Chester’s hand trembled as he pointed at the guy with the fiery red mohawk across the room. The man looked like he was in his thirties, his hair styled into a wild rooster crest, but right now he just wanted to disappear. He had his face pressed to the ground, doing his best impression of a corpse.
Lydia raised an eyebrow, then walked right over to him. The guy stayed glued to the floor, pretending not to exist. Lydia didn’t have time for that. She gave him a swift kick, right where it would hurt his pride, and said, “Keep playing dead and I’ll flip you over and kick you again.”
The guy’s head snapped up. His face was streaked with dirt, and he gave Lydia a crooked, gap-toothed grin. “Please, lady, have mercy.”
Lydia wasn’t impressed. “Who sent you?”
Seriously, this crew? Did whoever hired them think she was that easy?
The mohawk guy nearly burst into tears. “We’re just following orders. I swear, we don’t even know who wanted us to grab you. Please, let us go. We’re just trying to get by.”
Lydia narrowed her eyes. “Roll over.”
He tensed up, shaking his head frantically. “Please, I’ve got a family…”
She wasn’t having it. Lydia lifted her leg like she was about to kick him again, and suddenly he let out a high-pitched wail. “I really don’t know who it is, but I’ve got her number! It’s a woman!”
Lydia gave a cold snort. “Call her. Tell her to come here.”
He took one look at Lydia’s eyes and didn’t dare argue. He pulled out his phone, scrolled through his contacts, and showed her the number. “This one.”
Lydia nodded. “Call her.”
He dialed, and after just two rings, someone picked up. Before he could say anything, a woman’s voice came through, impatient and excited. “Well? Did you get her?”
Lydia’s eyes narrowed. Of course. Leila.

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...
