful to her whole family. She hadn't even made the old man regret. How could he be dead? His sudden death felt like a curse. But for Lucy... She didn't want him to die so quickly. It seemed unfair to herself. "Tell me what really happened!" Lucy looked at Simpson. "Dad, tell me!" Simpson sighed. Now that he had become the head of the family, he was actually not in control. Simpson told Lucy. "Do you suspect that I killed your grandpa?" Hearing this, Lucy was slightly taken aback. "I-I didn't think that." Although the old man was very bad to her. But the old man was Simpson's biological father. If murder were illegal, Simpson would have no reason to kill his own father. If he really did that, given his mentality, he would definitely be riddled with guilt. Lucy looked at her father. Simpson looked genuinely clueless. Could it be that she was overthinking it? Lucy was still deep in thought when Simpson sighed. "I really don't know how your grandpa died." "I was sleeping soundly last night when I suddenly heard he was in trouble. When I went to check, he was already gone. Later, when the doctor arrived, they confirmed he had passed away." "Your grandpa's death is very strange." "How could he just die like that without any warning?" Hearing her father say this, Lucy couldn't help but sigh. Could Grandpa have suddenly died of natural causes? This seemed too coincidental. Johnson also explained. "We don't know what happened. We just heard that your grandpa's heart disease suddenly acted up or something." After hearing Johnson's explanation, Lucy slowly sighed. It seemed her grandpa really was dead. She hadn't avenged herself, and now the old man was gone! Lucy looked at Johnson and the others. "Is there no other possibility?" Simpson shook his head. "Other possibilities? How could there be?" Actually, everyone else knew what really happened. But no one intended to tell them. Because they had all been warned by Joseph. If Lucy and her family found out, it would only be bad for them. "So, Lucy, come home with us." Unexpectedly, Lucy refused to go back. "Forget it, I'm living well here." "I don't see any point in going back with you." Lucy didn't want to go back! Johnson and the others panicked. "Hey, I know we've wronged you, but can't you come back with us?" "Yeah, we know we've made mistakes!" "I'm so sorry, Lucy. What I did was the worst!" All the people who had bullied Lucy were now apologizing to her. What's going on? Lucy felt it was inexplicable. At the same time, Fox, who had bullied Lucy the most, suddenly blurted out. "Lucy, you've been living with Tangna alone for so many years, it's been so hard. Let me make up for my mistakes, okay?" Sophie was more straightforward. She directly slapped herself. "I'm sorry, sister. It was all my fault. All those things I said must have hurt you a lot! I'll never do anything to make you unhappy again!"
