Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 274
Garrett’s question hit Lucinda like a spotlight at the world’s most awkward talent show. She was so mortified she could practically feel the ground opening up beneath her.
Cameron and Kylie both paused, thinking it over. Wait, that was true. Lydia had been home for a while now, and Lucinda still hadn’t given her big sister a single welcome present.
Lucinda stammered, “It’s just… Grandpa got sick as soon as Lydia came back. I’ve been so worried about him, I haven’t had time to get her anything. Once Grandpa is feeling better, I’ll pick something out for her.”
The way she said it, you’d almost think Grandpa’s illness was Lydia’s fault.
Garrett picked up on that right away. “Lucinda, wasn’t it the soup you made that landed Grandpa in the hospital?”
Lucinda felt like Garrett was aiming directly for her weakest spot. Her face crumpled with hurt. “Garrett, I already know I messed up. I swear I’ll never give Grandpa any more supplements.”
Garrett nodded. “Good. You’re not a doctor, Lucinda. Grandpa’s health isn’t great, so you really can’t just experiment with what he eats.”
“I understand,” Lucinda sniffled, on the verge of tears.
Garrett’s tone softened. “Alright, don’t forget about that. And you don’t have to stress about Lydia’s gift. I was just asking. Besides, our other brothers haven’t even come home yet. No matter what, you’ll still have a chance to beat them to it.”
Lucinda forced a smile. “I know, Garrett.”
Under the table, her hands balled up tight. She was furious. Not only did Garrett not bring her a gift when he got back, now he was pushing her to get something for Lydia? Wasn’t Lydia her sister? Lydia had just come home, so why hadn’t she brought her anything? It was so unfair. Her parents were always playing favorites, and now Garrett was doing it too.
Everyone headed inside to the dining room. Over at the Jefferson family dinner, Grandpa Samuel got so excited he nearly dropped his bowl.
He stared at his phone, his eyes wide, then suddenly burst out laughing. “Would you look at that! I knew that brat had it in him!”
Grandpa Samuel smirked at his screen. “Connor isn’t single anymore.”
Chris could hardly believe it. “He’s only just started dating. And anyway, he’s almost thirty. What’s the big deal?”
Grandpa Samuel just shook his head. “You don’t get it. He and Lydia have been engaged since they were kids. He was off the market by ten. You think you can compete with that?”
Chris felt a headache coming on. Seriously? That counted?
He tried again. “Well… what about Mikey? Why aren’t you giving him a hard time?”
Grandpa Samuel just huffed. “If you boys want to stay single, go ahead. Doesn’t matter to me. I’ve got a granddaughter-in-law now, and that’s all I need.”

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...
