Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 171

Aiden had pulled together evidence for twenty-eight separate crimes.

He reached out to every victim. At first, the girls were terrified of Henry and his connections. None of them dared to speak up or press charges. But once they heard Henry had finally met his match and landed in police custody, they all sprang into action. Lawsuits were drafted. Evidence was stacked. They were determined to make sure he’d never see the outside of a cell again.

So, was he ever getting out? Not a chance.

“It’s getting late. You’ve had a long day. Let me drive you home, you need to rest.”

Connor looked at Lydia, his eyes full of concern. Girls from families like hers were usually treated like princesses, living in their own little worlds. Lucinda, for example, would make a huge scene over the tiniest scratch, rushing to the hospital like it was life or death. But Lydia was skilled, independent, and strong enough to protect herself—and others.

How did she turn out so amazing?

Lydia checked her phone. It was already one thirty in the morning. No wonder she felt so drained.

“You really don’t have to. I can drive myself. You should head home and get some sleep, too.”

Connor just raised an eyebrow, his gaze stubborn. “No way. I promised your parents I’d get you home safe. I don’t break my promises.”

Lydia let out a soft sigh. She knew how persistent he could be, so she just nodded. “Alright.”

Connor caught her reluctant smile and he smirked, just a little. He could tell Lydia was starting to let him in, even if she wouldn’t admit it out loud.

Meanwhile, Cameron and Kylie had already reached Riverside Villas.

The last few days had been exhausting with everything going on with the old man’s health. Honestly, if it weren’t for Lydia, they would have been completely overwhelmed.

But now, something else was eating at them. Lucinda had told the Parkers that Lydia was their goddaughter.

They just couldn’t figure out why.
