Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 571

“Lincoln!”

Mr. Lowe hurried over, leaning on his fancy cane, trying to figure out what in the world was going on.

It was blazing hot, the kind of summer heat that sticks to your skin. Lincoln, still dressed in his suit, was sweating through every layer and looked about ready to pass out. But he kept going, push-up after push-up, counting under his breath. He still had twenty more to go.

“Lincoln! What are you doing? Did something happen?” Mr. Lowe just couldn’t wrap his head around it.

Wasn’t he embarrassed at all?

“Grandpa, I’m just... working out,” Lincoln managed to say, barely catching his breath.

“Eighty-two... eighty-three...”

Mr. Lowe lost his patience. “Working out? Here? Get up right now!” He tapped Lincoln with his cane, not too gently, right on the backside. Lincoln, already dead tired, collapsed flat on the ground. He almost busted his front teeth.

“Grandpa, are you trying to kill me?” Lincoln actually sounded like he was about to cry.

“Then get up. If something’s bothering you, we’ll talk about it at home.” Mr. Lowe bent down to help him, but Lincoln shook his head.

“No, I’ve got seventeen left... Almost done...”

Mr. Lowe could only stare at him, speechless.

By now, Juna, Mason, Cameron, Kylie, and Lucinda had all wandered outside to see what the commotion was. They gathered around, curiosity all over their faces.

Who does push-ups in front of the house like this? It was definitely not normal.

“Wow, Lincoln, what happened to you?” Juna grinned, teasing him.

Cameron glanced at Mr. Lowe. “Mr. Lowe, is Lincoln alright?”

Mr. Lowe could barely look anyone in the eye. He coughed awkwardly. “He... says he’s exercising.”

“Oh.” Cameron quickly dropped it, not wanting to make things worse. “We’ll head back then. We’ll come visit you again soon.”
