Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 314

There was no photo. Just a name and the university where the top scorer had applied.

In the past, each region had its own valedictorian, but it had been three years since anyone in the whole country got a perfect score. Now, finally, someone did. The news exploded online, setting the country on fire.

Comments poured in from every corner.

[No way! A perfect score? Did she save the universe in her past life or something? That brain is unreal.]

[Whoa, she aced it like it was nothing. I bet the exam papers were shaking just seeing her name. Meanwhile, I can’t even remember my own name during a test.]

[Seriously, a perfect scorer? Her brain must be some kind of genius factory. The rest of us are still splashing around in the kiddie pool, and she’s already taken a rocket ship into outer space.]

[Unbelievable. Did she grow up eating smart pills? I’m so jealous. My kid can only dream of a perfect score, haha.]

Garrett sat back in his chair, scrolling through the comments and reading them out loud to Mr. Norwood and everyone else. Cameron and Kylie burst out laughing, unable to hold it in.

Mr. Norwood’s eyes shone with pride. “I never thought Lydia could get a perfect score, especially after everything she went through with the Smith family. She must’ve worked so hard.”

Of the four Norwood brothers, only Arthur and Blake had ever gotten a perfect score. Now his own granddaughter had done it too. It was a huge moment for the family.

Garrett grinned. “Come on, Grandpa. Just look at whose blood she’s got. Has anyone in the Norwood family ever been a slouch?”

Mr. Norwood started laughing but winced, pressing a hand to his side where the sudden movement made his wound ache.

Lucinda clenched her fingers under the table, her smile tight and forced. None of this felt fair. In her mind, Lydia was nothing but a loser.

Just wait, she thought. They wouldn’t be laughing for long.
