To Lucinda, playing the piano was definitely not something you could pick up overnight. If you wanted to be truly great, you had to put in the work from the time you were a kid, just like she had. As for Lydia, well, she was just an uncultured country girl. Lucinda was convinced there wasn’t a musical bone in her body.
Kylie paused for a second, then said, “Your sister is always so busy. She doesn’t have time for these kinds of hobbies.”
Cameron, sitting next to Connor, quickly chimed in, “Exactly. If Lydia ever wanted to learn, we could bring in Maestro Richie to teach her. She’s smart enough, I’m sure she’d do well.”
Lucinda couldn’t help but scoff to herself. Lydia just didn’t have any music talent. Why did her parents sugarcoat it with all these fancy excuses? The whole group was so obviously biased toward Lydia, it was ridiculous.
Meanwhile, Lydia and Iceblade had already found Chris. He and his teammates were dressed in their racing suits, but two of them looked awful—slumped back in their chairs, faces pale as ghosts.
“Lydia!” Chris spotted her and hurried over, glancing at Iceblade following behind. “Who’s this?”
“This is Jay. He’s a racer too.”
Chris' eyes lit up. “Seriously?”
“Yeah. But first, let me check on those two.”
Lydia walked over to the pale teammates. “What did you guys eat this morning?”
“We had breakfast with Chris. Then, a little while ago, we got thirsty and drank half a bottle of water.”
“Where’s the water?”
Chris grabbed the bottle and handed it to her. Lydia twisted off the cap, took a sniff, and let out a cold laugh. “Just as I thought.”
Chris frowned. “Lydia, is something wrong with the water?”
“There’s magnesium sulfate in here. It’s a laxative. Right now, it’s just stomach cramps, but in about five or ten minutes, you’ll both be running for the bathroom.”
“But the bottle was sealed when we opened it.”
“It’s possible to open it, add the drug, and reseal it so no one can tell,” Lydia said. “Looks like Team Country D came ready to play dirty.”
Under her helmet, her eyes shone with determination, bright and sharp like stars. The fabric of her suit looked sleek and high-tech, every detail designed for speed. Just standing there, she gave off this unstoppable energy, like she was ready to rule the race and push every limit.
“Get in your cars.”
Chris led the team to the starting area. Every driver had to go through an inspection. When the officials checked Lydia’s license, their jaws dropped. They practically did a double-take.
That couldn’t be right, could it?
NO1.
She was actually the world-famous racing legend, NO1.
“Excuse me, ma’am, could we take a picture with you?”

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...
