Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 950

Lydia pretended not to hear Lucinda.

Kylie and Cameron couldn’t hold back their curiosity. “Lydia, is Connor’s mom really back?”

Lydia finally shook her head. “No, she sent the gift through someone else.”

Kylie had already opened the gift box. She let out a gasp. “Wait, is this the Hutton emerald necklace?”

Cameron recognized it too and leaned in, eyes wide.

Inside the box were twenty-seven emerald beads, each one perfectly round and impossibly smooth. They looked like they’d been shaped by nature itself, glowing with a deep, mesmerizing green. The color reminded you of a hidden forest pond, mysterious and beautiful, as if every bead carried its own secret story. The jade felt silky and warm, and when the light hit it, it shone with a gentle glow, not too bright but impossible to ignore, like sunshine slipping through morning mist.

“Lydia, I can’t believe Connor’s mom would give you something so valuable,” Cameron said, awe in her voice.

Lucinda took one look and her eyes filled with envy. Why? Why did Lydia get all of this? This should have been hers. She felt the sting of unfairness flare up, hot and sharp.

“It really is gorgeous. She put so much thought into it.” Kylie sighed, her voice full of admiration. “Lydia, Connor’s mom hasn’t even met you yet and she’s already sending such an expensive gift. Your medical skills are amazing, and honestly, her health isn’t great. Maybe, if you get a chance, you could check on her for us?”

Lydia nodded. “I already talked to Grandpa Samuel about it.”
