Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 351

There was really just one rule everyone knew: don’t mess with Connor. If you did, you’d never see it coming.

Why else would Chris’s friends look like they’d just seen a ghost when Connor showed up?

Connor narrowed his eyes, giving Nathaniel a look that was pure warning. Nathaniel’s mind went completely blank. He tried to cover with a shaky laugh. “Oh, Connor, you’re here too… So, uh, what’s going on with you two?”

Honestly, he was baffled. Why was Connor with this girl? Wasn’t he all about keeping his distance from women? And even if he wanted to get close, didn’t he already have a fiancée? Still, Nathaniel wasn’t about to ask any of that out loud.

“Aren’t you supposed to be racing?” Connor asked, his voice low and steady.

Nathaniel felt embarrassed for being so rattled, but who wouldn’t be? This was Connor. Even Nathaniel’s dad had to think twice when dealing with him. Of all days, why did he have to run into the devil himself?

“Yeah, racing. Of course,” Nathaniel replied, trying to regain his cool. He waved over one of his guys, signaling for him to give up his car, then turned to Lydia. He was all business now, no more joking around. “Miss, what should I call you?”

“You don’t need to know my name.”

Lydia walked straight to the car and pulled open the driver’s door. Connor didn’t hesitate, sliding into the passenger seat right beside her.

She glanced at him. “Sure you can handle this?”

Connor leaned over, calmly buckling her seatbelt for her. “Absolutely.”

Meanwhile, Nathaniel climbed into another car with Evan, one of his own crew. Evan watched Lydia get behind the wheel of his car, wide-eyed.

“Boss, who is that girl? And why is Connor with her?”
