Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 834
Lucinda sat there in silence for a few seconds before finally meeting her grandfather’s eyes. “Grandpa, Caspian actually had a crush on me way back in middle school. But because I was engaged to Connor then, I never really talked to him.”
She paused, letting the words settle. “He’s never given up, not even after all these years. Now that I’m no longer tied to the Jeffersons, and he’s always been so genuine with me, I just… I want to give him a real chance.”
Earlier, when she’d talked to Kylie and Cameron, she’d been so sure of her feelings for Caspian. But now, in front of her grandfather, her story had shifted without her even realizing it. It sounded almost like she was turning to Caspian for comfort after being rejected by the Jeffersons.
That thought made her grandfather’s heart ache even more.
“Lucinda, what happened with the Jefferson family… that was just fate. None of us could have changed it,” he said, his voice gentle. “But now you’re free. You’re only eighteen. You have so many paths you could take. I’m not against you dating someone, I just want you to find someone you really like, someone who truly cares for you, someone you can trust with your future.”
Lucinda’s eyes stung with tears as she wrapped her arms around her grandfather’s arm, giving it a little shake. “Thank you, Grandpa. I just… I don’t want to miss out on someone who’s been so good to me. That’s why I’m finally brave enough to try this, to see if he’s really someone I can trust with my heart.”
Her grandfather was quiet for a moment before asking softly, “Are you sure about this?”
Lucinda nodded, her expression firm. “I am.”
Her grandfather finally nodded too. “Alright, Lucinda. If you want to give it a try, then do it. I hope he treats you well and you’ll be a good match.”
He looked at her seriously. “But… you need to remember to look after yourself, too.”
“I will, Grandpa. I promise.”
She hesitated, then added, “Caspian and I don’t have an engagement or anything official, not like Lydia and Connor. They’re actually engaged. I’ll make sure to keep things appropriate between me and Caspian while we’re dating.”
She answered anyway. “Lucinda.”
“Leila, what’s up?”
Leila sounded panicked. “Lucinda, what’s going on with all these rumors online? That girl with your brother today… was that Lydia? Why did they seem so close?”
Leila had been crushing on Elliot forever, always pestering Lucinda for details about him. Once, she didn’t mind sharing. Now, just hearing from Leila or Paige made her feel irritated for no real reason.
“Leila… what do you want me to say? You saw it yourself. But don’t worry, my brother would never be with her.”

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...
