Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 759
Fred and his buddies were clearly picking on Luke. The security footage made that obvious.
“Honey, I’m just telling it like it is. Look at Freddie’s face. Didn’t they do that to him?” Christie pleaded, her voice rising.
“Just shut up,” Stephen snapped.
He was done talking to Christie. She was making a fool of herself right in front of the police.
“Officers, please just handle this by the book. I’m not really his stepdad anyway. The kid was given to his dad after the divorce, but his dad can’t handle him. I was nice enough to pay for his school. Who knew he’d turn out like this?” Stephen finished, sounding as if he was washing his hands of them.
Christie and Fred stared at him, stunned.
“Honey!” Christie cried.
“Stephen!” Fred called after him.
“Don’t call me,” Stephen shot back. “I have to get back to work. You two go with the officers to the station and admit what you did wrong. It’s not the end of the world, alright?”
He didn’t wait for a reply. He turned on his heel, heading for the door.
Lydia, who had been quiet through all this, finally spoke up. “Hold on.”
Stephen paused for a second, but then kept going.
“Honey, you can’t just leave us here!” Christie ran after him, tears in her eyes. She blocked his way, her voice trembling. “Don’t just abandon us. We don’t want to go to the police station.”
Stephen looked fed up. “If you didn’t want to go, why’d you call the police in the first place? Seriously, are you trying to get yourself in trouble?”
Lydia smiled, just a little. “That dress you’re wearing is a rip-off of ‘Embroidered Shadow,’ a new design by Jenny at Greenward Power. Since your husband’s the manufacturer, he should help sort this out.”
Stephen shook his head. “I have no idea what you’re talking about. ‘Embroidered Shadow’? She bought that dress somewhere else. We didn’t make it at our factory.”
Lydia’s smile didn’t fade. “That’s easy enough to check, isn’t it?”
That pushed Stephen over the edge. “You bitch! That’s some bullshit. Who do you think you are? I’ll sue you for slander.”
Christie was still trying to catch up. She didn’t really get how things had turned into a plagiarism accusation, but when she heard Stephen threaten a lawsuit, she jumped right in. “Yeah, that’s right. You’re slandering us!”
Lydia just looked at her. “You’re both facing two lawsuits now. Enough talking. Let’s finish this at the station.”

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...
