Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 287

What was going on? Seriously, this was just weird.

Lydia was so wiped out these days that, for the first time in forever, she actually slept through her alarm. She only woke up when Tina came knocking on her door. When she finally checked the clock, it was already seven thirty. Normally, she would be halfway to the office by now.

She rubbed her eyes and called out, “Are Mom and Dad up?”

Tina gave her a warm smile. “Yes, Lydia. Your parents, Garrett, and Lucinda are all downstairs waiting for you.”

“Okay, I’ll change and come down right away.”

Downstairs, Lucinda was practically bouncing as she teased Cameron and Kylie. “Dad, Mom, my exam results are in. Guess what I got?”

Cameron and Kylie exchanged a look. Clearly, Lucinda was thrilled, so her score must be amazing.

“With that grin, I bet getting into Capital College or Oakwood College will be a breeze for you,” Cameron joked, laughing.

Kylie thought for a second. “You must’ve scored over seven hundred.”

Lucinda’s face lit up with pride. “Mom, you’re right.” Then she turned to Garrett. “Garrett, what about you? How high do you think I scored?”

Garrett smiled. He knew Lucinda’s prep classes and tutoring before finals had cost a fortune. She was always one of the top students, though she could be a little unpredictable at times. But for these finals, she had been completely focused. Garrett thought about it. “I’d say somewhere between seven twenty and seven thirty. Any more specific and I’d just be guessing.”

Lucinda looked even prouder. “Come on, you’re underestimating me.”

Cameron, Kylie, and Garrett were all caught off guard.
