Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 985

Lydia pulled out her phone and shoved the surveillance video right under Ghost’s nose.

“Around eleven this morning, you moved a group of people. This boy—the one you hurt—where is he?”

Even though the camera was a bit far, you could see the blood all over Luke’s chest. It was that obvious.

Ghost glanced at the screen and his stomach twisted.

Why did it have to be him?

“I, uh, I don’t…”

“Don’t give me that. I’m taking him with me today, no matter what.”

Ghost was fuming, practically shaking, but he couldn’t make a scene with Ansel and Connor watching.

Ansel spoke up again. “Ghost, don’t make me repeat myself. Bring him out.”

Ghost stared at Ansel, completely thrown. Why was Ansel taking the outsiders’ side instead of sticking with his own people?

“Commander, some things just don’t go through me. I really don’t know where he is.”

Connor let out a cold laugh. “After the Terra Syndicate fell apart, your boss Falcon took over fast. You’re his right-hand man. I think finding one person shouldn’t be a problem for you.”

Ghost squinted, glaring at Connor. Clearly, they’d dug up everything about him.

Ansel added, “Ghost, sometimes you have to know when to back down.”

Ghost let out a strained laugh. “Commander, I really need to ask my boss about this. Give me five minutes. I’ll call him.”

Ansel paused, then nodded. “Fine. But tell him this for me—everyone here goes back today. If not, I’ll take all of you in instead.”
