Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 736
“You shut your mouth!” Mandy snapped, her voice trembling with anger and fear. Jackson was so close to his promotion. He had warned them over and over not to mess anything up. Tonight had already spiraled out of control, and there was no way she could let Jackson get dragged into this too.
Her eyes scanned the room and landed on Lydia. This was all because of her. Only now did Mandy realize that everything Connor had done tonight was for Lydia. “What’s going on between you and Connor? Why is he helping you?”
Lydia’s name had never come up in the Capital before. It was only this summer that she’d made headlines as the top scorer in the national exams. How could some college student from the countryside be connected to Connor?
Lydia met her gaze with a calm defiance. “You don’t deserve to know.”
She wasn’t about to reveal that she was the real Norwood heiress. When the time came, everyone would know exactly how she and Connor were connected.
Connor, honestly, was dying to tell everyone that he was Lydia’s fiancé. If it weren’t for those snakes crawling around in the shadows of Southeast Asia, he probably would have. He needed to take care of them, and soon.
Byron spoke up again, his voice steady. “Mrs. Gibson, if you would.”
Mandy’s hands clenched so tightly her knuckles turned white. She glanced anxiously toward the front door, but there was still no sign of Benjamin.
“I’ll go to the station with you,” she said, “but not until my husband gets back.”
“If you’d like Mr. Gibson to come to the station with you now, that’s fine with us,” Byron replied, all official business.
“About seven or eight minutes ago, sir. Please, you can’t get involved. Your wife and daughter have already been taken. If you get mixed up in this, it’ll only make things worse.”
The butler, Ryan, had been with the Gibson family for decades. He was loyal to the core. Tonight’s situation was a nightmare. The Gibson family had been caught red-handed, and there was no easy way out. If Benjamin got pulled in too, everything would fall apart. It’s Connor who they were dealing now.
Benjamin understood just how bad this was. He’d thought the plan tonight was foolproof. Who could have guessed Lydia would be tied to Connor? Now Connor had them right where he wanted them.
“I get it, Ryan. I’m going to find Jackson.”
The whole thing was too complicated to explain to Jackson over the phone, and Jackson was busier than ever these days. Sometimes Benjamin couldn’t even reach him directly and had to go through his aide, Harvey. But tonight, he needed to see Jackson in person.

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...
