Lucinda wouldn’t even look at Frank. She turned her head away and said, “You are not my father.”
Her voice shook with anger as she went on, “Grandpa has loved me and spoiled me since I was little. But you? You’ve never once acted like a real father, not even for a single day. And now you do something so heartless... How could you?”
Her eyes began to shine with tears.
Kylie saw her and rushed over, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. “Lucinda, we never imagined he’d turn out to be this kind of person. Since you’ve decided to call the police, let them handle it. He needs to face the consequences.”
Lucinda nodded right away. “Okay.”
When Frank realized Lucinda was actually serious about calling the police, he exploded.
“You ungrateful brat! I came here for you, and this is how you repay me? You really want to send your own father to jail? You’re just as heartless as your mother!”
His words got nastier and nastier, but even with all his anger, Frank didn’t mention that he’d been working with Lucinda and Grace. If that came out, Lucinda would be in trouble too.
What Frank couldn’t wrap his head around was why, even after the Norwoods had handed the decision over to Lucinda, she still chose to turn him in.
Why? He was her father. Everything he’d done, he’d done following Grace’s plan, supposedly for Lucinda’s own good.
How could she be so cold?
It was only now that Frank realized he’d been set up by both Grace and his own daughter. And there was nothing he could do about it. He couldn’t even speak up. The whole thing left him feeling completely defeated.
Kylie couldn’t stand to hear another word. She had someone stuff a cloth into Frank’s mouth to shut him up until the police arrived.
She shook her head, sighing. “I never thought he’d turn out to be like this. Thank goodness Lucinda never went back to him when she had the chance. Imagine what her life would be like if she had.”

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...
