Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 716

Lydia smiled, cool and confident, like nothing could shake her. “We like to fight for what we want,” she said, her voice calm and sure.

Felix just stared. Holy crap, Lydia’s smile was something else. It’s beautiful enough to make your heart stop.

Daisy and Patricia stiffled a laugh, covering their mouths.

“Lydia, are you serious right now? You’ve only got four people on your team. Look at those two, they can barely stand up. And you still think you’re getting first place?”

Lydia raised an eyebrow. “They’re taking a break now, which already puts them ahead of most people. We’ve got seven days. How can you be so sure we can’t win? Right now, you might have more energy, but can you keep that up all week?”

Daisy’s eyes flickered, just for a second, but she quickly recovered and scoffed. “Lydia, even if the world ends, your team isn’t getting first place. That’s ours, and you know it.”

Monica and Fiona scrambled to their feet, hands on hips, trying to look tough. “First place is ours!”

Sure, they were a little unsure, but there was no way they’d admit Daisy’s group was better. And with Lydia and Jules on their side, who said they couldn’t win?

Daisy burst out laughing, almost doubling over. “If you win, I’ll write my name backwards!”

Lydia smirked. “Is that so? You really think you’ve got this in the bag?”

Patricia snorted. “Obviously!”

Lydia grinned. “If you’re so confident, let’s make this interesting.”

Daisy narrowed her eyes, instantly suspicious. “What are you up to, Lydia?”

Lydia just shrugged, completely at ease. “I’m not up to anything. I just want to make a bet. What, are you scared?”
