Jackson scanned the room with sharp, watchful eyes, finally zeroing in on Rosie, Mandy, and Benjamin.
His voice was low and steady. “These next three months are crucial for me. I mean it. No one can step out of line. Keep your heads down. The investigation team is watching me like hawks, and anything you do could be used against me.”
Rosie’s fingers curled tight around the edge of her dress, her heart thudding in her chest. She had just paid off those social media companies. That shouldn’t come back to bite her, right? And honestly, it wasn’t even her fault. If Lydia had a fiancé, why was she still flirting with other guys? Rosie didn’t see how she’d done anything wrong.
As that thought crossed her mind, she risked a glance up and immediately caught Jackson’s piercing stare. She ducked her head and pretended to fix her hair, hoping he hadn’t seen the guilt on her face.
Mandy, on the other hand, stayed cool. “Don’t worry, Jackson. We know how serious this is. We’re not going to make things harder for you.” She understood how things worked in the upper circles of the Capital, where one small mistake could drag you into a mess you’d never escape.
Mrs. Hydes squeezed Jackson’s hand, her expression worried. “You need to watch out for yourself too. Rosie knows what’s at stake. They won’t do anything reckless.”
Jackson’s face didn’t soften. He turned to Benjamin, his voice firm. “And at the Ministry, you need to stop making waves. William’s in the middle of a clean-up, so just lay low. Don’t even think about transferring departments. Right now, any unusual move could turn into a scandal.”
Benjamin’s face went pale, then red. He swallowed. “I get it.”
He was frustrated with William, but after hearing Jackson’s warning, he wasn’t about to risk it.

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...
