Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 1141

Rosie’s face went cold the second she heard those words. She didn’t even look at Marilyn, just grabbed her cup and took a furious sip.

Marilyn’s heart skipped. She had no idea what she’d said wrong.

Maisie noticed and quickly tried to smooth things over. “Rosie, Jackson’s just under a routine investigation. He’ll be fine. Really, relax.”

That’s when Marilyn finally realized she’d messed up. Wait, Jackson was being investigated? She’d brought him up without even thinking. Now she just wanted to slap herself.

Rosie was just as confused. Her uncle had always been fine, so why was he suddenly being questioned? It had been ages already, and there was still no news. Not a word from anyone. Her parents were worried sick, not to mention the Hydes family. If something really happened to her uncle, she didn’t even want to imagine the fallout. The Hydes family would be done for, and her own family would go down with them. So would all the other families who had sided with Jackson.

So Marilyn mentioning Jackson right now was basically pouring salt on the wound.

Trying to change the subject, Maisie jumped in. “Rosie, you already broke things off with Alfie. Maybe you should find a chance to tell Carter how you really feel. Otherwise, he’ll have no idea why you’re so upset.”

Rosie hesitated, thinking it over. She’d almost telling Carter about her feelings earlier when she saw him with Lydia. Maisie’s advice was exactly what she wanted to hear. She knew she had to tell Carter soon. What if Lydia got to him first?

Luckily, dinner between Lydia and Carter hadn’t looked intimate at all.

Lydia finished eating, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and said, “That was dinner with an audience.”
