Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 478
Lucinda could barely breathe. “What?” Her voice came out shaky, eyes wide with shock.
“Lucinda, I really thought your parents and Blake meant it when they said you were family tonight,” Grace said, her words stinging. “But then, behind your back, they handed Lydia all those benefits. Doesn’t that show they still see you as an outsider? Why does Lydia get everything and you get nothing? You’ve lived with the Norwoods for eighteen years. Did they ever give you eighteen billion? Or even a single one of those storefronts?”
Grace’s words only made Lucinda’s anger burn hotter.
“Eighteen billion? All the LYLX shops across the country?” Lucinda could barely believe what she was hearing. She hoped she’d misunderstood.
Grace nodded, eyes wide with indignation. “Yes, it’s true. Blake is way over the line. He always says you’re like a real sister, but then turns around and showers Lydia with gifts. Eighteen billion, just like that. And those shops all over the country, too. Do you know how much that’s worth?”
She kept pressing the point, making sure Lucinda understood just how much the Norwood family favored Lydia over her.
Lucinda’s hands shook as she clenched them into fists. “They actually… gave all that to Lydia?”
Grace nodded. “I know, right? I couldn’t believe it either. Blake always seems so cold, but when it comes to Lydia, he’s willing to give her the world.”
After letting it all out, Grace finally felt a little better. She’d been trying to figure out how to make Lucinda see that the Norwoods couldn’t be trusted, and now this secret was the perfect proof.
Lucinda felt like she’d been doused in ice water. She’d truly believed that, no matter how much her parents and Blake cared for Lydia, she still had a place in their hearts. After all, they used to love her so much.
But now she saw it was all just empty promises. They had only been trying to keep her quiet. The disappointment cut so deep it made her whole body ache.
When Grace saw the tears welling up in Lucinda’s eyes, she felt sorry for her. “Lucinda, please don’t be too upset. What matters is you finally see them for who they really are. But this isn’t the time to go against them yet,” she reminded gently.
Lydia nodded, then glanced at her phone as it buzzed twice in a row.
Richie: Are you here?
Juliette (President): Lydia, have you arrived?
A little smile curved Lydia’s lips as she typed out her replies.
The lights in the auditorium faded, and the spotlight landed on the white grand piano at center stage. It gleamed under the lights, looking like a piece of art just waiting for someone to bring it to life.

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...
