Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 1046

Lucinda’s face changed in a flash. Her hands tightened into fists under the table. Seriously, Lydia, just say no already!

Lydia caught the tension on Lucinda’s face and smiled, her tone full of hidden meaning. “Tomorrow is Carson’s birthday, and I really don’t want to steal his thunder. There will be plenty of chances next time.”

Lucinda’s heart, which had been pounding, dropped back to normal. She let out a shaky breath.

“You’re right, Lydia. We’ll just throw a party for you another day, something really special.”

“Yeah, that sounds even better,”

Lydia never actually answered whether she could play Go. She just said, “Anyway, tomorrow I’ll show up with a friend.”

Kylie and Cameron both looked a little disappointed, but since Lydia had made up her mind, they respected it and didn’t say more.

Lucinda finally felt like she could relax for once. Still, she couldn’t shake the feeling that Lydia was messing with her on purpose, just to watch her squirm. What a bitch! She couldn’t wait until Grace found a chance to put Lydia in her place. Then she’d see how long Lydia could keep up this act.

Over dinner, Lydia’s phone kept buzzing non-stop. She kept glancing down at her screen, fingers flying as she replied, a faint, secretive smile on her lips. It was enough to make Lucinda’s eyes ache. She just knew Lydia was chatting with Connor, showing off on purpose.

Kylie seemed to think so too. “Lydia, do you know when Connor’s coming back?”

Lydia glanced up. “He didn’t say. Maybe in a few days.”

“Well, he’s always busy.”

“He is,” Lydia said softly.

After dinner, Lydia headed upstairs and opened up her group chat. The group was already blowing up.
