Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 407
Lucinda shot Tina a sharp glare, her eyes full of promise. Just wait. As soon as she got the chance, she’d make sure this annoying little lackey was out of here.
The competition started up again. For anyone watching at home, an hour felt endless. Lucinda especially was bored out of her mind. She pretended she needed the bathroom just to get away from the living room.
Once she got to the first-floor restroom, she made a face and muttered, “What a total waste of my time. Why am I even watching this boring contest? I could be upstairs practicing piano instead.” She huffed, already imagining the day when Lydia, that country bumpkin, would have to watch her shine at the international piano competition and win it all. Lydia might be a genius doctor and top student, but so what? Piano was elegant. It was refined. There was no way someone who grew up in the countryside had ever even touched one.
Lucinda took her time washing her hands, already planning to use piano practice as an excuse to escape to her room. Before she could leave, a sudden wave of screams echoed from the living room.
“Oh my God!”
“Jesus!”
The shouting just kept going. She could hear her parents and the maids all caught up in it.
A jolt of panic shot through her. Did something happen to Grandpa? Was it his heart again?
She dried her hands quickly and rushed out, but halfway there she stopped. Why am I freaking out? Wasn’t it Lydia who did Grandpa’s surgery? If something went wrong again, it would just prove Lydia isn’t as skilled as everyone thinks. Maybe this was the perfect moment to show Mom and Dad that Lydia’s so-called talent was all talk.
With that thought, Lucinda put on her most anxious face, pulled open the door, and called out, “What’s wrong? Did Grandpa have another attack?”
The living room went silent. Mr. Norwood, Cameron, and Kylie all stared at her, excitement still on their faces. The maids, who had been flailing around, suddenly had nothing to say.
What is with Lucinda? Can’t she hope for something good for Grandpa?
“She’s on the judges’ panel. And your brother Blake is a judge too. He didn’t even tell us she’d be there,” Mr. Norwood said, beaming.
As soon as Blake was mentioned, Lucinda’s pride kicked in. “Judging at an international competition is nothing for Blake. Let me see… Why aren’t they showing the judges yet?”
No sooner had she finished speaking than the camera switched.
The judges’ table appeared on screen. The first seat and the last were impossible to miss. In seat number one was Blake, no doubt about it. But at the far end of the table sat…
Lucinda stared at the nameplate, then at the person behind it. For a second, her mind went completely blank. It felt like her whole world crumbled in an instant.
“That’s…”

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...
