Jenson just froze. For a second, he couldn’t even process what Sandy had just said. Did she really not care at all? These were her real parents. Lydia had practically hurt them into being bedridden, and Sandy couldn’t even pretend to care?
“Sandy, you—”
Before Jenson could get another word out, Milana snatched the phone, her voice shaking with fury. “You listen to me! How are you any better than Lydia? We are your parents. We need you now, and this is how you treat us?”
Milana already felt like she was about to faint. Sandy’s attitude was the last straw—her head was spinning.
Sandy didn’t back down. “There is a difference between me and Lydia. At least I wasn’t raised by you, but she was. If you want someone to care for you, call Lydia. Or maybe your precious son. I’ve already done more than enough for you.”
She hung up right then, leaving Jenson and Milana so furious they nearly passed out.
“That girl! How could she do this to us!” Milana was shaking, the pain in her body forgotten as she forced herself upright. If she hadn’t been feeling so awful, she would have marched upstairs and given Sandy a piece of her mind.
Jenson didn’t have the energy to argue anymore. He just sighed. “Let’s just wait for the ambulance to take us to the hospital.”
He knew Sandy was mad about the twenty million they’d forced her to hand over today.
Milana was just about losing it. This was the daughter they’d searched so hard to find? What had they done to deserve this? Was every child they raised this heartless?
After all this went down, Lydia’s phone wouldn’t stop ringing. She ignored every call, basically going off the grid. Anyone who really knew her probably guessed she was behind it, but she wasn’t about to explain herself—not yet.
The government had to do something to calm everyone down, so they issued a citywide search order.
Lydia had stayed up most of the night working on medicine for Connor’s eyes. When she finally woke up, she found a message from Iceblade: [That’s ruthless.]
She scoffed and typed back: [If Blood Oath caught a traitor, what do you think they’d do?]
Truth was, Lydia had no clue what Iceblade was really after. He always insisted he was Blood Oath for life, that he’d never leave. So why was he secretly leaking their plans to her, giving her a head start to prepare?

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...
