Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 656
Nathaniel felt miserable, like he’d just swallowed a bug and couldn’t get rid of the taste.
“I’m fine, Mom. I just want to be alone for a bit.”
He pulled out a chair, sat down, and stared into space, looking like he was questioning his whole existence.
Mabel shot him a look and let out a little snort. “This boy. Always locking horns with Chris. He’s gotten obsessed, honestly.”
Cameron and Kylie exchanged glances. Everyone knew the Robinsons and Jeffersons were rivals in politics. It wasn’t something they could fix, even if they wanted to.
Trying to change the subject, Elliot spoke up. “Aunt Mabel, how have Grandpa and Grandma been lately?”
Any conversation about the Robinsons and Jeffersons always ended up killing the mood, so this was a welcome change.
At the mention of Mr. and Mrs. Robinson, Mabel sighed. “They’re about the same as always. Some days are good, some aren’t. Your grandpa is as stubborn as ever. He refuses his medicine, won’t rest when he should. I worry all the time that his stroke will come back.”
Lydia’s curiosity got the better of her. “Grandpa had a stroke?”
Mabel turned to her, hopeful. “Lydia, you know medicine, right? If you have time, could you check on your grandparents? It would mean a lot.”
Lydia nodded right away. “Of course. As long as they’re okay with it, I’d be happy to.”
Kylie lowered her eyes, sadness flickering across her face.
If she hadn’t chosen Cameron over her own family all those years ago, maybe her parents wouldn’t still be shutting her and her kids out.
Mabel smiled warmly. “Leave it to me.” She looked at Kylie and continued, “Don’t be too upset. Your parents have wanted to make up for a long time, they just haven’t had the right chance. If Lydia’s visit can help smooth things over, that would be wonderful.”
Mr. Robinson was stubborn to his core. He clearly missed his daughter, but his pride wouldn’t let him say it out loud.
“Thank you, Mabel. I’m grateful,” Kylie said softly.
She ended with a teasing smile.
Lucinda flushed with embarrassment. “Aunt Mabel, you’re teasing me. I’m not jealous, really.”
“That’s good. That means you’re sensible, a good kid.” Mabel patted her shoulder, her words gentle but hinting at something deeper.
The meaning was clear. If you did get jealous, then you weren’t being mature.
Lucinda was fuming inside. Her aunt really knew how to twist the knife with those subtle digs.
When they got home, Lucinda marched straight upstairs, too angry to say a word.
Grace noticed and called after her. “Lucinda, did something happen at the Robinsons’ tonight? You look upset.”

thank u!...
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...
