Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 770
Grace’s eyes widened the second Lydia reached for her phone. “I have way more experience than Tina. I promise, I’ll take really good care of you.”
She realized she sounded a little too desperate and tried to play it off with a nervous laugh. “Actually, I was just hoping to use this chance to take care of you for a couple of days.”
Lydia didn’t fall for it. She was smiling, but her eyes stayed cool. “You’re basically the most senior member of the Norwood staff, and Lucinda’s personal nanny. I don’t think I could ever afford you.”
Grace felt her blood boil. Was Lydia doing this on purpose? If Lydia called Tina now, everyone would find out what Lucinda did to the staff that day. Mr. Norwood, Mrs. Norwood, and Blake would never let it go. She could not let Lucinda’s image as the sweet, innocent girl get ruined.
“Lydia, you’re being too nice. It’s just a couple of days, really. Just give me a minute, I’ll go grab your milk from the kitchen.”
She tried to make a quick escape, but Lydia stopped her. “If you insist, I’ll let you help. But I still don’t get why Tina would take time off without telling me. I think I should call her and see what’s going on.”
Grace’s feet froze before she could take another step.
“Lydia…”
“You keep stopping me from calling her. What’s going on? Are you hiding something?” Lydia’s calm gaze suddenly turned icy.
Kylie and Cameron exchanged a look. They could tell something wasn’t right.
“Grace, what really happened to Tina? And what about Judy and Alexis?” Kylie asked. These people worked for the family, and their well-being mattered, too.
Elliot’s expression was stormy. “Don’t bother talking to them. Just fire them all.”
Kylie hadn’t realized things had gotten this bad. She always treated the staff kindly, but that didn’t mean they could disrespect her or the family. It was obvious they were all scared of someone.
“Mom, they’re clearly too scared to talk. Someone must be threatening them. I wonder who that could be,” Lydia said, her tone light but her meaning clear.
Lucinda jumped in, trying to sound reasonable. “Lydia, you’re overthinking this. They’re quiet because there’s nothing to say. You don’t need to turn the whole house upside down over one maid.”
Lydia’s smile deepened as she glanced at Lucinda, but she didn’t say another word.

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...
