Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 620

Luke couldn’t find a single word to say.

The whole room went quiet.

Milana stared at Luke, then suddenly burst out laughing, the sound sharp and desperate. “Luke, this isn’t on me. It’s your grandmother. She’s the one who refused to see reason. She insisted on giving our family’s money to Lydia, someone who isn’t even one of us.

“Your dad and I begged her. We tried everything, but she wouldn’t budge.

“And then there’s Lydia.

“She’s the one who nearly destroyed our company, and your grandmother still wouldn’t let us have the assets. What else was I supposed to do?

“If you want someone to blame, blame Lydia.

“She forced my hand. If she hadn’t targeted Smith Corporation, if she hadn’t pushed us so far, I never would have had to move the family fortune over to us. That money always belonged to the Smiths. What’s so wrong about fighting for what’s ours?”

People in the crowd shook their heads, watching Milana with a mix of pity and disbelief.

Lydia let out a cold laugh. “Grandma trusted you with Smith Corporation. You messed everything up, lost all your money, and now you want to pin it on her?

“You keep saying I forced your hand. Smith Corporation was in crisis so many times, and if I hadn’t helped you in secret, the company would’ve been finished ages ago.

“This time I simply chose not to help, and suddenly I’m the villain? That’s hilarious.”

Milana snapped, her eyes wild as she glared at Lydia. “Then why are you still clinging to the Smith family’s fortune? You’re already Miss L. Why do you care so much about what’s ours? You traitor!”

A gasp rippled through the crowd.

Everyone turned to stare at Lydia, stunned.

Did they hear that right? Lydia was Miss L? The Miss L from LYLX?

That couldn’t be real.

Lydia smiled, her lips curling in a mysterious way. She walked forward, her presence so cool and commanding the whole room seemed to freeze.
