Lincoln let out a quiet laugh. “She only goes after people she can push around.”
He remembered his mom mentioning how Victoria used to make Krista’s life miserable. Honestly, it was sad. The Bland family owed everything to Krista’s family, the Rock family. Most of their wealth had come from them in the first place. But after Krista’s parents passed away, the Blands took over the Rock family’s assets and claimed them as their own. Krista’s life had gone downhill ever since.
Lydia, Juna and Lincoln mumbled, heading over to Marilyn and Erik.
Marilyn had been standing there with her usual polite smile, but the moment she spotted Lydia, her expression froze. A flicker of annoyance flashed in her eyes.
Why was Lydia here? She hadn’t even invited her. Did she have no shame at all? At Capital Med School, Lydia always managed to outshine her. Now, on her own grandmother’s birthday, Marilyn definitely didn’t want Lydia stealing the spotlight again.
“Mr. Bland, it’s been a while,” Juna said first, a soft smile on her lips.
The Bland and Davis families did business together, and Erik had always tried hard to get in the Davis family’s good graces. That was why he sent them an invitation—he’d hoped maybe the Davis patriarch would come and give the event some extra weight. He hadn’t expected Juna to show up instead, but honestly, having anyone from the Davis family there was good enough. It meant they actually cared about the Blands.
“Miss Davis, we’re so glad you showed up.”
Juna smiled. “I brought a couple of friends with me today. Hope that’s alright, Erik.”
Erik glanced over at Lincoln and Lydia. He didn’t really know Lydia, but Lincoln he recognized right away. That’s the only son of the Lowe family. Practically royalty.
“Of course you’re welcome. We’re just worried we might not host you all properly, Miss Davis, Lincoln, and—”
He watched Lydia, a bit uncertain, though she did seem familiar.

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...
