[Oh my god, Lucinda is incredible. I knew she’d ace the finals and come out on top.]
[Seriously, Lucinda, you’re the best. You owe us a big dinner now.]
[I can’t believe it. The top scorer in the whole school is in our class. That’s insane.]
[Does this mean our class is going to end up on the news or something?]
The group chat blew up. Everyone started tagging Lucinda, flooding her with congratulations.
Lucinda turned off her phone, her hands clenched so tight her knuckles went white. Why did her teacher have to make such a big deal out of it? As if she wasn’t embarrassed enough. Now the whole class thought she was the top scorer. She was going to lose her mind.
Lydia quietly stood up.
For a second, everyone in the room just stared. It hit them all at once. The top scorer wasn’t just smart and pretty, she was tall, confident, and her presence was magnetic. She looked like she belonged on a magazine cover.
A recruiter from the National Drama Academy stepped forward, eyes practically shining. “Lydia, have you thought about coming to our school? With your looks and talent, you’d be a star in no time.”
He couldn’t hide his excitement. Lydia was stunning. Every detail about her, from her posture to her smile, was flawless. If she ever went into entertainment, she’d be famous worldwide in a heartbeat.
Lydia gave him an apologetic smile. “Sorry, I’m actually more interested in going to medical school.”
The room went quiet for a moment.
Capital Med School?
The perfect scorer wanted to go to Capital Med School?
Capital Med was a respected university, especially known for traditional and integrative medicine, but its highest admission score was only 690. That was nowhere near as competitive as Oakwood or Capital College.
If Lydia wanted to study medicine, she’d have a way brighter future at Oakwood or Capital College. Why would she pick Capital Med, a place most people wrote off as old-fashioned? What was it about traditional medicine that made it so special to her? Why would someone with a perfect score dream of going there?

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...
