She stared in shock. Grace? Wasn’t Grace supposed to be on the run? How could Lucinda still be in touch with her? Kylie felt a wave of disbelief and anger crash over her. She never imagined Lucinda would keep sneaking around, still talking to Grace in secret.
These last couple of days, Grace had been so upset by Lucinda’s decisions, she almost thought she’d have a heart attack. But what could she do? Lucinda was her own daughter. Sometimes, Grace honestly wished Lucinda could be a little more like Lydia, clever and level-headed. Why did the smart kids always seem to belong to someone else? Just thinking about it made her chest tight.
“Let’s meet at a restaurant tonight,” Grace said. “In a couple of days, I’ll have to leave for a while.” She sounded tired, worn out from constantly hiding and pretending to be someone else. Life as a fugitive was exhausting.
Lucinda’s eyes went wide. “You’re leaving? Where are you going?” Grace was her anchor right now, and she felt lost at the idea of her leaving.
Grace let out a deep breath, her voice softer. “Don’t worry. I’m not abandoning you. I just need to step away for a bit. I’ll come back soon.” The truth was, Lucinda had burned through all of Grace’s money. Grace had already explained everything to Night Eagle, hoping he could talk to Blood Oath and maybe get some of it back. Even a little would help. Plus, she needed to go abroad to meet some people before returning to deal with Lydia. Lydia was a big problem that had to be dealt with, once and for all.
Lucinda blurted out, “But… what about the plan to take down Lydia?” She couldn’t wait any longer. She was desperate.
Out in the hallway, Kylie overheard and her eyes flew open. Did she just hear that right? Take down Lydia? Her anger flared, her vision almost blurring with rage.
Lucinda!
Even now, she was teaming up with Grace, the escaped felon, hurting Lydia. Kylie could barely contain herself. She reached for the door, ready to burst inside, when suddenly someone grabbed her arm and pulled her into another bedroom.

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...
