Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 217
Lucinda glanced at her friend’s message and lifted her chin, a smug little smile on her lips. She typed back with a shy emoji. [Louise, it’s really nothing. Connor and I just stopped by to visit Grandpa Samuel today. Don’t read too much into it.]
Louise replied right away. [Oh, come on. You and Connor have been hanging out nonstop lately. Are you sure you’re not about to get engaged? When are you going to invite us to celebrate?]
Lucinda rolled her eyes and replied, [Louise, quit teasing me. I haven’t even finished college yet.]
Louise sent another message. [Alright, alright, princess. But don’t say I didn’t warn you. Connor is the kind you want to make yours fast before someone else gets any ideas.]
Reading that, Lucinda gritted her teeth.
She wasn’t wrong.
Lydia was the perfect example of that.
Grandpa Samuel had told her to pick whoever she wanted, but Lydia just had to choose Connor, like she was determined to snatch away anything Lucinda wanted.
Why couldn’t Lydia have picked Mikey or Chris instead?
What made it even worse was that her parents were just letting Lydia steal her fiancé, like it was no big deal. It made her want to scream.
Meanwhile, Connor drove Lydia back to Riverside Villas so they could drop off the flowers and everything else they’d brought.
As soon as Lydia walked in carrying a huge vase of bright, beautiful water lilies, the house staff gathered around, gushing over them.
“Miss, these water lilies are stunning.”
“They smell amazing. Did Mr. Jefferson give them to you?”
Connor came in behind her, his arms full of snacks.
Lydia smiled and nodded. “They’re from Grandpa Samuel.”
Everyone gasped.
Upstairs, Lydia placed the water lilies on her desk, mixing up a batch of plant food and adding it to the water. That should keep the flowers fresh for at least a week, maybe even ten days.
As soon as Lydia and Connor left for the hospital, Lucinda came storming back into the house.
Grace noticed her walking in with just one bag of snacks and looked worried.
Lucinda’s face was set in a scowl as she marched straight upstairs. Grace hurried after her.
Once they were in her room, Lucinda tossed the bag across the floor and swept everything off her desk in one angry motion. “Lydia just has to take everything from me!” she snapped.
Grace immediately rushed over. “Lucinda, quiet down. Someone might hear you.”
Lucinda’s vision went blurry with anger. Before Lydia came back, she’d been in charge of this whole house. She could do whatever she wanted, whenever she wanted, and never had to care who might be listening.
But now… now even getting mad had to be done in secret.

thank u!...
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...
