Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 455
That whole line made Connor give Jay another look, this time with obvious jealousy in his eyes.
Cameron’s attitude shifted too, warming up right away. After all, this guy was someone Mrs. Smith often looked after, and he’d basically grown up with Lydia. There was no way they could treat him like a stranger.
“So, what’s your name? Are you here in France for business too?” Cameron asked.
Jay answered easily, “Sir, I’m Jay. I came to France to watch the car race. Lydia told me you were all going, so I figured I’d say hi and join you guys for the day.”
Jay seemed super outgoing and easy to talk to. He was young, good-looking—he honestly had that college guy vibe. People just instantly warmed up to him.
“Well, what a coincidence. We’re just about to have breakfast. Why don’t you join us?” Kylie said with a friendly smile.
Jay flashed a grin and nodded. “Sure, if you don’t mind, I’d love to come along.”
Connor’s dark eyes narrowed a little more. This Jay guy looked harmless, even innocent, but Connor wasn’t buying it. Anyone who had supposedly grown up with Lydia wasn’t going to be ordinary. And Jay just popped up out of nowhere. Lydia had never mentioned him before. Then again, what did Connor really know about Lydia’s past?
“Lydia, how come you didn’t mention your cousin was coming to the race with us?” Connor finally asked, not bothering to hide his suspicion.
Lydia’s voice stayed gentle. “He only got to France really late last night. I just found out he’d be at the race too.”
Jay gave Lydia a look loaded with meaning. “What should I call this gentleman? Uncle...?”
Cameron burst out laughing. “See, Jay here has got a real sense of humor.”
Connor couldn’t help finding Jay more and more irritating, and he couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something dangerous about this guy. It was like Jay knew all his secrets. Still, now wasn’t the time to grill Lydia about Jay’s identity. If Jay really did grow up in Lakeview Town, then that’s where Connor would start digging for answers.
Just then, Lucinda came running over, all smiles. “Sorry to keep you waiting, Mom, Dad, Blake, Connor.” As she got closer, she realized there was someone new standing with them.
“Mom, Dad, who’s this?”
Jay beamed at Lucinda, his voice turning soft and gentle. “Hi, Miss. I’m Lydia’s cousin.”

thank u!...
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...
