Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 413
“What stage are you two at now? Everyone in our friend group keeps saying Connor’s got that killer body from his military days, and he’s apparently amazing in... other ways. Is it true?”
Paige’s voice grew softer and softer, and Lucinda could feel her face getting hot.
“Paige, seriously, what are you even talking about?”
“Oh, getting embarrassed? Come on, it’s just you and me. Spill it. I won’t breathe a word to anyone, promise.”
Paige just thought Lucinda was being shy, but she had no idea Lucinda was actually fuming inside. Every word felt like another stab, twisting the knife a little deeper. The man she’d adored since forever had been snatched away by Lydia. If it weren’t for Lydia, Lucinda wouldn’t have lost everything she’d ever dreamed of.
Now, she couldn’t even admit to her own friends that she wasn’t the real Norwood heiress. In their social circle, in the Capital, your background meant everything. Until she got engaged to Mikey, she wasn’t about to tell anyone the truth.
“Paige, there’s nothing going on between Connor and me. Honestly, we’re just friends. He’s a total gentleman, and I’m kind of old-fashioned. I want my first time to be on my wedding night.”
Lucinda was laying the groundwork for her future engagement to Mikey, but she was also just telling the truth. She and Connor barely knew each other. If she tried, she could count every time they’d actually met. Romance? Not even close.
Paige watched her with this dreamy, jealous smile. “Lucinda, you’re totally right. That’s how you get a guy like Connor to really value you.”
Lucinda managed a bashful nod. “Yeah, that’s what I think too.”
Meanwhile, Connor had just walked by them but hadn’t noticed Lucinda at all. He was too busy staring at his laptop, but it wasn’t work that had his attention. He was watching Lydia’s competition live stream.
Connor let out a quiet snort. “We’re not even close. Why would I care?”
The truth was, every time he saw Lucinda, he just felt put off. Maybe it was the way she acted like such a princess.
Aiden caught on right away and nodded. “Understood, Boss. That was my mistake. I won’t bring her up again.”
Connor frowned. “Unless she tries to mess with Lydia. If she does anything to hurt her, you tell me immediately.”
Aiden almost laughed. As if Lucinda could even pull something like that. Lydia was a girl who could take down twenty grown men on her own. Dealing with Lucinda would be a walk in the park.

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...
