Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 873
Lydia didn’t even bother responding. She just opened the back door and slid in, ignoring everything else.
Lucinda lifted her chin, all smug, and claimed the front seat. She shot Garrett a sweet, teasing look. “Garrett, remember when you used to take me out? Every single time, you’d buckle my seatbelt for me.”
Garrett, in the middle of buckling his own seatbelt, paused and grinned. “You’re not a kid anymore. That’s your boyfriend’s job now.”
Lucinda pouted. “He’s not as thoughtful as you.”
Garrett just chuckled. “Maybe I should give Caspian a few tips next time I see him.”
The truth was, Caspian had only ever shared a car ride with Lucinda once, on Friday, when he picked her up and buckled her in. Lucinda was clearly showing off, probably just to annoy Lydia, and making Caspian look bad on purpose.
“Thanks, Garrett,” she said, acting all sweet.
She figured it didn’t matter anyway. It wasn’t like Caspian and Garrett saw each other much.
Sunday afternoon was chaos around Capital College and Capital Med School. The traffic was jammed up with students coming back for the new week. If Garrett hadn’t had to drop Lucinda off, he wouldn’t have been stuck in all this mess. Instead, he had to take her to her dorm before heading to the med school.
He checked the time. He was supposed to meet Mr. Moore at four, but it was already three fifty-eight. Stuck at a red light, he had no choice but to call Kevin and apologize, explaining that he’d be late because traffic was just impossible.
He’d planned everything perfectly, but now he was looking at being half an hour late.
Lucinda had no idea Garrett actually had a meeting with Mr. Moore from the med school. When he hung up, she looked genuinely guilty. “Garrett, I’m really sorry. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t be late.”
“I heard Garrett from the Norwood family is a medical genius. Lucinda, is your brother a doctor?”
Lucinda nodded. “Yep. My brother’s incredible. He came back from abroad because the country needed him for some big biology research project. I don’t really get it, but it’s important.”
One of the girls leaned in, voice dropping. “Lucinda, does your brother have a girlfriend?”
“Yeah, Lucinda, a guy that hot must be taken, right?”
Lucinda grinned, lowering her voice like she was sharing a secret. “Honestly? My brother’s never dated anyone. He’s always been focused on work, never had time for romance. But now that he’s back and has more free time, who knows? He just hasn’t met the right girl yet.”

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...
