Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 1014

Lydia got the message.

“Okay, just keep an eye on him for me, but don’t let him catch on.”

Tina nodded without hesitation. “Of course.”

Lydia still had no idea why Lucinda had brought Frank to the house, but she was certain they were up to something.

Upstairs, Lucinda was in the middle of a mini fashion show, pulling out four dresses, each a different style and color. She slipped into a white strapless dress. Kylie told her it was gorgeous, but Lucinda looked torn.

“Mom, we’re just going to a family dinner. Isn’t this too much? Maybe I should try the pink one instead.”

Kylie just smiled. “You’re beautiful, Lucinda. You can wear anything and look amazing. Just pick what you like best.”

Lucinda kept changing outfits, but nothing felt quite right. Kylie watched her, a little amused, and finally said, “Should I call someone to bring over a few more options?”

“It’s okay, Mom, I’m just being indecisive.”

Kylie grinned. “Why not call your sister for some advice? She’s Miss L, after all. She always knows what looks best.”

Lucinda shook her head right away. “She’s so busy, I don’t want to bother her. I’ll ask Grandpa and Dad instead. Tonight’s my first time visiting everyone at the Robinsons. I really don’t want to embarrass you.”

She was already heading for the door, excitement lighting up her face. “Wait for me, Mom. I’ll be right back.”

Kylie just shook her head, smiling as Lucinda hurried off.

Down in the game room, Cameron, Connor, and Mr. Norwood were deep into a chess match when Lucinda’s sweet voice floated in from the hall. “Grandpa, Dad, sorry to interrupt, but do you think this dress is okay for the dinner tonight?”

She stepped inside, pausing just long enough to strike her most charming pose.

It was hard not to notice Lucinda. She’d been pampered her entire life and carried herself with a confidence only a real heiress could pull off. With delicate features, flawless skin from high-end skincare, and that expensive little dress, she looked stunning.
