Mandy prided herself on being tough. There was no way she’d humble herself to beg Lydia for anything. Besides, Lydia wasn’t someone who would just let things go because they asked. If they wanted out of this mess, they’d have to figure it out on their own.
She fixed Rosie with a sharp stare. “If you won’t go ask Lydia for help, then you need to tell me everything that happened. Start from the beginning. No secrets, not even the smallest detail.”
Rosie looked away, guilt written all over her face. But at this point, hiding anything wouldn’t help. So she told Mandy exactly what happened at the restaurant the night before, leaving out only her feelings for Carter.
But Mandy was her mother. She knew her daughter better than anyone. If Rosie’s only goal was to get the internet to turn on Lydia, then why had she made sure Carter wasn’t in the photos she took?
“You are into Carter, aren’t you?” Mandy said, her voice sure and steady.
The words stunned not just Rosie, but Benjamin too. His mouth dropped open, like he was trying to catch flies.
“What? Rosie, you have a crush on Carter?” Benjamin’s voice was full of disbelief, like his world had just turned upside down. He never thought his daughter would have feelings for Carter. Of all people, why Carter from the Shaw family?
The Shaws and the Hydes were basically sworn enemies. She could have fallen for anyone, but she had to pick him? Now, because of her, their reputation was trashed, and everyone was caught in the fallout.
Benjamin’s anger boiled over. He raised his hand, and the sound of his palm connecting with Rosie’s cheek cracked through the room.
Rosie stared at him, shocked. “Dad, you hit me?”

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...
