Lucinda swept into the room in her gorgeous gown, gift in hand, a proud smile playing on her lips. Being the daughter of the city’s richest man really did open doors. That’s exactly why she kept her real background a secret. If everyone knew she was just the Norwood family’s stand-in heiress, would they still treat her like royalty? The answer was pretty obvious. Not a chance.
She had barely stepped inside when someone called her name from behind.
“Lucinda?”
She turned, a bit puzzled, and saw two girls about her age walking in together. One of them looked familiar, but Lucinda couldn’t quite remember where she’d seen her before.
“You are…?”
The girl beamed. “Hi, I’m Yara. Lucinda, I can’t believe I’m running into you here. What are the odds?”
Yara had come at Marilyn’s invitation and dragged her best friend, Tina, along for the occasion. She definitely hadn’t expected to run into Lucinda right at the door. And Lucinda wasn’t just anyone. She was Garrett Norwood’s own sister. Yara had wanted to meet Lucinda for ages, but there was never an opportunity. If she could get close to Lucinda, then getting to know Garrett would be a breeze.
Lucinda finally remembered. Wasn’t Yara the one from the Capital Med School forum? The one who was always competing with Lydia and stirring up drama? That made her… an ally. Instantly, Lucinda felt a lot warmer toward Yara.
“Nice to meet you,” Lucinda said, and she meant it. There was nothing better than meeting your enemy’s enemy.

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...
