Jackson nodded. “Okay. I’ll remind them.”
Mandy finally relaxed. So it really was his people behind all this.
“That’s good. Jackson, there’s something else I wanted to talk to you about.”
“Sure. What is it?”
“It’s about William. I mean he’s getting promoted to Minister of Foreign Affairs. You know how things are with Benjamin and the Robinson family. Maybe you could help out, say a word, and get him transferred to another department?”
Jackson had already heard about William’s promotion earlier that day. His intention had been to pull William and the Norwood family over to his side, while also making things awkward for Connor. That was why he’d gone to see Lydia in person.
He hadn’t expected things to turn out quite like this.
Still, Jackson had never failed at anything he set his mind to.
“I’m still new in this position and don’t really know the other departments yet. Besides, William is his own brother-in-law. What could he really do to him? Just tell him to keep his head down and do his job. We can talk about a transfer some other time.”
Benjamin, who’d been listening in with hope written all over his face, suddenly felt like the ground had dropped out from under him.
Mandy heard Jackson’s answer and realized she couldn’t push any further, so she nodded. “Alright. We’ll wait and see.”
When she hung up, Benjamin stared at her in disbelief. “You just hung up? You didn’t even try to argue for me?”
Mandy sighed, sounding tired. “You heard what he said. What else do you want me to do?”
“So what am I supposed to do?” Benjamin was so anxious he looked like he might start pacing holes in the floor.
Mandy looked at him, exasperated. “You’re his brother-in-law. What’s the worst he could do to you? Just do your job properly. He’s not going to make up problems just to get you into trouble.”

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...
