Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 24
Was it possible Miss Norwood was even more skilled than Garrett?
Just then, Lucinda rushed over to her grandfather, practically in tears, and threw her arms around him. “Grandpa, I’m so glad you’re okay. I was really scared. Please, don’t ever scare me like that again.”
Mr. Norwood’s face softened. He gently patted Lucinda’s back. “It’s okay, Lucinda. See, I’m right here. I’m fine.”
As he spoke, his gaze landed on Lydia, who was now standing up. The angry, bloody bite mark on the back of her hand stood out starkly.
Even though his memory was fuzzy, he vaguely remembered clamping down on something with his teeth while his body was convulsing. He never thought…it had actually been his own granddaughter’s hand.
Something in his heart shifted.
He was just about to say something when Lydia’s calm voice broke the silence. “Lucinda, isn’t it time for you to keep your promise?”
Everyone turned to look at Lucinda.
That was right. Just a moment ago, Lucinda had said that if Lydia could save Mr. Norwood without a scratch, she would kneel and apologize.
The room went tense again.
The maids held their breath, and Cameron and Kylie didn’t know what to say.
Mr. Norwood looked confused. “Promise? What promise?”
Lucinda’s eyes filled with tears as she tried to find the right words. Before she could speak, Grace chimed in. “Sir, this is what happened. Miss Lucinda said that if Miss Lydia could save you, she would kneel and thank her.”
She turned to her grandfather, her voice trembling, trying to sound as pitiful as possible. “Grandpa, it’s my fault. I came downstairs and saw Lydia holding needles over you. I didn’t know she knew acupuncture, and I panicked. I told her to stop so we could take you to the hospital. Lydia said if she managed to save you, I’d have to kneel and apologize.”
The message was clear. Lucinda was suggesting Lydia had set her up, just to humiliate her.
Mr. Norwood listened, his breath coming faster, disappointment clouding his face as he looked at Lydia.
He’d just started to believe his granddaughter wasn’t as awful as he’d thought. Now, it seemed she really did have a problem with her character.
Lydia just smiled and looked at Lucinda, not buying her act for a second. “Lucinda, is that so? You said yourself you’d kneel and apologize. Everyone here heard you. Are you trying to back out?”
Lucinda lifted her chin, face full of sincerity. “I’m not. For Grandpa, I’d do anything. Not just kneel and apologize, I’d give my life for him if I had to.”

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...
