He was sharp, meticulous, and cautious by nature.
Even though he had never seen Dusk in person, after just a few brief exchanges with Jean, he sensed something was off.
Eventually, Luka came right out and asked her, “You’re not Dusk, are you?”
They hadn’t met face–to–face–only communicated online–but Luka’s question still made Jean break out in a cold sweat.
She hadn’t expected him to be that perceptive.
After just a few text conversations, he’d figured out she wasn’t the real Dusk.
No wonder he was the second–in–command of Abyssal Choir–he wasn’t someone who could be easily fooled.
And just like that, Jean’s disguise fell apart in front of Luka.
She had no idea what he planned to do with that information.
With her current strength, she had no chance of winning against someone like him.
She also knew there was no point pretending anymore–no use trying to dodge or deny.
She might as well come clean.
Jean left out the details but gave Luka a rough outline of what had happened between her and Dusk.
She also told him, “If needed, I can step down and hand the position over to you.”

Her position as leader was more secure than ever.

After that, she split her time between managing the organization and going to school. She continued to keep her distance from the Ginger family; their relationship remained as lukewarm and indifferent as ever,
Then, when she started college, Sarah finally appeared.
As expected, she showed up at the Ginger household, claiming to be their long–lost daughter. And also as expected, she was quickly accepted and embraced by them.
Like some kind of natural–born darling, Sarah effortlessly won over the Ginger family–their love, their attention–all things Jean had never been given.
According to the original timeline, Jean was supposed to go mad tormenting Sarah–constantly opposing her–only to end up being crushed beneath Sarah’s feet…
But Jean, who had seen the future, had no intention of following that path.
Her heart had long since grown calm and indifferent.
She no longer cared what the Ginger family thought, or what Sarah did.
She was like a detached observer, watching without emotion as Sarah returned to the Ginger family and gradually grew closer to them.
All Jean had ever wanted was to live her life well.
Now that Sarah was back, Jean originally planned to take the opportunity to leave.
After all these years, she had built up far more than just a powerful organization–she owned multiple properties as well.
If she left the Ginger family, it wasn’t like she had nowhere to go.
But Sarah had no intention of letting her go.
Even though Jean hadn’t done anything.
Because, as the true protagonist of this world, Sarah had actually lived through a second life.
She remembered everything from her previous one. And in that past life, Jean had done things to her that were unforgivable. So now, reborn, Sarah was determined to take revenge.
