Lincoln stared, completely transfixed. Yet another gorgeous girl had walked in.
“Not at all, not at all,” he said with a goofy smile, springing up to pull out a chair for Nina.
Juna rolled her eyes so dramatically it looked like they might get stuck up there. Seriously, look at this guy, tripping over himself to play the gentleman. It was almost embarrassing.
Lydia glanced at Nina beside her, then turned to Lincoln with a hint of authority. “Could you bring another set of silverware for Miss Powell?”
Lincoln nodded right away. “Of course.”
Nina let out a small laugh. “I’m good, really. I just wanted a quick word with Miss Norwood.”
Lydia could tell from Nina’s tone that this was about something specific. “Go ahead, Miss Powell. What’s on your mind?”
Nina got straight to the point. “Do you have some kind of feud with Lucinda?”
She shot a quick look at Nathaniel, since everyone knew he and Lucinda were cousins.
Lydia raised an eyebrow. “Yeah, you could say there’s a bit of history. Did she do something?”
Nina smiled, almost ruefully. “Not exactly. She just came up to me and said a bunch of things, trying to turn me against you. I’m not a fan of drama and I didn’t want to get caught up in anything, so I wanted you to know I haven’t been working with her or anything like that.”
Lydia understood right away. So Lucinda had tried to drag Nina into her games, probably hoping Nina would help her cause trouble.
“She just can’t help herself, can she?” Lydia’s voice was suddenly cool.
Juna let out a snort. “She’s such a clown.”
Nathaniel looked disgusted. “She’s always sticking her nose in where it doesn’t belong.”
Nina noticed Nathaniel’s reaction and looked a bit surprised, but she realized he was sitting with Lydia’s group and hadn’t paid Lucinda any attention all night. She decided to leave it at that.

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...
