“Yes, ma’am. I’ll get started right away.”
Wendy nodded, trying hard not to cry. Milana’s voice cut through the air again. “Where are those idiots?”
“They’re all waiting in the reception room. Mr. Brooks is with them now.”
Milana scoffed. “What a bunch of losers. Give them money and send them packing. And let them know, Smith Corporation will never work with them again.”
The people who showed up that day were a real mix. Some had broken their contracts first. Others were demanding compensation because Smith Corporation couldn’t deliver. It was a mess.
Jenson called in the finance and legal teams to witness everything.
The CFO started crunching the numbers, but the more he calculated, the more anxious he looked.
“Mr. Smith, with everyone who’s registered, we’re going to need at least forty million. We don’t have enough.”
Milana’s eyes nearly popped out. “That’s still not enough?”
The CFO nodded. “Ma’am, you can check the numbers yourself.”
Jenson turned to Sandy. Milana did too.
Sandy felt their eyes on her and got defensive. “Why are you both staring at me?”
“We gave you thirty million before. Now we need you to come up with twenty million,” Jenson said.
Cash was what they needed most, and Sandy definitely had it.
She couldn’t believe they were after her money again. She shook her head. “I transferred it into a fixed deposit. I can’t take it out right now.”
Milana felt like Sandy was going to give her a heart attack, but she could only nod. “Fine.”
Sandy knew exactly how valuable Milana’s jewelry was, so she wasn’t worried about her going back on her word.
With Sandy’s twenty million, plus what Jenson could scrape together, they finally managed to settle up with everyone causing trouble.
Lydia got the news just as she and Connor landed back in the city.
Juna’s laughter was loud in her ear. “Babe, you have no idea. Your adoptive parents are probably so mad they’re about to burst a blood vessel. Twenty million isn’t going to fix much. So what’s your next move?”
Lydia thought for a moment. “My dear adoptive mother still has plenty of treasures left. I’ll let her make a few more trips to the pawnshop before I step in.”
Juna whistled. “If they ever find out you own that pawnshop, do you think they’ll be so mad they’ll jump off a building?”

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...
