Lydia couldn’t help but laugh, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “You said it yourself, that was when I was a kid. If I remember right, back then my grandmother still had a lot of say at the company. Your Lane family needed her help, so you’d come by and visit her. But after she retired, you barely ever showed your faces again, did you?”
The words hit Clark and Vivia hard, their faces turning a shade that was almost comical.
They never thought Lydia would remember all that. And so clearly, too.
“But, but we…”
Lydia cut them off. “Save it. The truth is, you didn’t raise your son right. Today, we did you a favor and taught him a lesson for free. You should be thanking us.”
That nearly made the two of them choke with anger.
Juna was just as done with the conversation. “If you don’t get moving, you might not even find your son.”
Only then did Clark and Vivia realize Soren was already being carried out by two bodyguards.
In a split second, they rushed out after him, wailing and fussing. Just before leaving, they shot Lydia a nasty glare, making it obvious they were blaming her for everything that happened today.
They still weren’t sure if Juna’s words had been the truth. If Lydia really was Juna’s boss, what could they even do about it?
Everyone watched as Soren was carried out by the Davis family’s bodyguards. The Lane family had never been so humiliated.
But now, everyone’s curiosity was piqued. Who exactly was this Lydia, that Miss Davis would go so far to protect her?
So once the Lane family was out of the picture, someone decided to step up and ask Juna about Lydia.
“Miss Davis, I don’t think I’ve ever seen this Miss Norwood with you before. Which family is she from? Mind introducing us?”
It was a rich young guy, wearing some limited-edition designer suit. He looked laid-back, smiling with that lazy confidence, and he was about the same age as Lydia and Juna.
Juna glanced at him with a smirk. “You want to know, Lincoln?”
Juna snorted. “He wishes.”
Lincoln clicked his tongue, looking full of himself. “Then I really don’t get it. Is her fiancé actually better than me?”
Lincoln honestly believed he was the most sought-after bachelor among all the Capital’s socialites. Even the moms loved him. As far as ideal sons-in-law went, if he said he was number two, nobody would claim first place.
Lydia shot him a look that was pure disdain.
Lincoln only seemed more excited. That was exactly what he liked—her unbothered, rebellious attitude.
Juna rolled her eyes at him. “Her fiancé is at least a hundred times better than you.”
Connor was pratically a king in the Capital.

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...
