Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 1089

Were they in the wrong room? If they weren’t, then they were really in trouble.

Seeing William didn’t exactly shock Jackson. After all, William was Lydia’s uncle. But when he spotted Easton, Jackson felt a wave of dread. He thought about leaving, but by then it was way too late.

Lydia hadn’t bothered asking for details before she came. Malcolm had only told her they needed to check out an official tonight, so she’d just agreed. She never imagined the official in question would turn out to be her own uncle.

She couldn’t help but laugh to herself. Well, this just got a lot more interesting.

Malcolm looked like he might actually drop to his knees and beg Lydia for mercy. This girl, honestly, never stopped surprising him.

William, as Lydia’s uncle, couldn’t hold it in any longer. He got up from his seat, breaking the awkward silence. “Lydia, what are you doing here? And why are you with him?” He didn’t mention Jackson’s name, careful not to say too much. Tonight’s meeting with Easton was for business, and you never knew who might be listening.

Easton stood up too, clearly on edge. “Lydia, you need to explain yourself. What’s your relationship with these two?” He obviously meant William and Jackson.

Jackson narrowed his eyes, focusing on Lydia. “So, Miss Norwood, was this dinner your idea of a setup?”

Lydia shut the door behind her, gave a short laugh, and looked around at everyone. “Let me introduce myself properly. I’m Lydia, currently a special minister with the Inspectorate.”

The whole room seemed to freeze.

William almost lost his balance. Jackson’s eyes went wide with surprise.

Easton, though, was all business. “That’s not what I’m asking. I want to know what you have to do with these two men.”

The Inspectorate had strict rules against close ties with other departments. If you had any, you had to report them right away or risk a full-blown investigation.
