Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 300
Garrett was just like the others. His loyalties had shifted to Lydia, and no one seemed to care about how Lucinda felt anymore.
Only Grace was always there for her, no questions asked, always on her side.
“Don’t let it get to you, Lucinda. No matter what happens, I’m here for you. You’re not alone,” Grace promised.
That warmed Lucinda’s heart even more. “Thanks, Grace. You take care of yourself, too.”
“I will. Once I get back from Lakeview Town and my face is better, I’ll come see you,” Grace said.
“Okay.”
After they hung up, Lucinda sat for a moment, twisting her fingers together, taking a deep breath to steady herself. Then she changed her clothes and headed downstairs.
Honestly, if she could have avoided it, she never would’ve agreed to go to the hospital with Lydia.
Outside, at the front gate, Cameron and Kylie were in the middle of a press interview.
“Sorry, everyone, there’s been a mistake. Our youngest daughter, Lucinda, isn’t this year’s top scorer,” Cameron announced.
The reporters looked completely blindsided. The air buzzed with confusion.
“Not Lucinda Norwood? But our source said her homeroom teacher confirmed it—Lucinda scored 735 and was the top of the class.”
“Yeah, and what about all those fancy school buses that just left? Weren’t they here to try and recruit her?”
“If 735 isn’t the highest score, then what is?” someone else called out.
Cameron gestured for quiet and explained, “It’s true, Lucinda’s teacher did contact you, but we’ve spoken with her, and there’s been a misunderstanding.”
“I’m sorry, that’s not possible right now,” Cameron replied, his tone final.
They tried a different approach. “Can you at least tell us what your relationship is with the top scorer? Why is she staying here?”
Cameron wanted more than anything to announce that the top scorer was his daughter. Where else would she be? But he held back.
“I’m afraid I can’t share that right now, but you’ll all know soon enough how the top scorer is connected to the Norwood family.”
Seeing they weren’t going to get anything else, the reporters finally backed off. Still, they had a big scoop: this year’s perfect scorer picked Capital Med School, definitely a headline that would get attention. They hurried away to get their stories out.
After a noisy, stressful morning, the house finally felt peaceful again.
Garrett couldn’t help but admire his little sister. She’d gotten a perfect score and was still so calm about it, nothing like how you’d expect an eighteen-year-old to act. She was modest, steady, and handled everything with a quiet confidence.

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...
