There was really just one rule everyone knew: don’t mess with Connor. If you did, you’d never see it coming.
Why else would Chris’s friends look like they’d just seen a ghost when Connor showed up?
Connor narrowed his eyes, giving Nathaniel a look that was pure warning. Nathaniel’s mind went completely blank. He tried to cover with a shaky laugh. “Oh, Connor, you’re here too… So, uh, what’s going on with you two?”
Honestly, he was baffled. Why was Connor with this girl? Wasn’t he all about keeping his distance from women? And even if he wanted to get close, didn’t he already have a fiancée? Still, Nathaniel wasn’t about to ask any of that out loud.
“Aren’t you supposed to be racing?” Connor asked, his voice low and steady.
Nathaniel felt embarrassed for being so rattled, but who wouldn’t be? This was Connor. Even Nathaniel’s dad had to think twice when dealing with him. Of all days, why did he have to run into the devil himself?
“Yeah, racing. Of course,” Nathaniel replied, trying to regain his cool. He waved over one of his guys, signaling for him to give up his car, then turned to Lydia. He was all business now, no more joking around. “Miss, what should I call you?”
“You don’t need to know my name.”
Lydia walked straight to the car and pulled open the driver’s door. Connor didn’t hesitate, sliding into the passenger seat right beside her.
She glanced at him. “Sure you can handle this?”
Connor leaned over, calmly buckling her seatbelt for her. “Absolutely.”
Meanwhile, Nathaniel climbed into another car with Evan, one of his own crew. Evan watched Lydia get behind the wheel of his car, wide-eyed.
“Boss, who is that girl? And why is Connor with her?”
Right then, a car horn sounded. Lydia was signaling that she was ready.
Nathaniel didn’t even hesitate. He slammed his foot down on the gas.
The two cars shot forward, engines roaring so loud it felt like the world shook. Lydia took the lead in an instant. Her hands were steady, her focus razor sharp. The metallic sheen of her car caught the light as she whipped through the curve, tires screeching and smoke curling up behind her like she was driving a wild animal.
“Holy crap!”
Nathaniel’s jaw dropped. He gripped the wheel and tried to catch up, but all he could see was a blur where Lydia’s car used to be.
Evan looked just as shocked. Was his car really this good? He’d done some upgrades, sure, but it was never a match for Nathaniel’s. Usually, he was lucky to even keep up, but now Lydia was making his car disappear down the track like it was nothing.

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...
