Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 769
Lucinda’s eyes dimmed and her jaw clenched tight with jealousy. It was always the same. As soon as Lydia walked in, everyone’s attention shifted to her, and Lucinda faded into the background.
“Where did you and Connor go on your date?” Elliot asked, sounding half-annoyed, half-curious. He hadn’t seen Lydia in over two weeks and had missed her, but when he came home, the first thing he heard was that she’d left with Connor that morning. He couldn’t help but feel a bit left out.
Lydia laughed. “It wasn’t a date. We just went to the hospital to visit Grandma Smith.”
Elliot’s teasing grin disappeared. “How’s she doing?”
“She’s stable right now.”
“That’s a relief.”
Blake turned to Lydia. “So, what’s your plan with the Gibson family situation?”
Honestly, Blake had rushed home because he heard someone was picking on his little sister. If not for that, he probably would have stayed away a bit longer.
“Connor’s on it, and the police are investigating. We should know more by tomorrow.”
“If anyone gives you trouble again, don’t hold back. I’ve got your back,” Blake said.
“And me too!” Elliot added, sliding closer.
Lydia felt a wave of warmth. “Thank you, Blake. Thank you, Elliot.”
Lucinda watched their sibling moment, feeling like it was all just too much. They really were close.
Suddenly, Kylie remembered something and called out to one of the maids nearby. “Where’s Tina? Why hasn’t she brought Lydia her milk yet?”
Usually, as soon as Lydia came home, Tina would rush to the kitchen and make sure she had her favorite milk. But tonight, Tina was nowhere in sight.
Lydia narrowed her eyes, picking up on the strange atmosphere.
Blake, who spent a lot of time at home, sensed something was off too.
Kylie frowned. “What’s going on? Did Judy and Alexis take leave as well?”
Grace had no choice but to nod. “Yes, ma’am. They’re both out.”
Lucinda jumped in quickly. “Mom, if they’re all on leave, just send two others. We have plenty of staff. Or Grace could look after Lydia for a couple of days.”
Grace went along with it. “That’s fine, ma’am. I can take care of Lydia.”
Lydia gave her a pointed look. “I’m just used to having Tina around. Her leaving so suddenly feels odd. Maybe I should give her a call, ask if something happened.”

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...
