Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 400

Right now, Jenny was holding onto first place, barely ahead of Evalina by just six points. If Lydia decided to vote for Evalina, Evalina would jump to the top spot.

A fair judge would never let personal feelings sway their decision. Someone who played favorites or let bias get in the way shouldn’t be sitting at the judges’ table. That’s why most judges guarded their reputations so carefully, always trying to consider every angle before casting their vote.

Evalina couldn’t help but regret her choices. Was she stupid? Why had she sided with that stupid Minnie earlier and managed to offend Miss L in the process? If she’d just kept her mouth shut, Miss L probably would have voted for her without a second thought. But now? Now it was between someone who’d ticked her off and someone from her own country. Of course Miss L would go with her compatriot.

Everyone was watching Lydia, waiting for her to make her announcement.

“I choose number twelve, Jenny.”

The crowd exploded. Jenny’s supporters cheered and screamed. Her design was just that good and people genuinely loved it.

Jenny’s hands flew to her mouth as she tried not to scream out loud like everyone else. She had actually gotten her idol’s approval. Was this real life? She was so thrilled she could hardly breathe. Maybe she was dreaming.

Evalina just looked resigned. She’d seen it coming. Of course Miss L wasn’t going to pick her. All that work on her design, wasted.

Sierra watched Lydia vote for Jenny and couldn’t help but scoff. “Jenny’s just a receptionist at Greenward Power. She’s not even a real designer. She only won because she’s close with Miss L. That’s the only reason she’s going to be number one.”
