Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 746

Cameron already knew the Jeffersons and the Robinsons never hung out together. The fact that they ran into each other today was pure chance.

“Connor, come sit down. What a coincidence. Let me introduce you, this is—”

Before Cameron could finish, William stood up from the sofa. “Since you have guests, we’ll be heading out.”

Connor smiled, looking relaxed and polite. “I just got here, Uncle William. You’re leaving already?”

The way Connor called him Uncle William was so smooth and natural, like he’d practiced it in front of a mirror a hundred times.

Everyone in the room was stunned.

William’s jaw clenched, clearly annoyed. The Jeffersons really were like a den of foxes, always so sly and calculating. That Mikey was the same way.

“Connor, you must be confused. I don’t think you are my nephew.”

“You’re right, Uncle William. I’m not your nephew. I’m your future nephew-in-law.”

William’s eyes widened and he let out a cold snort. “I only have one niece, and she’s still single. Don’t start making up family ties, Connor.”

Connor’s smile didn’t falter. “If you don’t want to acknowledge me as your nephew-in-law just yet, that’s fine. Sooner or later, we’ll be family.”

William’s face darkened.

Mabel and Nathaniel, sitting nearby, nearly burst out laughing.

Finally, someone had managed to get under William’s skin. It was almost funny.

But William wasn’t the type to let things slide. He quickly pulled himself together and turned to Lydia, his expression softening. “Lydia, you’re still young. There are plenty of great men out there. I’ll introduce you to someone even better someday.”

Connor’s smile froze for a second. Of course William knew exactly how to push his buttons.
