Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 1
Fat raindrops splashed against Lydia Smith’s skin, a little sharp but cool and refreshing. She glanced up at the sky, now heavy with storm clouds and streaks of lightning, then lowered her head and kept explaining to her viewers. “This one’s Burdock Root, a root that helps clear heat, cool the blood, and nourish the body. We usually harvest it in autumn. It’s only July right now, so it’s not ready yet.”
She aimed her camera at a purple-red flower blooming in the tall grass. The video was clear, her voice light and lively. Up in the corner, the viewer count was already over two hundred thousand.
Comments were flying in nonstop.
[I love Chief Lydia so much. I even went to her city for treatment, and she actually cured my tendonitis.]
[Me too! Her herbal medicine is amazing. I felt better after just a few doses.]
[Is it raining over there, Lydia? It looks like a downpour. Quick, take cover.]
Lydia agreed. The rain was coming down harder now, and she had already picked all the herbs she needed. She started walking toward the thick shade of a nearby tree, saying, “It’s really coming down here. That’s it for today. I’ll stream again another—”
Before she could finish, her foot caught on something, and she crashed to the ground.
Grass filled her mouth and nose. She spat and muttered a curse, frowning as she pushed herself up. Her fall had already ended the livestream. Setting her phone aside, she caught her breath and turned to see what had tripped her up.
She expected a branch or a root. Instead, she found a man.
He was lying in the thick grass, dressed in a black suit. With the sky so dark and the rain pouring, he almost blended right in.
Lydia didn’t even look up. “Stay still if you want to live.”
Connor felt like his left leg didn’t belong to him anymore. He couldn’t move it at all. His vision was hazy, his mind swimming, but he could feel someone working on his leg. It hurt, but he could handle it.
About fifteen minutes later, Lydia had wrapped up the wound and given him a shot of antivenom. He was out of immediate danger.
“I’ve treated the bite. Call your family,” she said, her voice brisk. She didn’t bother asking what he was doing alone in the woods. That wasn’t her problem.
Connor Jefferson’s forehead was slick with cold sweat, but the rain had drenched him so thoroughly it was impossible to tell sweat from rain anymore.

Olha a história bem boa só algumas coisas são chatas ( nesse tipo de história sempre troca as filhas pela a da empregada ou então pegam uma menina pra criar) pelo menos eles tratam a filha bem só enche o saco que até agora a Lucinda tá lá enchendo ! Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
