“Allen, any news? Did that girl finally confess?”
Miranda couldn’t stand the hospital. The place was too white, too cold, and the smell of disinfectant got on her nerves.
Her daughter, Louise, was even worse off. She lay in the hospital bed, complaining about how much her whole body hurt and how she just wanted to go home. Pretending to be sick was exhausting. Because her back was supposed to be injured, she couldn’t even get out of bed without risking gossip.
If Louise had to stay in this place any longer, she’d probably end up actually getting sick.
Miranda picked up her phone and called her brother again. If Lydia just confessed, all of this could be over. No more pretending. No more hospital.
Allen checked the time. It had been almost forty minutes since Corbyn last updated him. With Corbyn’s skills, dealing with a young girl should have been easy. This should have been finished by now.
“Corbyn hasn’t called me yet, but it’s probably handled. I’ll call and check in,” Allen said.
Miranda sighed. “Please do. Louise is miserable here. She just wants to go home.”
“Got it, I’ll find out what’s happening.”
Allen ended the call and dialed Corbyn’s number. No answer. He tried again. Still nothing.
He frowned, thinking Corbyn must be in the middle of the interrogation and couldn’t pick up. He decided to wait and try again in a few minutes, but then Corbyn called him back.
Allen relaxed a little, convinced the matter had been settled.
“Corbyn, how did it go?” he asked as soon as he picked up.
Corbyn hesitated. “Deputy Chief, this girl is really stubborn. No matter what I do, she won’t confess.”
“She’s already been tortured, right? Then hold her down and make her sign the papers. Do I really need to teach you something so simple, Corbyn?”
Corbyn got the message. “Yes, Deputy Chief. I’ll do it.”
“Just get it done. I’m busy.”
“Yes, sir.”
Allen had no idea what was really happening. Corbyn was surrounded by people, and Lydia was right there among them.
While Corbyn was on the phone, Lydia’s fingers flew over the keyboard. As soon as he hung up, she looked up and said, “He’s at the Neon Club on Kingsway.”

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...
