Ready to Rule The Real Heiress Strikes Back (Lydia and Connor) novel Chapter 1131
“Miss Norwood, how much would you like for this painting?” Carter hesitated.
Lydia smiled and waved him off, her voice light and clear. “Don’t worry about it. Think of it as a gift for Mr. Shaw. He’s given so much to the country. I’ve always admired him.”
Carter froze. An original painting by Owen was priceless, almost impossible to get, and here she was, just handing it over.
“This is too much. It’s far too generous.”
But Lydia was already slipping into her car. “It’s nothing, really.”
Carter managed a grateful, “Thank you. I’ll make sure Mr. Shaw knows how thoughtful you are.”
Lydia nodded, then simply said, “Take care.”
As her car pulled away and disappeared from sight, Carter climbed into his own car, the painting carefully secured. He stared at it for a second, still in disbelief, then pulled out his phone and called his mom.
He felt uneasy about accepting something so valuable for free. It didn’t sit right with him.
The call connected and instantly Mrs. Shaw’s excited voice came through, “Well, did you meet Owen? Did you get the painting? Isn’t she amazing? So young, so talented, so beautiful!”
Carter suddenly realized what his mom was up to.
“Mom, you planned this, didn’t you?”
Mrs. Shaw feigned innocence. “What are you talking about, darling? Did you get the painting or not? Did you meet Owen?”
Mrs. Shaw wasn’t convinced. “What’s complicated? She’s amazing, and she’s Owen! What are you waiting for? Go after her! I’ll cheer you on.”
Mrs. Shaw knew it wouldn’t be easy to win Lydia over, especially with the Jefferson family in the picture, but it was worth a shot. As far as she knew, Lydia and Connor weren’t officially married. Until that happened, everyone still had a chance, right?
“Let’s talk about this later, Mom. The thing is, Owen gave me the painting for free. She said it was a gift for Grandpa, didn’t even mention a price.”
“What? She just gave it to you?” Mrs. Shaw was stunned. A painting by Owen would go for a fortune at auction.
“Yeah. I don’t feel right about it. Maybe you could transfer the money to her online?”
Mrs. Shaw thought for a moment. “If I send it, she probably won’t accept it. Here’s what you should do. Ask her out for dinner to thank her. When you see her, you can transfer the money then. You two have each other’s contact info, don’t you?”

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...
