Lucinda’s face was full of disdain.
Internationally famous driver? Seriously? Chris was just someone who drove cars for a living. She’d had drivers since she was a kid, unless she wanted to go for a ride by herself. To her, a race car driver was just another chauffeur, maybe a bit more skilled, maybe a little faster. She couldn’t understand what was so impressive about that.
Just before the qualifying race was about to begin, Lydia’s phone lit up with a call from Chris. She frowned as she answered, and Chris' voice sounded tense on the other end. “Lydia, two of my teammates were set up.”
“What do you mean?” Lydia’s frown deepened.
“They both have awful stomach pain. There’s no way they can compete.”
Lydia got up right away. “Hang in there. I’ll be there soon.” She turned to Iceblade, who was standing behind her. “You, come with me.”
Iceblade was a racer too, though it was just his side job. He had an A-level license, but honestly, his skills were S-level.
He raised an eyebrow. “What’s going on?”
Connor chimed in, “What happened?”
“Chris' teammates are out. Looks like they can’t make it to the qualifying round.”
Connor glanced at Iceblade. “So what about him?”
Iceblade immediately looked smug, shooting Connor a cocky smile. “If you need me, I can help.”
“Let’s go,” Lydia said, giving him a quick look.
As Lydia and Iceblade started to leave, Connor reached out and caught her wrist.
That just made Lucinda even more annoyed. “Mom, my sister’s a girl. Racing is dangerous. It’s better if she doesn’t get involved. Both motorcycles and race cars are risky. There are so many accidents every year. It’s just safer to stay away.”
Connor’s voice was cool. “That’s just what people who don’t know would think.”
Lucinda felt awkward. She really didn’t know anything about racing. But did Lydia?
“Connor, I’m just worried about my sister’s safety. Girls should focus on things like music or art. Racing and motorcycles, those aren’t for girls.”
“Lydia can do anything she puts her mind to. If she likes it, that’s all that matters.”
Kylie smiled too. “She’s right, Lucinda. Your sister can do just about anything. Nothing really stumps her. She’s just so talented.”
Lucinda felt like she was going to burst from anger and jealousy, but she forced a smile and looked at Kylie. “Mom, does that mean my sister can play piano too?”

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...
