Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 380
Lucinda’s smile was tight, almost forced, but the more she thought about it, the more she liked the idea. Just give Lydia a chance to see how the world really works. Let her watch as Lucinda stole the show at the International Piano Competition. She wanted Lydia to feel like she would never measure up.
Lydia headed upstairs and packed her suitcase in record time. She was just about to go back down when her phone buzzed. Connor’s name flashed on the screen.
“All set? I can drive you to the airport.”
Lydia shook her head, even though he couldn’t see her. “I’m good. Mom and Dad are taking me. We’re leaving in a minute.”
Connor let out a small sigh that said he wished it was different. “By the way, Aiden found something over in Lakeview Town.”
Lydia’s eyebrows went up. “What did he find?”
“The guy who died was named Edward. He definitely had connections to Black Eagle. And if we follow that lead, it looks like the Norwood family’s nanny and Lucinda are exactly who you think they are.”
Connor’s tone turned icy. No one got away with hurting someone he cared about.
“I tried to get a read on Grace tonight, too. Everything lines up so far. It’s just a theory for now, but after you get back from France, I’ll figure out the link between Grace and Lucinda for sure.”
“So what’s next?”
Lydia’s gaze sharpened. “Grace has been hiding out with the Norwoods for years. There has to be something big going on behind the scenes. We can’t move too soon. We need to use them to draw out whoever’s really calling the shots.”
Lucinda was Grace’s real daughter. Grace was working for Black Eagle. And Black Eagle was connected to some serious criminals in Southeast Asia.
This was getting more interesting by the second.
“Alright. Go to France. I’ll come as soon as I finish up here.”
Lydia didn’t miss a beat. “It’s okay. Who’s going to stay with Grandpa if you leave?”
Cameron and Kylie both smiled. “She’s right, Lucinda. We’ll be back soon. You can keep Grandpa company.”
Lucinda bit back a curse. “Fine, Mom, Dad. Lydia, have a safe trip.”
Lydia just gave a polite nod, not even pretending to play along, and turned to leave.
Lucinda watched the three of them walk out the door. She wanted to stomp and scream, but with Grandpa right there, she forced herself to hold it in. She turned to him, her expression full of fake hurt. “Grandpa, do you think Lydia hates me?”
Mr. Norwood’s face softened instantly. “Of course not. Your sister always seems a bit cold, but she’s warm-hearted underneath. She acts that way with everyone. But trust me, she cares about all of us. She just doesn’t know how to show it. Lucinda, try to understand her. Her life hasn’t been easy.”
It took nearly losing everything twice for the old man to realize just how kind and extraordinary Lydia really was.

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...
