Leo was there too, which made it obvious he was in on everything.
“Honestly, aside from Elliot, there’s hardly anyone in this company who can compare to you,” Leo said, sounding a bit shy as Lydia stood in front of the company’s wall of awards. The truth was, Lorelei’s reputation in the music world was on another level.
“They each have something special about them,” Lydia replied, keeping it simple. For her, singing was just a hobby. She never really mixed with the entertainment crowd, so she barely knew anyone in the industry. In fact, almost no one actually knew her. They only knew her by her stage name, Lorelei.
“Come check out my studio. You can rest there for a bit,” Elliot offered, clearly enjoying having his sister around.
Lydia nodded. “Sure.”
Elliot’s studio was filled with screens, each one showing his roles from different films and shows. Every character looked like they had a life of their own, and the whole place was honestly impressive.
Just then, someone knocked at the door. A staff member peeked in. “Hey, Leo, security just called. Elliot’s sister is here. Should I bring her up?”
Leo paused. At first, he almost said she was already here, but then realized the staff must be talking about the other sister.
He turned to Elliot. “Elliot, Lucinda’s here. Want me to let her up?”
Elliot’s patience with Lucinda had been wearing thin lately. He barely hesitated. “Tell her I’m rehearsing and really busy. She should just go home.”
Leo nodded. “Okay, will do.”
Normally, when Lucinda visited, security would just call and she’d be escorted right up. This time, though, she waited and waited, but no one came. Eventually, a staff member finally appeared.
Lucinda stepped closer, pulling him aside. She slid a ring off her finger and held it out to him. “I just bought this today, first time wearing it. It’s yours. You can give it to your girlfriend.”
The staff member stared at her. “Miss Lucinda, I can’t take this…”
“I just want to know what Elliot and that girl are doing. That’s all. Don’t worry, I won’t say anything.”
Lucinda tucked the ring into his pocket before he could protest.
The staff member’s heart was racing. The diamond on the ring was huge, probably worth a fortune. Lucinda really lived up to her status as a billionaire’s daughter. And it wasn’t like he was spilling any top-secret information. Nothing illegal about it, right?
“Miss Lucinda, Elliot is just showing the young lady around his studio. He probably just wanted a bit of alone time with her. It’s not that he didn’t want to see you. Please, don’t take it the wrong way.”

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...
