Mona shook her head quickly, her voice earnest. “This is just too crazy. I haven’t told a single person besides you guys.”
Lydia looked at her, curiosity in her eyes. “So why did you tell us?”
Mona hesitated, then said, “Because I figured you must have noticed something weird about my family too, right? Maybe you still don’t trust me, but I swear everything I’ve said is true. I actually thought about telling my dad, but what if he didn’t believe me? He and my mom are so close. If I suddenly blurted out that my mom is a clone, he’d think I was joking or just losing it completely.”
Lydia nodded. “So what did you do next?”
Mona let out a shaky breath. “After that, my mom got fixated on marrying me to someone from the Jefferson family. I thought, if I could really become part of their family, maybe I could use their power to get to the bottom of this. But now that you all know, I don’t have to go through with it anymore. I just want you to help me find my real mom.” Her voice broke a little as she added, “I don’t even know what’s happened to her. I’m so scared for her.”
Lydia paused, thinking, then met Mona’s eyes. “Did your clone ever tell you where she came from?”
Mona shook her head again, frustration plain on her face. “No. Everything was happening so fast. We were still in the elevator. I didn’t even think to ask, and she didn’t have a chance to say much before someone took her away.”
Suddenly, Lydia reached into her bag and pulled out a syringe. “This is poison. If you’re willing to let me inject it, then I’ll believe you.”
Mona stared at her, completely calm. “If you can save my mom and get rid of this fake, I’ll do it.” She rolled up her sleeve and held out her arm without hesitation.
Mikey looked startled, but Lydia’s face stayed the same, cool and collected. She pressed the syringe to Mona’s arm and pushed the plunger. “This stuff is strong. Are you scared?”
Mona held Lydia’s gaze. “So you still don’t trust me?”

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...
