Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 468

Lydia’s words hit Lucinda like a slap.

A hundred times? Did Lydia even realize how many words that was?

“Do you know how long it takes to copy out that whole book just once? You want me to do that a hundred times? How long do you think that’ll take?” Lucinda stared at her in disbelief. Where did Lydia even get these crazy ideas? And of all things, writing was what she hated most.

Lydia raised her eyebrows, looking completely unbothered. “So what? That’s just 1.6 million words. It’s summer break. You’re not exactly busy. Copying this might actually be good for you.”

Lucinda felt her frustration bubbling over. “But…”

Lydia just gave her a look. “Unless you’d rather I take your head off and use it as a soccer ball?”

Lucinda snapped her mouth shut.

Chris laughed under his breath. “Come on, Lucinda. Copying a book a hundred times is way better than losing your head, isn’t it?”

Lucinda shot him a death glare. Chris was seriously the worst.

Out of reflex, she glanced over at Iceblade, who was just standing there, watching the drama unfold like it was his favorite show. Wasn’t he the one who said he liked her? If so, then why wasn’t he stepping in to help when Lydia was clearly bullying her?

She locked eyes with him, silently begging for backup. Iceblade just smiled, totally calm. “A bet’s a bet. A hundred copies in exchange for your life? I’d say you got off easy.”

Lucinda’s eyes widened. Was he for real? Did Jay even hear himself? Did he actually want her to be with him? He just told her to accept the punishment, saying it was worth her life. Was that what a devoted admirer was supposed to say?
