Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 1204
Kylie’s eyes shimmered with disappointment. “The truth is right in front of you. Why can’t you just admit it?”
Cameron watched Lucinda, his voice tight with hurt. “Lucinda, you’ve let us down. If you don’t want to stay with the Norwood family, then just leave. No one’s stopping you.”
Lucinda saw this coming. Of course they’d use any excuse to push her out again. All those promises about treating her like their real daughter were just empty words, nothing more.
She wiped her eyes and met their gaze, her expression hard. “If I were really your daughter, would you send me away this easily?”
She was tired of pretending. Tired of chasing after affection that was never truly hers.
Kylie’s lips trembled. “Lucinda, we never wanted you to leave. But you can’t accept Lydia. She’s our biological daughter. We lost her for eighteen years and finally found her. We just want to make up for lost time. Is that so wrong?”
The disappointment in her voice was unmistakable. Didn’t Lucinda realize none of this was supposed to be hers anyway? When Lydia came home, they’d explained everything to Lucinda, told her she could stay, that they’d always care for her. Lydia agreed on the spot.
But Lucinda only got jealous, trying to ruin Lydia’s life. If she couldn’t live with Lydia, then maybe she needed to find her own path. Did she really expect them to kick Lydia out instead?
Tears streamed down Lucinda’s cheeks. “You love her. She hates me, so now you hate me too. She wants me gone, and you’re just going along with it.”
Just then, Mr. Norwood came out of his room, leaning on his cane. He’d been recovering lately and was finally strong enough to walk again.
“What nonsense is this? Who said Lucinda should leave? She’s part of this family. Even if she messes up, it’s not your job to throw her out.”
In the past, whenever Mr. Norwood stepped in to protect Lucinda, Kylie and Cameron could understand it—he was just looking out for her.

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...
