Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 1128

Lydia arched an eyebrow. “Oh? And what secret do you have for me?”

Frank let out a cold laugh. “Do you think I’m an idiot? I’m stuck in here, completely powerless. If I tell you and you don’t pay, then what?”

“How much do you want?” Lydia asked, her tone cool and steady.

Frank hesitated, then held up a single finger.

Lydia smirked. “One million?”

He snorted. “One hundred million.”

She didn’t even blink. “Keep dreaming.”

Lydia got up and started toward the door.

Frank was stunned. He’d thought that since Lydia was the founder of LYLX and the real Norwood family heiress, a hundred million was nothing to her. He never imagined she’d be this stingy.

He called after her quickly. “Fine then, fifty million!”

Lydia didn’t even slow down.

Frank’s anxiety spiked. It wasn’t every day you got the chance to trade a little information for that kind of money. Besides, with Lydia’s skills, she’d probably uncover the truth sooner or later anyway.

He tried to bargain. “Alright, then how much will you offer?”

Lydia finally stopped, turned around, and looked him over. “Final price. Twenty million. And only if what you tell me is actually useful.”

Frank’s face twisted with frustration. Twenty million? That was way lower than what he wanted.

She went on, her voice casual. “Lucinda is your biological daughter, right? You’ve bent over backward to protect her, but has she ever handed you twenty million?”

Frank flushed with embarrassment. Lydia had a point. Lucinda had never given him anything close to that.

Now he had twenty million right in front of him. He’d be a fool to say no.

He clenched his teeth and after a long moment, nodded. “Fine. Twenty million.”
