The second Kylie mentioned the police, Frank’s face drained of color. He was truly scared now. The thought of jail was unbearable, and the police would only make things messier.
Kylie and Cameron glared at him, their anger barely contained. “You… How could you do something so awful? We actually thought you were helping him. We never imagined you’d stoop so low.”
Frank’s whole body shook. He dropped down, pleading. “Sir, Ma’am, I’m sorry, I swear I’m sorry. I was desperate. The debts were crushing me, and I just… I didn’t know what else to do. Please, just give me another chance. I’ll never do this again.”
Kylie marched right up to him, her voice cold and sharp. “Forgive you? You think you can just say sorry and walk away? He’s an old man, and you put him in danger. Don’t think we’ll just let this slide. We’re calling the police, and you’ll answer for what you did.”
Frank’s panic hit a new level. He started crying, his words tumbling out. “I’m really sorry! I just lost my head for a second. I’m Lucinda’s father. Please, for her sake, please let me go this one time.”
Hearing Lucinda’s name only made Kylie angrier. “Stop bringing up Lucinda. What kind of father are you? She deserves so much better.”
Cameron looked just as furious. “If you needed money, you could’ve just told us. We wouldn’t have turned you away. But you had to go and pull something like this?”
Neither of them could believe how shameless Frank was. If Lydia hadn’t called him out today, how long would he keep fooling them?
Frank tried to explain, still on his knees, tears streaming down his face. “Sir, Ma’am, I never wanted Lucinda to know. I just want her to focus on school. I didn’t want to drag her down. I know I messed up.”

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...
