Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 246
Officer Byrne’s heart skipped a beat. “The whole city?”
“Every police department in all eighteen districts is streaming this absurd interrogation as we speak. It’s already causing a huge stir. Get over there now. Detain every single officer on duty in the Fifth Division and find out exactly what’s going on. I want answers.”
Officer Byrne nodded immediately. “Yes, sir. I’m on my way.”
Back at the Fifth Division’s interrogation room, Corbyn kept pushing, trying to break Lydia down with threats and intimidation.
“Listen, kid. I’m warning you for your own good. Think carefully about what you do next. If you don’t, you’re not the only one who’s going to get hurt.”
Lydia looked up, meeting his eyes. “You’re the one making the decisions here?”
Corbyn let out a short laugh. “I’m the one questioning you, so yeah, I decide what happens.”
“But isn’t the chief the one in charge? Are you the chief?” Lydia’s tone was skeptical, almost teasing.
Corbyn bristled, feeling like she was mocking him, and decided to set her straight. “The chief’s at the top. Then there’s the deputy chief, and after that, it’s me. Got it?” He was basically saying he held her fate in his hands, so she’d better not underestimate him.
Lydia looked genuinely surprised. “So you’re third in command?”
Corbyn grunted. “If you know what’s good for you, you’ll just sign the papers. It’s your best option.”
“So you’re forcing me to sign. Did your bosses approve this, or are you just doing it on your own? Aren’t you worried I’ll report you?”
Corbyn had no idea she was leading him right into a trap. He just smiled smugly, thinking he had everything under control. “You’re going to report me? Don’t kid yourself. You only have yourself to blame for crossing the wrong people.”
Lydia fell quiet.
Corbyn watched her lower her head, thinking she’d finally given up. He thought she’d accepted the truth.
“Just sign it, kid. If you apologize to Miss Stein and she’s satisfied, maybe you’ll get a lighter sentence.”
Suddenly, Lydia snapped her head up, her voice cold and fierce. “I need to see your chief. I want him to hear my side and give me justice.”
Corbyn was thrown off. He’d laid everything out for her, but she still wouldn’t back down.
All around the city, people stared at their screens, holding their breath, waiting to see what would happen next. From their point of view, the camera was on Lydia, and it was really Corbyn who was exposed, caught in the spotlight. Lydia had been setting a trap since the start, and he’d walked right into it, dragging his boss along with him.

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...
