Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 785

Grace stumbled through her update. On the other end, she heard a heavy sigh.

“What are you even good for?” Night Eagle’s voice was rough and brimming with anger.

Grace tensed, rushing to explain. “It’s Lydia. She’s… impossible. She’s got all these weird skills. I can’t keep up with her. Now the whole Norwood family is wrapped around her finger. If they find out Lucinda is fighting with Lydia over the Jefferson marriage, they’ll kick Lucinda out for sure.”

“If she can’t marry someone from the Jefferson family, then what’s the point of having you at all?” Night Eagle snapped.

“That’s why I’m asking for help. If you can just get rid of Lydia, Lucinda will still be the one to marry into the Jeffersons.”

“I’ll handle her. But someone’s been watching us, so I can’t move right now. You need to figure something out. Stall for time. As long as we get what we want in the end, I don’t care how you do it.”

All Night Eagle cared about was seeing his daughter marry someone from the Jefferson family. Anyone in the way was as good as gone.

Grace was terrified he’d lose his temper, so she forced herself to agree. “Okay. I understand.”

After hanging up, she immediately deleted the call log and switched off her phone. Staring at the blank screen, she thought of Lydia’s insane ability to recover lost data. It made no sense. Lydia had grown up in some rural village with the Smiths. How did she get so many tricks up her sleeve? Grace regretted not asking Night Eagle to look deeper into Lydia’s past.

The next morning, everyone got up on time for breakfast. At nine, they were supposed to head over to the Robinsons. It was a big deal, and nobody wanted to be late.

Lydia came down the stairs and spotted Lucinda in an apron, carrying a plate of pancakes into the dining room.
