Ready to Rule The Real Heiress Strikes Back (Lydia and Connor) novel Chapter 162
He had definitely underestimated her.
When Parker spoke, Lydia couldn’t help lifting an eyebrow. “Me? Their goddaughter?”
Parker frowned. “Isn’t that what happened? You rescued Mr. Norwood by chance, and Cameron and Kylie were so grateful they made you their goddaughter?”
“Who told you that?” Lydia looked at him like he was making it up.
She’d asked her parents to keep her real identity on the down low, but this goddaughter rumor was news to her.
“It was Lucinda. Wait… did she lie to me?” Parker wasn’t an idiot. Lydia’s reaction told him everything he needed to know.
Lydia put it all together.
Lucinda? Really?
“So Lucinda told you I was just the Norwoods’ goddaughter, and that made you think I was nothing to worry about? That you could just get rid of me?”
Parker felt a cold sweat break out along his back. Wasn’t that the truth? Had Lucinda actually played them all?
If she hadn’t said Lydia was just some nobody from nowhere, with no real connection to the Norwoods, Parker never would’ve dared to cross her.
“So ignorant,” Lydia said, not bothering to waste another word on him. She turned and left the interrogation room without looking back.
Byron was dying to know what Lydia’s real relationship with the Norwood family was, but right now, something else was more important.
“Miss Norwood, wait a sec!”
He rushed after her.
Lydia stopped and looked over her shoulder. “Yes?”
Byron jogged up, feeling weirdly nervous. “You… you don’t remember me? You helped us with a case before. I’m Byron.”
God, this was his first time talking face to face with the legendary hacker L. His heart was pounding.
Their only daughter was out alone at night, and Kylie and Cameron had been anxious all evening. When their calls went unanswered earlier, Cameron nearly sent the whole security team out to look for her.
“Mom, I’m going to be a bit late. You and Dad should get some sleep. Don’t wait up.”
She still had to stop by Greenward Power to handle a few things. Tonight was going to be a long one.
“Oh, that’s all right, Lydia. We’ll wait up for you. Your dad and I won’t be able to sleep until we know you’re home safe.”
Lydia felt a soft warmth in her chest. It was a good feeling, knowing her parents cared so much.
“Captain, Rose keeps asking to call Mrs. Norwood. What should we do?”
Suddenly, the door to the other interrogation room swung open, and one of the officers called out to Byron in the hallway.
Byron automatically glanced at Lydia, who was still on the phone.
On the other end, Kylie had heard the officer’s voice and tensed up. “Lydia? Where are you right now? Why does Rose want to see me?”

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...
