No one had pushed him.
Still, something felt off.
Lydia zoomed in on the security footage. As her grandfather stepped out from under the flower-covered arch, Frank lowered his head politely. But there was a flash of smugness on his lips, like he knew something no one else did.
Lydia’s gut told her Frank was involved somehow. But how? Did he put something slippery on the ground? Slip something into Grandpa’s shoes? She played the video over and over, but none of her guesses quite fit.
On the footage, Grandpa paused, raised his hand to his head, almost like he felt dizzy. Before he could even touch his temple, his body wobbled, and he went down hard.
Maybe he really just lost his balance. But after seeing Frank’s little smirk, Lydia couldn’t let it go. She pulled up the footage from every possible angle, searching for any other clues.
Ten minutes later, she left her room and headed outside.
The Norwood family garden was huge, filled with flowers and plants from all over the world. You could get lost in it if you weren’t careful. At the spot where Grandpa had fallen, Kylie and Cameron were scolding the two maids assigned to watch over him.
“You’re supposed to be with him at all times. Why didn’t you help him when he walked down the steps?”
“If you couldn’t support him, you should have at least reminded him to watch his step.”
“He fell and neither of you were there. The gardener had to help him up and call for help.”
The maids looked terrified. Their faces were pale as paper. “Sir, Madam, we’re so sorry. We’ll be more careful from now on.”

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...
