Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 336
Grace stared in disbelief, certain she must have heard wrong.
“Lucinda, what did you just say? He…?”
Lucinda’s shoulders slumped as fresh tears slid down her cheeks.
“You heard me. Grandpa made up with Lydia. He’s accepted her now, just like Mom, Dad, and Chris. They all think Lydia’s amazing.”
As soon as she got the words out, Lucinda sank into the small couch, looking completely defeated. Tears kept falling, one after another, like a necklace that had broken.
“I knew it. I knew Lydia came back just to take everything that should have been mine. And she did it so fast. She already has everyone’s love. What am I supposed to be in this family now?”
Right then, Lucinda felt totally lost and alone. She had so much bottled up inside, but no way to say any of it.
Grace couldn’t wrap her head around it. How could Mr. Norwood turn his back on them so quickly?
That girl Lydia… she clearly wasn’t as simple as she looked. Grace realized she’d underestimated her from the start.
“Lucinda, listen to me. You are the best. Lydia’s just a wild kid from the countryside. So what if she’s the real daughter? You grew up in this family, you’re the one everyone cared for. Mr. Norwood only accepted her because she knows a little medicine and saved his life. You have to believe it, you’re still his favorite.” Grace comforted her, gently rubbing her back and speaking with warmth and certainty.
Lucinda hesitated. Was that really true? Did Grandpa only accept Lydia out of gratitude, not love?
Grace kept coaxing her. “Think about it, after Lydia came back, what did Mr. Norwood say to you?”
If Lydia had never shown up, Lucinda could have waited. She was Connor’s fiancée. Even if she waited until after college, Connor would still be hers. No one would dare to take him away.
But now it was different. Connor only had eyes for Lydia, and Cameron, Kylie, Grandpa Samuel… everyone was on their side. If Lucinda kept chasing after Connor and anyone found out, even her spot in the Norwood family would be at risk.
The truth was, Lucinda knew she had lost the moment she saw how gentle Connor was with Lydia. She just couldn’t bring herself to admit it before.
“Grace, but I don’t want anyone but him. No one else could ever compare.”
“With the way things are, Lucinda, you don’t have a chance to marry Connor anymore.”

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...
