Ready to Rule The Real Heiress Strikes Back (Lydia and Connor) novel Chapter 1276
Lucinda turned her face away, clearly irritated. “I told you, I don’t need your help.” It was humiliating enough that Caspian had seen her like this, all messed up and vulnerable. But he just stood there, refusing to back off.
“Lucinda, I’m not trying to bother you,” he said, his voice gentle. “I just think you should put something on your face. It’ll help with the swelling.”
No one wanted to walk around with a slap mark, especially not a proud girl like Lucinda
She hesitated, torn between pride and the sting on her cheek.
“There’s a pharmacy nearby,” Caspian continued. “Wait in the car. I’ll go get some ointment.” Then he turned and took off down the sidewalk.
Lucinda watched his retreating figure, frowning a little. Why was it always like this? Why did the people she least wanted to see show up when she was at her lowest, when she needed someone most?
She got back into her car. Her hand hovered over the ignition for a second, but she didn’t start the engine. Maybe, just for now, she craved a little kindness.
A bitter smile tugged at her lips. A year ago, she never would have guessed that after her glamorous eighteenth birthday, she’d end up so alone, so overlooked. And it was all because of Lydia. Just thinking about her made Lucinda’s eyes darken. She wasn’t the only one who wanted Lydia gone. This time Lydia lost her eyesight. Next time, who knew… maybe she’d lose her life.
Caspian came running back, a little out of breath. Relief flashed across his face when he saw her car still there. He must have been worried she’d leave.
“Lucinda, I got it,” he said, holding out the ointment and trying to catch his breath.
As she pulled up and got out, she worried Cameron or Kylie might notice her injury. She kept her head down as she walked toward the door, but before she could even step inside, she heard Kylie’s anxious voice floating from the hallway.
“What is going on with Garrett? I haven’t been able to reach him for days. Lydia and Connor are back, but where did he disappear to?”
Cameron’s voice was calm. “Lydia said he’s probably working on another experiment. You know how he gets. Once he’s focused, he vanishes for a while.”
“But he always tells us first,” Kylie replied, sounding even more worried. “He never just goes off without a word. How am I supposed to stay calm?”
Lucinda listened from the entryway, her heart twisting with bitterness. She’d been mugged, nearly killed, and not one of them had even bothered to check if she was okay.

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...
