Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 910

Lucinda smoothly shifted the topic to Daisy, and everyone around nodded as if it made perfect sense. After all, Capital College had Daisy, their medical prodigy. Why should they worry about some rookies from Capital Med School?

Only Lucinda knew the truth. Lydia was just as talented as Daisy. She brought up Daisy’s name just to keep everyone’s complaints away from herself. Lately, all anyone could talk about was how Daisy was going to wipe the floor with Lydia at the academic competition, utterly humiliating her. Lucinda just needed to sit back and enjoy the drama.

Meanwhile, Daisy was soaking up the flattery from her classmates.

“Daisy, even if Mr. Norwood teaches at Capital Med School, those guys still can’t hold a candle to your skills.”

“Exactly, Daisy. You’re part of the Medical Association. How could a bunch of freshmen ever compete with you? This year’s top prize in medicine is definitely yours.”

“No doubt about it, Daisy. First place is yours.”

When Daisy transferred to Capital College, she conveniently left out the part where she and her grandfather had been kicked out of the International Medical Association. For the past month, her grandfather had been frantic, pulling every string he could, reapplying again and again, but nothing worked. He was absolutely fuming.

Lydia might have her beat in military training, but when it came to medicine, she was going to make Lydia beg for mercy. And she had even prepared a special surprise just for her. The thought alone made her heart race.

Tomorrow, she would return every bit of embarrassment Lydia had caused her. Ten times over. A hundred times over.

With that in mind, Daisy couldn’t hide her smugness. She lifted her chin, though she kept her tone humble. “Don’t give me too much credit. There are so many talented people now. I can’t say for sure I’ll win first place tomorrow. But I promise I’ll give it my all and do my best to bring home some glory for our medical department.”

Later that afternoon, just before school let out, Lucinda called Garrett and hoped he’d come pick her up. But he didn’t answer. By the time he did see her call, he and Lydia were already home.

“Lucinda, I’m sorry. My phone was on silent and I missed your call,” Garrett explained, sounding tired. After his last class, he’d just wanted to go home with Lydia and catch up on some sleep.
