Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 272
Lydia felt a wave of emotion. She looked at Garrett with a warm smile. “Thank you.”
Garrett gently ruffled her hair. “Come on, I’m your brother.”
Off to the side, Connor noticed the mountain of gifts Garrett had loaded into the trunk for Lydia. Suddenly, his own presents felt embarrassingly small in comparison. He had only given Lydia a starstone bracelet and a pendant. That was it. Really, it was nothing.
Garrett leaned in, dropping his voice so only Lydia could hear. “Is that guy treating you right? If he’s not, we can break off the engagement and find you someone better.”
To be honest, Garrett didn’t mean to be harsh, but Connor had always struck him as cold and distant, not the type who knew how to make a girl happy. In all the years since the engagement, Garrett could count the number of times he’d seen Connor on one hand. And every time, Connor looked stiff and unapproachable, never smiling, barely even acknowledging Lucinda. Garrett and his brothers used to joke that Connor was destined to be a lifelong bachelor. Could someone so emotionally clueless ever make his little sister happy?
Lydia heard Garrett’s question and, almost without thinking, glanced over at Connor. She gave a tiny smile and whispered back, “He’s good to me.”
Garrett raised an eyebrow, not convinced. “He is?”
Lydia nodded. “Really.”
Connor had always been kind to her, even if no one else saw it.
Garrett clicked his tongue in disbelief. “Lydia, don’t get tricked by his looks. If he’s not gentle or thoughtful, you’ll be the one getting hurt.”
“I know, Garrett . But he really is good to me.” Lydia’s eyes were clear and steady.
Garrett blinked, looked at Connor again, and finally let it go. “Alright, but if he ever treats you badly or makes you upset, you have to tell me. I’ll take care of him for you.”
“You’ve had a busy day. How about you eat before heading home?” Lydia suggested.
Garrett just glared at Connor, saying nothing, acting like a jealous older brother.
Connor felt a surge of happiness at Lydia’s invitation. He nodded, not even trying to hide how pleased he was. “Alright. I’ll stay.”
Garrett rolled his eyes. This guy really wasn’t shy at all.
Meanwhile, inside the main house at Riverside Villas, Lucinda was over the moon knowing Garrett was coming home. Out of her four brothers, Garrett had always been the easiest to talk to. He spent the most time at home and always treated her kindly. She’d gotten dressed up early, waiting excitedly for his return and hoping he’d brought her something special.

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...
