Ready to Rule The Real Heiress Strikes Back (Lydia and Connor) novel Chapter 1128
Lydia arched an eyebrow. “Oh? And what secret do you have for me?”
Frank let out a cold laugh. “Do you think I’m an idiot? I’m stuck in here, completely powerless. If I tell you and you don’t pay, then what?”
“How much do you want?” Lydia asked, her tone cool and steady.
Frank hesitated, then held up a single finger.
Lydia smirked. “One million?”
He snorted. “One hundred million.”
She didn’t even blink. “Keep dreaming.”
Lydia got up and started toward the door.
Frank was stunned. He’d thought that since Lydia was the founder of LYLX and the real Norwood family heiress, a hundred million was nothing to her. He never imagined she’d be this stingy.
He called after her quickly. “Fine then, fifty million!”
Lydia didn’t even slow down.
Frank’s anxiety spiked. It wasn’t every day you got the chance to trade a little information for that kind of money. Besides, with Lydia’s skills, she’d probably uncover the truth sooner or later anyway.
He tried to bargain. “Alright, then how much will you offer?”
Lydia finally stopped, turned around, and looked him over. “Final price. Twenty million. And only if what you tell me is actually useful.”
Frank’s face twisted with frustration. Twenty million? That was way lower than what he wanted.
She went on, her voice casual. “Lucinda is your biological daughter, right? You’ve bent over backward to protect her, but has she ever handed you twenty million?”
Frank flushed with embarrassment. Lydia had a point. Lucinda had never given him anything close to that.
Now he had twenty million right in front of him. He’d be a fool to say no.
He clenched his teeth and after a long moment, nodded. “Fine. Twenty million.”
His expression turned serious. “There’s more. Grace has a hidden phone. She keeps it locked up in her cabinet and won’t let anyone touch it. We fought about it twice. She said it was for work, but I have no idea what shady stuff she’s mixed up in.”
He remembered what Lydia had said earlier about Grace and her young lovers. The thought bothered him more than he cared to admit. Was that phone for her secret rendezvous?
Lydia’s gaze sharpened. Another phone? That was news she could use.
“Keep going.”
Frank swallowed hard. “Every day, when no one was paying attention, she’d slip away to make calls on that phone. Always so secretive. I’m sure whatever you’re after, it’s on that phone.”
Lydia’s lips curled into a subtle smile. “You’d better not be lying to me.”
Frank gave a nervous laugh. “At this point, do you really think I’d do that?”
Once Lydia left the detention center, she met up with Byron, and together they headed back to Grace’s apartment.
The night Grace was arrested, the police had only done a quick sweep of her place. No one had thought to search deeper. Back then, no one realized how many secrets the apartment might still be hiding.

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...
