Lucinda’s face was the picture of outrage, but inside, she was practically bursting with happiness. She could hardly believe it. Watching people online drag Lydia, calling her unworthy of Elliot, felt like a dream come true.
It made so much sense to her. Lydia grew up in the countryside. She was never good enough for Elliot, let alone someone like Connor. If people ever found out Lydia was supposed to marry Connor, the backlash would be brutal.
Elliot shot Lucinda a sharp look, his brows pulled together.
Lucinda jumped in, trying to sound upset. “Elliot, do you think those are just haters? The things they’re saying are so awful. It makes me furious.”
Elliot didn’t respond right away. In truth, it was Lucinda’s fake concern that annoyed him most.
Leo saw right through her too. Everyone knew Elliot’s real fans were nothing but supportive. Sure, there were trolls, but they were in the minority.
“Lucinda, the comments you’re talking about are just from random haters. They’re not Elliot’s real fans. You should see what the actual fans are saying.” Leo scrolled through his phone and started reading out loud.
“Elliot, you’ve finally found your happiness. You spent so many years working hard in the industry on your own. She seems really sweet, and I hope you stay happy together. We’ll always be here for you, wishing you a long and happy relationship.”
Lydia grinned. “I guess we’ve let them down.”
Lucinda felt like she might explode. They were all but saying she wasn’t as good as Lydia. It made her blood boil, but she had to keep up the act and pretend it didn’t bother her. The effort was driving her crazy.
She forced a smile and said, “Exactly. Those haters are just the worst.”
Elliot looked at her, his expression turning serious. “So, do you get it now? This is exactly how Lydia felt when she was the one being attacked online.”

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...
