Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 232
“I get it,” Lydia said, nodding. “So let’s not stand on ceremony. The milk seemed pretty great. Why don’t you have mine?”
She slid the cup in front of Grace.
Grace’s face went pale. She stared at Lydia, her heart racing. Did Lydia figure it out? No way. That couldn’t be possible.
“N-no, Miss, I couldn’t,” Grace stammered. “You work so hard every day at the company. You should have it while it’s still warm. I... I already had breakfast.”
Lydia’s smile only grew. “It’s just some milk. Sure, it’s not chicken soup or ginseng tea, but it’s supposed to be great for your health.”
“It’s okay, really. I already ate.” Grace was starting to panic. She was sure Lydia was doing this on purpose, but there was no way Lydia could have noticed anything. The powder she used had no color or taste.
Lydia got up from her seat and walked over. “What’s wrong, Grace? Is it because I just moved back home? You don’t even want to take a cup of milk from me now?”
“No, it’s not that. I really did have breakfast.”
“It’s just some milk. It won’t fill you up. Unless... is there something special about my soup?” Lydia said, stirring the milk with her straw as if she was thinking it over.
Grace realized there was no way out. Gritting her teeth, she took the cup from Lydia. “Thank you. I’ll drink it.”
She had a feeling Lydia knew something. If she didn’t drink it and Lydia started digging, things would get much worse than a cup of milk. She couldn’t leave any evidence behind.
Grace gulped down the milk in one go. Lydia’s lips curled into a satisfied smile. “If I ever make something good again, I’ll definitely share it with you.”
Grace’s smile froze on her face. “Th-thanks, Miss. You two enjoy your breakfast. I’ll get back to work.”
She practically bolted from the room.
Lydia’s smile faded into something cold as she sat back down and finished her own breakfast.
Grace had no choice. She opened the door.
“Lucinda?”
Lucinda took one look at Grace and screamed.
Oh my god! Grace’s face was covered in angry, red rashes, blotchy and terrifying.
Grace spun around, apologizing over and over. “I’m sorry, Lucinda. I didn’t mean to scare you.”
Lucinda forced herself into the room and shut the door behind them. “Was it the milk?”
There was no hiding it anymore. Grace nodded. “Yes, Lucinda. Lydia came back with that pretty face and took Connor away from you the moment she set foot in this house. I couldn’t stand seeing you sad all the time. I just... I wanted to ruin her face, to make Connor hate her. I never thought she’d catch on.”

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...
