Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 1229
“Lydia…” Nina started to say something, but a woman’s voice called from behind her. “Nina, who is this?” Lydia looked up and saw a lady in a stunning royal blue dress approaching, her features unmistakably similar to Nina’s. This had to be Nina’s mother.
Mrs. Powell glanced at Lydia with clear disapproval. She recognized Juna, but Lydia was a stranger to her, and it showed in her expression.
“Mom,” Nina said, forcing a smile. “This is my friend Lydia. Let me introduce you—”
“Don’t,” Mrs. Powell cut her off, her tone icy. She shot Lydia a look that made her intentions clear, then turned back to Nina. “Don’t just bring anyone home. What does that say about us?”
“Mom!” Nina stomped her foot, frustration written all over her face. “She’s my friend!”
Just then, Mr. Powell walked over, gently taking his wife by the arm. He leaned in close and whispered, “That’s enough. Don’t make a scene here.” Then he offered Lydia a polite smile. “You’re Nina’s friends. Please, make yourselves comfortable. Enjoy the party.”
Lydia just smiled softly and nodded, not saying much.
When the Powells moved away, Nina let out an awkward laugh. “Lydia, I’m sorry. I didn’t tell them who you really are…”
“It’s fine. I don’t care about any of that. Go take care of your guests. Don’t worry about us. We can catch up later.” Lydia’s words had a hidden meaning, and Nina caught it right away. She nodded. “Alright. You two have fun.”
Lydia and Juna found a quiet spot to sit. Juna scooted closer, whispering, “Lydia, Mrs. Powell is seriously on edge tonight.” She’d noticed the woman interrogating every single guest who walked in.
“A guilty conscience makes people jumpy,” Lydia said softly. “Of course she’s on guard.”
Halfway through the party, Nina and Carter came over to find Lydia and Juna. Nina sat across from Lydia and lowered her voice. “My parents want me to leave for abroad tomorrow.”

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...
