Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 169

“Oh, okay.”

Watching Lydia walk out with her phone, Kylie glanced at Cameron, her thoughts written all over her face. “Honey, do you think Lydia told us to head home first because she’s got a date with Connor?”

Cameron nodded. “Could be. But don’t you think things between them are moving a bit too fast?”

Their daughter had only been home for a few days, and now Connor was asking her out in the middle of the night. It didn’t sit right with either of them.

Kylie agreed, her brows furrowing. They wanted Lydia and Connor to spend time together, to get to know each other, but a late-night meetup? What was Connor thinking?

It wasn’t long before Lydia came back in, a faint, satisfied smile on her lips.

Cameron spoke up first. “Lydia, was that Connor inviting you out?”

Kylie added, “Yeah, Lydia, we really are glad you and Connor are growing closer. It makes us happy to see you like him. But why is he calling you out so late?”

Lydia realized the call had given her parents the wrong idea.

She shook her head. “No, it’s not like that at all. Dad, Mom, he was helping me catch someone at the company. They’ve already got the guy, and Connor’s bringing him over now.”

Connor had told her Peter tried to move the goods early, but Aiden was hiding nearby and caught everything on video. When they were halfway done, Aiden’s team moved in and caught them all red-handed.

“What? You were catching someone at the company?”

Kylie and Cameron both looked stunned.
