Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 1207
He looked over at Nina. “Miss Powell, I really am sorry about today.”
Nina offered a few polite words in return, then stepped out the door with Lydia by her side.
Lucinda watched them leave, her face twisted in frustration. She could practically feel herself boiling over. She had been right all along. Lydia and Nina definitely knew each other from before. How else could they be so close, so at ease together? And, of course, Lydia even had Nina’s number. Lucinda could only regret her choices now. If she had realized they were already friends, she never would have gone to Nina last night and tried to drag Lydia’s name through the mud. Talk about shooting herself in the foot. But there was no turning back. The damage was done. All she could do was force herself to stick around the Norwood house, hoping things didn’t get worse.
The whole mess made her think of Grace. When Grace still lived at home, she always looked out for Lucinda. Now that Grace was gone, the only person left was Mr. Norwood, and everyone else had sided with Lydia. Nothing was easy anymore. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Maybe she should find a chance to visit Grace. For old times’ sake. If Grace came back and helped her deal with Lydia, that would be perfect. Being on her own was miserable.
Outside, Nina looked at Lydia, guilt written all over her face. “I’m really sorry. I acted out of turn today. If it weren’t for me, your grandfather wouldn’t have gotten sick. I’m just glad it wasn’t serious. If something had happened, I honestly wouldn’t know what to do.”
Lydia smiled. “There’s nothing to apologize for. I should be thanking you. You really helped me put Lucinda in her place today.”
Nina burst out laughing. She liked Lydia more and more. Lydia was nothing like those delicate, fake girls. She was straightforward and sharp, and Nina respected that.
“So, what do you want to eat? My treat,” Lydia offered.
Nina grinned. “You’re actually going to treat me?”
Lydia nodded. “Of course.”
She paused, then asked, “Should we ask Carter to join us? Let’s all have dinner together.”

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...
