Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 378

Tina stood off to the side, rolling her eyes so hard it was a wonder they didn’t get stuck. Seriously, just look at Lucinda and Grace. Were they really that scared Lydia would end up apprenticing under Maestro Richie too? If Lydia ever wanted to learn piano, she’d probably leave Lucinda in the dust, no contest. Lucinda had been at the keys since she was three, taking lessons from the best for fifteen years. At that point, even someone with half a brain would have picked up some skills. What was there to brag about?

Lydia couldn’t be bothered to waste her time arguing with them. She had a plane to catch soon anyway. Still, as she glanced at Grace and Lucinda, she couldn’t help but notice a tiny flicker of similarity between them.

“Dad, Mom,” Lydia said out of nowhere, “have you ever noticed that Grace and Lucinda kind of look alike?”

The comment nearly sent Grace into a panic. She felt all the color drain from her face. “Miss Lydia, you really know how to joke around.”

Lucinda looked at Lydia like she had lost her mind. Her and Grace, similar? Please. Was Lydia seeing things?

Cameron and Kylie actually took a moment to examine the two of them. Grace, looking like she’d just seen a ghost, quickly brought her hand up to her face and pretended to fix her hair. “Um, there’s still some soup on the stove. I’ll go check on it.”

Cameron laughed and shook his head at Lydia. “I don’t see it.”

A sly smile played at Lydia’s lips. “I was just messing with her.”

After that, when the soup was brought out, Grace was nowhere to be found.

Lydia set down her chopsticks and dabbed her lips with her napkin. “I’m done.”

“Lydia, you’ve been traveling nonstop for three days. Tonight, you should get some real rest,” Kylie said gently.

“I have a flight to France at ten,” Lydia replied.

Her words seemed to freeze the entire table.

“Why are you going to France again?” Cameron asked, looking both surprised and concerned.
