Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 1217

Reed’s brow was pulled tight, and the more he thought about it, the colder he felt inside. Lydia noticed his expression and spoke gently. “From everything I know, your daughter is well-mannered, gentle, and smart. She’s always been your pride, and Mrs. Brown’s too. Everyone in Maple Town has nothing but good things to say about her.”

Reed’s mind flashed to how his daughter had changed lately. He’d chalked it up to her just hitting that rebellious age. Maybe they’d spoiled her a little too much, he thought, but he never imagined there could be something else going on.

“And your wife,” Lydia continued, her voice steady, “your marriage is good, isn’t it?”

Reed hesitated, unsure how to respond. Things were good, mostly. But there was one thing he hadn’t told anyone. For the past couple of months, his wife always seemed tired, always had some excuse to avoid being close with him. He’d been busy with work, not home all that much, so he didn’t think much of it. But now, after hearing Lydia, he was starting to doubt himself.

Before he could gather his thoughts, Lydia unlocked her phone and set it on the table in front of him. “Take a look at these.”

One glance at the photos and Reed felt the world tilt. There were dozens of pictures of his wife, Deanna, wrapped up with some young guy. There were hotel records too, dates and times. All within the last two months, always when he was away for work.

“This can’t be real,” he muttered, barely able to breathe. His mind was spinning, heart sinking fast.

Lydia studied his face and said quietly, “You don’t need to worry. That’s not your wife. She’s a clone.”

It took a second for Reed to process what she’d said. He stared at her, suddenly serious. “Where are my real wife and daughter? Do you know where they are?”
