Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 676

Lydia drifted off into her own thoughts for a moment.

Kevin spoke up again, “The research institute by the border found a strain that looks like P-K55. They’re running tests, and right now, they think it might be a new mutation. If that’s true, things could get messy fast.”

Lydia nodded. “Let me know what they find out. I’ll help if they need me.”

Kevin gave her a relieved smile, the kind that said he already knew she’d step up. “Alright. Let’s wait for their results, then we’ll talk it through together.”

“Okay.”

“Oh, and by the way, freshman training starts tomorrow. You don’t need to go if you don’t want to.”

Kevin was well aware of Lydia’s skills. The training would be nothing to her, just a game.

Lydia arched an eyebrow. “I don’t want any special treatment.”

Kevin laughed. “Fair enough. But I bet your class is going to take first place, no question.”

Lydia just shrugged. “We’ll see.”

Since she had training in the morning, Kevin sent her out of the lab early so she could get some rest in her dorm.

As Lydia left Lab Building 2, two girls spotted Kevin watching her go. They stopped in their tracks, stunned.

“Yara, isn’t that Mr. Moore? Was that student just leaving the special lab with him? Did I imagine that?” Tina, Yara’s classmate, stared at Lydia’s silhouette as it vanished into the night.

Yara frowned, her eyes following Lydia. “You saw right. That was the principal, and he brought a student out of the lab.”

Yara just smiled, gentle and unbothered. “It’s fine. One day, I’ll prove I belong in there, too.”

Tina sighed like it was a tragedy. “Yara, you’re way too nice. You have connections but you never use them. Just like that campus queen poll. Lydia disappeared from the forum and everyone blames you, but you don’t say a word to clear things up. You just let them talk.”

Yara smiled again. “People will believe what they want. Let’s go back to the dorm.”

Lydia had only just stepped into her room when her phone buzzed. Connor was calling.

She picked up and walked out onto the balcony.

Inside, Daisy lounged on her bed with a face mask on, watching Lydia. Daisy scoffed quietly. How long was she gonna up that perfect act? Strutting around like she owns the place, you’d think she was some billionaire’s daughter.
