Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 136

For once, Lucinda felt like she’d found someone who truly got her. Listening to Rose vent about Lydia, it was like meeting an old friend who shared all her frustrations.

“Ever since Lydia started at the company, Mr. Ragain and I haven’t had a single peaceful day,” Rose complained, her voice rising. “Now everyone at work is fed up with her, but your parents act like she’s the best thing that ever happened. They ignore everything we say. Lucinda, can you please talk to them for my sake? We just want what’s best for the company.”

Lucinda acted shocked. “Really? So much has been going on at the office these past couple of days?”

Rose started crying even harder. “Yes, Lucinda. Can you please let meknow, who is this Lydia anyway? Why are your parents so taken with her? It’s like they can’t tell right from wrong anymore.”

Rose had been wracking her brain, but she still couldn’t figure out where Lydia had come from.

“Uh… Did my mom not tell you?” Lucinda looked uncomfortable. The truth was, she didn’t want to say anything. She definitely didn’t want anyone to know that Lydia was the real Norwood heiress, while she was just some farmer’s daughter from the sticks.

Rose shook her head. “No, she didn’t. Lucinda, do you know something? Please, just tell me, okay?”

Lucinda looked helpless. “If my mom didn’t tell you, how could I? You’ll just have to wait for her to say it herself.”

Rose was not giving up. “Lucinda, please, just tell me. If you do, I swear I won’t breathe a word to anyone.”

Lucinda glanced around, then leaned in and whispered, “She saved my grandpa’s life. She just came from the countryside. Now she’s living here as my mom’s daughter. You can’t tell anyone about this.”

“What?” Rose’s eyes went wide.
