Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 751
“Everything’s so expensive lately. I barely spent anything and that million is already gone. Just send me another five hundred thousand. That’s all I’m asking.”
“I know you went gambling again. I gave you everything I had. I don’t even have five thousand right now, let alone five hundred thousand. Stop calling me.”
Lucinda ended the call without another word.
She was shaking with anger. Why did her biological father have to be like this ? Sometimes it felt like fate was just mocking her.
As she sat there fuming, Grace walked in. She was just about to say something comforting when Lucinda’s phone rang again from where she’d thrown it on the floor.
Grace glanced at the screen. The name Frank flashed up.
For a second, Grace just froze. It was like a bolt of lightning went off inside her head.
She watched Lucinda pick up the phone, reject the call, then block the number and toss the phone aside again.
Grace finally snapped out of it. She stared at Lucinda, eyes wide. “Lucinda, who did you just block?”
Lucinda’s hands curled into tight fists.
She didn’t want anyone, not even Grace, to know about Frank. That was why she’d never told Grace about him showing up at her school.
Grace could feel the tension in the air. She lowered her voice. “When did he come looking for you?”
Lucinda’s voice was tight. “A few days after school started. He showed up at the school gate and demanded a million.”
Grace’s jaw dropped. “You actually gave him a million?”
Lucinda’s composure finally broke. She bit back tears and said, “I was with my roommates when he showed up. If I’d fought with him, everyone would’ve found out I’m not the real Norwood heiress. That my father’s a gambling addict. What else could I do?”
Lydia and Connor were out shopping for a gift for Grandpa Samuel. Connor looked like he was carrying the weight of the world.
After they’d picked something out and got into the car, Lydia glanced over at him. “What’s going on with you?”
Connor finally couldn’t hold it in. “Your uncle was joking, right?”
He already had enough rivals for Lydia’s attention. The thought of William introducing her to someone younger than him was too much.
Lydia stayed calm. “Not feeling very confident, are you?”
Connor straightened up a little. “Of course I am. I just don’t want you to feel awkward.”
Lydia paused, then smiled a little. “Honestly, it’s not a big deal. If the other person was my type, I might have to reconsider.”

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...
