Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 338
Grace’s heart did a little leap when Lucinda agreed so quickly. Honestly, this was better than she’d hoped. Lucinda could still marry into the Jefferson family and become the second young mistress, just like they’d always planned.
“Lucinda, I’m glad you’re seeing things clearly. Connor just isn’t worth your feelings anymore,” Grace said.
Just hearing Connor’s name made Lucinda’s heart ache. She’d loved him for as long as she could remember. How was she supposed to just let go? Choosing Mikey wasn’t what she’d dreamed of. It was just the only thing left she could do. But if marrying Mikey meant she could live under the same roof as Connor, that was something she could accept.
The more she thought about Grace’s plan, the more perfect it seemed.
“Grace, but… how am I supposed to get Mikey to like me?” Lucinda asked, her uncertainty plain on her face. She barely knew anything about him.
Grace’s smile turned mysterious. “You don’t need to make him like you. Just tell your grandfather how much you admire Mikey. He’ll talk to your parents, and they’ll bring it up with the Jefferson family. As long as Grandpa Samuel agrees, Mikey won’t have any say in it.”
Everyone knew Grandpa Samuel was still the one in charge of the Jefferson family. No matter how successful his three grandsons were, when the old man spoke, they all listened.
Lucinda felt her confusion melt away, replaced by a fresh sense of hope and purpose.
“Grace, you’re so good to me. I really don’t know how to thank you,” Lucinda said, her voice trembling.
Grace reached out, her eyes full of warmth. “Lucinda, I’ve been looking after you since you were born. I held you more than your own parents did. I already love you like you’re my own daughter. Whatever you want, I’ll do everything I can to help you get it.”
Tears welled up in Lucinda’s eyes. She threw herself into Grace’s arms, crying softly. “Grace, you treat me better than my own mom and dad.”
Grace stroked Lucinda’s long, silky hair, speaking gently. “You need to stay calm and get along with Lydia for now. When your grandfather comes home from the hospital, ask him to arrange the engagement with Mikey.”
A small smile finally appeared on Lucinda’s lips. The worry in her heart faded, replaced by quiet determination. “Okay.”
Tina’s face softened. “No need to thank me, Lydia. Taking care of you is part of my job.”
“You should rest soon too,” Lydia replied.
Tina hesitated, twisting her fingers. “I… well…”
Lydia raised an eyebrow, waiting. “What is it? You can tell me anything.”
Tina lowered her voice. “I know we’re not supposed to talk about the family’s business, but Grace came back today and spent a long time upstairs with Lucinda. I was cleaning your room and heard crying from Lucinda’s room. They mentioned Connor’s name. Since your parents are still at the hospital with your grandfather, I thought you should know.”
Tina hadn’t heard much, but she, like everyone else in the house, knew that Lucinda had always loved Connor.

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...
