Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 561

Lincoln wasn’t bad, but compared to Connor, he didn’t even come close. Honestly, even if Connor wasn’t in the picture, Lincoln would only ever be Lydia’s sidekick. Lydia was way out of his league.

Lincoln thought Juna was just messing with him. He flashed her a cocky grin. “So, if Miss Norwood’s fiancé is that impressive, who is he? Someone I should know?”

Juna nodded. “Oh, you definitely know him. He just probably doesn’t know you.”

Lincoln’s grin slipped a little. “Come on, Miss Davis, just tell me already.”

Juna rolled her eyes. “Not happening.”

He tried to change tactics. “Fine, at least tell me what family Miss Norwood is from.”

Lincoln was still holding out hope that he could get Lydia’s number. He was totally into her type, like she was some rare collectible.

Juna was about done with his persistence. She laughed and introduced Lydia without any drama or hesitation. “This is Miss L, the founder of LYLX. She’s also ranked third on the Sunrise Foundation’s contributor list.”

Lincoln’s playful look froze right away. His eyes went wide as he stared at Lydia, who looked every bit the ice queen. Miss L? This girl, who seemed about his age, was actually the legendary Miss L people always talked about? Was that even possible?

For a second, Lincoln was sure Juna had to be joking. They knew each other well enough to mess around, after all.

Juna saw the shock on his face and burst out laughing. “What, you don’t believe me?”

Lincoln still looked stunned. “She’s really… Miss L?” His voice was a little too loud, and people nearby started looking over.

Word spread through the gala in seconds. News of Miss L’s presence was everywhere.

Meanwhile, Jenson and Milana were leading Sandy around, trying to introduce her to all the big names, hoping she’d make some powerful connections. The Lane family had already offended the Davis family, so marrying Sandy into that family was a lost cause. It would be smarter to aim higher, maybe find someone with real influence.

Suddenly, someone nearby gasped. “Miss L from LYLX is here?”

“Yeah, let’s go see what she looks like in real life.”

LYLX was the hottest brand around, and most of the women at tonight’s charity gala were wearing custom gowns designed by Miss L herself.

Milana’s eyes lit up. “Honey, did you hear that? Miss L is actually here!”
