Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 299

Marcus nodded. “Alright, I get it. Since the reporters are already there, just let the top scorer handle it. It’s a good thing anyway. She’ll get some recognition, and her school will too.”

“Okay.”

Once the call ended, Kylie looked at Lydia. “Lydia, do you want to go out and talk to the reporters?”

Lydia didn’t even hesitate. “No, you and Dad can just tell them which school I picked.”

“Alright, we’ll take care of it.”

“Thanks.”

Lucinda burned with frustration. Lydia wouldn’t even step outside. Did she really think she was so special, so mysterious? Like she was above it all. It made Lucinda’s blood boil.

Right then, her phone started ringing again. She glanced at the screen. Grace.

She didn’t want to answer in front of Lydia and Garrett, so she made up an excuse. “Garrett, I’m heading upstairs to change.”

Garrett just nodded. “Go ahead. We’ll head to the hospital to see Grandpa in a bit.”

“Okay.”

Lucinda rushed upstairs, biting her lip to keep from crying. As soon as she shut her bedroom door, the tears came. She wiped at her face and answered the call, her voice shaky.

Before she could say anything, Grace’s excited voice filled her ear. “Lucinda, Ilana just messaged me. She said you were the top scorer in the finals! That’s amazing! I knew you could do it. Lydia never stood a chance.”
