Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 748
Lucinda stared at the floor, twisting her fingers together. She looked like she’d just been through the worst kind of heartbreak.
“But now that my sister’s back, do you think they’ll still like me?”
“Of course they will.”
Kylie smoothed Lucinda’s hair, her eyes gentle and full of love. “Lucinda, you’ve always been our precious girl. It doesn’t matter if you’re our biological daughter or not. We love you, always.”
Cameron chimed in, sounding a little guilty. “She’s right, Lucinda. No matter what happens, you’ll always be the center of our world.”
Lucinda’s eyes filled with tears. She threw herself into Kylie’s arms, her voice trembling. “Mom, really? You’re not disappointed in me?”
“Silly child, we love you so much. Why would we ever be disappointed in you?”
Lucinda hugged her tighter. “I promise, Mom, I’ll always be good to you and Dad.”
“All we want is for you to be happy, sweetheart.” Kylie patted her gently on the back.
Lucinda nodded hard, but behind her lowered lashes, there was a cold, mocking glint.
They loved to say she was their own daughter, but the way they treated her and Lydia was never the same.
As soon as Cameron and Kylie finished comforting her, they hurried out the door, chatting about what gifts to buy for their visit to the Robinsons the next day.
Lucinda’s mood crashed even lower. Walking upstairs, she caught the maids whispering excitedly in the hallway.
“I can’t believe Mrs. Norwood and the Robinsons finally made up. This is really great.”
“Yeah, she always looked so sad during the holidays. Now she can finally visit her family again.”
“You’re absolutely right, Miss Lucinda. These maids need to be put in their place,” Grace agreed.
Tina, who Kylie had recently promoted to the same level as Grace, stood quietly. Technically, there was no hierarchy, but since Tina now cared for Lydia, the Norwoods’ real daughter, most of the staff had started siding with her. It drove Grace crazy and made Lucinda furious.
“Tina, I’m thirsty. Bring me some water. Make sure it’s hot. I only drink it hot.”
Lucinda’s tone was sharp, her face clouded with irritation.
Tina nodded quickly. “Yes, Miss Lucinda.” She hurried off, but couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling. Why would Lucinda want hot water on a day like this?
A moment later, Tina returned with a glass of water and handed it over politely. “Here you are, Miss Lucinda.”
Lucinda looked down. There wasn’t even a hint of steam. Her face darkened. “Tina, are you losing your hearing? I said I wanted hot water. Boiling hot.”

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...
