Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 707

“Lucinda, what did you say to him? He looked so happy just now.”

“Lucinda, did you send him money? I saw him holding up his phone.”

“Yeah, Lucinda, why’d you give him money?”

Lucinda let out a quiet sigh. “He’s had a tough life. His daughter’s missing, and he thought I looked like her, so he’s been following us around.”

“For real?” Hannah’s eyes went wide.

Lucinda nodded. “Yeah. He’s all alone, struggling to get by. I just felt bad for him, so I gave him a little money. Hopefully it helps.”

The three of them looked at her, all curious. “How much did you give him?”

Lucinda smiled. “Not a lot. Just ten thousand.”

Right away, the girls jumped in with another round of compliments.

“Lucinda, you’re honestly so kind.”

“Seriously, Lucinda. He was lucky to run into you.”

Lucinda shrugged. “My parents always told me to help people who have it rough.”

“No wonder you’re so nice. Your parents are, like, the biggest philanthropists. They donate who knows how much every year.”

“Lucinda, we’re all so jealous of you.”

Lucinda tilted her chin up, her smile soft and proud. “Alright, let’s go shopping.”

Meanwhile, Ethan filled Lydia in on everything that happened with Lucinda.

Lydia’s lips curled in a faint smile. “Got it. Keep an eye on Frank, just in case.”

“Yes, Lydia.”

After the call, Lydia glanced at her phone. A message popped up from Iceblade.

[Let’s meet.]

He’d been texting her every night lately, and every night she just ignored him. Tonight was no different.
