Marilyn found Maisie, Yara, Tina, and Lucinda already sitting together, so she joined them.
Maisie kept glancing over at Lydia, her lips curling in a sneer. “She actually showed up? After everything?”
Maisie had always been close with Rosie, and ever since Rosie ended up in jail, Maisie’s mood had been dark.
Marilyn leaned in, a sly smile on her face. She lowered her voice, “Lydia’s gotten way too full of herself lately. Why don’t we do something to knock her down a notch, embarrass her a little?”
Lucinda just smirked and swirled her juice, saying nothing. If Lydia couldn’t get along with her schoolmates, that was her own problem.
Maisie’s eyes flashed. “I’ve had enough of Lydia. Today’s the perfect chance, and I’m not letting her off easy. I have to stand up for Rosie.”
Yara jumped in, eager to stir things up. “Exactly. She always acts like she’s better than everyone else. If we can humiliate her tonight at the birthday party, maybe she’ll finally quit acting so superior.”
Tina and Lucinda exchanged a quick look. They didn’t say anything, but they weren’t stopping this either.
Meanwhile, Lydia was ready to leave. She felt like she’d already done what she came to do, and she leaned toward Juna and Lincoln to say she was heading out. That’s when she noticed Maisie walking toward them, wine glass in hand, swaying like she was on a catwalk.
Maisie’s heart hammered in her chest, a mix of nervousness and excitement. She kept picturing Lydia’s face—surprised, embarrassed, covered in red wine.
Maisie arrived at their table and forced a bright, fake smile. “Well, if it isn’t our little genius.”
Lydia looked at her calmly. “What do you want?”

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...
