Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 575
“Lydia grew up in the countryside too. So, what, you think she’s a bumpkin just like me?” Sandy shot back, her voice full of bitterness.
“You…”
“Enough!”
The heavy wooden door swung open. Mrs. Smith’s voice rolled out, low and sharp, shutting everyone up in an instant.
The moment they saw her, relief flickered through the group.
“Mom, you finally agreed to see us,” Jenson blurted out, his excitement obvious.
Milana stepped forward, swallowing her pride. “Mom, we are so sorry. If Lydia ever wants to come back, we won’t stop her. The house is hers, she can live however she likes…”
Leaning on her cane, Mrs. Smith let out a cold laugh. “Now you realize you made a mistake? Too late. You’re not children anymore. You made this mess, so you clean it up.”
Her words landed hard. Clark and Vivia couldn’t even meet her eyes, both of them wishing they could disappear. After ten years without a single visit, now they showed up, only because they wanted something. It was shameless, and they all knew it.
Still, none of them could’ve guessed that Lydia—quiet, unremarkable Lydia—would end up befriending someone as powerful as Miss Davis.
Jenson’s face crumpled. He dropped to his knees with a loud thud. “Mom, I know everything Lydia did for us now. It was me and Milana who were stupid. We never should’ve driven her out of the Smith family. We were wrong. Please, talk to her for us. Ask her to give the company another chance. Smith Corporation is your life’s work. We can’t just let it go under…”
The members of the Lane family exchanged confused glances.
Lydia, give Smith Corporation another chance? What was that supposed to mean?
What kind of person had they gone up against last night?
There was no surprise when the Lane family left, their gifts forgotten and their hopes dashed. Jenson and Milana were tossed out by Connor’s men, no gentler than before.
But Sandy stayed rooted to the spot, refusing to budge. She watched Mrs. Smith turn to go and called out, her voice shaking, “Grandma, do you really not care about me at all? I’m your real granddaughter.”
At those words, Mrs. Smith stopped in her tracks.
Sandy pressed on, her eyes shining with unshed tears. “I know you love Lydia, but I’m your granddaughter too. I was lost for eighteen years. My life was miserable, barely even living. When they finally found me… they took my kidney. What did I ever do to deserve this?”
The old woman turned to face her, gaze sharp and unreadable, her words ice cold. “What is it you want from me?”

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...
