Cameron suddenly remembered something Lydia had mentioned earlier.
“Lydia, what did you mean about him causing trouble at the LYLX office and asking you for money?”
Before Lydia could answer, Frank jumped in quickly. “I was having some health issues back then. I didn’t want to bother Lucinda, so I thought I’d ask Lydia for a small loan since she’s Lucinda’s sister. But in the end, Lydia didn’t give me anything. I didn’t get a single cent from her.”
As he finished talking, you could hear a hint of complaint in his voice, like he was blaming Lydia for being stingy.
Lydia just rolled her eyes. “That’s not what you said at the time. The company’s security cameras caught everything. Should I show everyone the footage?”
Frank went quiet, suddenly looking nervous. Grace and Lucinda had been right. Lydia wasn’t someone you could mess with so easily.
Now, even Kylie and Cameron could see that Frank’s story didn’t add up. Besides, they knew Lydia would never falsely accuse someone.
“Since you’re Lucinda’s real father, it doesn’t feel right to have you working here,” Cameron said. “And you did help the old man today, so we’ll give you five million. Go home, take care of yourself, and live comfortably. That way, Lucinda won’t have to worry about you.”
They really treated Lucinda like family, so they were willing to be generous to her father too.
Frank hadn’t expected Kylie and Cameron to be so generous, just offering five million like it was nothing. In the past, he would’ve grabbed the money and disappeared. But now, he wanted a lot more than just five million.
“Sir, Ma’am, I… I didn’t come here for money. I just want to see Lucinda once in a while. I’m all alone in the countryside, what would I even do with that much money?”
He started dabbing at his eyes, pretending to be emotional.
Kylie and Cameron exchanged glances. If Frank stayed and kept working as a gardener, Lucinda might think they were mistreating her real father. And if word got out, people would talk about how the Norwood family made their daughter’s father work as a gardener for them.

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...
