Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 425

“Who’s there?”

Connor heard something and his gun was out in a flash, pointed right at Jonas.

“Wait, it’s me!”

“He’s one of us!”

Jonas and Lydia spoke up at the same time.

Jonas’s voice, though, was practically a scream. He was so scared Connor would pull the trigger that he sprang up, waving his arms and yelling at the top of his lungs.

Connor heard a guy’s voice and narrowed his eyes, his tone icy. “Who are you?”

He sounded completely cold, not a hint of emotion, and there was a clear edge in his voice.

Jonas ducked down, too afraid to show his face. He was pretty sure Connor thought he was some kind of rival.

“Mr. Jefferson, I’m with the Norwood family!” Jonas blurted out, stumbling over himself as he rushed over.

When Jonas got close, Connor finally remembered who he was.

Blake’s assistant. He’d seen him before.

Before Connor could say a word, another anxious voice echoed through the night.

“Lydia! Lydia!”

Blake had finally arrived with his men.

It was pitch black, and they’d been trying to stay hidden like Lydia told them, so it had taken a while to find her. But when they heard gunshots up on the mountain, they ran as fast as they could.

Blake spotted a tall shadow next to Lydia and immediately thought it was an enemy. He pulled his gun and aimed, ready to fire. “Get away from my sister!”

“Blake, I’m fine,” Lydia called out right away.

Connor also glanced at Blake and said, “Blake.”

Blake was caught completely off guard by it.
