When Lydia finished speaking, Lucinda felt all the tension leave her body. Relief washed over her. At least she didn’t have to worry about anyone finding out she wasn’t the real heiress.
Cameron and Kylie were dying to show off their beloved daughter at the charity gala, but since Lydia said she wasn’t ready, they had no choice but to go along with her wishes.
The next evening came in a flash.
Lucinda clearly loved pale yellow. She wore a soft yellow princess dress with a full skirt, looking every inch the little princess—adorable, beautiful, and full of energy.
Grace couldn’t help but gush over her precious girl again.
“Lucinda, you look amazing. That dress is just made for you.”
Looking at Lucinda’s sweet and pretty face, Grace saw so much of her younger self. The resemblance was almost startling.
Sometimes, she just wanted to take out old photos of herself to show Lucinda, but it wasn’t time yet. She would wait a bit longer. When the right moment came, she’d tell Lucinda the truth. She’d let her know that her own background was just as impressive as Lydia’s.
That afternoon, Lydia said she was going to the gala with a friend, so she wasn’t home. Cameron and Kylie took Lucinda with them as they left the Norwood house.
She also saw Miss L from LYLX. She had donated more than fifty billion through the Sunrise Charity Foundation, and LYLX itself had taken part in all kinds of projects.
But when Sandy looked for the Lane family or even her own Smith family, their names were nowhere to be found.
It just didn’t seem real. How could some people be so wealthy? Wasn’t the Smith family supposed to be the richest in Lakeview Town? Yet here, they didn’t even come close. Not even a little bit.
The more Sandy thought about it, the more unfair it felt. If she could marry into one of those families on the donor list, her life would be set forever.

thank u!...
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...
