The room went quiet for a split second after Juna spoke, then everyone started talking at once.
"Miss Davis, you can't be serious. There's no way Miss L is Owen."
"Yeah, right. Owen has been a legend in the art world for years. Miss L is only eighteen."
"Exactly. Miss L is already amazing, she topped her exams and she’s Kevin’s star student, but Owen is on a whole different level. How could they possibly be the same person?" another lady added, her voice full of disbelief and just a hint of mockery.
Rosie stepped forward, her lips curled into a smirk. "Miss Davis, that's ridiculous. Owen’s identity has always been a mystery. People have tried for years to figure it out and got nowhere. How could it be Lydia? You can’t make things up just to make her look good."
Juna let out a light laugh. "How about we make a little bet, Miss Gibson? If Miss L turns out to be Owen, you’ll serve tea and apologize to both me and Owen. What do you think?"
Rosie scoffed. "And if she isn’t?"
"Then I’ll serve you tea and apologize. It’s Carson’s birthday, after all. A friendly wager might make things more interesting."
Rosie didn’t even hesitate. "Deal."
She was sure Lydia could never be Owen.
Kylie and Cameron stood off to the side, looking proud and a little smug. These people really had no idea.
Cameron grinned. "I don’t think it’s impossible at all. Miss L has done so many incredible things at such a young age. You might not imagine it, but that doesn’t mean it can’t happen."
That made everyone pause. Rosie's brow furrowed. What was he getting at? Could Lydia actually be...?
Suddenly, someone laughed from the entrance. "Looks like we showed up at just the right moment."
Kevin, dressed in a sharp black suit, walked in with Mr. Rowland, the principal of Capital College, right beside him.

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...
