Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 119

“It looks like you all love throwing around your title as the richest family;s friend whenever you want to get your way.” Lydia’s eyes grew even colder.

Henry scoffed. “My mom and the lady of the Norwood family are practically best friends. I don’t care who you are, you’re done for.”

Lydia just looked at him, her expression dripping with sarcasm. “Is that so?”

“My mom’s on her way to the office right now. You’d better get ready to pack up and leave the Capital.”

“What’s everyone staring at?”

Suddenly, Rose’s voice rang out from the hallway.

The secretaries who had been sneaking peeks at the commotion scrambled back to their desks, hearts pounding. They could hardly believe what they’d just seen. Mr. Ragain tried to mess with the new president and ended up getting his ass handed to him.

“Ma’am, Mr. Henry Ragain… um, Mr. Ragain—” The secretary closest to Rose looked like she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“My son’s back? Where is he?” Rose’s face lit up, totally surprised. Henry had gone to another city for a friend’s birthday and said he’d be gone for a few days. Now the little brat was back and hadn’t even called.

“He’s… he’s in Ms. Norwood’s office,” the secretary replied, voice barely above a whisper.

Rose frowned, wondering why Henry would be in Lydia’s office at all. Then she heard Henry yelling from inside, his voice full of pain. “Mom! Mom, I’m in here! Hurry, come deal with this crazy bitch!”

Rose’s eyes went wide. She didn’t even stop to think. She rushed straight toward Lydia’s office.

When she reached the doorway, she saw her precious son curled up on the floor, white as a sheet, looking more miserable than she’d ever seen him.

“Oh my god!” she screamed. “Henry! What happened? Who hurt you like this?”

Rose dropped to her knees beside him. Henry looked like he was about to pass out from the pain. Her whole body was shaking with rage.
