Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 15
Her grandfather followed her gaze and let out a tired sigh. “Lucinda, sweetheart, listen to me. Actually…”
“Darling girl!”
Kylie’s voice floated through the air. Suddenly, the garden burst into color as a cascade of balloons soared into the sky, bright as a rainbow stretched over the whole backyard.
Lucinda’s heart leapt. She glanced at her grandfather, who looked like he wanted to say more, but she couldn’t wait. “Grandpa, Mom and Dad are letting the balloons go. They’re calling me over. Let’s go see what’s happening!”
She could barely contain her excitement. Every year, her parents’ surprises were amazing. What had they planned for her this time?
Before her grandfather could say another word, Lucinda was already spinning around, ready to dash outside.
But Mr. Norwood reached out, stopping her with a gentle firmness. “Lucinda, wait. That isn’t for you.”
Lucinda froze on the spot. For a second, she thought he must be teasing her. She smiled, a little uncertain. “Grandpa, are you joking with me?”
He shook his head, his expression serious. “I’m not. If you don’t believe me, just watch from the window for a moment.”
Lucinda hesitated. It would be so embarrassing to run outside if something was wrong. Maybe it was better to stay and see for herself.
Grace looked confused. “Sir, if those aren’t for Miss Lucinda, then who are they for?” In this house, who else could deserve something so extravagant?
And now, her mother was placing it on another girl’s head.
Why?
She turned to her grandfather, her voice shaking, caught somewhere between fear and anger. “Grandpa, who is that girl? Why is Mom putting Eternal Stars on her? And those gifts, those cars… are they all for her?”
Lucinda had always believed she was the Norwood family’s favorite, even more adored than her brothers. So why were her parents giving everything that belonged to her to a stranger? And why wasn’t her grandfather stopping them? He was supposed to love her most of all.
Mr. Norwood reached out and gently patted her shoulder, trying to comfort her. “Lucinda, didn’t I tell you? No matter what happens, you’ll always be Grandpa’s favorite girl.”

thank u!...
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...
