Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 207

“Probably another three or four hours.”

“I’ll come visit once Grandpa Wayne is feeling a bit better.”

“Alright, Connor. You and Lydia should go see your grandpa now. Hopefully it’s nothing serious.”

“Okay.”

Connor and Lydia stood up, ready to head to the Jeffersons’. Right then, Lucinda walked in, carrying herself with perfect poise after fixing her makeup.

The second she spotted Connor, still looking as cool and untouchable as ever, her whole face lit up. “Connor, you’re here!”

Her tone, her excitement, the way she looked at him... it was obvious she was seeing her dream guy.

Lydia couldn’t help but notice Lucinda’s fresh makeup. Her lips were bright red and impossible to ignore.

Connor frowned. With Cameron and Kylie watching, all he could do was give Lucinda a quick, polite nod. Then he took Lydia’s hand and led her out.

He didn’t spare Lucinda a single glance.

Lucinda just stood there, frozen, watching Connor walk past with Lydia. His hand was wrapped around Lydia’s, and Lucinda felt like the world had stopped spinning.

Her chest hurt so much she could barely breathe.

Why?

Why was Connor treating her like this?

She was supposed to be the one engaged to him. Lydia came back and took everything that was meant to be hers.

Cameron and Kylie were so surprised to see Connor and Lydia holding hands that they missed Lucinda’s reaction completely.

Once Connor and Lydia were out of sight, Kylie turned to Cameron, smiling in relief. “Looks like those two are getting along. I was worried they’d both be too reserved, and wouldn’t have much to talk about.”

Cameron laughed. “That’s where you’re wrong. People with similar personalities get each other best. Lydia just seems cold on the outside. She’s actually so kind and amazing. Who wouldn’t like her?”
