Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 868

Lucinda’s annoyance was obvious. She felt Lydia only thought about herself, not bothering to invite the rest of them. Blake glanced at her. “Lydia was the main guest at Elliot’s concert. He probably just invited her, her manager, and their team. It wouldn’t really make sense for us to go.”

Garrett nodded. “Exactly, Lucinda. If you want Elliot to treat us to dinner, we can just ask him tomorrow. There’s always next time.”

But it wasn’t really about the dinner. Lucinda was actually furious about Elliot’s attitude. He was playing favorites, plain and simple. She could barely force herself to eat anything and soon went upstairs alone.

Blake watched her walk away, frowning. “Lucinda’s got a lot weighing on her.”

Garrett agreed. “She probably hasn’t gotten over everything that happened before. It still gets to her.”

Cameron looked frustrated. “It’s all because of Grace’s influence. Lucinda’s not a bad person, really. Now that Grace isn’t here, she’s just having trouble adjusting.”

That got Garrett thinking. “By the way, when did things start up between Lucinda and Caspian? I only heard about it yesterday. It seemed to come out of nowhere.”

Kylie thought for a moment. “Caspian’s always been good to Lucinda. He’s had a crush on her for years. Now that Lydia’s back and Lucinda’s engagement with Connor is off, Caspian finally got the courage to go after her. Lucinda says he treats her well, so she wants to give it a shot.”

Blake looked thoughtful. “I just hope she really wants to be with Caspian.”

Cameron turned to him. “What are you getting at, Blake?”
