Clark’s face darkened too.
Honestly, if the Smiths had given them even the smallest heads-up that Lydia was friends with the Davis family’s daughter, there was no way they would’ve ever messed with her. Now the Davis family was cracking down on them and they had no idea how to fight back.
“We need to talk to Mrs. Smith about this,” Clark said, his voice tight.
Vivia nodded. “You’re absolutely right. Let’s go see her right now.”
Lydia had basically been raised by the old lady. She always listened to her. If Mrs. Smith was willing to help, Lydia would probably ask the Davis family to let them off the hook.
Neither Clark nor Vivia had time to worry about Soren anymore. They just told the nurse to look after him and hurried off to the countryside at Lakeview Town to see Mrs. Smith.
They thought they were early, but someone else had gotten there first.
As soon as they stepped inside, they saw Jenson and Milana on their knees in Mrs. Smith’s courtyard.
Sandy was standing by the front door, calling out, but Mrs. Smith seemed to be ignoring her completely.
The three of them turned around when they heard noise at the gate, and saw Clark and Vivia coming in, arms full of gifts.
Milana figured the Lane family must’ve found out that Lydia was actually Miss L, and now they were here to butter up the old lady.
“Well, look who decided to show up. What brings you here today?”
The Lane family hadn’t set foot in this place in at least ten years.
Hearing the sarcasm in Milana’s voice, Vivia shot back, “Milana, at the charity event last night, you knew Lydia was close with the Davis family. You didn’t even bother to warn us. Thanks to you, we ended up offending the Davis family!”
Vivia’s patience snapped. “We dom’t know whp Smith Corporation managed to offend this time. You’re always teetering on the edge of a financial disaster. The Lane family doesn’t have unlimited money to keep patching up your messes. If you can’t handle business, don’t drag everyone else down with you.”
That one really hit a nerve for Jenson and Milana. Lydia and Juna had said almost the exact same thing to them just yesterday.
“Oh, so now you’re blaming us? You didn’t use your heads and now you want to point fingers at us? Since you’re here, let’s lay everything out. If you want to break off the engagement, you’re going to have to make it up to Sandy.”
“Make it up to you? Why should we? The engagement was supposed to be with Lydia. You switched her out for this girl from the countryside without even telling us. Did you really think just anyone could marry into the Lane family?”
Vivia’s comment made Milana furious.
And Sandy, too.
Nothing bothered her more than people bringing up her days in the village, or calling her a hick, or a nobody who didn’t belong.

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...
