She didn’t care about anything else. She just wanted to see Lydia embarrassed.
Suddenly, Mr. Rowland burst out laughing. “Everyone, let me formally introduce Lydia. She’s the last student I accepted and has been learning from me for years.”
The whole room went silent. It was like someone had dropped a bomb in the middle of the party.
Wasn’t tonight already shocking enough? Now this?
Lydia was Mr. Rowland’s final, handpicked student?
How many mentors did this girl have? How many secret identities was she hiding?
It wasn’t just Rosie who was stunned. Even Lucinda, who’d been waiting to watch the drama unfold, sat there with her mind spinning. Was this some kind of cruel joke?
Lydia was actually Mr. Rowland’s prized student.
No way. This couldn’t be happening!
Lucinda felt like she was falling apart inside. Why did it have to be Lydia?
Rosie felt like her heart had just been stomped on. How was this possible? How could it be Lydia again?
Before anyone could catch their breath, Mr. Rowland spoke up again, his face absolutely beaming with pride. “Lydia might be my student, but honestly, her understanding of Go has already surpassed my own. Her way of thinking is so unique. She comes up with moves that leave even the most experienced players speechless. It’s just like her art—full of surprises and creativity.”
The crowd sat in stunned silence.
Lydia was better than Mr. Rowland? That was hard to believe.

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...
