Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 1056

Frank’s fingers twisted nervously in the fabric of his shirt. He looked up, trying to pull off a sheepish, harmless smile. “Maybe you saw me last week when you got back home, Miss.”

He was worried Lydia might recognize him, but in his heart, he’d already made up his mind. If he was bold enough to show up at the Norwood house, he couldn’t be afraid of them figuring out he was Lucinda’s real father. The Norwoods always said they treated his daughter like family. So why shouldn’t they treat him like family, too?

Lydia caught on to what Frank was up to right away. Her lips curled into a small, mysterious smile.

“Really? Because I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before, even earlier than that.”

Frank kept his head down, refusing to meet her eyes.

Kylie and Cameron glanced between Lydia and Frank, looking a little confused.

“Lydia, he only started working here last week. Maybe you’re mixing him up with someone else?”

Lydia let out a thoughtful “Oh,” like she’d just remembered something. “I seem to recall someone making a huge scene outside the LYLX company building a while back, yelling about…”

Frank could feel her stare burning into him, making him squirm. Did she have to bring that up now? Why not just say straight out that he was Lucinda’s father? What was the point of dragging up the past? He’d caused a fuss outside her office for ages and still hadn’t gotten a single cent out of her. So stingy.

“Wait, Lydia, do you mean him?” Kylie asked, picking up on what Lydia was hinting at.

Lydia looked Frank up and down again, then nodded. “That’s him, no question. He kept saying he was Lucinda’s biological father, asked me for money, and said we were family. So why is he here now, working as a gardener?”
