Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 1216
Malcolm didn’t say much. He just looked at Lydia, nodded, and said, “Let’s go.”
Half an hour later, outside the city hall, Reed came down the steps himself, smiling as he stretched out his hand to Malcolm. “Secretary Malcolm, you’ve come a long way. Thank you for making the trip.”
“You’re too polite, Mayor Brown,” Malcolm said, shaking his hand.
After their handshake, Malcolm quietly shifted to the side, and that was when Reed noticed Lydia standing behind him. The respect in Malcolm’s demeanor made it clear she was someone important. Reed felt a bit lost. He couldn’t recall anyone from the Supervisory Department who matched her description. Honestly, he just assumed Lydia was Malcolm’s young assistant.
“And this is…” Reed started, but before he could finish, his secretary Collin stepped up, his tone a little dismissive. “Mayor, why don’t we take Secretary Malcolm inside? You’ve got a busy schedule today.”
The message was obvious. Collin thought anyone else wasn’t worth their time.
“Collin.” Malcolm’s voice cut through the air, suddenly cold. “This is Ms. Norwood, our department’s Special Director.”
Everything seemed to freeze for a moment. Collin’s smile turned stiff as he stared at Lydia, who still wore her sunglasses. Reed’s eyes narrowed. Everyone had heard of the Special Director in the Supervisory Department. She was a mystery. People rarely saw her, and no one ever knew where she might turn up. She was famous for showing up without warning, catching corrupt officials off guard. Rumor had it that Jackson, who’d only recently started his job, had already run into trouble because of her and was still under review.
But now, seeing her in person… Reed was shocked to realize that the legendary Special Director was such a young lady. He could hardly believe it. Still, with Malcolm introducing her, there was no room for doubt.
Lydia didn’t act like she noticed the sudden tension in the air. She simply walked past Collin and stopped in front of Reed. “Mayor Brown, I’d like to talk to you alone.”

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...
