Cameron and Kylie had been planning to talk to her, but when they saw Lucinda waiting up, their hearts melted a little.
There she was, still so thoughtful, staying up late just to make sure they got home safe and already asking about her sister. It confirmed what they’d always believed. Lucinda would never do anything to hurt Lydia.
“Lucinda, sweetheart, you don’t need to worry. We just went to the police station. Your sister’s still there,” Kylie said, reaching out and gently taking her hand. “Look at you, though. You were so anxious you forgot your slippers. The floor’s cold. You’ll catch a chill.”
Lucinda looked up, eyes wide and innocent. “I was just so worried about you and Dad. I rushed out and forgot. It’s fine, Mom, really. But what about Lydia? Why is she still at the station? Did something happen? Even with you both there, she couldn’t come home?”
She furrowed her brow, looking the picture of concern, but inside she was almost giddy with happiness.
Cameron felt even more certain that Lucinda must have had her reasons for what she’d said earlier.
“It’s okay, Lucinda. Lydia didn’t do anything wrong. Actually, she did something incredible for the company.”
Lucinda stared at him, stunned. That didn’t make sense.
How could Lydia, that clueless country girl, have only just started at the company and already pulled off anything impressive?
“Oh, Lucinda, you have no idea how amazing your sister is,” Kylie said, pride shining in her eyes and voice. “If it weren’t for her, I’d still be in the dark about Rose and Parker lying to me all this time!”
For a moment, Lucinda’s face went stiff, but she quickly put on a look of surprise. “Really? Lydia’s that capable? But… why did you have to go to the police station, then? And what did Rose and Parker do?”
Inside, Lucinda was furious. Why did they fail? What a waste of a perfect chance.
“Dad, Mom, Lydia’s honestly incredible. I can’t believe so many people couldn’t beat her. I really admire her,” she said, putting on her best wide-eyed look.
Cameron nodded. “She really is impressive. But Lucinda, when we were at the police station, something came up that we need to ask you about.”
Lucinda blinked, looking as innocent as ever. “What’s that, Dad?”
Cameron hesitated for a moment, then said, “Parker and Rose told us that when they came to the house this afternoon looking for us, you told them Lydia was our goddaughter. Is that true?”

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...
