Lydia’s words sent a ripple of shock through the room.
Grace’s face drained of color, and beads of sweat broke out on her forehead. No way. She had been so cautious, covering every track. How could Lydia have traced it all the way back to the Norwood family? The people she hired weren’t even from the same place. Lydia must be bluffing.
Lucinda shot a quick glance at Grace, her hands clenching even tighter. If Lydia really had proof it was Grace…
Kylie and Cameron turned toward Lydia, stunned.
“Lydia, you mean one of those IPs is from our house?”
Lydia nodded. “Yeah.”
Cameron slammed his hand onto the table, furious. “Unbelievable! The culprit is actually here, under our own roof!”
Kylie was so angry her breath caught in her throat. “Lydia, can you figure out who it is?” she demanded. “I want to see who could be this low.”
Lucinda and Grace felt their hearts stop, shrinking into themselves like kids caught red-handed.
Lydia’s eyes lingered on Lucinda for a second, her expression unreadable. Lucinda’s pupils contracted, her heart pounding so hard it almost hurt. What was Lydia getting at? Did she really know something?
Then Lydia’s gaze shifted to Grace. A chill crept up Grace’s spine. Lydia only ever looked at her like that when something bad was about to happen.
Before Grace could even process her fear, Lydia’s voice rang out, cool and calm. “Who lives in Building 3, Room 201?”
Grace’s mind went blank. She froze, her thoughts scattering. In an instant, everyone who knew where Grace stayed turned to look at her, their faces a mix of shock and disbelief.
No one could believe it. Grace bullying the staff was one thing, but going after Lydia online? That was bold, even for her.
[Girls like her deserve to be called out. Whispering to one guy while flirting with others. She’s a cheater!]
There were so many posts just like these, and Lydia had lined them all up, the evidence impossible to ignore. Anyone reading them would be furious.
“You bitch!”
Elliot didn’t hesitate. He kicked Grace, sending her sprawling.
“The Norwood family treated you like one of our own, and you repay us by smearing Lydia’s name? How could you?”
Grace was in shock. She couldn’t understand how Lydia had found all of this. She’d deleted everything, she was sure of it. How could this be happening?

thank u!...
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...
