Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 545

Back then, whenever the staff talked about Connor, they couldn’t stop going on about how he and Lucinda were meant for each other. Now that Lydia, the real heiress, had come back, suddenly everyone was tripping over themselves to get on her good side.

Shameless, honestly.

The second Grace spoke up, the room went dead quiet. No one dared to argue with her. Lucinda was still officially a Norwood, and Grace was not someone they wanted to mess with.

But Tina, Lydia’s maid, wasn’t scared at all.

“The engagement between Connor and Lydia was set before Lydia was even born. Mrs. Norwood made the arrangement when she was still pregnant. Lydia just got mixed up and taken by someone else. Now, after everything, things are finally the way they should be.”

Grace glared, refusing to back down. “I said if. If Lydia hadn’t been found, then Connor would be with Lucinda. What if Lydia had come back after Lucinda and Connor were already married? Would you expect them to get divorced for Lydia’s sake?”

Tina let out a sigh. “That’s exactly why it’s fate. Everything happened for a reason. What isn’t meant for you will never be yours. Lucinda got to live eighteen years in luxury with the Norwoods, and now, she’s still allowed to stay. The whole family agreed to it. That kind of luck doesn’t come to just anyone. So, Grace, maybe you should try being grateful for once.”

Grace was so mad she nearly exploded. She jabbed a finger at Tina. “Tina, who do you think you are, lecturing me? Did you forget who taught you everything in this house?”

Tina kept her voice steady. “Of course I remember, Grace. You taught me everything. That’s why I’m reminding you now. If Mr. or Mrs. Norwood, or Lydia, heard what you just said, how do you think they’d feel? Are you really suggesting they break up Connor and Lydia for Lucinda?”
