Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 280
Lydia lifted her lashes with an effortless grace, casting a look at Lucinda that made it clear she saw her as nothing more than a sideshow.
“My study methods really are that good,” she said, her tone light. “Most people can’t learn them… I doubt they’d work for you.”
Lucinda felt her chest tighten with anger. Was Lydia actually calling her average? The nerve.
“Oh? If your methods are so amazing, does that mean you’ll get a full score on the finals?” Lucinda shot back, plastering on a sweet smile. If Lydia wanted to brag, she’d let her. The higher Lydia climbed, the harder she’d fall. Getting a perfect score wasn’t easy. Of her four brothers, only the oldest two had managed it. Even Garrett had lost a few points. Lydia grew up in the middle of nowhere… Lucinda figured Lydia should just be grateful if she got into any college at all.
Lydia’s lips quirked with amusement. “Results aren’t out yet. Who knows, maybe I did get a perfect score.”
Lucinda stared at her, completely thrown. Was Lydia for real? Did she honestly think she could pull this off?
Yeah, right.
“Wow, a perfect score?” Lucinda made a show of gasping, twisting Lydia’s words on purpose. “You really think you can do that?”
Lydia set down her chopsticks and met Lucinda’s eyes, her gaze calm and steady. “If I get a perfect score, what are you going to do?”
Lucinda paused, then smiled sweetly. “If you really ace it, I’ll send you coffee every day and beg you to teach me how you did it.”
Lydia nodded. “Sounds good.”
Garrett chuckled from the other end of the table. “Looks like Lydia’s pretty confident. Lucinda, you’d better get ready to start studying.”
Lucinda clenched her jaw, but forced a pout as she looked at Garrett. “Garrett, you’re siding with her! What if she doesn’t get a perfect score? Maybe she’ll have to learn from me instead.”
She’d made it clear. If Lydia failed, she’d be the one serving coffee.
But Garrett just shook his head, smiling. “Don’t underestimate Lydia. Let’s all just wait and see.”
Kylie laughed too. “That’s right, Lucinda. I think your sister can do it.”
He pouted, looking genuinely wounded. “I really can’t guess.”
She grinned, finding his act kind of adorable. “I would have.”
His face brightened. “Seriously?”
“Nope.”
Connor blinked, looking betrayed.
She laughed again. “I’m teasing. It’s just a few steps. Why wouldn’t I walk you out?”
His disappointment vanished in an instant, and he reached for her hand. “I finally got off work early today. You should get some rest.”
Lydia nodded, but in her head, she was already making a list of the things she still had to finish. Even when she wasn’t at the office, the work never seemed to end.

Olha a história bem boa só algumas coisas são chatas ( nesse tipo de história sempre troca as filhas pela a da empregada ou então pegam uma menina pra criar) pelo menos eles tratam a filha bem só enche o saco que até agora a Lucinda tá lá enchendo ! Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
