Snowflakes started to fall outside, soft and silent, turning the world into a winter wonderland. But inside the Norwood family’s celebration, the energy was electric. The red carpet stretched from the entrance of the Royal Court Hotel all the way to the ballroom. Luxury cars kept pulling up, one after another, dropping off the city’s most important people. Nearly everyone in the Capital who mattered had been invited. The place buzzed with curiosity, little clusters of guests whispering to each other as they watched the scene unfold.
The ballroom was lit up by sparkling crystal chandeliers, making everything look bright and almost magical. Long tables were covered with beautiful food, and everywhere you looked, people were talking in small groups, catching up and trading gossip.
“Did you hear? The Norwoods are finally acknowledging their real daughter. Turns out Lucinda wasn’t actually their child. It’s Lydia, the girl who aced all her exams,” someone whispered.
“I know, right? I heard Lucinda made her life miserable. Now she’s sitting in a jail cell. Serves her right,” another guest replied.
“And get this, Connor Jefferson is apparently head over heels for Lydia. Word is, he’s planning something huge tonight.”
People couldn’t help but glance around, searching for Lydia. She stood out in the crowd in a long white dress with embroidered roses and a pair of simple silver heels. She was standing between Kylie and Cameron, her parents, with a gentle smile on her face, even though she couldn’t see what was happening around her.
Kylie squeezed Lydia’s hand, her eyes shining with pride and love. “Sweetheart, today we finally get to introduce you to everyone, just the way you deserve.”
They had waited for this day for so long. Finally, they could let the world know that Lydia was their real daughter, the only true Norwood heiress.

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...
