The head of security looked smug as he reached out to grab Juna’s arm. “Ladies, if you’re not part of the Reynolds family, you shouldn’t be here. It’s time for you to go.”
Juna snapped his hand away, her face stormy. “Hey, what do you think you’re doing? Keep your hands off me! We have invitations. Why are you trying to kick us out?”
She pulled a gold-embossed invitation from her clutch and waved it in his face. The guard barely glanced at it, his voice dripping with doubt. “Where you got that? For all I know, it’s fake.”
Their argument quickly caught the attention of nearby guests, and soon everyone was watching. Whispers spread across the room. So these two were gate-crashers after all?
Just as the tension hit its peak, Peyton’s voice rang out, clear and firm. “Stop! What’s going on here?”
She hurried through the crowd, looking annoyed, and pushed her way to stand beside Lydia and Juna. Turning to the security guards, she snapped, “These are my friends. How can you treat them like this?”
The guards froze, completely thrown off. “Miss, but, uh…”
Alyssa walked over, her eyes narrowed with suspicion. “Peyton, I’ve never seen these friends of yours before. You can’t just bring anybody into our house. Today’s Mom and Dad’s anniversary. Don’t make a scene.”
Peyton used to be intimidated by her older sister. Not anymore. She met Alyssa’s gaze head-on and gave a cool smile. “You’re so busy with work. How would you even know who my friends are? I have tons of friends. I can’t report every single one to you, right?”
Adrian and Ivonne arrived, drawn by the commotion. Ivonne looked around, clearly flustered. “What’s happening? Why is there so much noise at our party?”

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...
