Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 892

Connor stared at Damien, clearly puzzled. “What’s wrong with it being all picked clean?”

Damien looked lost. “Wait, you mean… that’s a good thing?”

Connor glanced over at Lydia with a soft, fond look, then shot Damien a little smirk. “If Lydia clears out all the herbs, you finally get to go back home, don’t you?”

Damien blinked, trying to process what he just heard.

Connor leaned in, his voice teasing. “Honestly, you should be thanking Lydia. You should be hoping she comes by every day and picks as much as she can.”

Damien was speechless, his expression frozen.

Connor kept going, his tone half-joking, half-serious. “If she doesn’t, then it’ll be your son, maybe even your grandson, stuck here guarding this mountain of rare herbs. Think about that.”

Damien almost wanted to drop to his knees right there. “Boss, I get it now. I promise I won’t complain anymore,” he said quickly. Please, just spare my future generations, he thought.

A little while later, Lydia came back with another basket of herbs. She noticed Damien, who had been sulking before, suddenly spring to life and hurry over to help her.

“Let me get that for you. Do you need any more? I know where most of the herbs grow around here. Just say the word.”

Lydia arched an eyebrow, a bit surprised by his sudden enthusiasm.

Damien gave a sheepish grin. “Really, Lydia, I just want to help you finish gathering everything as soon as possible.”

She couldn’t help but laugh. “It’a alright. This is enough.”
