Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 705

Lucinda looked torn. “He just seems so lost. He thought I was his daughter. I think something’s really wrong. You guys wait here, okay? I’ll go talk to him and see what’s up.”

Mia, Evelyn, and Hannah stared at her like she’d lost her mind.

“Lucinda, don’t. He doesn’t seem right. What if he freaks out or something? We should just call the police and let them deal with it.”

“Yeah, seriously, calling the cops is the safest thing.”

“It’s late already, and we still have to shop. If he keeps following us… I’m honestly scared just thinking about it.”

Lucinda couldn’t let them call the cops. That would ruin everything. She shook her head and tried to sound gentle. “I really think he just confused me for his daughter. Let me go talk to him, find out what’s going on. If he does anything, we can call the police then. It’s not too late.”

“But Lucinda, it’s not safe for you to go over there by yourself.”

“It’s fine. I don’t think he’s dangerous. Maybe he just misses his daughter too much. Please, just stay here and wait for me.”

The girls wanted to argue, but Lucinda had already balled her hands into fists and was striding toward Frank.

As soon as he saw her coming, Frank’s face lit up with this huge, hopeful smile. He was sure of it. His real daughter had finally recognized him.

“Sweetheart, it’s me. Dad.”
