Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 1320
Grace’s face went pale and without even thinking, she grabbed Lucinda’s hand and tried to bolt. But Lucinda was wobbling on sky-high heels and the old, half-finished building was a mess. She barely made it a few steps before she tripped, stumbling dangerously toward the edge.
A shriek tore from Lucinda’s throat as she flailed for anything to hold on to. Grace didn’t hesitate for a second. She spun around and lunged, grabbing Lucinda’s hand just in time.
Now Lucinda was dangling over empty air, her whole body shaking. Grace clung to her, muscles straining, veins standing out on her arms.
“Mom…” Lucinda’s voice was small, but that word made Grace’s heart ache. She had waited so many years to hear her daughter call her that.
“Hold on, Lucinda!” Grace’s voice was tight, teeth clenched as she tried to pull her back up. But her strength was fading and the crumbling wall beneath them started to shift, bricks loosening under their combined weight.
Suddenly, with a deafening crash, the wall gave out. Both of them fell.
In that split second, Grace used every last bit of energy she had to push Lucinda upward. Lucinda landed on the edge, barely safe, but Grace kept falling. She hit the concrete below with a sickening thud. Blood spread quickly beneath her, stark against the cold gray floor.
Lucinda just stared down, frozen. Her mind felt empty, everything distant and muffled. She couldn’t see Grace’s face clearly, just a dark shape and the blood that kept growing. Her legs felt like jelly. She collapsed, eyes blank, unable to move.
She never imagined Grace—her mother, her protector—could be gone in an instant. All for her sake.
Her lips parted as if to speak, but nothing came out. Tears spilled down her cheeks, soaking through her clothes. She couldn’t stop them.
Arthur watched from nearby, his frown deepening. They had meant to take Grace alive. No one expected it to end like this. At least Lydia had just found out where Night Eagle was hiding.
Country T.
Lydia knew that place well. There were only a few possible hideouts.

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...
