“Let me introduce someone important,” Cameron said, his voice full of pride. “This is our daughter, Lydia.”
Benjamin stood there, stunned and speechless. He couldn’t even get a single word out.
Mabel just rolled her eyes. “Stop being an eyesore there. Go check in at the police station.”
That’s when it finally clicked for Benjamin. The reason their plan fell apart was simple. They had never really figure Lydia out at all.
Once Benjamin was gone, everyone returned to the main hall. Suddenly, Mr. Robinson’s excited voice rang out. “Wait, is this… Is this an painting by Owen?”
Mrs. Robinson’s face lit up. “It is! And it’s a brand new piece. Look, the date says it was painted just yesterday. That’s incredible!”
William walked in and asked, “Is this really a painting by Owen?”
Mrs. Robinson nodded, looking thrilled. “Yes. Your dad’s been obsessed with Owen’s work these past few years, but Owen is so mysterious. They almost never appear in public, and it’s impossible to get them to take commissions. I can’t believe Kylie and Cameron brought not one, but two of their paintings today.”
Kylie and Cameron looked at each other, confused. “We didn’t bring any paintings by Owen.”
Everyone immediately turned to look at Blake and Elliot.
They both shook their heads. “Not us.”
Owen’s paintings definitely weren’t in their stack of gifts either.
So now, every eye in the room landed on Lydia.
Lydia stayed calm and said, “Grandpa, I’m glad you like them.”
Mr. Robinson looked surprised. “Lydia, do you know Owen?”
Lydia blinked. “Well… Connor knows them. Yesterday, I asked Connor to take me to visit.”
Nathaniel eyed the gifts, looking a bit uncertain. He wasn’t sure those were really his style.
Mabel was instantly excited. “Lydia, I think this boy needs a makeover. He’s always running around in who-knows-what. He should try looking a little more polished and gentlemanly. Otherwise, how’s he ever going to find a girlfriend?”
“Mom, you’re totally underestimating me,” Nathaniel protested.
Lydia reached back into her bag and pulled out a small booklet, handing it over. “I figured you’d like this.”
Nathaniel’s eyes lit up the second he saw the cover.
“No way. A racing playbook!”
Everyone else looked confused.
Nathaniel clutched the booklet to his chest and cheered, “This is perfect! With this, our team is definitely going to beat Chris’s crew!”

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...
