Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 543

“All right, Lucinda. Just be careful, okay?”

“I will.”

Paige was already waiting outside the Norwood family villa. The moment she spotted Lucinda stepping out, all dressed up and poised, she rolled down her window and waved. “Lucinda!”

“Paige.” Lucinda walked over and slipped into the passenger seat.

Paige glanced over and frowned. “Have you been dieting again? You look even skinnier lately.”

Lucinda gave a small, bitter smile. “Not on purpose.”

She just hadn’t been able to eat much. Her mood made everything taste bland.

“You were already perfect at 100 pounds. You really don’t need to lose any more.”

Lucinda was probably down to ninety-five pounds by now.

“I’ll try to eat a little more.”

Paige started the car and pulled out, but almost immediately, they ended up face to face with a sleek black luxury car.

Lucinda’s heart skipped a beat. That was Connor’s car.

It was barely past nine. She’d thought he wouldn’t show up this early. Now Paige had seen him, too.

Paige watched as the car glided past them without stopping, then turned to look at Lucinda, noticing how her face had gone pale. “That was Connor’s car, wasn’t it?”

Lucinda nodded, her expression stiff. “Yeah.”
