Lucinda could tell Grace was upset and tried to smooth things over. “It was just a letter. It fell in the water and I couldn’t get it back. You wrote it, right? Just tell me what it said.”
Grace felt drained, her energy slipping away. “What about the phone and the black card? You have them with you, don’t you?”
Lucinda nodded. “Yeah, I’ve got them. Grace, that phone… I looked through it. How could you get involved in all that? Seriously, you can’t keep doing this. It’s way too dangerous. I don’t even dare turn the phone on anymore.”
Grace didn’t even know where to start explaining. The truth was, she really needed that phone now. And the money.
She took a slow breath and said, “Lucinda, can we meet tonight? Bring the phone, and transfer a hundred million from the black card to me. I need it, it’s urgent.”
Grace had just broken out of prison, and the people who helped her escape said things were tense, with police everywhere. They needed cash to keep moving. She also had to get in touch with Night Eagle fast. All of this needed serious money and the right people.
Lucinda sounded nervous. “I locked the phone in the Norwood family’s safe. I have to wait until I go home for the weekend tomorrow.”
Grace let out a frustrated sigh. “Alright, we’ll deal with the phone when you get home. But I need money now. Just transfer me a hundred million first.”
Lucinda hesitated again.
Grace thought maybe she was just being cautious. “Lucinda, I really need it. I swear I’ll pay you back double once this is over.”
Everything she owned was Lucinda’s anyway. And Night Eagle only ever had one daughter. In the end, all of his assets would go to Lucinda. Even if she wasn’t the Norwood family’s daughter, she’d still have everything. It was just that Lydia had barged in out of nowhere, and the Jefferson family had messed everything up. Otherwise, their plan would have worked a long time ago.
Lucinda paused, then finally said, a little embarrassed, “Grace, maybe I can give you thirty million first? That’s… all I have right now.”
“What kind of assassin charges a billion? Lucinda, you got scammed!”
Grace knew every trick in the book. The second she heard Lucinda’s story, she knew she’d been played.
Lucinda froze, her blood running cold.
Scammed? No way. That couldn’t be true.
“They’re legit. It’s a real assassin group,” she insisted.
Grace could barely hold back her frustration, almost shouting, “They’re assassins, Lucinda. How ‘legit’ can they possibly be?”

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...
