Miranda could barely contain her excitement. “That’s perfect! But honestly, those first two men you sent were totally useless. They couldn’t even get one simple thing done. I don’t get how you ended up with such hopeless staff.”
Allen just laughed. “They couldn’t do anything right. I already put them on leave.”
Miranda grinned, feeling even more smug. Her brother was really something. Ever since he became deputy chief of the Fifth Division, their family had gotten so many perks. Everything was easier now, all thanks to him.
“Alright, Allen, make sure she confesses as soon as possible. I want her to get down on her knees and beg Louise for forgiveness. She can rot in jail for three or five years, and I want a ten million payout from her too!”
Nobody messes with her daughter or crosses the Reeves family without paying for it. She was going to make sure they never forgot it.
Lydia was quickly brought to the police station. Two officers walked on either side of her, keeping her boxed in, just in case she tried anything. She walked into the interrogation room, eyes full of contempt. Corbyn was already waiting for her, ready to take the lead.
“Yesterday at noon, you assaulted a girl. She’s still in the hospital getting treated. Did you know that?”
Lydia glanced up at the security camera, then pointed straight at it. “Why isn’t the camera on? Interrogations are supposed to be recorded for fairness and transparency. What you’re doing is illegal.”
Corbyn was caught off guard, surprised that someone her age even knew about things like that. He scoffed. “Just answer the question.”
“If you don’t turn on the camera, I don’t have to answer anything. Or what, are you planning to force a confession out of me?”
Corbyn’s face turned red with anger. He shot a look at one of the officers. The guy got up and switched the camera on.
“There. Now will you answer?”
“You’re threatening me in an interrogation room. That’s illegal. You know that, right?” Lydia shot back, voice steady.
Corbyn rolled his eyes. “Don’t get cocky just because you read a couple law books. Everything you know is just surface stuff. Cut the crap and sign the paper. If you don’t, your whole family’s going to pay.”
Lydia’s smile turned icy. “So let me get this straight. I’m supposed to kneel to Louise, confess to something I didn’t do, take the punishment, and pay ten million in medical bills.”
Corbyn shrugged. “You should be grateful. Sign it.”
Lydia arched her brow. “Honestly, how much water do you have sloshing around in your brain?”

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...
