Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 780

Blake glanced at Grace, his eyes icy. Grace ducked her head so low it looked like she might hit the floor. His voice was just as cold as his stare. “Who said you could speak?”

Grace never thought things would blow up like this. She definitely didn’t expect Lydia to have everything planned out, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Lydia wasn’t just ruthless, she was next level. This wasn’t just about getting rid of a nanny. Lydia wanted Lucinda out too.

Cameron was still staring at the screenshot that had left Blake speechless. He could barely wrap his head around it. Shock, disbelief, hurt… everything hit him all at once.

Lucinda’s text was simple: [Grace, good job.]

Grace had replied: [Just wait. The real show is coming. Lydia’s out here at school, engaged to Connor, but flirting with her instructor. She’ll ruin herself soon enough!]

The exchange was short but said way too much. Even though Lucinda only sent a few words, it was clear she knew exactly what Grace was up to. She didn’t stop it. She cheered her on. That said everything.

Kylie couldn’t believe it either. How could Lucinda do something so cold? The shock in the room slowly turned to disappointment. It felt endless.

Lucinda couldn’t see what everyone else was looking at, but she could take a guess. Her gut told her Lydia must have something on her.

She tried to put on her best hurt puppy face. “Dad, Mom… Blake, Elliot, why are you all looking at me like that? You’re scaring me.”

Usually, that look would work. If she acted scared and sad, they always rushed to comfort her, no matter what she’d done. Surely this time would be the same.
