Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 276
That photo really did turn out great.
Connor grinned to himself as he saved it on his phone.
Across the table, Lucinda caught the little exchange and felt her anger bubbling up. She could barely keep it together.
Garrett, noticing how well Connor and his sister were getting along, suddenly felt a little left out. He jumped in, eager to share. “Mom, Dad, you have no idea how awesome Lydia was today. She grabbed a half-empty water bottle, and in one quick move, she nailed the suspect right in the head. Knocked him flat. It was honestly the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.”
Listening to Garrett’s proud recap, Cameron and Kylie turned to Lydia, eyes wide with surprise. “Lydia, that’s incredible. Seriously, how did you even pull that off?”
Lydia just laughed, a little embarrassed. “It all happened so fast. I figured I’d give it a try, and somehow it worked. Honestly, I borrowed Garrett’s water bottle for it.”
Garrett nodded, getting excited all over again. “That’s true. I was standing right next to her. Who would’ve thought she’s our little princess that just came back home?”
Lucinda flinched at the words “little princess.” She tightened her grip on her fork. Before Lydia showed up, she was the only one who ever got called that. And Lydia? She was just a country girl. How could anyone think she was a princess?
Okay so she caught some suspect, but it was just pure luck. What was so impressive about that? She didn’t act like a proper heiress at all. Lucinda just didn’t get what her parents or Garrett saw in her. Grandpa was right. Lydia really needed some lessons in etiquette, or one day she’d embarrass the Norwood family in front of everyone.
Lydia glanced up, her voice soft. “Yeah, it was pretty unexpected.”
Garrett looked at her, genuinely curious. “Lydia, can I ask you something? Back in the OR, when you insisted we avoid a craniotomy, how confident were you that you’d actually find that ruptured vessel?”
To be honest, Garrett hadn’t dared to take that risk himself. If the patient’s situation wasn’t so urgent, and if he’d had all the time in the world, maybe he could have found it too. But he couldn’t have gambled like that. He just wasn’t sure enough.
Garrett felt a whole new level of admiration for her. He hadn’t realized how much she thought things through.
“Lydia, you’re amazing. I could learn a lot from you.”
Lydia just smiled. “You are great too. We all learn from each other.”
Garrett could tell she was being modest, which just made him like her even more. He grinned. “Alright then.”
Meanwhile, Lucinda watched them, her jealousy growing with every word.

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...
