Carson could see right through it. The Gibson family wouldn’t show up with such an extravagant gift unless they wanted something in return. But he already had a favorite student, and he wasn’t interested in taking on anyone new.
“Miss Gibson, your gift is truly generous. Thank you for your respect. But to be honest, I’ve already accepted my last apprentice. I really can’t take on anyone else right now. Still, you have real talent and passion. If you ever have questions about Go, you’re always welcome to come and ask me.”
Everyone in the room was stunned. Carson already had a final disciple? How had no one heard about this? Or was he just saying that to politely turn her down?
A few minutes ago, Lucinda had been fuming that Rosie beat her to it. She hadn’t expected Carson to refuse so directly. Rosie had gotten so full of herself lately, flaunting her uncle’s high rank. Now she’d been put in her place, finally.
Lucinda was a little disappointed, though. She’d been hoping to become Carson’s student just to get one up on Lydia. Oh well. If he’d already chosen someone, that was fine. As long as it wasn’t Lydia, Lucinda didn’t really care.
Rosie, on the other hand, clearly didn’t believe him. “So you’ve already taken a student, Carson? I don’t think I’ve ever heard about that. Who’s the lucky person that got to be your final disciple?”
Everyone else was thinking the same thing.
Carson just laughed. “No, I’m the lucky one. I found a truly brilliant student. When she gets here, I’ll introduce her to everyone.”
Now the room was buzzing. So Carson actually had a student? And he was so proud of her he said he was the lucky one? Just how talented was this girl to get that kind of praise?
Lucinda stepped up with her own carefully chosen present. “Carson, wishing you health and happiness for years to come.”

thank u!...
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...
