Lydia glanced over and sure enough, the old man was wearing a watch on his wrist.
“I need both of your wrists if I’m going to check properly,” she said.
Normally, she could just use one hand, but something about Mr. Lowe’s pulse felt off. Actually, it was more than that. His whole body seemed strange. No man in his seventies, no matter how much he looked after himself, should be as fit as someone half his age.
But Mr. Lowe wasn’t having it. He pulled his hands away, scowling. “I think you just don’t know what you’re doing! A real doctor only needs a second to check a pulse. How long are you going to stand there fiddling? Out! Go on, get out!”
“Grandpa, what’s with you?” Lincoln shot back. He couldn’t believe his grandfather was acting this way. The man he knew was always polite. Now, he seemed like a different person altogether.
That only made Mr. Lowe more fired up. “You little brat… since when did you start talking back to me?”
Lincoln just stared, speechless.
The old man turned to Lydia again. “Well? Tell them. How’s my pulse?”
With a tiny smile, Lydia said just one word. “Good.”
That made Mr. Lowe light up. He looked around triumphantly. “See? I told you I’m fine, but nobody wants to believe me!”
“So, Tracy and I can go get our marriage license now, right?”
Everyone fell silent.
Christine let out a heavy sigh. “Dad, if you’re really going to marry Tracy, then we’ll need a lawyer to draft a prenup. She’s not getting a single cent of your assets.”
Mr. Lowe’s face changed instantly. “What did you just say?”
Christine kept her voice calm. “Don’t get upset. Your money will stay right where it is. But as long as Tracy stays with you, we’ll give her ten million a month to spend however she likes. That’s one hundred and twenty million a year. Compared to her old salary of two hundred thousand a month, it’s a fortune.”

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...
