The second Frank got hooked on gambling, he became a different person. There was no way Lucinda could let him and her mom cross paths again.
“What do you even know? Greg’s loaded and powerful. For her to catch his eye—that’s the best thing that could happen to her! I’m Greg’s father-in-law now. At the casino, all those punks who used to talk down to me have to show me some respect!”
“You really believe that? You’re not even Sandy’s real father. If you don’t learn to keep your mouth shut, you might not live to regret it.” Grace knew exactly what kind of man Frank was.
Frank’s face turned red with anger. “You nasty bitch. I’m going to teach you a lesson today.”
He spat out the words, already reaching for his belt.
Grace’s eyes flashed with fury. “Frank, you disgusting old cock. Get lost!”
“Please, like you haven’t begged for it before. Don’t act all innocent now.”
...
Elliot’s concert was an absolute hit. With Lorelei joining him on stage, it blew up all around the world.
The media jumped on it right away, making them the hottest ship of the moment.
Everywhere you looked, there were screenshots of them singing with those intense looks at each other, holding hands, all kinds of sweet moments. The internet couldn’t get enough.
Most fans were loving it, but one person was so jealous it hurt.
That person was Leila.
During the concert, she’d been too shocked to notice anything, so she completely missed that Lorelei was actually Lydia. It wasn’t until she saw the rumors online and went to Lucinda for answers that Lucinda turned it back on her. “Leila, you really didn’t realize Lorelei is Lydia?”
“Relax, Lucinda. I know how to handle myself.”
After the call ended, Lucinda’s lips curled into a cold smile. That little push should give Leila all the motivation she needed.
Sunday afternoon, Garrett insisted on driving Lydia back to school himself. He explained that the president of Capital Med School wanted to meet with him.
Lydia figured it must be about the research on the virus antidote.
She’d told Connor not to bother driving her, and he’d grumbled about it for ages.
When Lucinda heard Garrett was taking Lydia to school, she immediately started to whine. “Garrett, you’re driving my sister to school? Why can’t you drop me off too? Capital College is basically next door.”
Garrett checked his watch. “Lucinda, I’m meeting with Mr. Moore at the med school. We have to leave now. You haven’t even packed yet. Why don’t you ask the driver to take you?”

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...
