Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 517
Lucinda didn’t feel as desperate as she once had. Now, she just wanted to give herself one more shot. Marriage, for a woman, was like getting a second life, and she wanted to make a good choice. She had already made up her mind. If Mikey wasn’t interested, then that was that. Her parents had always promised to treat her like their own daughter, so there was no need to rush into anything. As long as she still had the Norwood name, finding a good match shouldn’t be a problem.
Not long after, Mr. Jefferson’s call came in. Mr. Norwood picked up right away, trying to sound upbeat. “Samuel, so what did Mikey say?”
There was a pause on the other end, then Grandpa Samuel’s voice came through, gentle and apologetic. “Wayne, I’m sorry. Mikey… well, he doesn’t think of Lucinda that way.”
Mr. Norwood froze. “Oh…”
Samuel went on, “He’s swamped with work lately, barely has time for anything else. All he thinks about is his career. He said he just isn’t in the right place for a relationship right now. Lucinda is a wonderful girl, so please don’t take it the wrong way. Tell her not to be sad. She really is a good kid, and I’m sure she’ll find someone who’s just right for her.”
With Samuel making things so clear, Mr. Norwood couldn’t keep pushing. He just nodded. After a few polite words, they hung up.
The living room went completely quiet. No one spoke first. Cameron, Blake, and Kylie didn’t seem surprised by the outcome.
Cameron jumped in as well. “School’s starting soon. Capital College is full of great guys. Maybe you’ll meet someone you really like there.”
Grace was fuming inside. How many boys at Capital College could even compare to the Jeffersons? The Norwoods were clearly just looking to marry Lucinda off to anyone. It was outrageous.
Lucinda took a deep breath and forced a small smile. “Dad, Mom, I’m okay. You’re right. I’m only eighteen. I’m still young, and I’ll meet the right person eventually. For now, I want to focus on my studies and not worry about relationships.”

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...
