Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 245
Corbyn was sure Lydia would back down, but out of nowhere, she flipped the script and called him out like he’d lost his mind.
“You—”
“What about me? Just a reminder, we’re on camera. You might want to watch yourself.” Lydia stared him down, totally calm, her eyes so cold they looked like they could freeze you on the spot.
Corbyn gave a low, mocking laugh. There was something about this girl that didn’t add up. She was way too young to be this fearless, but the way she handled herself, she could have been a battle-hardened general. She just had that kind of confidence, like she was always one step ahead.
“Listen, kid, these cameras belong to us. If I want them on, they’re on. If I want them off, they’re off. All I have to do is say the word. Got it?” Corbyn leaned in, glaring, his patience wearing thin. He was done playing nice.
Lydia raised an eyebrow and smirked, her lips curling in amusement. “So you’re saying you’re above the law?”
He scoffed. “In here, you could say that. So let’s cut to the chase. Sign the papers and this will all be over. Everyone wins.” He was itching to be done with this and report back to Mr. Reeves.
But Lydia just looked at him like she was bored. “You shouldn’t be the one interrogating me. Go get your chief.”
That made Corbyn laugh, sharp and mean. “You think you deserve the chief’s attention?”
“Why not? Or is he getting paid for doing nothing?”
He snapped. “You’re not worth the chief’s time. Stop making things harder for yourself and sign!” His hand slammed down on the table, rattling it. He had never dealt with anyone this stubborn.
“Who’s your boss?”
“Get to the Fifth Division right now!” Officer Byrne barked out the order himself.
“Yes, Chief!” Byron answered, already moving.
They’d already been looking into the Fifth Division because of the Greenward Parker case, but nothing had prepared them for just how rotten things were. The Fifth Division was a disgrace, hiding behind their uniforms while hurting the very people they were supposed to protect.
“This is huge. Report it to the higher-ups immediately.”
As soon as Officer Byrne finished, his phone rang. He glanced at the screen, his face turning serious before he even picked up.
Before he could say a word, the voice on the other end exploded with anger. “The whole city just watched the Fifth Division threaten a citizen and abuse their power during an interrogation. I want you to take your team and surround that station, right now!”

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...
