Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 505

Blake got back to the villa while Cameron, Kylie, and Lucinda were waiting for him. As soon as he walked in, they hurried over to him.

“Blake, how’s Connor? Is he okay?” Kylie asked, her voice full of worry.

Ever since Lydia and Blake had rushed out, Kylie and Cameron had been on edge. Blake had texted them later, letting them know that Connor had been attacked and seriously hurt.

“He’s out of surgery now and in the ICU. With Lydia there, I think he’ll pull through,” Blake said.

Lucinda’s heart twisted with worry. Connor was the one she’d secretly loved for as long as she could remember. Feelings like that didn’t just disappear overnight. She wanted to go see him, but she was afraid her family would overthink it, so she kept quiet.

She tried to change the subject. “Did they find out who was behind it?”

Blake shook his head. “Not yet.”

Still, he couldn’t shake the feeling that whoever was behind this wasn’t just a run-of-the-mill hitman. With Connor’s skills, he should’ve been able to protect himself.

Lucinda hesitated, then asked, “Will Lydia be able to fly home with us tomorrow?”

Blake shook his head again. “I don’t think so. Why don’t you all head back first, and I’ll stay behind to wait for Lydia and Connor?”

Lucinda didn’t really want to leave, but she couldn’t say that out loud. “I’ll wait and see what Mom and Dad decide. If they go back, I’ll go with them.”

Kylie and Cameron exchanged a look, then turned to Blake. “Blake, maybe we should wait another day. None of us will feel right leaving now.”

Blake nodded. “Alright.”

Lucinda didn’t go back to the hotel. She stayed at the villa with Kylie and Cameron.
