Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 291

“Are you all here for the top scorer in the finals?” Cameron asked, his voice carrying easily through the morning air.

Lucinda stood straight and elegant, her smile calm and flawless. She rested her hand lightly on Kylie’s arm, ready for what she was sure would be the most dazzling moment of her life.

The dean from Oakwood College stepped forward, eager and a little breathless. “Mr. Norwood, yes, we’re all here for the top scorer in the exams.”

Cameron gave Lucinda a gentle nudge forward. “Then you must be looking for her. My youngest daughter, Lucinda.”

Lucinda instinctively lifted her chin, pride shining in her eyes. She glanced over the crowd, waiting for the flood of praise and the rush for her attention.

But the room didn’t erupt with excitement like she’d imagined. Instead, a stunned silence settled over everyone.

People exchanged confused looks.

Lucinda? That wasn’t the name they were expecting for the perfect score student.

“Mr. Norwood, if I may ask,” the Oakwood representative said carefully, “how many points did Miss Norwood score?”

Cameron’s smile grew. “She got 735.”

Lucinda straightened even more, holding herself like a princess about to receive her crown.

The Oakwood representative looked truly impressed. “Mr. Norwood, you and Mrs. Norwood are outstanding examples in the world of education. Five children, all with top results in their finals. We really admire you.”

The Capital College recruiter jumped in right away. “I completely agree. You and your wife are education legends. Five children, all in college. You’re the gold standard for every parent.”
