The lady wrinkled her nose in obvious disgust. Behind her, a well-dressed lady and a younger girl in a stylish dress eyed the place with the same look, like stepping into this neighborhood was a personal insult.
“Oh my god, this place is so shabby. Do people really live here?”
“Is this a slum or what?”
“Mom, do I really have to go in?”
“I don’t want to go either. This place is totally beneath me. I’m a princess, remember?”
The two girls kept complaining, acting like nobody else could possibly understand them.
At the Robinsons’ front gate, people were starting to frown.
“Are they for real?” Nathaniel muttered, his jaw tight with annoyance.
Normally, Mrs. Robinson or Mabel would have marched right over and set things straight, but today, everyone just stayed quiet.
“Chloe, Janet, hush. People are staring at us,” the older lady with them whispered.
Just then, a white-haired man in a sharp gray suit stepped out of the car. He walked up slowly, eyes lingering on the old house with a strange blend of nostalgia and uncertainty.
Mr. and Mrs. Robinson hurried over to greet him.
“Damien, welcome home.”
Damien leaned on his cane and let out a sigh. “It’s been so long. Standing here again, memories just come flooding back.”
Not all of those memories were happy.
Mrs. Robinson smiled. “It’s so rare for you to bring the kids back. Let’s head inside first, then we’ll catch up.”
He nodded, then turned to the three women with him and smiled gently. “Wendy, take Chloe and Janet inside.”
Wendy, his daughter-in-law, gave a nod and led her two daughters, both looking like they’d just stepped in something foul, through the Robinsons’ front door.
But as soon as they got inside, Chloe, the so-called princess, stopped dead.

Olha a história bem boa só algumas coisas são chatas ( nesse tipo de história sempre troca as filhas pela a da empregada ou então pegam uma menina pra criar) pelo menos eles tratam a filha bem só enche o saco que até agora a Lucinda tá lá enchendo ! Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
