Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 1177

After that... well, everyone knew what happened. She got sick. The mistress brought her daughter right into the house. And Krista was left all alone in that abandoned courtyard, just waiting to die.

Looking back, Krista realized it felt like she’d stumbled into a huge trap the second she met Erik. The chill in her bones was impossible to shake. Her heart had been numb for years now. She’d stopped hoping for anything from Erik a long time ago. All that was left was hate.

But she never expected Erik to be even worse than she thought. He was heartless, cruel in ways she couldn’t have imagined.

“Please, miss, save me. I want revenge. If you help me, I’ll do anything you ask!” Her voice trembled with desperation.

Lydia sat beside her, gentle but firm. “Don’t worry, I can heal you. Once we get the poison out of your body and you start taking care of yourself, you’ll get stronger with time.” She paused. “But for now, you can’t let them find out. We can’t risk alerting them.”

Krista nodded hard. “Okay. I’ll do whatever you say.”

She hesitated, then asked, “Why are you helping me? What do you need from me?” It wasn’t that she doubted Lydia’s kindness. She just worried she wouldn’t be able to help.

Lydia smiled, just a hint. “Don’t worry about it. Only you can help me with this. Once you’re feeling better, I’ll tell you everything.”

Krista nodded again, relief flickering in her eyes. “Alright.”

To keep the housekeeper from getting suspicious, Lydia and Juna just helped toss the wet bedding onto the floor and let Krista sleep on the bare mattress for the night. It was uncomfortable, but better than the freezing floor. Autumn was settling in and the nights were getting colder.
