Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 830
Lucinda’s face went stiff. So Elliot was taking Lydia’s side again? Seriously?
“Elliot, I know I messed up,” she said, looking at Lydia with a pitiful expression. “Lydia, I was being childish before. I’m sorry.”
Lydia didn’t even acknowledge her. She looked straight at Elliot. “So, what are you planning to do about this?”
Elliot took a breath. “I’ll post a statement and clear things up when I get home.”
The color drained from Lucinda’s face. “But Elliot, my sister isn’t ready for everyone to know who she is yet.”
If Elliot told everyone that Lydia was his real sister and not some mysterious girlfriend, the truth would come out. Then everyone online would know that Lucinda was never the real Norwood heiress. Her secret would be out for the whole world to see. She couldn’t let that happen.
Elliot’s gaze lingered on her. “Still, Lydia’s identity will have to be made public at some point.”
He could read Lucinda’s mind now. She was just scared people would find out she was a fraud, scared of how everyone would look at her once they knew.
Lucinda’s lips tightened, her face even paler. Of course, he was right. Lydia’s real identity couldn’t stay hidden forever, but Lucinda wanted to keep it under wraps for as long as possible. She needed to find someone powerful to lean on before the truth came out. She’d hoped that would be Connor or Mikey, but the Jeffersons acted like they were out to get her and never gave her the time of day. Maybe Grace was right. She needed to use Caspian to get back in the Norwood family’s good graces. The Hansen family might not be as influential as the Jeffersons, but they were still respected in the Capital. It wouldn’t be too embarrassing to be associated with them.
“I get it, Elliot. It’s just that my sister said she’s not ready yet,” Lucinda said, trying to sound reasonable.
Elliot turned to Lydia. “Lydia, when do you want to tell everyone you’re the Norwood heiress?”
Lydia smiled, a little mischievous. “Honestly… I could announce it right now if I wanted.”
Lucinda’s heart skipped a beat. She clenched her fists without even realizing. What was Lydia up to now? She wasn’t ready for this at all.
Lucinda wanted to say more, but Lydia was already leaving.
“Lydia, come hang out at the company whenever you want!” Leo called after her, waving.
Lydia didn’t even look back. She just lifted a hand and flashed an OK sign behind her.
Elliot looked at Lucinda. “You should head home too.”
Lucinda lowered her head, putting on her best sad face. “Elliot, I’m really sorry. Can you please stop being mad at me? I swear, I won’t cause any more trouble for my sister.”
There was a time when Elliot, like his other brothers, had genuinely cared for Lucinda. Even after Lydia came back, they’d still treated Lucinda as family. But she’d never been grateful. Instead, she got greedy, always picking fights with Lydia, and even teamed up with Grace to spread rumors about her online.

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...
