Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 339

Now that Lydia, the real heiress, was finally back, Tina was determined not to let her walk straight into Lucinda’s traps. The last thing she wanted was for Lydia to be clueless while Lucinda snuck around, trying to steal Connor for herself.

From their perspective, once Lucinda found out she wasn’t actually the Norwood family’s true daughter, she should have either packed her bags and left or at least kept her head down. She could stay. But competing with Lydia at every turn, always trying to come out on top, was just asking for trouble.

Lydia arched an eyebrow, a little higher this time.

“Thanks for letting me know, Tina. I’ll keep my eyes open.”

“Of course. Try to get some rest.”

“You too.”

Lydia had always known about Lucinda’s crush on Connor. It was impossible to miss. Too bad for Lucinda, Connor just wasn’t interested.

She started up the stairs, only to spot Grace slipping out of Lucinda’s room on the second floor. Grace froze when she saw Lydia standing there.

For a second, Grace’s heart skipped. That was way too close. If Lydia had overheard her talking with Lucinda, who knew what kind of trouble that would stir up.

“Miss, you’re back?”

Lydia stared at her for a moment, her voice cool and even. “Your face looks better?”

Grace felt a jolt of guilt and gave a stiff laugh. “Yeah, it’s fine. Just a little allergic reaction. I took some medicine and it’s cleared up.”

Lydia suddenly changed the subject. “Grace, have you had some plastic surgeries?”

Grace nearly jumped. For a moment, her heart pounded so loudly she thought Lydia might hear it.

“Lydia, don’t be silly. I’m not young anymore. Why would I bother with that?”

“Oh? Because it seems like your face…” Lydia let her words fade out, leaving the question hanging.
