Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 172

Cameron and Kylie had been planning to talk to her, but when they saw Lucinda waiting up, their hearts melted a little.

There she was, still so thoughtful, staying up late just to make sure they got home safe and already asking about her sister. It confirmed what they’d always believed. Lucinda would never do anything to hurt Lydia.

“Lucinda, sweetheart, you don’t need to worry. We just went to the police station. Your sister’s still there,” Kylie said, reaching out and gently taking her hand. “Look at you, though. You were so anxious you forgot your slippers. The floor’s cold. You’ll catch a chill.”

Lucinda looked up, eyes wide and innocent. “I was just so worried about you and Dad. I rushed out and forgot. It’s fine, Mom, really. But what about Lydia? Why is she still at the station? Did something happen? Even with you both there, she couldn’t come home?”

She furrowed her brow, looking the picture of concern, but inside she was almost giddy with happiness.

Cameron felt even more certain that Lucinda must have had her reasons for what she’d said earlier.

“It’s okay, Lucinda. Lydia didn’t do anything wrong. Actually, she did something incredible for the company.”

Lucinda stared at him, stunned. That didn’t make sense.

How could Lydia, that clueless country girl, have only just started at the company and already pulled off anything impressive?

“Oh, Lucinda, you have no idea how amazing your sister is,” Kylie said, pride shining in her eyes and voice. “If it weren’t for her, I’d still be in the dark about Rose and Parker lying to me all this time!”

For a moment, Lucinda’s face went stiff, but she quickly put on a look of surprise. “Really? Lydia’s that capable? But… why did you have to go to the police station, then? And what did Rose and Parker do?”
