Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 1114

Lucinda sat on the floor, numb and defeated, her nails digging painfully into her palms. She watched Kylie’s profile, so cold and determined, and the last bit of hope in her heart flickered, barely holding on.

Just some money? Seriously?

Was that all she was worth to them?

She couldn’t accept it. There was no way she would leave the Norwood family. She couldn’t. Without them, how would she even survive in the Capital? Money meant nothing in those social circles. Unless they were planning to give her everything the Norwood family owned, she would be left with nothing. That, of course, was never going to happen.

Suddenly, she pushed herself up, stumbling over to Lydia. She dropped to her knees in front of her, tears streaming down her face. “Lydia, please. I know I messed up. I really do… I’m begging you, just talk to Mom for me. She wants me gone, but I don’t want to leave. I don’t want to leave this family. Please, I really don’t…”

Lydia looked down, her eyes cold and unreadable. “You’ve made the same mistakes again and again. I gave you chances. So did Mom and Dad. You never appreciated any of them.”

If Lydia ever brought up everything Lucinda had done with Grace, Lucinda would have been out of this house a long time ago.

Lucinda shook her head desperately. “I’ll change, I swear. I’ll never speak to Grace again, I’ll never let her talk me into hurting you. I promise, Lydia, I’ll do anything, I swear on my life.”

While Lucinda was crying and pleading, Mr. Norwood was being wheeled into the room by one of the housekeepers.
