Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 163

Lydia had wanted to sort everything out and break the news to her parents tomorrow. She never expected them to overhear tonight.

Kylie’s nerves got worse with every second Lydia stayed quiet. “Lydia, talk to me. What happened? Please, just tell me.”

Lydia realized there was no hiding it now. “Mom, Parker and Rose tried to take off with the money tonight. The police caught them. I’m at the station right now.”

Kylie stared at her phone, stunned. “What? They did that? Seriously?”

“Yeah. And now Rose keeps asking to call you. She says she wants to see you.”

Kylie’s expression darkened. See her? After everything?

Rose actually thought she could just ask for her now?

“Lydia, I really don’t want to see her right now, but I need to know what’s going on. Which station are you at?”

There had to be more to this. Parker and Rose wouldn’t just run off for no reason.

“We’re at the main station.”

“Alright. Your dad and I are coming right now.”

“Okay.”

As soon as the call ended, Kylie turned to Cameron, still fuming. “Can you believe them? I treated her like my own sister all these years.”

Cameron had heard the whole conversation. He put a comforting hand on her back. “At least now we know what kind of people they really are. Let’s get to the station. Something tells me there’s more to all this than Lydia’s letting on.”

“I think so too. Let’s go.”

While Cameron and Kylie hurried out of the building, a shadow slipped out from the corner of the upstairs landing. Lucinda.

She’d been waiting for Lydia to come home all night, only for her parents to say that Lydia had gone back to Lakeview Town.
