Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 891

Connor could barely contain his excitement when he saw Lydia’s message. Ever since she started college, he could count on one hand the number of times he’d seen her. He was bored out of his mind, missing her like crazy. Now that she was finally leaving campus, there was no way he’d let her go alone.

“I’m coming with you. Seriously, there’s nothing urgent at the office,” he said, brushing off any excuse.

Aiden just shook his head silently. Boss, how do you say that with a straight face?

“But I—”

“No excuses. Wherever you go, I go. I’ll have everything ready and pick you up in a bit.”

Lydia saw how determined Connor was, so she just nodded. “Alright.” The border was a little risky, but with Connor around, she figured it’d be fine.

It wasn’t until eleven that night that everyone finally left the lab together. Yara had been waiting outside the whole time. She had something she really needed to say to Garrett and couldn’t wait to see him. She stood there, hoping, waiting, watching the doors.

Finally, she spotted them. But what she saw wasn’t what she expected. Garrett and Lydia walked out side by side, laughing and chatting like old friends. To make things even stranger, Kevin and a few of the other senior researchers were all being super polite to Lydia.

Why? What was going on? Lydia was just a freshman. How did she end up in the most secure lab? Yara felt like her world was crumbling.

Then she remembered something strange. She’d often seen Kevin leaving the high-security lab late at night while someone else stayed inside. Was that person Lydia all along?

Still reeling, she watched as Lydia and Garrett hugged. That was the last straw. Yara’s jealousy exploded. Lydia was just openly flirting with Garrett now. Why did she get to do that?

The truth was, Garrett was just worried about Lydia. He knew she was heading out soon and wanted to wish her well, so he gave her a quick hug.
