Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 374
Night Eagle’s place made his mother’s house look plain by comparison. Every room shimmered with expensive decor, and there were statues and idols tucked into corners, watching over everything.
His office was spotless, like someone had wiped away every trace of his real business. Still, Lydia and Connor managed to dig up enough scraps to connect the dots. Black Eagle had been dealing with those Southeast Asian syndicates from three years back.
“They’re still clinging on?” Lydia said, her tone sharp.
Connor’s brow furrowed as he remembered. “I’ve had a few close calls in the last three years. Assassins. I bet it was those guys.”
“We need to find out where they’re hiding,” Lydia replied, her voice like ice. “And make sure they never cause trouble again.”
They moved into Night Eagle’s living quarters, and something on the shelf caught Lydia’s eye. It was a photo of Night Eagle surrounded by his wives. Everyone knew he had more than a few, but no children, thanks to his own rumored health problems.
Then, Lydia’s attention zeroed in on another photo. This one was old and faded, a group shot of Night Eagle with all his wives. Each woman was beautiful and dressed to the nines, but one face stood out to Lydia. She couldn’t quite place it at first.
The woman looked barely out of her teens, sitting close to Night Eagle in a pale yellow dress. Her features… There was something so familiar about her.
“Does she look familiar to you?” Lydia asked, pointing right at the woman.
Connor leaned in, studying the photo. It took a while, but suddenly he got it. He glanced over at Lydia, surprised. “Lucinda?”
Lydia let out a short, amused laugh. “Knew I recognized her.”
Connor stared at the photo, his mind racing. “Lucinda is Night Eagle’s daughter?”
Lydia shook her head, still trying to process it. “So who’s her real mother, then?”
Connor went quiet. Everything had just gotten a lot more tangled.
“Grace,” Lydia said after a moment. “The nanny who’s always with Lucinda.”
One thing was clear. Mount Gemspire and Lydora weren’t people anyone wanted to mess with.
“If you’re tired, get some sleep,” Connor said softly. “I’ll wake you when we get there.”
“Okay,” Lydia murmured, closing her eyes.
With everything handled, Lydia and Connor could finally head back to the Capital.
Cameron and Kylie had been worried sick while Lydia was away. They’d spent days fretting that she’d run into trouble, out there all on her own.
Lydia slept deeply, and when she opened her eyes, they were already back in the Capital.
“Wana grab dinner before you head home?” Connor asked. After spending the last three days with her, he wasn’t ready to let her go just yet.

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...
