Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 588

Byron froze when he saw Lydia. Wait, these two were the genius’s adoptive parents?

“Miss Norwood, this is...” he started, but Lydia didn’t even acknowledge him. She was all business, like they were total strangers. “Officer, I was actually about to file a report myself.”

Jenson and Milana both looked completely shocked, as if Lydia was speaking another language. They just stared at her, confused. “You want to file a report? For what?” Byron asked. Honestly, the atmosphere around Lydia was so tense it made him feel like he could barely breathe.

“I suspect someone intentionally pushed my grandmother down the stairs. She almost died,” Lydia said, her voice cool and steady.

Jenson immediately lost it. “Lydia, stop making wild accusations! Your grandmother is old. It started raining, the lights went out, she couldn’t see the steps. Her legs aren’t strong anymore. That’s why she fell. It was an accident, not some murder attempt!”

“We’ll find out if it was on purpose or not. That’s what an investigation is for, right?” Lydia replied, her gaze icy.

Milana let out a cold laugh. “The only one with her was Sandy. Are you seriously saying my daughter pushed your grandmother? She’s just a girl.”

Lydia looked right at Milana. “Don’t you already know the answer to that?”

Milana’s face paled and she started shouting, like she’d just been deeply wronged. “Lydia, dhow could you say that! Your grandmother’s fall had nothing to do with us. It was an accident!”

Byron stepped in, trying to keep things calm. “Okay, let’s just file the report and let the police handle the investigation.”

Lydia nodded. “That’s fine with me.”

Milana seemed to hesitate for a second, then started shouting again. “We’ll cooperate, but officer, you need to make her bring my daughter here first! My daughter called us after it happened, but we haven’t seen her in three days. Lydia must have done something to her!”

Byron glanced at Lydia.
