Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 1309

Lucinda could tell Grace was upset and tried to smooth things over. “It was just a letter. It fell in the water and I couldn’t get it back. You wrote it, right? Just tell me what it said.”

Grace felt drained, her energy slipping away. “What about the phone and the black card? You have them with you, don’t you?”

Lucinda nodded. “Yeah, I’ve got them. Grace, that phone… I looked through it. How could you get involved in all that? Seriously, you can’t keep doing this. It’s way too dangerous. I don’t even dare turn the phone on anymore.”

Grace didn’t even know where to start explaining. The truth was, she really needed that phone now. And the money.

She took a slow breath and said, “Lucinda, can we meet tonight? Bring the phone, and transfer a hundred million from the black card to me. I need it, it’s urgent.”

Grace had just broken out of prison, and the people who helped her escape said things were tense, with police everywhere. They needed cash to keep moving. She also had to get in touch with Night Eagle fast. All of this needed serious money and the right people.

Lucinda sounded nervous. “I locked the phone in the Norwood family’s safe. I have to wait until I go home for the weekend tomorrow.”

Grace let out a frustrated sigh. “Alright, we’ll deal with the phone when you get home. But I need money now. Just transfer me a hundred million first.”

Lucinda hesitated again.

Grace thought maybe she was just being cautious. “Lucinda, I really need it. I swear I’ll pay you back double once this is over.”

Everything she owned was Lucinda’s anyway. And Night Eagle only ever had one daughter. In the end, all of his assets would go to Lucinda. Even if she wasn’t the Norwood family’s daughter, she’d still have everything. It was just that Lydia had barged in out of nowhere, and the Jefferson family had messed everything up. Otherwise, their plan would have worked a long time ago.

Lucinda paused, then finally said, a little embarrassed, “Grace, maybe I can give you thirty million first? That’s… all I have right now.”
