Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 770

Grace’s eyes widened the second Lydia reached for her phone. “I have way more experience than Tina. I promise, I’ll take really good care of you.”

She realized she sounded a little too desperate and tried to play it off with a nervous laugh. “Actually, I was just hoping to use this chance to take care of you for a couple of days.”

Lydia didn’t fall for it. She was smiling, but her eyes stayed cool. “You’re basically the most senior member of the Norwood staff, and Lucinda’s personal nanny. I don’t think I could ever afford you.”

Grace felt her blood boil. Was Lydia doing this on purpose? If Lydia called Tina now, everyone would find out what Lucinda did to the staff that day. Mr. Norwood, Mrs. Norwood, and Blake would never let it go. She could not let Lucinda’s image as the sweet, innocent girl get ruined.

“Lydia, you’re being too nice. It’s just a couple of days, really. Just give me a minute, I’ll go grab your milk from the kitchen.”

She tried to make a quick escape, but Lydia stopped her. “If you insist, I’ll let you help. But I still don’t get why Tina would take time off without telling me. I think I should call her and see what’s going on.”

Grace’s feet froze before she could take another step.

“Lydia…”

“You keep stopping me from calling her. What’s going on? Are you hiding something?” Lydia’s calm gaze suddenly turned icy.

Kylie and Cameron exchanged a look. They could tell something wasn’t right.

“Grace, what really happened to Tina? And what about Judy and Alexis?” Kylie asked. These people worked for the family, and their well-being mattered, too.
