He pulled out his phone and pulled up the file about the clone investigation, holding it out for Nina to see. “Take a look at this.”
As soon as Nina saw what was on the screen, she froze. Her fingers tightened around the phone until her knuckles went white. The words “Clone Search Protocol” seemed to blur and spin, turning into a net that tangled up her thoughts and threatened to suffocate her.
“No way. This can’t be real. It’s impossible!” She tossed the phone onto the table like it might explode. “How could my parents be clones? You must have made a mistake.”
Lydia reached across the table and gently held Nina’s shaking hand, her touch warm and steady. “Miss Powell, think about it. People don’t just change overnight for no reason. There must be something behind it, right?”
Carter saw how pale Nina looked, and he felt bad for her. Still, he knew he had to be honest. “Nina, I know this is a lot to take in. But this isn’t just about your family. It’s bigger than any of us. Lydia wouldn’t have said anything unless she was sure.”
Nina slumped back in her chair. Images of her parents flashed through her mind—the way they’d changed lately, how cold and distant they’d become, almost like she was a stranger to them. She had thought maybe they were just stressed out from fighting, that it would pass, but now…
A cold shiver crept up her spine, spreading through her whole body.
“Where are my real parents? Where did they take them?” Nina grabbed Lydia’s wrist, her nails digging in as she clung to hope. “If you know about the clones, then you must know how to find them. You have to.”
Lydia’s voice was gentle. “We’re doing everything we can to track them down. But we need your help to make it work.”
Nina pressed her hands to her face, feeling like she might break apart. This was too much. It was like she’d woken up in a nightmare she couldn’t escape.

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...
