Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 569
He never expected it to be Lydia.
When Jenson spoke, Lydia just gave a cool, almost mocking smile. “No.”
She brushed past him and didn’t look back. Lydia wasn’t about to fall for Jenson’s sudden apology. She knew it was all for show.
Once Lydia and Juna had walked off, Milana glared at Jenson, who was still standing there like he’d turned to stone. “You really thought she’d care about the past? So what if you hit me for her? She’s born ungrateful. She’s just going to stand by and watch Smith Corporation go under.”
Jenson turned, his eyes cold and sharp. “You insisted on throwing her out of the family, ang that’s why we were in this mess.”
Milana’s eyes went wide. “You’re blaming me?”
“If not you, then who? You said her family was too poor and that we couldn’t let the Norwoods take advantage of us. Well, look at things now. However poor the Norwoods used to be, with Lydia back, they’re about to hit the jackpot. Idiot.”
Jenson felt like he might explode from anger. Milana was clueless and stubborn, and now they were both paying the price. But he wasn’t going to give up just yet. He’d go talk to his mothe. Surely she knew Lydia was the founder of LYLX. If she stepped in and everyone apologized properly, Lydia would help them out. She had to.
Lydia left the charity gala early. Connor was waiting outside, ready to take her to dinner. He was a little annoyed she hadn’t told him about the event in advance.
She had just stepped out the front doors when someone called out behind her.
“Miss Norwood.”
Lydia stopped and glanced back.
Lincoln jogged up to her, grinning. “Miss Norwood, I’m Lincoln. I grew up with Juna, but she’s never mentioned you before.”
Lydia raised an eyebrow. “So?”
Lincoln chuckled, trying to play it cool. “Since we’re all friends here, do you mind if I have your number?”
He didn’t expect a cold, commanding voice to cut through the air. “A hundred times better than me?”
Lincoln froze, looking up.
Not far ahead stood a tall, intimidating man, easily over six feet. He wore a black, custom suit and carried himself with the kind of confidence that was impossible to ignore. His eyes were icy and sharp, like he could see through every lie. His dark hair caught the breeze, each strand full of wild energy. His chin was lifted, lips pressed tight in a way that brooked no argument.
Lincoln’s eyes went wide. For a second, it felt like all the blood in his body stopped flowing.
What the hell… Was he just tired, seeing things?
Who was this guy?
He rubbed his eyes, almost afraid to look again.

thank u!...
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...
