Rosie was firm. “Mom, I’m sure. That was Uncle Jackson’s car.”
She couldn’t possibly mistake her uncle’s car. She even double-checked the license plate. It was definitely his, which was why she was so shocked.
Mandy frowned, clearly puzzled. “Your uncle is always so busy. Why would he be anywhere near your school?”
Rosie dropped her voice. “Mom, you don’t think he’s interested in some girl at my school, do you?”
Mandy’s response was quick and sharp. “Don’t say things like that. If anyone heard, it could ruin his reputation. It was probably just one of his subordinates using the car.”
It was common knowledge that on weekends and evenings, expensive cars would circle the university area. The girls at the university were all adults. The school didn’t police their social lives, and everyone knew relationships were a personal choice.
But this situation couldn’t be linked to Jackson in any way. If anyone started gossiping that he was behaving inappropriately, it could wreck his entire career.
“Jackson hasn’t even been seen with a girl for years. Why would he be sending flowers to anyone? Rosie, don’t say a word about this to anyone. I’ll talk to your uncle myself and tell him to keep a closer eye on his people.”
Whether Jackson was involved or not, the only story anyone could know was that it was his subordinate.
Rosie nodded. “I get it, Mom.”
After she hung up, Rosie couldn’t stop wondering. If it really was her uncle, who at Capital Med School could he possibly be interested in?
On the other side, Mandy sat on the couch, completely at a loss. Jackson was more than old enough to settle down. But all these years, he’d been devoted to his military career, serving the country with barely a thought for his own personal life. The Hydes family had mentioned marriage before, but he never showed any interest. With his career on the rise, everyone just stopped asking.

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...
