Rosie’s face went white as a sheet. Her hands gripped the edge of her dress so tightly her knuckles showed through the skin.
Benjamin moved closer, desperate to explain. “Officers, this is just a misunderstanding…”
One of the officers met his gaze, voice calm but firm. “Please don’t interfere with official business. If she’s innocent, the investigation will show it and she’ll come home.”
Mandy took a long breath, steadying herself. “Alright. We’ll cooperate.”
Honestly, what else could they do?
Rosie’s legs gave out beneath her and she sank to the floor, helpless.
When they got to the police station, the Gibson family finally learned what was going on. The four companies Rosie had paid for fake online posts had already been busted by the police.
The ringleader had skipped town and was now on the run.
Thanks to Lydia’s airtight evidence—phone records, chat logs, even bank transfers connecting Rosie and the companies—there was nothing Rosie could say in her own defense.
In order not to get dragged into the mess, Jackson had gone straight to the investigators and insisted he had no idea what the Gibsons were up to. Since he’d only just been released from questioning when everything went down, he had an alibi and managed to keep his hands clean.
Benjamin wasn’t nearly so lucky.
As Rosie’s father, people online started questioning his morals and his ability to do his job.
[Seriously? This is the Director of Protocol? Shouldn’t someone in that position actually know about ethics? Just look at his daughter.]
[Exactly. Like father, like daughter. I honestly wonder how he even got that job.]

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...
