Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 899
He definitely went home with Lydia. Lucinda was so mad she could barely breathe. Her phone rang again. This time it was Grace.
As soon as Lucinda picked up, Grace’s soft, caring voice floated over. “Lucinda, are you done with school? I made your favorite food. Why don’t you come have some before heading home?”
Lucinda didn’t hesitate for a second. The driver hadn’t come for her, and Garrett had left with Lydia. Whatever, she thought, she just wouldn’t go home tonight.
When she got to Grace’s tiny apartment, Lucinda looked around and couldn’t hide her disdain. “Grace, this place is way too small. Let me help you out with some money. You should really move somewhere nicer.”
She stepped into the cramped room, glanced at the old furniture, and instantly lost her appetite. Grace knew Lucinda had grown up pampered, and it was obvious she wasn’t used to places like this.
“Lucinda, this is the closest place to your school. It’s easier for me to look after you here. I’m fine, really. You keep your money. Sit down, I’ll get you some soup.”
But Lucinda shook her head. “No, that’s okay, Grace. I just wanted to check in on you. I’m not hungry, I don’t feel like eating.”
Grace watched her for a moment, then asked quietly, “Lucinda, are you upset? Did someone make you angry?”
Lucinda had always vented to Grace. Now, hearing her ask, she couldn’t hold back. “Garrett has been working at Capital Med School lately. Today I called to ask if he could pick me up, but he said he was out of town for work. I heard Lydia’s voice in the background. He just didn’t want to pick me up.”
She finished with a mix of anger and hurt. “It’s all Lydia’s fault. Ever since she came back, everyone’s changed. It’s like she’s cast some kind of spell—everyone’s always around her, and no one cares how I feel.”
Grace frowned, just as upset. “How could Garrett treat you like this? He used to care about you so much. What’s gotten into him?”
“It’s Lydia! She never should have come back.” Lucinda couldn’t hide her bitterness.
There was a short pause before Kylie answered. “Oh, I forgot to mention. Your sister left a few days ago with Connor for some work. Garrett went to join them today. Something about work, but I don’t really get it.”
Lucinda stared at her phone, stunned. “My sister hasn’t been at school for days?”
Kylie confirmed it. “Yeah, she said she was out looking for some herbs. She might not be back for a while.”
Lydia and Garrett hadn’t shared the real story with the family. They didn’t want anyone to worry.
As soon as Lucinda hung up, she burst out, “Grace, did you hear that? That bitch Lydia ran off with Connor again. Does she even care about her reputation? And Garrett is covering for her, can you believe it? This is just too much.”

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...
