Connor raised an eyebrow. “What are you talking about?”
Who would even try to steal his fiancée? Were they insane?
Grandpa Samuel let out a grumble. “How could you be so clueless? Lydia’s school forum has gone wild. All those young punks keep shouting about asking her out. It’s all over the place.”
He kept going. “You’re not as young as they are, you don’t know how to flirt like they do, and you’re not even at her school. And you’re still sitting there asking me what this means?”
Connor just fell silent.
Grandpa Samuel pressed on. “You better pay more attention to Lydia. School’s started, but you can’t just relax now. Send her gifts. Check in on her. The cafeteria food probably tastes awful, so bring her something she actually likes. Don’t even think about letting my future granddaughter-in-law slip away.”
Honestly, Grandpa Samuel just wanted to see how Lydia’s first day was going. He never expected to stumble onto a campus beauty contest with a bunch of boys plotting to chase after his grandson’s fiancée. No wonder he was anxious.
“I’ll go check,” Connor said.
Without another word, he hung up and pulled up Capital Med School’s forum.
It didn’t take long for him to spot the photo of Lydia, absolutely stunning, her whole vibe lighting up the screen.
She really was gorgeous. The picture was from earlier, when he picked her up. She had just come out of her dorm, looking for his car. The way she turned her head… even he was taken aback.
He remembered thinking, in that exact moment, that she could make anyone fall for her with just one smile.
He never realized someone else had snapped a photo and posted it online.
He scrolled through the comments, his mood sinking lower and lower.
[Ahhh, she’s so beautiful. She’s the girl of my dreams.]
[I’m ready to be her number one fan. Who’s with me?]
[Me, count me in! Maybe we’ll get lucky.]
Monica and Fiona were totally stunned. They’d never seen anything like this.
“Maybe it’s a glitch? But out of four people, how come Lydia’s the only one missing?”
“Yeah, and all the comments about her are gone too. Seriously, not even one left.”
“Everyone’s confused!”
“Oh wow, people are saying… Yara did something. Is that true?”
Monica and Fiona kept whispering in disbelief.
Daisy’s lips curved into a sly smile. “Well, you never know. Yara is the vice principal’s granddaughter. Last year, she was campus queen as soon as she arrived. Now she suddenly gets bumped down? Of course she’d be upset… Wait, am I saying too much? Monica, Fiona, just ignore me, okay? I don’t have any proof, so let’s not jump to conclusions.”
Monica and Fiona glanced at Lydia, who was sitting quietly with her phone. They thought she must be taking it hard, so they leaned in and asked in gentle voices, “Lydia, are you… okay?”

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...
