Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 624
“Nine out of ten people want you to live, but you’re ready to die for the one who wants you gone? Seriously, are you even thinking straight?” Lydia’s voice rang out, cold and sharp, cutting through the heavy silence in the room.
Luke hadn’t expected her to show up so fast. His hands tightened on the window ledge. Had she already taken care of everything at the banquet?
Dr. Hady finally let out the breath he’d been holding. “Lydia, we’ve tried everything. He’s been up there for half an hour.” He kept his voice low as she walked over.
Lydia stopped beside him, her eyes landing on Luke—pale, fragile, perched on the edge. Her brow knitted in concern.
“Come down.” Just two words, flat and emotionless.
Luke stared at her, shook his head a little. He didn’t say anything. There was so much he wanted to say, but none of it came out.
Lydia turned to the doctors, nurses, and firefighters. “Let me talk to him alone. You all wait outside.”
The hospital staff didn’t question her. To them, Lydia was almost a legend. The firefighters hesitated. Luke had been teetering there for a while, and he seemed calm, but they all knew how quickly that could change. They were nervous to leave.
Lydia noticed. “Relax. I’m his sister. He’s just been under a lot of stress lately.”
Luke shot her a surprised look, like he hadn’t expected her to claim him as family.
After a second, the firefighters nodded. “Okay.”
There were people stationed everywhere, both upstairs and outside. Connor was already waiting down below, ready just in case Luke did jump.
That seemed to shake him a little. Lydia kept going. “The law gives people a chance to change. You don’t have to carry all the guilt by yourself. Sooner or later, they’ll understand why you did it.”
“Will they, though?”
Luke couldn’t shake the memory of Milana’s face—shock, pain, disbelief, all mixed up together. It haunted him.
“They will.” Lydia nodded, her gaze steady.
Looking into her eyes, Luke felt his resolve slipping. Before she’d come, he was certain he wanted everything to end. But now…
“Luke, I’ve always seen you as my little brother. Grandma loves you like her own grandson. Please, don’t let us down.”

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...
