Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 776

Blake’s question struck right at Lucinda’s weakest spot. Her heart squeezed tight and she denied it without thinking. “Blake, I’m not mad at Lydia!”

She knew all too well that if anyone found out how she really felt about Lydia, she’d be the one sent away, not Lydia.

Blake’s voice stayed calm. “So are you angry with Tina? If she broke a rule, you could’ve just punished her according to the rules. Why did you do something so extreme?”

Tina’s injuries were serious. If she went to the police, Lucinda would be in real trouble.

“I... I...” Lucinda stammered, suddenly at a loss for words.

Grace tried to step in. “Lucinda’s just exhausted from training. She—”

He cut her off with a cold look. “Did I ask you? Or does a nanny get to speak for Lucinda now?” His eyes landed on Grace, sharp and icy.

Grace immediately lowered her head. “I’m sorry, I don’t mean to overstep. I just worry about Lucinda. She’s really—”

“You worry about her? So you lead her down the wrong path? You use your title as her nanny to bully the other staff, to mess around in this house?”

“That’s not true. I just want to take care of her,” Grace pleaded.

“From this moment, you’re fired.” Blake’s voice was flat and cold.

Grace stared at him, her world crashing down. For Lucinda, it was another blow when she was already down.

Grace was the only one who ever put her first. No matter what, she always stood by Lucinda, always cared about her feelings.

If Grace left, Lucinda couldn’t imagine how she’d survive in the Norwood family.

“No!” Lucinda shouted.
