Mona wasn’t having it. She stomped her foot, spun around, and rushed back to her room. The door slammed shut behind her, echoing through the hallway. Reed just shook his head and looked over at Mrs. Brown. “Can you go talk to her? Don’t let her get too carried away. I’ve got to get ready for the guests.”
Mrs. Brown watched Reed hurry off, let out a quick, annoyed sigh, then made her way toward Mona’s room.
Across town, Lydia and Malcolm were already on the road to Maple Town, heading straight for the airport. In the car, Lydia sat quietly, eyes sharp and clear as she leaned back in her seat. She tapped her fingers on the armrest, lost in thought, already working through her strategy for dealing with the Brown family.
Malcolm checked on her in the rearview mirror. “Ms. Norwood, what’s our plan once we get to Maple Town? Should I let any of the other departments know we’re coming?”
Lydia shook her head. “No, not this time. I just need to meet Mr. Brown. Their family is complicated enough as it is. I’ll talk to Reed first and see how things look.”
Malcolm nodded, not pushing for more details. He knew Lydia always had her own way of handling things. He just needed to follow her lead.
Meanwhile, Mikey’s plane was about to land at Maple Town airport. His mood was all over the place.
Back at the house, Mrs. Brown had managed to cheer Mona up. Now Mona was making a big production out of choosing her outfit and getting ready. She stood in front of a giant mirror, slipping into dress after dress, each one more glamorous than the last. The soft light from the crystal chandelier made her skin look extra smooth and her makeup flawless.
“Mom, which one do you think looks best?” Mona asked, her voice full of indecision.
Mrs. Brown smiled. “You’re young, you’re beautiful, and your figure is perfect. Honestly, you look amazing in all of them.”

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...
