Cameron let out a quiet sigh. “Yeah, I guess that’s what they call fate. Meeting the right person at just the right time.”
Connor and Lucinda had been engaged for over ten years, but nothing ever happened between them. Then, just before Lydia came back, she ended up saving Connor by accident. If that’s not destiny, what is?
Down the hallway, Lucinda stood completely still, her fists clenched so hard her knuckles turned white. Just wait, she thought to herself. She’d make everyone see that she and Connor were the perfect match.
After hanging up, Connor waited, a little impatient, until Lydia finally called him back. He picked up right away. “Lydia, did you forget you have a fiancé?”
Lydia couldn’t hide her laugh when she heard the slight whine in his voice. “How could I? I just got back and needed a shower. Relax, babe, okay?”
Just hearing her say that made Connor’s heart feel a little better.
“They didn’t mess with you in there, did they?”
Lydia arched an eyebrow. “Who would even dare?”
Connor let out a small laugh. “I’m glad you’re fine.”
The truth was, once Connor found out that William was about to be promoted to Minister of Foreign Affairs, he figured both he and Lydia would have to go through another round of questioning. It was just a rule, to make sure their relationship didn’t cause any problems at work. What he didn’t expect was that Jackson would get dragged into it too.
Lydia had brought Jackson upstairs just to rope him into the investigation. Still, thinking about Jackson’s real intentions made Connor fume. Just wait until he got back to the Capital. He’d make sure Jackson learned his lesson. Who did Jackson think he was, eyeing his fiancée?
Lydia set her phone on speaker and laid it on the table, rubbing her hair dry with a towel. “When we left today, Jackson was still inside. After this, the higher-ups are probably going to keep a close eye on him for a while.”
Connor snorted. “Serves him right.”
That’s what Jackson got for making a move he never should have. Maybe now he’d finally realize Lydia wasn’t someone to mess with.

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...
