Everyone turned to look when Benjamin strutted in with Mandy and Rosie by his side, acting like they owned the place. Benjamin carried a box of mooncakes, showing it off as if it were a treasure.
As soon as Mabel saw who it was, she got up right away. “What brings you here?”
Benjamin flashed a smile. “It’s Thanksgiving, isn’t it? You know Rosie, always so thoughtful. She wanted to check in on you. Mabel, are we not welcome?”
Damien and his family exchanged knowing glances. They could tell Benjamin’s family wasn’t here for anything good. Wendy and the others were already annoyed, so this just made things worse.
“Dad, has Benjamin’s family really sunk so low in the Capital?” Wendy said, loud enough for everyone to hear. “They show up to visit and all they bring is a cheap box of pumpkin pie?”
Damien was just as surprised. The Gibsons used to be a big deal, and now they came empty-handed, except for a single, shabby box of pie. It felt like an insult.
Benjamin and Mandy heard the whispers and could hardly hide their smugness. This was exactly why they came tonight, to put the Robinson family in their place. They figured soon the Robinsons would be so down-and-out, they wouldn’t even deserve a box of pie from them.
Nathaniel scoffed. “Why not just say the Gibsons are so broke that pies are all they can afford? They came to us, not the other way around.”
Damien’s family didn’t know what to say to that.
Benjamin’s face darkened. “Nathaniel, is this how you talk to your uncle?”

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...
