Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 285
Weren’t they the ones who started comparing in the first place? If they really treated her and Lydia the same, wouldn’t they have given her exactly what they gave Lydia?
Lucinda kept all this to herself. She knew everyone had already chosen sides. What was the point of speaking up? It would only make her seem petty and overly sensitive.
“I understand. I’ll be more mindful from now on.”
Garrett gave her shoulder a gentle pat and spoke with warmth. “Lucinda, you’ve always been thoughtful and kind. I know you won’t let me down.”
On the other side of town, Connor pulled up to the Jefferson house.
Mr. Jefferson had been anxiously waiting for him all night. As soon as Connor walked in, he called out, “What took you so long? Did you have dinner yet?” He was fishing, just so he could know if Connor had stayed for dinner at the Norwoods.
Connor shot him a look as he headed into the living room. “You already know, don’t you?”
Mr. Jefferson had no idea that Aiden’s secret photo had found its way onto Connor’s phone. He put on an innocent act. “Know what? If I knew, why would I ask?”
Connor didn’t bother with small talk. He held up his phone and showed him the photo.
Mr. Jefferson froze, his mouth falling open in surprise. What was happening? Had that rascal Aiden been caught? How else would Connor have that photo?
He stammered, “This… this picture, who took it? It’s beautiful. Look at our Lydia, she’s stunning, isn’t she?”
Connor just stared at him, unimpressed.
“Come on, Grandpa, drop the act. Aiden sent you this picture. I just want to know, who did you send it to?” Connor’s tone was calm, but he wasn’t letting it go.
Mr. Jefferson looked embarrassed, his face turning red. “I… I only sent it to Carson. I didn’t show anyone else, I swear.” He started to realize something strange was going on as Connor kept staring at him.
Aiden went quiet for a second. He was just trying to be careful.
“Tomorrow night, eight o’clock. Don’t be late.”
“Yes, Boss.”
Meanwhile, Lydia had just finished replying to Chris’ message when her phone rang again. It was Juna.
“Lyds, they’ve confirmed the meeting. Tomorrow night, eight o’clock, Royal Court Hotel.”
“Got it,” Lydia said.
Juna let out a slow breath. “Lyds, you know who the client is, don’t you? That’s why you didn’t ask for a deposit. This isn’t like you at all.”

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...
