Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 1316

Right now Grace’s mind was all on Lucinda. She lowered her voice, trying to sound gentle. “Lucinda, I’m back. I’ll fix Lydia for you, I promise.”

Lucinda’s voice came alive on the other end. “Really, Grace?”

Grace nodded, even though Lucinda couldn’t see her. “Yeah. She’s blind now. As soon as she steps outside the Norwood place, I’ll make sure she ends up right where we want her.”

Lucinda sounded relieved. “Thank you, Grace. Seriously, thank you.”

A cold smile tugged at Grace’s lips. “Just wait till I catch her. I’ll call you, and you can see for yourself how pathetic she looks.”

“Perfect.”

Night settled over the city, thick and endless. Lydia walked slowly down the sidewalk, sunglasses hiding her eyes. Juna stayed close, holding onto her arm. The wind whipped around them, rattling the street trees and making the shadows feel even deeper.

“Lydia, are you sure about this? It’s dangerous,” Juna whispered, worry plain in her voice.

Lydia tilted her head, giving her a small, confident smile. “Relax. This is all part of the plan. Grace won’t kill me, not yet. We’re going to use that. It’s the only way to find out what they’re really after, and where Night Eagle is.”

Grace’s people were already watching the Norwood estate, waiting for the right moment. Lydia had no choice but to play along.
