Aside from Mrs. Shaw and her son, everyone in the room was caught off guard.
“Lydia, was it the Gibson family?” Mr. Jefferson asked, his face tight with anger as he watched Lydia come down the stairs.
Lydia gave a small nod. “Yes.”
Mr. Jefferson’s eyebrows pinched together. He let out a cold laugh. “The Gibson family is getting bolder by the day. Do they really think just because they have Jackson backing them up, they can do whatever they want?”
Carter looked embarrassed. “Well, this whole thing started because of me. I’m the one who dragged Lydia into it. When we get back, I’ll make a statement and clear up the misunderstanding.”
Everyone looked at him in surprise. Because of him? Why?
Before Lydia could say anything, Carter, looking uncomfortable, explained the whole story. Once he finished, eveyone finally figured it out. So it was just a mess caused by young people and their feelings. Still, no matter how Rosie felt about being rejected, her reaction was completely over the top.
Lydia didn’t hold back. “I’ll find the proof and make sure she’s held responsible for what she did.”
Most people there knew how good Lydia was at digging up evidence, so they immediately chimed in with support. “Lydia’s right. She needs to answer for her actions.”
Cameron nodded. “Exactly. And those companies spreading rumors online, those trolls who smeared Lydia’s name… None of them should get away with it.” The online troublemakers needed to be dealt with, too.
Suddenly, Mr. Jefferson turned to Cameron and Kylie. “There’s something else. When are you planning to announce Lydia’s identity?”
Mrs. Shaw joined in. “Yes, Lydia’s been back for so long. Why haven’t you told the world yet?”
Standing off to the side, Lucinda’s hands balled into fists. She hated the idea of Lydia’s identity being revealed. Even if grandpa said she and Lydia would be twins, she didn’t want the Norwood family to make it public. She wanted all the attention and honor that came with being the heiress, all for herself.

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...
