Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 127

[You are not friends. Please send a friend request to start a conversation.]

She stared at her phone, eyes wide in shock. It felt like she had just been struck by lightning.

Connor deleted her?

No way. That couldn’t be real.

She stared at the screen, convinced she must have been seeing things. She sent another message, just to be sure.

Nothing. The result was exactly the same.

Why? Why would he do this?

It had to be Lydia. Lydia was with Connor now. She probably saw her call, told Connor not to answer, and made him delete her. That had to be it. Otherwise, why would Connor keep her on his friends list for over half a year and suddenly remove her now, right after spending time with Lydia?

Jealousy burned through her, hot and wild, until she could barely think straight.

“Lucinda, what’s wrong? Are you feeling sick?” Kylie’s voice cut through her messy thoughts.

Lucinda blinked, trying to pull herself together, and managed a shaky smile.

“Mom, I think I’m about to get my period. My stomach kind of hurts.”

“Oh, sweetheart, you should drink some ginger tea. Lucinda, why don’t you just go home for now? Your grandfather’s stable. Your dad and I will stay here and keep an eye on things.”

Lucinda wanted nothing more than to leave. She still put on a show, pretending to protest.

“But, Mom, how could I do that? You and Dad are both tired too.”

“It’s alright. We have plenty of nurses here. If you’re not feeling well, just go home and rest.”

“Alright, Mom. Thank you. Sorry to trouble you and Dad.”
