Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 318

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Jenson and Milana were swamped with nonstop calls from reporters.

Every question was the same. What do you think about your daughter cheating on her finals? How do you usually discipline her? Did you know she was cheating?

Their phones just wouldn’t stop ringing, one call after another, like some kind of virus had taken over. It was enough to drive anyone mad.

At first, they snapped back at the callers. Lydia isn’t our daughter anymore... Lydia’s gone back to her biological family, she has nothing to do with us... We had no idea about the cheating. But after a while, they were so fed up they just switched their phones off.

“I can’t believe this! She’s always been terrible at school, but when she decides to cheat, she goes for a perfect score? Is she actually stupid? Seriously?” Milana was livid. She tried to call Lydia, but the call wouldn’t go through. It only made her angrier, with nowhere to let it out.

Jenson was just as frustrated. He’d spent the past few days trying to get a meeting with the head of LYLX, but he kept getting ignored. No one would answer his calls. When he went to their office, security wouldn’t even let him in.

If things kept going like this, Smith Corporation would probably be bankrupt in less than a month.

He finally said, “Can you stop yelling? We didn’t know anything about her cheating. Even if the education board looks into it, it’s not our problem.”

“Maybe not, but the media will twist everything and drag us into this mess. Call your mother right now. Tell her we’re not getting involved. Lydia can deal with her own problems.”

Milana was worried Lydia wouldn’t be able to handle it and would end up running to her grandmother for help. Then her mother-in-law would start pressuring them, especially since she was pretty close with the principal at Silverpine High.
