Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 864
Lydia arched an eyebrow. “Lincoln?” Was this the same Lincoln who got forced to do a hundred push-ups by Connor at the Davis family charity gala?
“Yes, Lorelei, it’s me. I was hoping to buy you a coffee. Would you let me?” Lincoln was practically dizzy from how stunning Lydia looked. He’d been waiting just for her. The roses in his hand were actually meant for someone else, but the moment he saw Lydia step out, he changed his mind and hurried backstage to wait for her.
“Didn’t you say you haven’t even graduated college yet?” Lydia asked.
Lincoln hesitated. “Age doesn’t matter. What matters is how serious I am about you, Lorelei.”
“I’m thirty,” Lydia replied, her tone matter-of-fact.
Lincoln’s eyes went wide. No way. She didn’t look thirty at all. He paused, then tried again, holding out the bouquet. “Love doesn’t care about age.”
“Oh, honey, who are you? Lorelei isn’t interested in dating,” Katie called out, her voice full of urgency as she rushed in. She’d been waiting for Lydia to come offstage, and when she didn’t show, Katie figured someone must have stopped her. And she was right. This kid barely looked old enough to shave. He actually had the guts to hit on their Lorelei?
Lincoln lifted his chin, getting ready to announce himself like he was somebody important. “I’m—”
“Lincoln, itching for more push-ups?” a cold, bone-chilling voice cut through the air. Lincoln stiffened, almost bolting on the spot. He turned slowly, disbelief written all over his face, and saw the one person who haunted his nightmares step out of the shadows.
His eyes went wide. Oh, hell. Why was this demon here too?
“But Connor, don’t you already have a fiancée?” Lincoln protested, feeling more confused by the second. Why did Connor have to compete with him over everything? Lincoln just wanted a sweet romance with a beautiful girl. Why was that so impossible?
Connor let out a cold snort. “She’s my fiancée because I said so. Is your brain that slow? Drop down and give me a hundred push-ups. Maybe that’ll get it working again.”
Lincoln felt like it was the final straw. Seriously? Again?
Connor glanced at the other men still lingering with business cards. “And you guys... What are you waiting for? Get out of here.”

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...
