Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 621

With her heart pounding, she bolted for the parking lot. The hotel had parking both above and below ground. Her car was in the lot upstairs, but with the cops closing in, her instincts took over and she dashed into the underground garage, hoping she could find a way out.

“Soren?”

She hurried down the stairs, heels echoing on the concrete, and spotted Soren just as he was getting into his car. For a split second, hope flared inside her. She picked up her pace, nearly running.

“Soren!”

Soren had already sensed something was off and had left the party early with his parents. He didn’t want Lydia making trouble for them. His parents' car was parked above ground and was probably already on its way out of the hotel.

When he caught sight of Sandy running toward him, his expression shifted. He yanked his car door shut, ready to drive off. No way was he getting involved, not after the way Lydia had phrased things. Sandy was the main suspect now. Getting mixed up with her would only bring him more problems.

Sandy saw the panic in Soren’s eyes. Desperate, she pressed herself against his car, her voice trembling.

“Soren, please... please help me.”

Soren was freaking out. He shouted, “Sandy, you know exactly what you’ve done. How am I supposed to help you? Get off my car or I’ll call the police!”

Sandy knew she was Lydia’s target and Soren had already witnessed what Lydia was capable of. There was no way he’d risk crossing her.

“Soren, it wasn’t me. My mom and dad did it, not me. I’m being set up!”

He shot back, “Doesn’t matter who did what. It’s not my problem. Move, I need to go.”

Desperate, Sandy played her last card. “Soren, I own half of Smith Corporation’s assets. Help me and I’ll give them all to you.”

That caught his attention. For a second, he actually hesitated, but then he scoffed. “Smith Corporation is finished. You seriously think you have assets left to give? You can’t fool me. Get out of here.”
