Lucinda was completely thrown off.
What did she just hear? The guy Lydia was sneaking around with last night was actually Mrs. Shaw’s son, Carter? Carter was the only son of the Minister of Defense. His family background was basically legendary. No wonder Mrs. Shaw always acted so high and mighty. But now... Carter and Lydia? Seriously?
Was being good at painting really that big of a deal? Please. Lucinda felt like she was about to lose it.
Mrs. Shaw cleared her throat and looked at Kylie. “Mrs. Robinson, honestly, the first time I met Lydia, I felt such a strong connection with her. I was thinking…”
Carter quickly tugged at his mother’s sleeve, sounding anxious. “Mom, stop it.”
Mrs. Shaw brushed him off and kept talking to Kylie. “I mean, if Lydia is interested, maybe she could give Carter a chance. He’s really down to earth, thoughtful, and caring. He…”
“Mrs. Shaw, no matter how wonderful your son is, Lydia is already engaged to my grandson,” a deep voice interrupted from the doorway.
Everyone turned. Grandpa Samuel had arrived. Mrs. Shaw’s heart skipped a beat. Why was the Jefferson family’s patriarch here? She had just tried to poach his grandson’s fiancée and now she’d been caught right in the act. The embarrassment was unreal.
Carter’s face went bright red. He had literally just told his mom not to say anything.
Kylie and Cameron hurried over to greet Mr. Jefferson. “We didn’t know you were coming, or we would have definitely come out to welcome you.”
With Grandpa Samuel’s status, people usually lined up at the door to greet him. How had he made it inside without anyone noticing? What were the security guards even doing? And why hadn’t they announced the Shaws either? It was a total breach of etiquette.

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...
