“People online are seriously messed up. Lydia was just sitting in a crowded restaurant, out in the open where everyone could see her, and they still managed to twist it all into something ugly. Honestly, it says more about them than it does about her.”
The moment Lydia saw the photos, she knew they had Rosie’s fingerprints all over them. Jealousy really was a scary thing. Rosie was out there spreading rumors with zero proof, just because she was bitter. Lydia decided to put Rosie in her place, or Rosie would really start thinking she could do whatever she wanted just because Jackson was on her side.
Lucinda’s face darkened at Kylie’s words, but she wasn’t about to let this chance slip by. She’d wanted to take Lydia down a peg for ages. Her parents were always so biased. If it had been her in the same situation, they’d probably have chewed her out by now. But since it was their golden girl, suddenly it was all the internet’s fault? The photo was 100% real.
“Mom, I don’t think Lydia would ever do anything like that either, but who was that guy? Why was she having dinner alone with him?” Lucinda asked, her voice carrying just the right amount of innocent concern.
Inside, Lucinda was practically bouncing with excitement. She knew it. She just knew Lydia was up to no good last night. Now everyone knew, and Lydia had nowhere to hide. This was her moment. Maybe now Connor would finally see Lydia for who she really was. Lucinda could almost see her own happy ending taking shape. Lydia would get dumped by Connor, and the Jefferson family would cut her off for good.
Just then, Tina hurried over. “Ma’am, Mrs. Shaw and Mr. Shaw are here. They’re downstairs. Sir asked me to come get you and Lydia.”
Lucinda frowned. Mrs. Shaw? That snobby lady who always acted like she was better than everyone else? What were they doing here? Lucinda just knew their visit would only mean trouble for her.
Kylie gave Lydia a quick look. Lydia said, “I need a minute to freshen up. I’ll be right down.”
“Alright, Lydia. I’ll go greet them first,” Kylie replied.
“Okay,” Lydia said.

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...
