Lydia gave a soft hum. “Take care, okay?”
Connor’s voice was laced with worry. “You too. Things are crazy out there. Promise me you’ll stay home and not go anywhere.”
All the departments had started making their moves. The illegal businesses and criminal gangs were getting busted left and right. People were scrambling to save themselves.
Lydia nodded. “I know.”
They chatted a little longer before she hung up. As soon as her phone left her hand, it started ringing again. Juna, sitting nearby, craned her neck to check the screen. “It’s Byron,” she said.
Lydia raised her eyebrows. Was something going on with Grace? With that thought, she picked up.
Byron’s voice was low and serious. “Lydia, Grace broke out. Watch yourself these days.”
Well, Lydia had been hoping Grace would show up. She still wanted to squeeze more information out of her.
“Keep eyes on her,” Lydia said. “Find out who she’s meeting with.”
“Got it.”
Elsewhere, Lucinda had just finished a deal with Blood Oath at school. Ten billion was gone in an instant. Her grip on her phone was so tight her knuckles turned white. This time, Lydia had to die! Only if Lydia was gone could she become the pampered heiress she used to be.
The next day, Lucinda was lost in her own fantasies, picturing Lydia’s “accidental” death, when her phone suddenly rang. It was between classes. She saw an unfamiliar number and almost ignored it, but the caller wouldn’t give up. Finally, she answered.
“Hello?”

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...
