Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 5
Lydia walked a little farther, then turned to glance at Jack, who was trailing behind her, completely covered in mud. “So, where’s the car?”
Jack gave her a sheepish grin and ran a hand through his muddy hair. “About that… I got lost on the way, then it started pouring, and the car got stuck in a mud pit. I couldn’t get it out, so I hitched a ride into the village on some old guy’s tractor.”
Lydia just stared at him. No wonder he looked like this. Honestly, she wasn’t much better off herself. If Jack was a mud monster, she was a drenched mess.
“How far did you leave it?” she asked.
Jack hesitated. “Uh… probably… more than ten kilometers? Maybe a bit more…” His voice trailed off and he looked anywhere but at her.
Jack quickly tried to fix things. “Miss, maybe we should wait a bit and see if any cars come by heading to the city?”
But it was late, raining hard, and in a mountain village like this, everyone was probably already home and asleep. Getting a ride was going to be tough. Lydia actually had a motorcycle, but it was back at the Smiths’.
“Let’s just walk,” she said.
They walked in silence for about ten minutes, rain soaking through their clothes, until suddenly car headlights appeared behind them.
Jack perked up. “Miss, there’s a car!” He started waving his arms, but the black luxury sedan barely slowed down as it sped past, horn blaring. The tires sent up a huge spray of muddy water, soaking both of them from head to toe.
Lydia closed her eyes and sighed.
Jack wiped his face with his sleeve and grumbled, “Just because you drive a Rolls-Royce doesn’t mean you own the road.” He paused, then frowned. “Wait, a Rolls-Royce?”
Aiden nodded right away. “Yes, sir.” Tonight had been way too close. If that mysterious girl hadn’t shown up, Connor probably wouldn’t have made it.
Back on the road, Lydia and Jack walked for another ten minutes before finally spotting a small truck. The driver, a young guy who’d been installing air conditioners in the village, was heading back to the city. He took one look at them and waved them into the cab without a second thought.
As they bumped along, Jack asked the guy to stop when they hit the paved road. He dug out a rain-soaked business card and handed it over. “If you ever need help, call me.”
The driver grinned, took the card, and tossed it onto the dashboard. “Sure thing.”
Once they got out, Lydia spotted a car half-buried in a mud pit by the side of the road, completely covered in muck. She walked over for a closer look, her eyebrows lifting in surprise.

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...
