Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 331

Blake was just a teenager back then.

The boy on the right, looking almost identical to the one on the left, held his chin high, cool and aloof. His eyes were icy, giving nothing away, but deep down there was a quiet strength you couldn’t ignore.

That was Arthur, also in his youth.

Between them stood a tiny eight-year-old girl. Her delicate face was tense, not a hint of childish innocence in sight. Her lips were set in a determined line, her eyes sharp and unwavering, staring straight ahead.

The three of them stood on the winners’ podium, their serious faces catching the light of every camera flash. There was something about them—so intense, so focused—that you couldn’t help but feel their hunger for success and their fearless outlook on the future.

Garrett stared at the old photograph, eyes going wide in shock.

Wait, was that Lydia standing with his two older brothers?

No way. That couldn’t be right.

Blake: [I only realized today when our little sister shared all those certificates and medals. We actually met her ten years ago.]

And they’d even shared the stage together.

Too bad neither of them had recognized that the little genius girl beside them was actually their own sister.

Back then, he’d felt embarrassed to be up there with a little girl, like he wasn’t even as good as an eight-year-old.

Who would’ve guessed she was really their baby sister?

Arthur: [If we hadn’t been so caught up in feeling embarrassed, and just asked for her contact information, maybe we would’ve found out she was our sister way sooner.]

At the time, he and Blake were just busy thinking their intelligence had been shown up by a little kid. It never crossed their minds that she could be family.

Elliot: [Seriously? What are the odds? This is all on you two. If you’d just realized who she was back then, our sister would have come home years ago.]
