Jenson and Milana wandered over, drawn by the commotion, just in time to hear what Clark was saying. As they listened to the whispers and gossip buzzing around them, everything quickly started to make sense.
“Mr. Lane, she’s got nothing to do with us now. She’s a Norwood. She left us for some poor family, and her whole life turned upside down. Of course she’s changed,” someone said, their voice laced with disapproval.
Milana watched Lydia run into trouble with the Lanes and didn’t even care if Lydia was still connected to the Davises. She just wanted to see Lydia suffer, conveniently forgetting who had saved her own son’s life with a kidney transplant. As long as Lydia was struggling, Milana felt satisfied. She just couldn’t stand the idea of Lydia being happy.
Vivia, hearing all this, got even more worked up. She glared at Lydia, her voice sharp. “Lydia, get down on your knees and apologize to my son right now.”
Lydia just looked at her, bored. “What do you think you can do to me if I don’t?”
Vivia scoffed. “You really think the Lane family won’t do anything? I could make sure you never find a place here in the capital again.”
A new voice rang out from the crowd. “Wow, who’s talking so big over here?”
Juna had arrived, her presence cutting through the tension in the room. Clark and Vivia recognized her instantly. They’d been to enough Davis family charity galas to know who she was.
The moment they saw her, both Clark and Vivia forced smiles onto their faces. Vivia jumped in, eager to get on Juna’s good side. “Miss Davis, you have to help us. This girl is completely out of line. She started a fight and ruined the whole atmosphere of your event.”
Lydia nearly laughed out loud. How could the Lane family be even more stupid than Jenson and Milana?
Juna tilted her head, pretending to be curious. “So, what exactly is going on between you two?”
Soren thought his moment had come. He motioned for Sandy to help him up, barely hiding his excitement. As Sandy lifted him to his feet, she tried to warn him quietly. “Soren, Miss Davis and...”
He cut her off, impatient. “Not now.”

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...
