Lydia smiled, lips curling just slightly. “She really knows how to adapt, doesn’t she?”
Lucinda had kicked Caspian to the curb without a second thought, and now she was back, asking him for help.
Before hanging up, Lydia reminded her contact to keep an eye on Caspian too. Things were tense. They couldn’t afford any slip-ups now.
Lucinda honestly hadn’t expected much to come of it. That’s why she was so surprised when Caspian called the very next afternoon.
“The phone’s unlocked,” he said.
She was so relieved she almost laughed. They set up a meeting at a coffee shop near campus.
When Lucinda arrived, Caspian was already in a booth, waiting.
He stood as soon as he saw her. “Hi Lucinda.”
She nodded and took the seat across from him.
Caspian slid the phone across the table. “Here. It’s unlocked. You can check it now.”
Lucinda picked it up and asked, “You didn’t look through it, did you?”
“No,” Caspian said quickly. “The guy who did the job didn’t see anything either.”
Lucinda gave a small nod, satisfied, and powered on the phone.
Caspian kept sneaking glances her way, searching for something normal to say. After a moment, he blurted out, “So, how have you been lately?”
Lucinda was scrolling through the apps, barely paying him any attention. She glanced up, impatience clear on her face. “Same as always.”
She didn’t open anything, just locked the screen and slipped the phone back into her bag.
“Thanks,” she said, pulling a check from her purse. It was already filled out for five million.

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...
