Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 996
Connor checked his watch again. Lydia had been inside for half an hour already and still, nothing. He was starting to worry, wanting more than anything to go in and check on her. Garrett paced the hallway, restless and anxious. Luke was only sixteen. Losing him like this was just... heartbreaking.
But Lydia was hurt too. She was still so weak and the cold in there couldn’t be good for her.
Right when the tension felt unbearable, the door opened. Both Connor and Garrett looked up at once.
Lydia stepped out, face calm, but Connor could see it right away. Her skin and lips were almost colorless, and her eyes were red and swollen. She’d been crying, no question about it.
Connor’s heart twisted. He hurried over, reaching out to steady her. “Lydia.”
She lifted her gaze to him, her voice icy. “What happened to them?”
Connor hesitated. He didn’t want her to push herself right now. “Let’s get you back to the room. I’ll tell you everything there.”
She nodded. “Okay.”
It turned out Falcon wasn’t the real mastermind. He was just a puppet. Connor had found that out while investigating on the cruise. The one actually behind everything was Greg.
Greg had reached out to Falcon first, asking for help, and the two of them struck a deal. The reason Greg targeted Luke? Luke’s kidney was a match for a girl Greg was obsessed with.
“Greg’s girl?” Lydia frowned.
Connor nodded. “He’s still in Las Vegas. I’ve already sent people to find out who she is, what makes her so important to him.”
Lydia’s eyes narrowed. “Don’t tip them off yet. We need to keep them steady. Once we’re done here, we’ll go to Las Vegas.”
“So far, nothing about last night has gotten out. Greg still thinks Luke is with Falcon.”
Lydia was quiet for a moment. “Falcon’s backers are tied to the Terra Syndicate, right?”

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...
