Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 506
On the balcony next door, Iceblade kept to the shadows, dressed head to toe in black. Across from him, Lydia stared him down, her eyes icy and unblinking. For a long moment, neither of them said a word. Then Iceblade finally spoke, his voice low. “If I told you it wasn’t me, would you believe me?”
Lydia didn’t even hesitate. “Was it you?”
They both knew what she meant. The bullet pulled out of Connor had the Blood Oath mark on it. Whoever managed to hurt Connor wasn’t just any assassin. And Iceblade was definitely up to the task.
He gave her a tired look. “It wasn’t me. Not tonight.”
He meant he hadn’t been involved in tonight’s attack, but he wasn’t saying he’d always stay out of it in the future.
Lydia narrowed her eyes, her voice firm. “But you knew what they were planning.”
Iceblade was about to answer when a sudden thump interrupted them. Both he and Lydia heard it. In a split second, Iceblade vanished without a trace.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the wall, Grace was frozen in shock. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing. Was Lydia really working with the people trying to kill Connor? Who could even get close enough to hurt him? And what was Lydia’s real connection to these people? What was she after? Was it the same thing Grace wanted?
She leaned in, desperate to hear more, but her foot slipped and hit the door. The sound made her heart stop. Instantly, she clapped a hand over her mouth. As she turned to run back into her room, a shadow flickered on her balcony.
A man in black appeared, moving like a ghost. His face was angelic, but the cold, lethal energy around him made her blood run cold. He felt like death itself.
Grace’s voice shook as she raised her hands. “I… I didn’t hear anything. Seriously, I didn’t hear a thing!”
Iceblade’s lips curled into a small, chilling smile. “Is that so?”
“Yes, yes! I promise, I didn’t hear anything!”
He looked amused. “But what if I think you did?”
Grace’s fear spiked. The look in his eyes was so cold and dangerous, her legs turned to jelly and she stumbled back. Before she could scream, Iceblade flicked his wrist. A sharp, chemical smell hit her, and everything went black.
Lydia’s face didn’t change. “You’re the one who wants him dead.”
Going after Connor meant going against her.
He met her gaze, hurt flickering in his dark eyes. “How long have you even known him? How long have we known each other?”
“We were never on the same side,” Lydia said, her voice steady.
Iceblade let out a soft, wounded laugh. “Yeah. People like me only belong in the dark. That’s all we’re good for.”
Lydia’s voice dropped, almost gentle. “If you’re willing to leave Blood Oath, I can help you.”
For a second, something sparked in Iceblade’s eyes, a glimmer of hope. But it faded just as quickly, swallowed up by the darkness.

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...
