Ready to Rule The Real Heiress Strikes Back (Lydia and Connor) novel Chapter 1231
Nina blushed, her cheeks turning pink. “Let’s talk about that when I get back after graduation.” She paused, then added, “You two should get some rest. I’m heading to my room.”
As soon as Nina left and closed the door, Mrs. Powell leaned back against the headboard, finally looking relaxed. “She’s out of the way at last. When she’s home, I feel like I’m walking on eggshells every day.”
Mr. Powell eyed her with a sly grin. “Hard to keep sleeping in separate rooms with her around. Maybe tonight, I’ll stay.”
Mrs. Powell shot him a cold look. “Get lost. Go find one of your little mistresses, just don’t even think about touching my bed.”
Mr. Powell’s face turned icy. “You act like you’re so innocent. Don’t think I haven’t noticed you running around with all your young guys.”
“Oh, so you’re allowed to cheat, but I’m not? How does that make sense?”
“I never said you couldn’t. But we’re still married. Can’t even share a bed? What would people think if they heard about this?”
She scoffed. “You, in my bed? Keep dreaming. You don’t deserve it.”
Their argument got louder, both of them nearly at each other’s throats.
Mr. Powell took a long breath. “Enough. No more fighting. You take the bed. I’ll sleep on the sofa, alright?”
He grabbed a blanket and headed for the couch.
Mrs. Powell huffed. “Now you’re talking. You’re just a fake anyway. You think you deserve to sleep with me? Maybe in your next life.”
Fuming, Mr. Powell flopped onto the sofa, clutching his blanket, his thoughts bitter. As if you’re not a fake yourself.
Deep in the night, three shadows slipped over the east wall of the Powell estate, moving like cats into the courtyard. Lydia led the way, with Juna and Carter right behind her.
Nina’s voice came through on a message. “They’re in the third room from the left on the second floor. I’ll wait for you at the door.”
The three of them dodged the night guards and made it to the main entrance. Nina opened the door quietly.
“Lydia,” she whispered.
Lydia nodded. “Let’s get upstairs.”
Nina looked at Lydia, apologetic. “Sorry you have to catch such a late flight because of all this.”
Lydia gave her a reassuring smile. “It’s really fine. Don’t stress too much.”
Anyone could see Nina was exhausted from all the pressure lately. She just nodded. “Yeah.”
Once they left the Powell estate, Juna drove Lydia to the airport. She was reluctant to say goodbye. “Come back soon, Lydia.”
Lydia pulled her in for a quick hug. “See you when I get back.”
Juna watched Lydia walk away, feeling a strange sense of unease she couldn’t shake.
Right after Lydia cleared security, her phone buzzed with a video call from Connor.
“You haven’t boarded yet?”
Lydia smiled, her lips curving up. “Just about to. See you in ten hours.”

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...
