Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 206

Since they were standing right in front of the Norwood family’s main gate, the camera caught everything perfectly. The picture was clear, and you could hear every word.

Lucinda never actually said she was the goddaughter. But when Parker and Rose guessed it out loud, Lucinda didn’t correct them. In fact, you could tell by the look on her face and the way she acted that they’d guessed right.

That’s how Rose and Parker ended up convinced she was the Norwood family’s goddaughter.

If someone brought that video out as proof, and Lucinda just kept denying it, even the police wouldn’t be able to do much. The word “goddaughter” never once left her lips.

“The police will figure out what really happened,” Lydia said, setting down her fork and knife. She looked over at Cameron and Kylie. “I’m done. Please excuse me.”

If Rose and Parker were determined to believe Lucinda misled them, then it would be up to Lucinda to clear her own name with the police.

Lydia’s words left Lucinda feeling uneasy.

But then she thought, I’m the heiress of the wealthiest family in the city. With my parents and grandpa backing me up, as long as I stick to my story, what could the police actually do?

Lydia was just trying to scare her. It wouldn’t work.

A few minutes later, Jack called Kylie to say he was waiting at the hospital entrance with a whole carload of gifts.

Right then, Connor called Lydia to let her know he had arrived.

Lydia was about to say she’d come downstairs, but Connor just laughed and told her, “I’m already in the elevator. I’ll be up in a second.”

Lydia blinked in surprise.

After she hung up, Kylie noticed the look on Lydia’s face and asked, “What’s up, Lydia? Is Connor stuck in traffic or something?”

Lydia shook her head. “He’s already on his way up.”

Lucinda felt her heart skip a beat. She couldn’t believe she was about to see Connor again.

She’d missed him so much these past few days that she’d barely been able to sleep.

She glanced down and realized she hadn’t really dressed up today. Her dress was a little too casual, and she immediately regretted not putting in more effort before leaving the house.
