Kylie felt so disgusted she thought she might actually throw up.
Cameron noticed how upset she was and gently rubbed her back. “Don’t let them get to you. They’re not worth it. They’re just leeches. Don’t waste your health on people like that.”
He had seen through Rose and her family a long time ago, but Kylie and Rose had grown up together. Cameron didn’t want to come between them or cause drama over a few million dollars a year. He figured the only thing he could do was wait until Kylie saw their true colors herself.
Finally, that day had come.
Kylie was furious and heartbroken all at once. After all, she’d poured real emotion into her friendship with Rose. Decades of loyalty and trust, only to realize Rose saw her as nothing more than a stepping stone to a better life. How could she not be angry? Her chest ached from it.
“I really need to thank Lydia. Without her, I’d have been fooled much longer,” Kylie said, her voice trembling.
At the mention of their daughter, Cameron finally let himself smile, a wave of relief softening his features. “Yeah, who would have thought our girl would be the one to handle this mess? She can take over at the company for now. And if Rose calls again, you don’t have to answer.”
Kylie nodded. “I won’t.”
She’d made up her mind. She never wanted to see Rose or her family again. Not dragging up the past or seeking revenge for all the lies was the last bit of respect she could give to the friendship they once had.
Meanwhile, Rose sat frozen on the ground after the call ended, the hot pavement burning through her clothes. She felt like she might melt right there.
Rose was starting to panic. “What do we do now? Is Kylie seriously done with us? What are we going to do?”
In the past, whenever Rose needed anything, Kylie would always help, no matter what it was. Now, with their son locked up, they’d tried everything and Kylie had turned her back on them. They were out of options.
Parker clenched his jaw. “Cameron and Kylie think they’re better than us just because they have money. I’d like to see how calm they’d be if their son was in jail.”
“So what now? Henry’s still in there.”
“What else can we do? We go to the Norwoods. Whatever it takes, we need to get them to help us get our son out.”

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...
