Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 386

Connor had always believed a real man never hit a woman, but Milana and Jenson were something else entirely. The things they’d done… even animals had more decency.

He couldn’t believe they’d actually turned on an old lady.

“Gag her,” he said, his voice calm but cold.

Aiden hurried over, clamped a hand over Milana’s mouth, and called for someone to bring a rag. He stuffed it in, muffling her furious cries.

Milana fought with everything she had, but the two bodyguards in black pressed her down to her knees and pinned her in place. She couldn’t move an inch.

“Hit her,” Connor ordered. “Don’t stop until her face is unrecognizable.”

His words sent a chill through the room.

That was when Milana finally saw who their attacker really was. It was that guy Lydia was always hanging around with. Her eyes filled with rage as she glared up at Connor, screaming behind the gag.

The sound of slaps echoed through the room, sharp and clear. Each one left her more dazed, her ears ringing and her cheeks burning.

Jenson lay sprawled on the floor, feeling like he’d died and come back to life. He reached for the knife, pulled it out carefully, and stared at the wound. It was about two centimeters deep, not enough to be fatal. He kept telling himself he’d be fine, that it wasn’t serious, but the pain was so fierce he broke out in a cold sweat.

“You… you…” he stammered, staring at Connor.

So it really was Lydia’s new man.

“I’m calling the cops!” Jenson shouted. In his mind, Connor was the one who stabbed him. He was determined to see this arrogant punk locked up.

Connor just let out a low laugh. “Let me do it for you. We’ll see what the police say when they find out how you and your wife tried to torture your own mother.”
