Ready to Rule The Real Heiress Strikes Back (Lydia and Connor) novel Chapter 174
Connor let out a low laugh. “I could always hand things off to Aiden or someone else, you know.”
“Tomorrow’s not going to work. I’m swamped.” Lydia’s voice was apologetic but firm.
Honestly, she was going to be busy for the next few days, throwing herself into fixing up the company, hiring new people, and getting everything running smoothly again.
Connor thought it over, then nodded. “Alright. If you need anything, just ask.”
“Okay.”
They pulled up outside Riverside Villas. Lydia parked in front of the building and didn’t make any move to invite Connor in.
It was already late. Not exactly the right time for guests.
Aiden pulled up behind them, stepping on the gas just enough to catch up, and let out a sigh of relief. Thank goodness Connor didn’t have to wait.
“Get home safe,” Lydia said, her tone gentle.
The idea of not seeing her tomorrow as she’d be buried in work for the next few days, left Connor with a hollow feeling.
“Don’t overdo it,” he said softly. He reached for her hand, tracing his thumb over her fingers, and before she could react, he leaned down to press a light kiss to her knuckles.
Aiden nearly covered his eyes.
Oh my god.
Was he supposed to see that?
Lydia froze. His lips were soft, and the moment lingered just a second too long.
Connor straightened, a satisfied little smile on his face. He reached up and ruffled her hair like it was the most natural thing in the world. “Go on inside.”
Lydia’s cheeks burned. She was grateful the lights weren’t too bright—otherwise he’d definitely have noticed.
“Alright.” She nodded, slipped into her car, and drove through the gates.
Connor stood there for a moment, watching until her car vanished into the garage, then turned and got into his own car.
Aiden pretended he hadn’t seen anything. As he started the engine, Connor’s voice came from the back seat, low and steady. “Spread the word. If Miracle Hands is willing to show up, I’ll pay ten billion.”
Aiden stared, caught off guard. Was he finally coming to his senses?
He was actually going to find Miracle Hands for treatment?
Mr. Jefferson had spent years searching in secret, but Miracle Hands was a legend. Hardly anyone had ever seen them. People from all over the world, billionaires, politicians, even royalty, had tried and failed.
How could they be so unfair?
Her parents actually doubted her? They questioned her just to make their precious biological daughter feel better?
What did that make her, then?
She couldn’t stand it.
From her window, she could hear the faint sound of a car engine. The main building wasn’t far from the gate.
Was Lydia back?
She jumped out of bed, ran to the window, and peered through the curtains. She could just make out a car parked at the entrance. She recognized it right away—it was one of the luxury cars her parents had given Lydia.
She huffed. Lydia came back, and everything that was supposed to be hers got taken away.
Then her eyes went wide.
Wait a second.
Was that… Connor?

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...
