Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 531
Cameron smiled at her. “Lydia, you really work too hard. You should let yourself take a break every now and then.”
Lucinda followed, keeping her smile gentle. “He’s right. You’re always so busy and exhausted. You need to eat better and take care of yourself.”
Lydia glanced at her. Lucinda just smiled back, all sweetness. Lydia didn’t bother to figure out if Lucinda was really turning over a new leaf or just pretending. Time would show the truth.
“Thanks,” Lydia said, then headed into the villa. Cameron and Kylie hurried after her.
Lucinda’s smile faded a little, but she trailed behind them anyway.
Watching from the side, Grace was about to explode with anger. Her daughter was too kind, too naïve. Did Lucinda really think Lydia would ever treat her with real warmth? And everyone in the Norwood family was always going on about fairness, but obviously playing favorites. Why couldn’t Lucinda see any of this?
Inside the living room, Lydia’s grandfather greeted her with genuine warmth and concern.
Lydia nodded, put down her backpack, and took out a few small porcelain bottles she’d made at Connor’s over the last couple of days. Each bottle was so beautifully crafted that anyone could tell these weren’t ordinary.
She picked up a gourd-shaped bottle and handed it to her grandfather. “I made these to help your heart. Just take one every night before bed.”
Lydia’s pills were nothing like what you’d find in a pharmacy. She’d mixed rare, precious herbs. Even a single pill could go for millions if someone wanted to auction it off in secret. The whole bottle was unbelievably valuable.
Mr. Norwood’s eyes went soft. “Lydia, thank you for everything.”
“My only wish is for you to stay healthy.”
He felt even more emotional hearing her say that. He couldn’t believe he’d ever hesitated to accept such a wonderful granddaughter. He must have lost his mind back then.
Lydia’s cool, confident figure disappeared up the stairs. Lucinda felt awkward, like she was just a shadow. Lydia hadn’t really looked at her the whole time.
Kylie caught the tension and gently patted Lucinda’s arm. “Lucinda, your sister just takes a while to open up. Give her time, you’ll get close.”
Lucinda took a deep breath, then nodded with a determined smile. “Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll keep trying.”
She was determined to win Lydia’s approval.
Up in her room, Lydia had just opened the door when her phone buzzed. It was a message from Iceblade, who’d been off the grid for days. [Action tonight.]

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...
