Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 469

She hadn’t seen Night Eagle in months. Once Lucinda and Mikey finally got engaged, she’d need to go back and spend some real time with him. But Lydia was no pushover. From here on out, she’d have to be extra careful. She couldn’t let Lydia find out who she really was, not after all these years of planning.

She was still lost in thought when the door flew open, making her jump. She scrambled up just in time to see Lucinda burst into tears.

All her aches and pains were instantly forgotten. She rushed over, heart pounding with worry. “Lucinda, what happened? Are you alright? Tell me what’s wrong.”

Every time Lucinda cried, Grace felt her own heart twist. Her daughter was supposed to be happy and carefree, not this heartbroken. It just wasn’t right.

“Lucinda, sweetheart, don’t cry. Please, just tell me what happened.” Grace was practically begging, feeling more anxious by the second.

Lucinda could barely get the words out between her sobs. “It’s Mom and Dad, and Blake, and everyone… they…”

Grace didn’t even let her finish. Her face darkened. “Let me guess. They’re siding with Lydia again, aren’t they?”

At that, Lucinda flung herself into Grace’s arms. “Grace, you’re the only one who gets me.”
