Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 96
Kylie nodded, giving in. “Alright. Just hang in there a bit longer. Grandpa Samuel and the others are downstairs, they’ll be up any minute.”
“Okay.”
The elevator chimed and out stepped Mr. Jefferson with his three grandsons, all loaded down with fancy gift bags that looked like they belonged in a luxury boutique.
Kylie hurried over to greet them. “Thank you for the gifts.”
Mr. Jefferson waved it off. “The boys want to show a little appreciation.”
“Grandpa Samuel.” Lucinda slipped up next to him, wrapping her arm softly around his. She looked up at him with her best sweet-girl smile, but her gaze kept drifting over to Connor, who stood a little apart, tall and cool and so heartbreakingly handsome. Her heart thudded so hard she thought it might burst. Her cheeks felt hot.
Was Connor sneaking glances her way? Did he think her yellow dress was cute?
Connor, for his part, just found the dress way too bright for a hospital. His eyes were sensitive, and he didn’t like colors that loud.
Mr. Jefferson smiled at Lucinda, giving her arm a gentle pat. He moved forward, then paused, glancing around. “Where’s Lydia?”
Kylie quickly explained, “Lydia’s still at the office working overtime. She should be here soon.”
Mr. Jefferson let out a little sigh. “Why is she working during the holidays? She should be taking it easy, not running herself ragged.”
Kylie tried to reassure him. “We don’t want her to be so busy either, but she’s really into designing clothes lately. So we gave her a little company to play around with.”
Mr. Jefferson’s eyes lit up. “She can design clothes too? My future granddaughter-in-law really is gifted, isn’t she?”
“Wayne...”
Mr. Jefferson hurried over. “Alright, alright. We heard you just woke up. Take it easy.”
He looked at Cameron and Kylie, worry creasing his brow. “What on earth did he have to end up like this? You told me he was in critical condition. It scared the life out of me.”
Mr. Jefferson only knew Wayne had taken too many supplements. He just figured Wayne had made a mistake. No one had told him it was Lucinda who gave them to him.
Cameron and Kylie hesitated, unsure what to say.
Before they could answer, Lucinda stepped out, her eyes already brimming with tears. “Grandpa Samuel, it’s all my fault. I just wanted to help Grandpa feel better, so I bought him some supplements… I didn’t realize they’d be too strong. Instead of helping, they made things worse…”

done reading lydia's story. thank you for sharing it....

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...
