Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 10
“Lydia, you’re way too skinny. You really need to eat something good for you.”
Lydia didn’t want any of it. She felt fine. She didn’t need all these soups.
Kylie saw the look on her face and her eyes turned red, voice trembling a little. “You’ve been out there for eighteen years. You’re so thin, a breeze could knock you over. If you don’t take care of yourself, I... I...”
Kylie’s eyes filled with tears, and Lydia sighed, picking up one of the bowls. “Alright. Alright.”
With Kylie watching her closely, Lydia obediently finished both bowls of soup. Only then did Kylie finally leave the room with the maids. Right before the door closed, Kylie shot her a secretive smile. “Lydia, get some sleep. I have a surprise for you in the morning.”
Lydia blinked in confusion.
Once the door shut, Lydia couldn’t help but smile a little. So this was what it felt like to actually be cared for by your parents.
She was exhausted after such a long day. She headed into the closet, picked out some pajamas, and as she changed, she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror. She froze.
Where was her pendant?
Her hand flew to her neck. It was empty. She started searching the room, checking everywhere, but she couldn’t find it. Lydia stopped and tried to remember. Back on the mountain, that man had grabbed her, and she thought he might have snagged her necklace.
Did it fall off up there?
Seriously?
Connor looked pale, but his dark eyes were full of indifference. “I’m not the only guy in the Jefferson family. Ask someone else to see her. Besides, I’m not interested in Lucinda.”
A good-looking young man on the other side of the bed widened his eyes and started waving his hands frantically. “Not me, Grandpa! I’m only twenty-two. I just graduated college. I’m way too young for marriage. If you want great-grandkids so badly, Connor’s your best bet!”
The minute Chris finished, Connor shot him a glare that could kill. Chris flinched, scratched his head, and grumbled, “Or Mikey could do it. It really doesn’t have to be me.”
On the other side of the bed stood a refined-looking man in a suit and clear glasses. He just smiled. “I’m drowning in work and don’t have time for romance. But Connor is retired from the military and has plenty of spare time now.”
Mikey didn’t bother saying anything else. It was obvious. If there was going to be a arranged marriage with the Norwood family, Connor was the one who had to do it.

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...
