Ready to Rule The Real Heiress Strikes Back (Lydia and Connor) novel Chapter 1228
When Connor heard Lydia was changing her flight, his smile disappeared. His brows pulled together. “Why are you changing your flight all of a sudden?”
Lydia calmly folded a shirt. “I have to go to Nina’s birthday dinner tonight.”
“Nina?” Connor looked confused. “Since when are you and Nina so close?”
Lydia glanced up, meeting his annoyed stare through the screen. She let out a small laugh. “I have something I need to do.”
Connor drummed his fingers on the desk, his tone turning sharp. “Something more important than our date?”
They had promised each other a romantic trip in Country D. Now it was falling apart again. Of course Connor was upset. He hadn’t seen his fiancée in ages.
Lydia paused her packing, a smile tugging at her lips. “Are you jealous?”
Connor scoffed. “Yeah.”
Lydia laughed quietly and kept packing. “Nina’s a girl, not a guy. If you want to be jealous of another girl, be my guest.”
Earlier, Lydia had been turned to the side, busy with her suitcase, so Connor hadn’t gotten a good look at her. Now she was facing the screen, and he immediately noticed how pale she looked. His heart tightened. “Why do you look so tired today?”
Her health was his biggest worry. But Lydia never took it easy.
She waved him off. “It’s nothing. Probably just didn’t sleep well last night.”
Connor didn’t buy it for a second. He was sure the poison in her system was acting up again, but she refused to say a word. Thankfully, Garrett had made real progress with the antidote. He promised they’d have results in just a few days.
“Okay. Just take care of yourself. When you get to Country D, I’ll come pick you up.”
Lydia nodded. “Alright.”
“Lydia.”
Nina spotted her and made her way over, champagne glass in hand and Carter, looking sharp in a suit, right behind her. Nina wore a burgundy fishtail dress, a diamond necklace sparkling at her neck.
Lydia pulled out the gift she’d brought and handed it over. “Happy birthday.”
Nina smiled, her lips twitching. “Thank you.”
She looked beautiful and her makeup was perfect, but up close, Lydia could see red veins in her eyes. It was obvious she hadn’t been sleeping well.
Seeing Nina like this, Lydia knew she’d made the right call by coming tonight. If she’d gone abroad without checking in, Nina probably wouldn’t have slept at all.
Lydia’s instincts were dead on. When Carter told Nina about Lydia’s plans for the evening, Nina finally looked like she could breathe easy.

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...
