Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 329
Garrett watched Lucinda carefully. Something was definitely off. “Lucinda, what’s going on? Why did the news about the mastermind’s death get such a big reaction out of you?”
He couldn’t believe things had gotten so out of hand. Now someone was dead. This was way more complicated than any of them had expected.
Lucinda tried to pull herself together, glancing nervously at Cameron and Garrett. “I just… I got scared when Dad said the person behind everything jumped. I didn’t expect things to go that far.”
“They got caught and realized there was no way out, so they jumped,” Cameron said quietly.
Lucinda’s face went pale. “That’s… that’s horrifying.”
Cameron took a deep breath. “It was a man, probably in his forties or fifties. The police think he was homeless, no family. Someone must’ve put him up to it.”
Lucinda just stared, stunned.
A man? In his forties or fifties?
So it wasn’t Grace.
Grace was still alive.
No one else noticed, but in those two minutes Lucinda’s world had flipped upside down.
“Then… who’s behind this? Who’d want to hurt Lydia?” She finally managed to ask, her voice steadier, color slowly returning to her cheeks.
Cameron shook his head. “The police are still working on it.”
Lucinda’s anxiety spiked again. She had no idea if Grace had made it back to the Capital. She just knew she couldn’t let anyone find out. If her parents discovered she was involved, they’d kick her out of the Norwood family for sure.
A clear, cheerful voice broke through her panic. “Even if he’s dead, there’ll be some clue left behind. It’s just a matter of time.”
Everyone looked over, relief on their faces.
Lucinda’s stomach twisted, but she managed a weak smile. “I just dropped it. Clumsy me.”
Kylie jumped in. “Watch your step, Lydia. I’ll get someone to clean it up.”
Lydia nodded, then turned to Garrett. “Garrett, let’s head out. The airport’s not going to wait.”
Garrett nodded. “Yeah, let’s go.”
Before he left, Garrett took a second to remind Mr. Norwood to stay calm, eat well, and get some rest.
He gave Lucinda’s shoulder a gentle squeeze. “Lucinda, behave while I’m gone. I’ll bring you back something nice.”
Lucinda understood exactly what he meant. He was really telling her not to give Lydia any trouble.
She managed a half-hearted smile. “I know, Garrett.”

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...
