Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 360

Damien only realized he might have messed up when he saw how angry Connor was.

“Lydia, they said they were from Lydora. They came to buy Vision Rejuvenation Grass. I told them we didn’t have it, but they tried to force their way in, so...”

Connor just stared at him, stunned.

Lydora?

He wasn’t sure if Lydia was in that helicopter, but he’d tracked them all the way here. Without hesitating, he walked straight toward the helicopter, which was now full of bullet holes.

Damien called out without thinking, “It’s dangerous!”

There was a seriously skilled shooter in there, someone who had managed to wound him even with bullets flying everywhere. Damien didn’t realize that if Connor hadn’t spoken up at just the right moment, he would already be lying there dead.

“Lydia?”

Connor didn’t even blink at the guns pointed his way by Potato and the others. He stood tall in front of the battered chopper.

Potato and his crew were lost.

What was going on? Why was this cool, handsome guy calling their Lydia?

“Lydia?”

Lydia knew she couldn’t keep hiding. She stepped into view, calm and collected. As soon as Connor saw her, he was shocked all over again. He’d suspected she might be here, but seeing her in person was something else.

Lydia... and Lydora? They were connected?

“You’re the owner of Mount Gemspire?”

When Lydia had heard Connor’s voice earlier, she’d already guessed that the mysterious person who bought Mount Gemspire three years ago must have been him.

Damien was floored. So... their Lydia knew this girl? He’d nearly hurt one of their own?

Connor took another step forward, the energy around him impossible to ignore.

Potato panicked. “Lydia! Lydia, he’s coming over, Lydia!”

Lydia just rolled her eyes and said, “He’s with us.”

“Lydia, you’re so good to me. How am I supposed to repay you?”

Connor’s feelings were all over the place. How could he not fall for her, after everything she’d done?

But Lydia, in her usual style, just killed the mood. “I took your order. It’s my job to see it through, right?”

Connor looked like someone had just thrown cold water on him, but he didn’t let it get to him for long. “I don’t care. I’m just going to believe you did all this because you love me.”

Lydia didn’t even argue.

Potato, Sweet Potato, and the rest just watched the two of them flirting in front of everyone, eyes wide. Was this real?

Were they hearing things? Seeing things? Was this a dream? Was Lydia really in a relationship?

If Lydia’s team was shocked, Damien’s group was even more blown away. Connor was famous for being cold and impossible to get close to, especially when it came to women. Ruthless and untouchable, that was his reputation.

And now, right in front of them, he was acting like this with Lydia. It was almost unbelievable.
