Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 522

Lydia lifted an eyebrow, curiosity flickering in her eyes. “Oh? And how exactly are you planning to ruin me?”

Milana let out a cold laugh. “You did surgery on Luke and then just walked away. You didn’t even check up on Sandy. With that kind of attitude, how do you deserve to be Miracle Hands’ apprentice?”

Lydia just stared at her, completely unimpressed. “That’s your big accusation?”

It was obvious Milana was just looking for something to complain about. Lydia hadn’t followed up herself, sure, but she’d made sure Dr. Hady was handling it.

“Don’t get too full of yourself,” Milana snapped. “Just because you’re Miracle Hands’ student doesn’t mean you can act like you’re better than everyone. Listen up. Sandy applied to Capital Med School too, and she got in. You two are going to be classmates.”

Lydia just shrugged. “And?”

After her own surgery, Sandy finally understood how amazing real medical skills could be. Lydia always strutted around, lording her status as Miracle Hands’ apprentice over everyone, especially at the hospital.

But now that Grandma knew Miracle Hands and Sandy got into Capital Med School, Sandy figured she could get Grandma to help her out. Maybe Miracle Hands would take her as a student too. Then she’d be on Lydia’s level, and with her brains, she thought she could even surpass her.

“Lydia, don’t get so cocky. One day, I’ll definitely beat you,” Sandy announced, her tone full of pride.

Lydia wasn’t the only one who looked at Sandy like she’d lost her mind. Even Connor shot her a look that screamed, Are you serious?

Lydia couldn’t help but wonder if losing a kidney really did mess with someone’s brain.

“Talk is cheap,” Lydia said, her voice easy and a little mocking. “If you want to surpass me, go ahead and do it. Until then, let’s get down to business.”

When Lydia’s gaze landed back on Jenson and Milana, they both flinched.

“Lydia! How could you be so ungrateful? No matter what, we’re still your adoptive parents,” Jenson protested, his face turning red with anger.
