Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 987
Lydia let out a cold laugh. “You really think you’re in any place to bargain with me?”
Ghost glanced over at Ansel, worry flickering in his eyes. “Commander, we already agreed to hand him over. The business on the Aqua Dreamliner means everything to our boss. If it gets ruined…”
Ansel’s voice was icy and flat. “Your boss deals in nothing but shady business. If you don’t want us to wreck everything, warn them. Tell them to stop all transactions, right now.”
It was clear what he meant. If they showed up to save Luke and caught any illegal dealings, they’d step in, no questions asked.
Ghost couldn’t force a smile this time. He knew exactly how bad the situation was. Ansel and Connor had barged in tonight, catching everyone completely off guard. If he didn’t cooperate, he and his men would be dead by morning.
Once Ghost sent them the live location of the Aqua Dreamliner, Lydia and Connor wasted no time. They set up a helicopter rescue for Luke. It was the fastest way to get there.
Of course, that came with a catch. They couldn’t take many people, since there wasn’t much space on the cruise ship’s helipad. Sending a huge team just wasn’t an option.
Ansel stayed behind to handle things at the base.
Half an hour later, everything was ready. Lydia and Connor set out with ten people to rescue Luke.
The night sky stretched wide and black, like a velvet curtain wrapped tight around the endless sea. Only the steady roar of the helicopter’s blades cut through the thick silence.
Lydia looked out the window. The water was hidden in darkness, with the occasional white wave flashing for a second, like a wound leaking light. Far away, the sea blended into the sky. She could almost believe they were flying into a bottomless pit.
She glanced at Connor, sitting quietly beside her. He was tall, solid, and being next to him felt like having a shield against the world. Even though she wasn’t exactly the fragile type, he made her feel safe.
“They’re not going to let him go without a fight. This is risky,” she said quietly.

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...
