Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 116
He was just the president’s assistant, with barely any real power, and it wasn’t like the company had ever trusted him with much before Lydia showed up.
“I need the resumes for everyone in design and finance,” Lydia said.
She wanted to start by shaking up those two departments first. Production would have to wait. She already suspected the problems there were even uglier and would take longer to sort out.
“Yes, Ms. Norwood. I’ll get those for you right away.”
“Thanks.”
Josef hesitated. “Do you want to call a meeting today?”
Lydia didn’t even pause. “No. Tell everyone to do their usual.”
“Understood.”
Josef stepped out of her office and was about to head to HR when someone slung an arm over his shoulder.
“Josef…”
He turned to see Henry, looking as lazy and cocky as ever. Josef kept it polite. “Mr. Ragain.”
Henry grinned, eyes narrowing with mischief. “So, that girl in there… she’s our new president?”
He’d only just found out himself. He’d gone to the secretaries to gossip and ask if Lydia was some new intern, only to be told she was actually the new president, Ms. Norwood.
He’d laughed at first. He’d never seen anyone so young be the boss. And Norwood? That had to mean she was close to the Norwood family. If Lydia really was important to them, Henry figured he wouldn’t mind using his charm to get on her good side. Everyone wanted a connection with the Norwoods. If he couldn’t win over the proud Lucinda, maybe he could at least cozy up to a cousin.
Josef nodded. “Yes, Mr. Ragain.”
“Have you been crying?” Lydia’s voice was so clear and gentle, it caught Jenny off guard.
“Ms… Ms. Norwood?”
“What happened?” Lydia asked.
Jenny blurted out, “No, nothing, Ms. Norwood. I’m fine.”
“If it’s something personal, you have the right to keep it to yourself. But if it’s about work, you can talk to me.”
Lydia’s voice was soft and kind. Jenny felt a wave of comfort and safety she’d never known before.
Suddenly, she couldn’t hold it in anymore. Her fear and frustration spilled out. “Ms. Norwood, it’s… it’s Mr. Henry Ragain. He said he’d give me two hundred thousand if I… spent a few days with him. I don’t want to… but I also don’t want to just quit. I don’t know what to do…”

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...
