Dr. Donley shook his head. “Not yet, but I think…”
Stellan cut him off, his face clearly annoyed. “You’re voting for Lydia without even looking at Daisy’s answer? What’s your deal?”
Desmond jumped in. “And you guys didn’t bother with Lydia’s answer before voting for Daisy. So what does that say about you?”
In that moment, Angelo and Stellan both looked like they’d swallowed something sour. Their faces went from pale to red in seconds.
Angelo cleared his throat and tried to recover. “Desmond, we voted for Daisy because everyone knows she’s talented. Plus, her family is working on ways to lower the cancer mortality rate. If they succeed, it could change lives for so many people.”
Desmond barely reacted. He looked right at them, his face unreadable. “I’m voting for Lydia.”
Angelo and Stellan looked even more uncomfortable. Inside, they couldn’t help but wonder if Lydia had bribed Desmond or if there was something going on between them. He’d been on her side from the start. But Desmond was a senior figure at the medical institute. He wasn’t someone they could mess with.
So they turned to Dominick instead. “Dominick, you’ve already seen Daisy’s answer. You know she deserves first place. You’ll vote for her, right? Fair and square?” Angelo’s voice was loaded with meaning, as if he was trying to say Dr. Donley and Desmond weren’t being fair by supporting Lydia.
Dominick hesitated, clearly unsure.
Dr. Donley gave him a gentle reminder. “Dominick, you should look at Lydia’s answer first. Seeing is believing.”
Desmond couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed in Dominick. The two from Capital College stood up for their own student, but Dominick seemed ready to side with an outsider. It didn’t make any sense.
Desmond spoke up, his tone firm. “The rules say we have to review all the students’ answers before voting. Let’s read through the rest. You should take a look, too.”

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...
