Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 282
Lydia shook her head right away. “No, Garrett , really, I don’t need it. I have some cash, and Mom and Dad gave me more than enough. You should keep your money.”
Garrett looked hurt. “Is it not enough? I have another card, if you want. You can have both.”
“That’s not it, Garrett. I promise, I have plenty.”
“What I give you is from me. If you don’t take it, I’ll just think you think it’s not enough.”
Lydia could tell he wouldn’t back down. She sighed and took the card. “Thanks. I’ll keep it then.”
Garrett’s mood did a complete one-eighty. He smiled and reached over to pat her head, gentle as ever. “Good. Get some sleep. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“See you tomorrow.”
Once Garrett was gone, a figure stepped out from the curve of the staircase. Lucinda. Her hands were clenched so tightly that her knuckles went white, jaw locked, her whole face twisted with anger.
This was just too much. Garrett had already brought Lydia a mountain of gifts, and now he’d gone behind everyone’s backs and handed her a card loaded with fifty million? Sure, Garrett got her gifts too, but never that many at once. He’d given her spending money, but the most she’d ever gotten was ten million, sometimes just a few million. Now, without even blinking, he’d handed Lydia fifty million.
So this was the difference. Blood really did matter more.
She stomped her foot, hard enough that the sound echoed, and then winced, realizing how loud it was. She quickly slipped back into her room, trying to be as quiet as possible.
Down in the living room, Kylie glanced up at the stairs, a thoughtful look on her face. She turned to Cameron. “Honey, have you noticed? Lucinda isn’t quite herself lately.”
Kylie still wasn’t convinced. She looked at him seriously. “I think we need to talk to her, just to be sure.”
She thought, if Lucinda really did have those feelings, they needed to help her work through it. Love was supposed to go both ways, and it was clear Connor didn’t feel that way. If he did, he wouldn’t have avoided her all these years. But as soon as Lydia showed up, he was glued to her side, always making it clear he and Lydia were a pair. That was the difference between loving someone and not.
Cameron could see she was right. “Okay. I’ll leave it to you. Talk to her when you get the chance. We can’t let the girls fall out over Connor.”
“Alright,” Kylie agreed.
Meanwhile, upstairs, Lucinda was taking her anger out on her room. Stuffed animals, trinkets, anything in reach went flying to the floor.

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...
