Lucinda’s annoyance was obvious. She felt Lydia only thought about herself, not bothering to invite the rest of them. Blake glanced at her. “Lydia was the main guest at Elliot’s concert. He probably just invited her, her manager, and their team. It wouldn’t really make sense for us to go.”
Garrett nodded. “Exactly, Lucinda. If you want Elliot to treat us to dinner, we can just ask him tomorrow. There’s always next time.”
But it wasn’t really about the dinner. Lucinda was actually furious about Elliot’s attitude. He was playing favorites, plain and simple. She could barely force herself to eat anything and soon went upstairs alone.
Blake watched her walk away, frowning. “Lucinda’s got a lot weighing on her.”
Garrett agreed. “She probably hasn’t gotten over everything that happened before. It still gets to her.”
Cameron looked frustrated. “It’s all because of Grace’s influence. Lucinda’s not a bad person, really. Now that Grace isn’t here, she’s just having trouble adjusting.”
That got Garrett thinking. “By the way, when did things start up between Lucinda and Caspian? I only heard about it yesterday. It seemed to come out of nowhere.”
Kylie thought for a moment. “Caspian’s always been good to Lucinda. He’s had a crush on her for years. Now that Lydia’s back and Lucinda’s engagement with Connor is off, Caspian finally got the courage to go after her. Lucinda says he treats her well, so she wants to give it a shot.”
Blake looked thoughtful. “I just hope she really wants to be with Caspian.”
Cameron turned to him. “What are you getting at, Blake?”
“Lucinda, what happened? Are those people at the Norwoods giving you a hard time again?”
As soon as Grace said that, Lucinda’s frustration spilled over. “Grace, it’s so unfair. Everyone always takes Lydia’s side. She gets away with things I never could. Why is it always like this?”
Grace was fuming. It’s always Lydia. Their plan had been changed again and again because of her.
“Lucinda, it’s okay. Trust me. I’ll teach her some lesson. I’m gonna make her give everything back to you. You grew up in the Norwood family. So what if she’s their real daughter?”

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...
