Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 1221

“Seriously, Dad, you’re finally home? If you’d taken any longer, I would’ve started getting mad.” Mona grinned, her voice light but teasing.

Seeing Mrs. Brown and Mona again stirred up a mess of emotions in Reed. He kept his face neutral though, not letting any of it slip.

He gave Mikey a friendly pat on the shoulder and smiled. “Sorry for being late, Mikey. Dinner’s not quite done yet. Want to come talk with me in the study for a bit?”

Mikey nodded right away. “Sure thing, Mr. Brown.”

Mrs. Brown beamed. “Go ahead, you two. I’ll let you know when dinner’s ready.”

Reed nodded and headed upstairs with Mikey trailing behind. As soon as the study door closed, the atmosphere changed. The air felt tense, loaded with things unsaid.

In a hushed voice, Reed pulled out two tiny vials from his briefcase. “Miss Norwood gave me a sedative.” He handed one to Mikey. “I’ll try to slip this into Mrs. Brown’s tea tonight. You do the same with Mona, okay?”

Mikey hesitated, frowning, then decided to share what he knew. “Miss Brown warned me earlier. She said Mrs. Brown’s planning to drug me.”

Reed looked shocked. “Mona told you that?”

Mikey nodded. “She did. She also said Mrs. Brown is actually a clone and that she’s being forced to do all of this. I already told Lydia about it. She said every clone has a chip and a barcode. We should wait until tonight to see if it’s true.”

Reed paused, thinking it over. “Even if Mona warned you, how do we know it isn’t just another trap?”
