Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 1322

Snowflakes started to fall outside, soft and silent, turning the world into a winter wonderland. But inside the Norwood family’s celebration, the energy was electric. The red carpet stretched from the entrance of the Royal Court Hotel all the way to the ballroom. Luxury cars kept pulling up, one after another, dropping off the city’s most important people. Nearly everyone in the Capital who mattered had been invited. The place buzzed with curiosity, little clusters of guests whispering to each other as they watched the scene unfold.

The ballroom was lit up by sparkling crystal chandeliers, making everything look bright and almost magical. Long tables were covered with beautiful food, and everywhere you looked, people were talking in small groups, catching up and trading gossip.

“Did you hear? The Norwoods are finally acknowledging their real daughter. Turns out Lucinda wasn’t actually their child. It’s Lydia, the girl who aced all her exams,” someone whispered.

“I know, right? I heard Lucinda made her life miserable. Now she’s sitting in a jail cell. Serves her right,” another guest replied.

“And get this, Connor Jefferson is apparently head over heels for Lydia. Word is, he’s planning something huge tonight.”

People couldn’t help but glance around, searching for Lydia. She stood out in the crowd in a long white dress with embroidered roses and a pair of simple silver heels. She was standing between Kylie and Cameron, her parents, with a gentle smile on her face, even though she couldn’t see what was happening around her.

Kylie squeezed Lydia’s hand, her eyes shining with pride and love. “Sweetheart, today we finally get to introduce you to everyone, just the way you deserve.”

They had waited for this day for so long. Finally, they could let the world know that Lydia was their real daughter, the only true Norwood heiress.
