Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 208

“You’re driving?”

Lydia’s eyebrow shot up as Connor came around to open the passenger door for her, looking more than a little surprised.

Connor just grinned. “What, are you scared to ride with me?”

Without a word, Lydia slid into the seat.

Connor only had trouble seeing at night. In the daytime, he was perfectly fine.

If Lydia’s driving style was all speed and adrenaline, Connor’s was the complete opposite. He drove like nothing could ever faze him. The car glided along so smoothly that Lydia could barely feel the road beneath them, yet he didn’t go slow at all.

From a professional’s point of view, Lydia had to admit he was a fantastic driver. Calm, self-assured, and not the type to show off.

Suddenly, Connor’s phone chimed. Lydia glanced over without thinking.

A message flashed across the screen: [Boss, Miracle Hands was just spotted in the Capital.]

Lydia blinked.

Wait. Was Connor the one offering a billion dollars to find Miracle Hands?

He didn’t notice her looking, his focus never leaving the road.

Lydia thought for a moment, then pulled out her own phone and texted Juna.

[Did you find out who needs the treatment?]

Juna responded right away. [*crying* No clue. Whoever it is, they’re making sure no one can find out. Everything’s brand new, no info to go on.]

Lydia sighed.

A second later, Juna sent another message. [But it’s a billion, Lyds. Seriously, aren’t you even a little tempted? You don’t want to give it a shot?]

Lydia typed back, [I’ll take it.]

Juna exploded, [What?!]

Lydia added, [Tell them not to transfer any money yet. I want to check the patient first.]
