“I’ll have my people keep watch. When they show up to move the goods after midnight, we’ll catch them in the act.”
“No need to go through all that. They’ll have to move everything out anyway. Let’s just head to the station now and come back later with the police. Doesn’t that sound a lot more fun?”
Connor arched an eyebrow, eyeing Lydia with a smile that grew a little wider. Lydia looked completely in control, cool and confident, like she always knew what to do. He could already tell tonight was going to be interesting.
Lydia drove Connor to the Capital’s First Precinct. Aiden was already waiting for them out front.
As soon as he saw them, Aiden hurried over. “Boss, Lydia, all twenty-two of those guys in black are in custody and being questioned. We just got word that Parker and Rose were caught at the airport and will be brought in soon.”
Right after he spoke, a row of police cars pulled up, lights flashing bright against the night.
Lydia couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. “That was quick.”
First Precinct really lived up to its reputation. They didn’t mess around.
Two officers got out of the lead car and opened the back. A disheveled Parker and a wailing Rose were pulled out, both looking a complete mess.
“Officer, we’re being set up! We have our reasons, really! Please, can I borrow your phone, just for one call? I just need to call Kylie. This is all just a big misunderstanding!”
The officers ignored Rose’s crying. Her face was pale and tired, but when she spotted Lydia standing by the doors, her whole expression changed.
“Ms. Norwood! Ms. Norwood, please, explain to the officers! We never meant to kidnap you! We just wanted to talk, Ms. Norwood!”
Lydia let out a short, cold laugh. “You followed me to Lakeview Town with over twenty men in black and threatened me with stun guns, and you call that wanting to talk?”
Rose went even paler. “They just wanted to scare you! You’re totally fine, aren’t you?”
It felt like a dream. Even though he’d retired three years ago, to them he would always be the nation’s hero.
Byron, the captain in charge, couldn’t hide his excitement. He straightened his uniform, stood at attention, then walked over to Connor with a look of pure awe.
His voice shook a little. “Gen—”
Connor raised his hand, stopping him before he could finish. “Just treat me like any regular citizen.”
Byron tried to calm himself down. “Of course, Mr. Jefferson. May I ask what brings you to the station tonight?”
Lydia couldn’t help but react to Byron’s voice. For some reason, it sounded oddly familiar, almost like…
“They tried to kidnap my fiancée.”

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...
