Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 572

Juna glanced over at him. “What are you talking about?”

Lincoln looked even more confused, his voice rising with urgency. “Seriously, what’s going on?”

Everybody knew Connor was engaged to Lucinda, so what was he doing with another girl? And it wasn’t like Lydia was the type to steal someone’s man. She was Miss L, after all.

And Lucinda had been at the banquet. Did she not notice her own fiancé leaving with someone else?

Juna just shrugged. “You saw it with your own eyes.”

Lincoln let out a frustrated sound. “Yeah, but isn’t Connor supposed to be Lucinda’s fiancé?”

Juna raised her shoulders again, as if she couldn’t care less. “Go ask Lucinda, not me.”

Lincoln just stood there, at a total loss for words.

Juna slipped the watch into her pocket and tossed back a casual, “Thanks.”

She walked away without looking back.

Lincoln stared at his bare wrist, feeling a twinge of regret.

“Seriously? Wasn’t that robbery in broad daylight?”

Meanwhile, Lucinda went home with Cameron and Kylie. Lydia was nowhere to be seen.

Kylie called Lydia and found out she was out with Connor.

The news hit Lucinda like a punch to the gut.

Grace noticed the stormy look on Lucinda’s face and guessed something had gone wrong at the banquet. As soon as Lucinda walked into her room, Grace followed her in.
