Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 405

“We support Miss L! We support Jenny!” The crowd erupted, voices blending into one unstoppable wave of cheers.

Sierra’s face went ghostly pale. She stared at the crowd, her jaw tight with disbelief. Were they all idiots? Seriously? Just because Lydia had a big name and Blake had power, everyone automatically sided with Jenny? This was ridiculous.

Lydia raised her hand, asking for quiet. She looked calm, totally unbothered by the chaos.

“Thank you all for standing with us. If anyone still has doubts, let’s keep watching the competition. See for yourselves whether Jenny has the skill to back it up.”

Her words rang out, clear and steady, and the crowd responded instantly.

“Yes!”

“Let’s keep going!”

“We want the competition to continue!”

Lydia smiled politely. “Sorry for holding things up. Host, you can carry on with the contest.”

On stage, Sierra and Sharee felt like they wanted to disappear. They were basically the villains now, the kind everyone wanted to boo off the stage. Trying to tear someone down just because you can’t measure up yourself? It was pathetic, and honestly, kind of gross.

Luna shot them a furious look. So, these two were just bitter because they couldn’t win.

“Pathetic,” she muttered under her breath, then stormed off the stage.

Sharee was burning with shame. How was she supposed to keep competing after this?

The whole thing was being streamed live. Anyone, anywhere, could tune in.

Cameron and Kylie were glued to the TV, waiting to see if Lydia’s team could actually win something on the international stage. Mr. Norwood had nothing else going on, so when he heard Lydia’s team was competing, he had someone bring out snacks and fruit. He was ready to watch too.

Lucinda couldn’t care less. Lydia wasn’t even competing herself. It was just those designers from Greenward Power, and honestly, she thought their clothes were ugly. She had no idea how they made it to an international competition. Were the judges back home blind or what?

“I always wanted to be an international fashion designer, but it never happened,” Kylie said, eyes glued to the screen. “With Lydia’s talent, I know she’ll make it big one day.”

Cameron smiled. “Just look at how she runs Greenward Power. You can tell she’s going places.”

Lucinda forced a sweet smile and asked, “Mom, Dad, if my sister’s so talented at design, why isn’t she competing herself this time?”
