Krista nodded. “Yeah, I checked. He’s out cold. Nothing could wake him.”
Carter nodded too. “Alright, let’s move fast. The longer we wait, the more likely something goes wrong.”
The three of them crept quietly toward Erik’s room. Erik was sprawled out on the bed, completely dead to the world. Krista eased the door open while Juna and Carter slipped inside and made their way to the bedside.
Carter was just about to give Erik the injection when suddenly, the door burst open and Victoria stormed in.
“What are you doing?” she shouted.
Juna and Carter jumped, the syringe nearly slipping from Carter’s hand. Krista’s heart sank. Of all times for Victoria to show up, it had to be now.
Thinking fast, Juna grabbed the medicine Lydia had given her and held it under Erik’s nose, making sure he breathed in the fumes.
“Oh my God! This is insane! Krista, you evil bitch! You brought people here to hurt Erik!” Victoria’s voice shook with panic and fury.
“Just stop!” Krista snapped, rushing over to cover Victoria’s mouth.
But Victoria thought Krista was trying to silence her for good, and she started screaming even louder.
“Help! Somebody help! Murder! Help me!”
Thankfully, Krista had sent almost all the staff away for the day, leaving only a couple of loyal people behind. If not, Victoria’s screams would have had everyone running over.
Desperate, Krista grabbed Victoria and hissed, “He isn’t Erik. He’s a clone.”
Victoria had no idea what Krista was talking about. She didn’t believe a word, and she fought her way toward the bed, trying to grab the syringe from Carter.

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...
