Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 616
“Dad, Mom, stop making the same mistake over and over.”
Luke’s voice rang out across the hall, sharp and unexpected. Milana and Jenson froze, staring at him in shock, their minds scrambling to catch up.
“Luke? You… but you said you…” Milana stammered.
He looked so fragile, just out of the hospital, his face still ghostly pale. It was as if all the color had been washed from him by time and illness. His eyes, once so bright, now looked tired and dull, like someone had drawn a thin curtain over them. Every step he took toward the stage seemed to cost him everything he had.
Milana couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Luke was here, and he wasn’t alone. Lydia was beside him.
Milana’s expression twisted in anger. “Lydia! It’s you! You brought Luke here, didn’t you?”
Jenson’s voice shook with barely contained fury. “Lydia! Luke said he wasn’t feeling well, but you went to the hospital and dragged him here anyway? What is wrong with you? What are you trying to do?”
He was livid. After everything he’d done to save Smith Corporation, Lydia had to show up and ruin it all. And now she’d gotten Luke involved too. It was unbelievable.
Lydia just smirked, her tone bold and carefree. “It’s his birthday party, isn’t it? Why shouldn’t he be here?”
That left both Milana and Jenson completely speechless.
Milana finally managed, “You… Lydia! You know this is Luke’s birthday, so why are you here making trouble?”
She shot a desperate look at Luke. “Luke, don’t listen to her. Come to us. She’s just a backstabber who wants nothing more than to tear this family apart!”
Luke’s eyes were full of pain as he looked at them. His voice was rough and tired. “Who’s really been lying to me?”
“Luke, it’s her, of course,” Milana insisted, her voice rising in panic. “She wants to ruin our family. You can’t believe a word she says!”
Milana’s heart was pounding out of control. Her son meant everything to her. Now he was listening to Lydia, turning away from them. How could she not freak out?
Luke just let out a tired, humorless laugh and fell silent.
Lydia stood tall and unbothered, her eyes cold as she stared at Milana and Jenson. Her voice was calm, but every word hit like a punch. “You abused Grandma. You ignored her, and while she was lying there in a coma, you snuck around transferring her assets and selling off her shares to cover your company’s losses. And now you’re too scared to admit it?”
She paused, her gaze unwavering. “You did it, but you can’t even own up to it?”
That set off a wave of shock through the room. The guests started whispering, some gasping out loud.
So that was the truth.
How could they treat their family like that?
Some of the older shareholders, faces dark with anger, stood up right away.

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...
