Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 537
His grandfather was practically beside himself. “Chris said he almost lost his life! It’s serious, and not one of you thought to tell me?”
Lydia stepped in, her voice gentle. “Grandpa Samuel, everyone just didn’t want to worry you. Things did get a little dangerous, but the good news is, he’s about seventy percent healed now.”
As soon as Lydia spoke, the old man’s face changed. He broke into a warm smile. “Lydia, with you looking after Connor, I can finally relax. After everything you’ve done for the Jefferson family, he should spend a lifetime making it up to you. And if he ever treats you badly, I swear, I’ll climb out of my coffin just to give him a good scolding.”
Lydia laughed helplessly. “Grandpa, you’re strong as ever. You’ll live to a hundred, easy.”
Chris watched as Lydia coaxed a smile out of his grandfather and tried to quietly scoot over to Mikey, hoping to get some answers about what was going on tonight.
He barely made a move before his grandfather barked, “You! Get over here and kneel!”
Chris shuffled over, looking pitiful, and dropped to his knees in front of grandfather.
His grandfather glared. “So what, am I dead and you’re kneeling for me now?”
Chris spun around, turning his back to his grandfather and facing the door instead.
Mr. Jefferson just stared at him, clearly tempted to boot him out of the room.
“Do you even know what you did wrong?” his grandfather demanded, voice low and serious.
The whole scene felt like some serious trial.
Chris racked his brain. No matter how hard he tried, he honestly had no idea what he’d done wrong. He gave a little shake of his head.
His grandfather didn’t hesitate. He kicked Chris right in the backside, and Chris ended up face down on the floor.
“You little troublemaker! Where were you today? What have you been up to?”
His grandfather raised his eyebrows. “So you’re not allowed to talk about the actual work?”
Chris nodded, expression serious. “Right.”
Most of the missions were top secret. There was absolutely no way he could talk about them.
“Alright. Mikey, tell him what Connor was dealing with today.”
Chris was thrown off all over again. What did his job have to do with Connor?
Mikey had gotten some inside news earlier. Apparently, Connor had been called in by a high-level investigation team. The situation sounded pretty dire. Mikey had been worried sick, but in the end, nothing too terrible happened.
“Connor was summoned to the State Council today. Someone reported seeing him in the Triangle, supposedly leaking national military secrets.”

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...
