Mandy sucked in a sharp breath. “It’s not him? Then who is it? Someone else from your department?”
“It’s William,” Benjamin replied.
Mandy gaped at him. “Wait, what? William? Isn’t he with Defense?”
She honestly couldn’t believe it. William was suddenly promoted to Foreign Affairs? That was the worst news possible for the Gibson family, and for Benjamin.
Before all this, Benjamin worked in Foreign Affairs and William was tucked away in Defense. Their paths never really crossed. William’s higher rank didn’t matter much, so Benjamin could mess with the Robinson family as much as he wanted without worrying about any consequences.
But now, everything had flipped upside down. William was suddenly his boss. Just thinking about it made Benjamin break out in a cold sweat. His life was about to get a lot harder. And he’d just dragged his whole family over to the Robinson house during the holiday, all smug and showing off because Jackson had just been promoted.
“William… How did he end up as your minister?” Mandy was starting to panic too.
From what she’d always heard, the government usually picked ministers from inside the diplomatic circle.
Benjamin felt a headache coming on. “It’s happened before, people getting transferred in from other departments, but it’s super rare.”
William might have been working at Defense, but he was smart, knew his way around international affairs, had great leadership skills, and was a smooth talker. He adapted to anything. Looking back, it was obvious the higher-ups had been preparing William for this all along—they’d just never seen it coming.
Now it was official. The Gibson family had lost their edge. Mandy’s anxiety spiked. They’d made a serious enemy out of the Robinsons, and now William was Benjamin’s boss. What was stopping William from making his life miserable?
“Babe, this isn’t going to work. You have to ask Jackson for help. Seriously, just get me transferred anywhere else. I can’t work under William, I just can’t. Any department will do.” Benjamin sounded desperate.

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...
