Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 25
Lucinda’s words hit the old man right in the heart. All the gratitude he’d felt for Lydia, for saving his life and hurting her hand in the process, seemed to vanish as he turned on her with a stern look.
“I know you saved me, but Lucinda was only worried about my safety. Stop giving her such a hard time.”
Lydia’s expression didn’t change. “She said it herself. How am I making things hard?”
Mr. Norwood’s jaw set. His eyes flashed with anger. “If you really want her to kneel and apologize, then I’ll do it for her. Take it as my thanks for saving my life.”
He actually started to kneel in front of Lydia, struggling to get down.
Lucinda burst into tears. “Grandpa, please don’t!”
Cameron rushed over and grabbed his father’s arm. “Dad, what are you doing?”
Nobody else in the room dared to make a sound. The staff knew to keep their heads down and stay out of it.
Still, everyone could see who was in the wrong. Lucinda had made the promise herself. She didn’t want to keep it, and now she was twisting the story to make Lydia look bad. With all these people watching, Lucinda really didn’t care what anyone thought. She was just as spoiled and unreasonable as ever.
Mr. Norwood didn’t even notice Lydia’s hand was still bleeding from saving him. That delicate hand was smeared with blood.
“She wants Lucinda to kneel, right? Fine. I’ll do it and thank her for saving me!” Mr. Norwood’s eyes were red, his voice shaking.
Cameron let out a long sigh and looked at Lydia, guilt all over his face. “Lydia, can’t we just…”
Kylie gently squeezed Lydia’s shoulder. “Lydia, Lucinda messed up. Let her apologize to you, okay?”
Lucinda stayed behind, hands clenched into fists. It was obvious she couldn’t count on her parents anymore. If she wanted to win, she’d have to use her grandfather’s affection to marry Connor. That was the only way she’d ever put Lydia in her place.
Upstairs, Lydia found the first-aid kit and started cleaning her wound herself.
“My sweet girl?”
There was a gentle knock at the door. Cameron’s voice came through, careful and soft.
“Sweetheart, can we come in?” Kylie’s voice was just as gentle.
They were both afraid their daughter was too upset to even talk to them.

done reading lydia's story. thank you for sharing it....
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...
