Mandy couldn't shake the thought that Jackson’s sudden investigation might have something to do with his car showing up at Capital Med School a few days ago. Benjamin looked absolutely miserable. “A bunch of people from my department are heading over to the Robinsons’ tonight to congratulate William. What are we supposed to do?”
The room went silent. No one had forgotten their last visit to the Robinsons during the holiday. The memory was still fresh and honestly, pretty painful.
Mandy thought for a moment, weighing her options. Finally, she said, “We’re going.”
Benjamin gaped at her. “We’re going?”
He looked like he wanted to be anywhere but there. There’d be so many people from his department tonight. If they saw the Robinsons freezing him out, how could he ever show his face at work again?
Rosie frowned, clearly not thrilled. “We had that huge blowup with them last time. Going now would just be embarrassing.” She glanced at Mandy, then added, “And with so many people around, if they ignore us or worse, it’ll be even more humiliating.”
Mandy glanced over at Benjamin. “If everyone else goes and you don’t, it’s basically announcing to the whole department that you and William aren’t on good terms. Trust me, that’s not the kind of attention you want. No one will stick their neck out for you after that.”
Benjamin went quiet, clearly thinking it over.
Mandy pressed on, “Look, there’ll be a crowd. We just need to bring some nice gifts, show up, make an appearance, and keep it moving. People will see you there and still think you’re close with William’s family. You’ll keep your reputation and maybe gain a few people looking to get on your good side.”
Benjamin had to admit, she made sense. But he still looked worried. “What if William or Mabel decide to embarrass me in front of everyone?”

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...
