Lydia gave a cold, mocking smile. "Pretty sure the sharks would go for someone like you."
Falcon eyed Lydia up and down, grinning in a way that made her skin crawl. "Hey, sweetheart. You Connor’s girl, right? Take it from me. He’s not gonna last much longer. But if you ditch him for me, maybe I’ll be nice and let you stay out of the shark tank. What do you say?" He let out a laugh that echoed around them.
Bang!
Connor didn’t hesitate. He fired a shot right at Falcon. If Falcon hadn’t jumped back in time, he’d be lying on the ground with a bullet through his skull.
"Connor! Are you for real? You want to play hardball with me? Don’t you care about saving your friend?" Falcon was pale now, jaw clenched tight. His glare shot daggers at Connor.
If he could, he’d make Connor get on his knees and beg right now.
Connor’s voice was ice. "If you can’t keep that mouth shut, you’ll never speak again."
If Luke was already safe, Falcon wouldn’t still be standing.
Falcon was shaken. Connor’s aim was unreal. Three years ago, everyone said Connor was done for, barely clinging to life. Guess the rumors were way off. He was just as dangerous as ever.
Lydia stepped forward. "Where is he? Where’s the person we came for?"
Falcon just smirked, backing away as he waved his hands.
In seconds, dozens of guys in black suits closed in, guns raised, blocking Lydia and Connor.
"Going to hide behind your men now?" Lydia raised a brow, unimpressed.
Bill barked, "Drop your weapons if you want that boy to live!"
None of Lydia’s team moved.
Bill clapped, and two men dragged out a bloodied, unconscious boy.
That face was unmistakable. It was Luke!

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...
