“I can’t believe that old woman was sitting on so much money. Just the company shares alone are worth over a billion,” Milana said, her eyes shining. She had waited years for this day, and finally, the old lady’s private fortune was theirs. It hadn’t been easy to get here.
Jenson was just as excited. “Once we sell off some of those shares, we’ll have another billion in cash. We can finally fix all the gaps in the company’s finances.”
Sandy hadn’t expected her grandma to have such a huge fortune either. Her tone turned sour. “Grandma had all this money, and she wanted to leave every cent to Lydia. She was so unfair.” Sandy just couldn’t wrap her head around it. She was the real granddaughter, but it was like Grandma had been put under some kind of spell by Lydia and just insisted on giving her everything.
Milana let out a cold laugh. “Well, all the assets in the will belong to us now. Lydia doesn’t have anything to do with it anymore.”
Jenson stood taller, sounding proud. “It was always supposed to be ours. I’m her only son. Of course I should inherit everything.”
Sandy gave her parents a smile. “Remember what we agreed? Half of the Smith family fortune goes to Luke, and half goes to me.”
The happy expressions on Jenson and Milana’s faces faded in an instant.
Sandy looked at her mom. “You promised me, remember? You haven’t forgotten, right?”
Milana clenched her jaw, then forced a smile. “Of course, Sandy. We’d never go back on our word. All the company’s assets will be for you and Luke in the future.”
Thinking of Lydia, Sandy couldn’t help but worry. “Lydia already bought up Lane Enterprises for next to nothing. If she sees our company bounce back and finds out we changed the will, what do you think she’ll do?”
Milana looked smug, as if having the money made her invincible. “Lydia? Those assets belong to the Smith family. She’s not one of us, so why should she get anything? Even if she drags us to court, I’m not scared.”
Jenson nodded in agreement. “Exactly. The Smith family’s property stays with the Smith family. She has no claim.”
Milana turned to Jenson, her mood lighter. “Honey, the company’s finally safe. And Luke’s turning sixteen soon. Should we throw him a big birthday party?”

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...
