Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 212

Chris was practically bouncing with impatience. He turned to Lydia and pleaded, “Lyds, come on. Maybe we can grab a ride together sometime?”

His teammates had been pestering him every day, hoping Lydia would come coach them.

“She’s your ‘sister-in-law’,” Connor said, his tone icy.

Chris rolled his eyes but gave in. “Alright, my awesome sister-in-law, please have my phone number. I’m begging you.”

Everyone stared in shock.

Was this really happening? The family’s notorious troublemaker, actually begging Lydia for a phone number? It was almost unbelievable. Chris was always so proud, usually ignoring everyone and doing his own thing.

Lydia couldn’t help but laugh and brought out her phone.

Connor turned away, looking annoyed. He was clearly jealous.

Why did she have to have Chris’ number at all?

Chris finally got Lydia’s contact and grinned so wide he looked like he’d won the lottery. “So, when are you free? My teammates are dying to meet you. Please, just give us a chance?”

At this point, Lydia was basically their idol.

Before Lydia could answer, Connor cut in, voice cold. “Your sister-in-law is super busy. She barely has time to rest. Stop bothering her.”

Chris pouted but, faced with Connor’s glare, shut his mouth. He figured he could just message Lydia later. His brother couldn’t be watching him every minute.

Lydia thought for a moment. “I’m kind of swamped these next couple of days. Maybe we can talk about it later.”

Chris nodded eagerly. “Yeah, sure, no problem.”

They were still joking around when a guard rushed in. “Sir, Miss Lucinda is here to see you.”
