Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 158

“I’ll have my people keep watch. When they show up to move the goods after midnight, we’ll catch them in the act.”

“No need to go through all that. They’ll have to move everything out anyway. Let’s just head to the station now and come back later with the police. Doesn’t that sound a lot more fun?”

Connor arched an eyebrow, eyeing Lydia with a smile that grew a little wider. Lydia looked completely in control, cool and confident, like she always knew what to do. He could already tell tonight was going to be interesting.

Lydia drove Connor to the Capital’s First Precinct. Aiden was already waiting for them out front.

As soon as he saw them, Aiden hurried over. “Boss, Lydia, all twenty-two of those guys in black are in custody and being questioned. We just got word that Parker and Rose were caught at the airport and will be brought in soon.”

Right after he spoke, a row of police cars pulled up, lights flashing bright against the night.

Lydia couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. “That was quick.”

First Precinct really lived up to its reputation. They didn’t mess around.

Two officers got out of the lead car and opened the back. A disheveled Parker and a wailing Rose were pulled out, both looking a complete mess.

“Officer, we’re being set up! We have our reasons, really! Please, can I borrow your phone, just for one call? I just need to call Kylie. This is all just a big misunderstanding!”

The officers ignored Rose’s crying. Her face was pale and tired, but when she spotted Lydia standing by the doors, her whole expression changed.

“Ms. Norwood! Ms. Norwood, please, explain to the officers! We never meant to kidnap you! We just wanted to talk, Ms. Norwood!”

Lydia let out a short, cold laugh. “You followed me to Lakeview Town with over twenty men in black and threatened me with stun guns, and you call that wanting to talk?”

Rose went even paler. “They just wanted to scare you! You’re totally fine, aren’t you?”
