Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 970
Rudy stared at Lydia, clearly rattled. “Where is he now?”
“I don’t know,” Lydia said, shaking her head.
The last ping from Luke’s phone was near a garbage dump close to the school. Without wasting a second, Lydia pulled up the school’s security footage, scanning for any sign of him. Based on the school’s break schedule, Luke should have left around five in the afternoon, two days ago.
She quickly found the video of students streaming out of the gates. There was Luke, leaving with the crowd, phone in hand as he went to unlock a shared bike. Right then, two men in masks and hats walked up and asked him for directions. One of them casually tapped Luke’s shoulder.
Luke was cautious, though. He stepped back, putting some space between them before he answered their question. But after pointing them in the right direction, something clearly felt off. He shook his head like he was trying to clear it, then staggered. Within moments, he slumped and lost control.
The two men caught him, one on each side, and led him away toward the street. The camera cut off there, so Lydia switched to another angle, tracking them as they loaded Luke into a van with fake plates and drove off.
Rudy’s eyes widened. “Are they traffickers? In broad daylight? That’s insane.”
Lydia wasn’t sure if they were really traffickers or if someone was targeting Luke on purpose. Still, she knew these kinds of abductions had gotten way more sophisticated in recent years. It was almost impossible to stay ahead of them.
She replayed the footage in her mind. That tap on Luke’s shoulder—there must have been some kind of drug on the guy’s hand.
A heavy wave of guilt crashed over her. Luke had been missing for this long, and she was only finding out now. How was he doing right now?
As she kept digging for clues, her phone rang. Connor’s name lit up the screen.
“I’m coming to get you,” he said.
Lydia’s voice was low. “Sorry. I can’t make it today.”
Connor paused. “Did Lucinda do something again?”

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...
