Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 765
The room suddenly filled with an awkward tension. Luke cleared his throat. “Lydia, is he… your student?”
Lydia nodded. “Yeah.”
Luke hesitated, not sure what else to say. “I’ll just… go walk around a bit.”
Everywhere he looked, the place was packed with high-tech gadgets that blew his mind.
Once Luke left, Connor glanced at Lydia. Her face was as calm as ever, but he couldn’t keep quiet anymore. “Does he come here a lot?”
Lydia gave a soft yes. “He needs to do experiments, and someone has to keep an eye on the place.”
Neal usually dropped by once a week. He was too busy for anything more, so weekends were the only time he made it.
Connor felt a wave of jealousy he’d never experienced before. Neal seemed even tougher to deal with than Jay. At least Jay and Lydia weren’t that close and barely crossed paths. But Neal was different. He practically lived in her house, showed up here all the time, and even had iris scan access. That wasn’t the kind of privilege just anyone got. Connor didn’t have any of that.
He couldn’t help himself. “If we hadn’t come to see Luke today, when were you ever going to bring me here?”
He knew the question sounded needy, but he had to ask.
Lydia just laughed under her breath. “Is it just me, or do you seem jealous?”
Connor went quiet. Was it really that obvious?
Seeing his expression, Lydia finally gave in. “There isn’t much to see here anyway. I don’t come by that often myself. I only brought Luke today because I thought he could use a place to relax.”
That only made Connor feel worse. His jealousy just got worse. “So if it wasn’t for Luke, you still wouldn’t have brought me here?”
“Is that a problem?” Lydia blinked at him, looking genuinely confused. She hardly came here herself.
Connor knew Lydia valued her freedom more than anything. She hated feeling tied down. But still, he couldn’t help the way he felt.
“You’re here right now, aren’t you?” Lydia shot back.
“That’s only because you brought me,” Connor said, refusing to back down.
Suddenly, Lydia realized what this was really about. So all this time, he was just… sulking? Men’s hearts were impossible to figure out sometimes.
“Connor, next time just say what you mean. Don’t make me guess.”
“That’s because you don’t understand me well enough.”
She stared at him. For a second, this usually confident man looked genuinely hurt and almost a little pitiful.
Lydia gave up. “Mr. Jefferson, don’t be sad. I’ll register your iris scan right now.”

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...
