Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 539

“Alright, I’ll listen to you. Oh, and I’m Shadow,” he said.

Lydia arched an eyebrow. “Second place. Not bad. You’ve got potential.”

Shadow might have been ranked second, but the gap between him and L, who was first, was huge.

Now that everything was out in the open, Mr. Jefferson let out a heavy sigh. “The Jefferson family has been loyal for generations. Are we really going to let a bunch of schemers smear our name like this?”

Just thinking about it left him feeling empty inside.

“Grandpa, this isn’t over,” Connor said, his eyes steady and determined. “I’ll prove to everyone that the Jefferson family is still the same as it always was.”

Mikey nodded, backing him up. “Don’t worry, Grandpa. We’ve got this. You don’t need to stress over it.”

Mr. Jefferson’s face softened with pride. “Your father would be so proud of you. But Connor, once you’re fully recovered, you’ll need to make an official visit to the Norwood family.”

Ever since Lydia returned, the Jeffersons had visited the Norwood family twice, but Connor’s status back then was nothing like it was now.

Connor agreed right away. “Don’t worry, Grandpa. I’ll go visit them soon.” He wanted to let his future in-laws know that he and Lydia were doing well and that he’d take care of her. He wanted them to feel at ease.

Mr. Jefferson nodded and turned to Mikey.

Mikey looked confused. “Why are you looking at me? When Blake goes as their future son-in-law, I’m not going along for the ride.” The last thing he wanted was an awkward run-in with Lucinda.

Chris quickly chimed in. “Yeah, I’m not going either. I’d just be in the way.”

Mr. Jefferson just waved them off. “Do whatever you want.”

He turned back to Lydia then, his eyes crinkling with a smile. “Lydia, how are you so amazing? You went to the most dangerous places in Southeast Asia by yourself at fifteen. Do you have a fan group? Can you add me to it?”
