For once, Lucinda felt like she’d found someone who truly got her. Listening to Rose vent about Lydia, it was like meeting an old friend who shared all her frustrations.
“Ever since Lydia started at the company, Mr. Ragain and I haven’t had a single peaceful day,” Rose complained, her voice rising. “Now everyone at work is fed up with her, but your parents act like she’s the best thing that ever happened. They ignore everything we say. Lucinda, can you please talk to them for my sake? We just want what’s best for the company.”
Lucinda acted shocked. “Really? So much has been going on at the office these past couple of days?”
Rose started crying even harder. “Yes, Lucinda. Can you please let meknow, who is this Lydia anyway? Why are your parents so taken with her? It’s like they can’t tell right from wrong anymore.”
Rose had been wracking her brain, but she still couldn’t figure out where Lydia had come from.
“Uh… Did my mom not tell you?” Lucinda looked uncomfortable. The truth was, she didn’t want to say anything. She definitely didn’t want anyone to know that Lydia was the real Norwood heiress, while she was just some farmer’s daughter from the sticks.
Rose shook her head. “No, she didn’t. Lucinda, do you know something? Please, just tell me, okay?”
Lucinda looked helpless. “If my mom didn’t tell you, how could I? You’ll just have to wait for her to say it herself.”
Rose was not giving up. “Lucinda, please, just tell me. If you do, I swear I won’t breathe a word to anyone.”
Lucinda glanced around, then leaned in and whispered, “She saved my grandpa’s life. She just came from the countryside. Now she’s living here as my mom’s daughter. You can’t tell anyone about this.”
“What?” Rose’s eyes went wide.
Parker let out a cold snort. “I knew it. I’ve never heard of her in the Norwood family before. So she saved the old man, and Kylie and Cameron just took her in as a daughter because they felt they owed her?”
Rose rolled her eyes. “She’s just a random girl. What’s so special about her? Kylie and Cameron are only letting her act out because they feel guilty.”
A dark look came over Parker’s face, his lips curling into a cold smile. “If that’s how it is, then I’m gonna get real.”
Rose seemed to sense what he was thinking. She looked worried. “Honey, what are you planning?”
He waved her off. “Relax. I’ll have someone handle her quietly. Think of it as doing the Norwood family a favor, getting rid of a problem. Who knows, maybe Cameron and Kylie will even thank me later.”

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...
