Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 871

The second Frank got hooked on gambling, he became a different person. There was no way Lucinda could let him and her mom cross paths again.

“What do you even know? Greg’s loaded and powerful. For her to catch his eye—that’s the best thing that could happen to her! I’m Greg’s father-in-law now. At the casino, all those punks who used to talk down to me have to show me some respect!”

“You really believe that? You’re not even Sandy’s real father. If you don’t learn to keep your mouth shut, you might not live to regret it.” Grace knew exactly what kind of man Frank was.

Frank’s face turned red with anger. “You nasty bitch. I’m going to teach you a lesson today.”

He spat out the words, already reaching for his belt.

Grace’s eyes flashed with fury. “Frank, you disgusting old cock. Get lost!”

“Please, like you haven’t begged for it before. Don’t act all innocent now.”

...

Elliot’s concert was an absolute hit. With Lorelei joining him on stage, it blew up all around the world.

The media jumped on it right away, making them the hottest ship of the moment.

Everywhere you looked, there were screenshots of them singing with those intense looks at each other, holding hands, all kinds of sweet moments. The internet couldn’t get enough.

Most fans were loving it, but one person was so jealous it hurt.

That person was Leila.

During the concert, she’d been too shocked to notice anything, so she completely missed that Lorelei was actually Lydia. It wasn’t until she saw the rumors online and went to Lucinda for answers that Lucinda turned it back on her. “Leila, you really didn’t realize Lorelei is Lydia?”

“Relax, Lucinda. I know how to handle myself.”

After the call ended, Lucinda’s lips curled into a cold smile. That little push should give Leila all the motivation she needed.

Sunday afternoon, Garrett insisted on driving Lydia back to school himself. He explained that the president of Capital Med School wanted to meet with him.

Lydia figured it must be about the research on the virus antidote.

She’d told Connor not to bother driving her, and he’d grumbled about it for ages.

When Lucinda heard Garrett was taking Lydia to school, she immediately started to whine. “Garrett, you’re driving my sister to school? Why can’t you drop me off too? Capital College is basically next door.”

Garrett checked his watch. “Lucinda, I’m meeting with Mr. Moore at the med school. We have to leave now. You haven’t even packed yet. Why don’t you ask the driver to take you?”
