Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 771

Elliot looked over at Cameron and Kylie. “Dad, Mom, if they still don’t get who runs this house, maybe it’s time to send them all home for a while. They can come back when they’ve figured it out.”

Kylie nodded right away. “Elliot’s got a point. We don’t need staff who aren’t on the same page as us.”

The moment those words left her mouth, panic swept through the room. The staff dropped to their knees, one after another, voices trembling. “Sir, ma’am, please don’t let us go. We’re innocent. Really, we are. It’s just…”

Everyone’s gaze landed on Lucinda, but before anything else could happen, Grace collapsed onto her knees in front of Cameron and Kylie, her voice shaking. “Sir, ma’am, it was me. I just couldn’t stand how Tina was acting, so I took it upon myself to teach her a lesson. That’s all, I swear. I’ll take whatever punishment you decide.”

Lydia’s eyes narrowed, watching every move.

Kylie frowned, her expression tight. “And what about Judy and Alexis?”

Grace forced herself to keep going, pushing the story further. “They only listen to Tina, not me. I… I just gave them a little punishment, too. Sir, ma’am, I lost my head, it was all my fault. Please, for the sake of all these years I’ve devoted to the Norwood family, forgive me this once. I promise, it’ll never happen again.”

Kylie was about to respond, but Elliot spoke first. “Grace, you say you’ve given years to the Norwood family. Didn’t we pay you well the whole time? Isn’t this your job?”

Grace’s heart was pounding, but Elliot didn’t stop.
