Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 842

Connor’s words sent another ripple of shock through the crowd.

Triple the price? Seriously? Had everyone here lost their minds over money?

For normal people, even a few million was something they could only dream about. And yet, these guys were throwing around “double” and “triple” like it was pocket change.

Lucinda was stunned. She never thought Connor would go this far for Lydia. This felt like an outright insult to both Caspian and herself.

Lydia could only roll her eyes. Did Connor think this was some kind of auction?

Caspian was just as blindsided. Was Connor really raising the stakes again? Did having money mean he could just do whatever he wanted?

But at this point, Caspian was stuck. If he backed down now, Lucinda would never respect him, and Connor and Melody Mastro would just laugh at him. The money? He’d figure something out.

“I’ll offer four times the price,” Caspian said, jaw clenched.

Lydia raised her eyebrows. Apparently, Caspian was more into Lucinda than she realized.

Lucinda was surprised too, but after a moment she thought, If Caspian can’t even come up with a few tens of millions, how could he ever be good enough for the daughter of the richest man around? Any man she chose needed to have the guts to spend big.

Connor looked like he was about to protest, but Lydia cut him off. “Fine, it’s all yours. We’re out.”

Connor shot her an annoyed look. “What do you mean? I was trying to get you a gift. Why should I just let someone else take it?”

Lydia gave him a look. “Are you trying to spend all your money in one day? I’ve already got more gifts than I know what to do with. My room’s full. If this guy wants to give a present so badly, let’s just let him have it.”

It was true. Lydia’s room was already overflowing with gifts, most of them untouched.

She turned to Caspian, her tone pointed. “I just hope your card has enough in it.”
