Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 228
“We really need this job,” one of them cried softly, her voice trembling.
They didn’t come from fancy families, didn’t have connections or impressive degrees. What they did have was grit. They worked hard, didn’t complain, always finished their tasks on time. Life at the Norwood estate was as good as it got. The food was amazing, the rooms were comfortable, the pay was fair, and the family treated them well. Except for Lucinda, who was a handful sometimes, there was nothing to complain about. None of them wanted to leave.
Grace, though, didn’t even blink at their tears. She just stood there, chin lifted, acting like she was above it all.
“You should blame Tina. She stole the food, and now she’s dragging you both down with her. Idiots!”
“Grace, what are you talking about?” Tina shot back, her voice tight with anger. “Judy and Alexis have been working under me since they started. I treat them like family. Why would I ever hurt them?”
Tina knew Grace had been out to get her ever since Mrs. Norwood put her in charge of Lydia’s care. She’d tried to ignore the pettiness, to keep her head down and not make waves. But this? This was too much. This morning, Grace had seen the ginseng tea and chicken soup that Lydia gave her last night, and immediately accused her of stealing. In the service world, stealing food or jewelry was the biggest taboo. If word got out, they’d never work in a household again.
Grace really was ruthless.
“Oh please, Tina. The evidence is right here and you still want to argue? Should I call Lucinda down to throw you all out herself? Maybe then you’d finally leave.”
Tina was shaking, her fists clenched. Judy and Alexis huddled close, pale and terrified. All this, over a simple bowl of soup? They couldn’t bear the thought of leaving. What could they do?
Suddenly, a clear voice floated down from upstairs, cool and calm.
Lydia let out a soft, cold laugh. “So what? You think that means you’re better than everyone else? Tina was handpicked by my mother to take care of me. Why do you call her a cheap servant and not yourself?”
Lydia’s eyes were sharp, and the way she carried herself made it impossible to look away. Grace suddenly seemed smaller.
“No, that’s not what I meant. I just meant… she stole—”
“I told her to have the soup and the ginseng tea. Do you have a problem with that?”

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...
