Ready to Rule The Real Heiress Strikes Back (Lydia and Connor) novel Chapter 205
Lydia knew exactly what Lucinda was up to. Her voice was cool and crisp as she shot her down. “I’ve got it.”
Lucinda clenched her fists under the table but didn’t give up. “You just got back, and you’re not familiar with the Capital. The Jefferson place is pretty far from the hospital, and the traffic can get crazy. I know a shortcut that’ll save you time. Let me come with you, please?”
By the end, Lucinda’s voice had softened, almost like she was begging.
Lydia paused, looking up to meet Lucinda’s hopeful eyes.
Lucinda thought she was winning her over, so she smiled even sweeter. “Please, Lydia? Would that be okay?”
“No. Connor’s coming to get me.”
The words hit Lucinda like a punch to the gut.
What?
Did she hear that right?
Connor was coming to pick Lydia up himself?
He was always so busy. Why would he make time for her?
Lucinda was too shocked and hurt to say anything. Across the table, Cameron and Kylie’s faces lit up in surprise and excitement.
“Lydia, Connor said he’s coming to get you himself?” Cameron asked.
“Yeah,” Lydia replied simply.
Cameron jumped up right away. “I’ll get some gifts ready for you to take with you. Just a little something from our family.”
Lydia shook her head. “Don’t worry about it. I’ll stop and pick something up myself.”
Lucinda forced a smile. “I think Lydia doesn’t want me to go. I’ll just stay at home.”
Lydia didn’t bother saying anything more. Getting into it with Lucinda over stuff like this would only waste her time and lower her IQ.
Kylie could feel the tension between the two sisters.
She glanced over at Lydia, who was quietly eating, and spoke gently. “By the way, Lydia, last night after your dad and I got home from the hospital, we asked Lucinda about what Rose said, about you being our goddaughter. Lucinda said she never said anything like that. Rose and Parker must have got the wrong idea. You left for work so early this morning, we didn’t get a chance to tell you.”
Lydia looked up, meeting Lucinda’s gaze from across the table.
Lucinda looked completely innocent. “They were just trying to stir up trouble in our family. I swear, I never said anything like that. Please believe me.”
The truth was, Lydia had already seen the footage from the security cameras at Riverside Villas the day before, when Parker and Rose visited.

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...
