Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 457

Lucinda’s face was full of disdain.

Internationally famous driver? Seriously? Chris was just someone who drove cars for a living. She’d had drivers since she was a kid, unless she wanted to go for a ride by herself. To her, a race car driver was just another chauffeur, maybe a bit more skilled, maybe a little faster. She couldn’t understand what was so impressive about that.

Just before the qualifying race was about to begin, Lydia’s phone lit up with a call from Chris. She frowned as she answered, and Chris' voice sounded tense on the other end. “Lydia, two of my teammates were set up.”

“What do you mean?” Lydia’s frown deepened.

“They both have awful stomach pain. There’s no way they can compete.”

Lydia got up right away. “Hang in there. I’ll be there soon.” She turned to Iceblade, who was standing behind her. “You, come with me.”

Iceblade was a racer too, though it was just his side job. He had an A-level license, but honestly, his skills were S-level.

He raised an eyebrow. “What’s going on?”

Connor chimed in, “What happened?”

“Chris' teammates are out. Looks like they can’t make it to the qualifying round.”

Connor glanced at Iceblade. “So what about him?”

Iceblade immediately looked smug, shooting Connor a cocky smile. “If you need me, I can help.”

“Let’s go,” Lydia said, giving him a quick look.

As Lydia and Iceblade started to leave, Connor reached out and caught her wrist.
