Lucinda figured Grace had a point, so she took a deep breath. “Alright. And make sure Frank keeps his head down at the Norwood place. I don’t want him to mess anything up.”
“I know. Don’t worry, I’ll talk to him.”
“Okay.”
Grace ended the call and let out a long, heavy sigh. Lately, life felt like a pressure cooker. Getting Lydia out of the picture couldn’t wait any longer. But Night Eagle still hadn’t made a move, and the waiting was driving her crazy.
Sometimes, when you mention someone, they just show up out of nowhere. As Grace was worrying about when Night Eagle would finally do something, her other phone rang. For a second, she thought she was imagining things. When she glanced at the screen and saw Night Eagle’s name, her heart skipped a beat.
Trying to steady herself, she answered quickly. “Yes, sir.”
No matter how many times she talked to Night Eagle, she always felt a little nervous.
Night Eagle’s voice was low and direct. “Tell Lucinda to find a way to get Mr. Norwood out of the house as soon as possible.”
Grace blinked, caught off guard. “Mr. Norwood? Not Lydia?”
What was the point of targeting the old man? He didn’t care about the family business anymore, and he was completely on Lydia’s side. She still couldn’t figure out how Lydia had managed to win him over so thoroughly.
“Just do it. You’ll understand soon enough.”
“Yes, sir.”
After she hung up, Grace’s heart was still pounding. Get Mr. Norwood out by himself? That shouldn’t be too hard for Lucinda.
That night after class, Juna and Lydia headed to one of the most popular clubs in the city. Lucinda was hosting a party for her classmates there.
Lucinda just smiled like it was no big deal. “Everyone, have fun! Order whatever you want, it’s all on me.”
“Oh my god, Lucinda! We love you!”
They were all having a great time when suddenly the door flew open. Someone called out, “I heard the richest girl in town is hosting a party. Is it true?”
Everyone turned around, ready to scold whoever barged in, but they froze. It was Juna… and Lydia.
Lucinda, who had been enjoying all the attention, jumped up from the sofa, terrified that Juna and Lydia would expose her in front of everyone.
Juna looked around the room and smirked. “Wow, Miss Norwood. This suite is even bigger and fancier than ours.”

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...
