Ready to Rule The Real Heiress Strikes Back (Lydia and Connor) novel Chapter 1208
Carter had no clue what his mom was thinking. He barely had time to process before jumping in his car and heading to the address Lydia had sent him. She’d told him exactly which private room to go to. After what happened last time, he figured Lydia wanted to avoid any awkward misunderstandings, so she picked somewhere discreet.
He never expected Nina to be there. The moment he opened the door and saw her, he was shocked. This was supposed to be a meeting about the cloning situation, still super hush-hush. Was it okay to discuss this with Nina around? It wasn’t that he didn’t trust her, but the whole project was need-to-know, and right now, hardly anyone knew.
Then a new worry crept in. Was something going on with the Powell family too?
Nina watched Carter walk in, half expecting him to be happy to see her. Instead, he just stared, looking genuinely shocked. She frowned, annoyed. “Do I really look that scary? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”
Carter snapped out of it, forcing a smile. “No, not at all. I just… wasn’t expecting to see you here.”
Nina scoffed. “What’s wrong? Afraid I’ll ruin your secret meeting with Lydia? Or are you worried I’ll be the third wheel?”
She was mostly teasing. Lydia had already explained that she and Carter were just colleagues, and Nina believed her.
Carter shook his head quickly. “Don’t be silly. Lydia and I are just here to talk about work.”
Nina seemed satisfied with that answer and turned to Lydia. “Alright, he’s here. Can you finally tell me how I’m supposed to help you two?”
Honestly, Nina was just as confused as anyone. She couldn’t figure out how she could possibly help them. Was it a money thing? Did they need a loan from her family’s bank? But with Lydia and Carter’s backgrounds, that didn’t seem right. Plus, she didn’t really have any say over the bank anyway.
Before she could dwell on it, Lydia looked at her seriously. “Since you’ve been back, or even just recently, have you noticed anything strange about your parents?”
She paused, thinking. “Oh, and they’ve started sleeping in separate rooms. I tried to talk to them about it, but they just told me to stay out of it.”
The more she talked, the more uneasy she felt. She turned to Lydia, looking for answers. “Is that a big deal?”
Before Lydia could say anything, Carter jumped in. “It’s a really big deal.”
Nina nearly jumped at his tone and looked at him, eyes wide. “Why? Is something wrong with my family?”
She couldn’t help worrying that maybe there was trouble at the family bank. The whole thing felt too complicated, and Carter wasn’t sure how to even begin explaining. Besides, they were still in a restaurant. Even if it was a private room, someone could always be listening. If the wrong person overheard, things could get messy fast.

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...
