Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 477
Connor found himself thinking back to ten years ago. If Lydia had been recognized and brought home by the Norwood brothers back then, would he have met her much sooner?
“You were adorable when you were a kid,” he said, the memory slipping out before he could catch it. Like a little porcelain doll, but with that stubborn look on your face.
Lydia arched an eyebrow. “And now I’m not adorable?”
Connor grinned, not missing a beat. “You’re still adorable.”
She studied him for a second. “What did you look like ten years ago?”
Connor hesitated, caught off guard. Was she hinting he wasn’t good-looking now? “I… I was definitely better looking than Blake and Arthur back then.”
Lydia laughed. “Oh really?”
He nodded with complete confidence. “Absolutely. I just don’t have any old pictures on my phone. Next time we’re home, I’ll find one and show you.”
Lydia thought about it for a moment. Ten years ago, Connor would have been at the military academy. He must have been pretty impressive.
After dinner, Lydia’s phone buzzed. Kylie was calling, asking if Lydia wanted to stay over at Blake’s place that night.
Lydia glanced around, thinking it over. “All my things are at the hotel, so I’ll just stay here tonight.”
“Alright, Lydia. Lucinda’s staying here at Blake’s to practice piano for her competition tomorrow, so we’ll keep her company tonight.”
“Okay.”
Kylie hesitated for a moment. “And… what about Connor?” Her voice was careful, tiptoeing around the question. The two of them seemed to be getting closer, and she wasn’t sure how she felt about them spending the night under the same roof. Still, she didn’t want to interfere. Lydia had always been independent.
“He’s at the hotel too,” Lydia replied, catching on to her mom’s concern. “Don’t worry, we know where the line is.”
That seemed to settle it for Kylie. She let out a small sigh of relief. “I’m just being a mom. We’ll see you tomorrow, Lydia.”
Lucinda practiced piano until nine-thirty, determined not to stay up late before her competition. Just as she finished getting ready for bed, Grace walked in, looking like she had something to say but couldn’t quite get it out.
“Grace, what is it?” Lucinda asked, not in the mood for games.
Grace fidgeted. “Lucinda, I have to tell you something, but please don’t get mad or upset, okay?”
Lucinda’s stomach tightened. Something was definitely up. “Just say it.”
Grace lowered her voice. “I overheard Blake talking to your parents earlier. He… well…” She trailed off, letting the suspense hang in the air on purpose.
Lucinda lost patience. “What about Blake? Spit it out.”
Grace sighed, acting like it pained her to continue. “Blake said he gave Lydia a black card with 1.8 billion on it. And all the storefronts LYLX uses that belong to Norwood Enterprises, all over the country… he gave them all to her. Every single one.”

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...
