chapter659

"When has Miss Lydia ever tried to steal the spotlight? She's just so talented that people can't help but notice her."

"If she actually wanted attention, all she'd have to do is mention she's Miss L or Melody Mastro. Everyone else would fade into the background.

The servants' whispers grated on Lucinda's nerves.

So now Lydia was the sensible one? Did that make her the unreasonable one? How dare they judge her like that. Bunch of two-faced nobodies!

Before Lydia came back, they sang her praises nonstop. Now that Lydia had been revealed as the real Norwood daughter, they'd switched sides in a heartbeat, tripping over themselves to impress her instead. How disgusting.

Just wait. When Lydia finally falls from grace and loses everything, Lucinda is going to fire every single one of these fake, brown-nosing servants. She'll make sure of it.

Since Lydia barely had any luggage, Kylie and Cameron decided to drop her off at Capital Med School first. With all of Lucinda's bags, taking her to Capital College would be a much bigger hassle.

That's when it finally clicked for Lucinda. No wonder Lydia hadn't brought much with her. She'd planned the whole thing, just so their parents would take her to Capital Med School first. Was this her way of making herself look more important? Absolutely shameless.

Lucinda felt like she was going to explode from frustration.

Cameron and Kylie knew Lydia hated being the center of attention, so they both wore hats and masks as they walked her onto campus.

As soon as they stepped through the school gates, there were upperclassmen and staff everywhere, greeting the new students. To help Lydia feel more at home, Mr. Kevin Moore had even told Ronald, the admissions director who recruited her, to welcome her in person.

So the moment Lydia walked through the gates, Ronald spotted her right away.

Even though she was just wearing a plain white t-shirt and black pants, there was something about Lydia. Her quiet confidence, her glowing skin, her tall silhouette... She just stood out, the kind of girl you'd notice in any crowd.

"Lydia!" Ronald called out, clearly excited. He hurried over, only to realize the people with her looked a lot like Cameron and Kylie. Both of them were carrying Lydia's suitcases, trying to keep it low-key.

"Ronald," Lydia greeted him politely.

"Lydia, welcome to campus!"

"Thank you."

Ronald couldn't help but be

impressed by how humble she was. He didn't know exactly what her connection was to the country's wealthiest couple, but it was obviously something big.

Do you have all your registration papers?"

Lydia nodded and pulled a folder from her backpack.

Ronald led Lydia through the registration process, and the other new students-and even the upperclassmen and staff-couldn't hide their shock. Ronald was the

head of admissions and also taught

dicine. He wa

respect

and

strict, and this was the first time anyone had seen him personally welcome a freshman.

Pretty soon, everyone was buzzing with curiosity.

"Who is that girl? Ronald's never greeted anyone personally before."

"Yeah, I've never seen him act so patient and attentive with anyone."

"She's gorgeous too. I wonder what department she's in.

"Wait a second! Didn't our school recruit the national top scorer this year? Could that girl be Lydia, the top scorer One upperclassman suddenly stared at Lydia, eyes wide.

The crowd practically vibrated with excitement, everyone craning their necks to get

a better look.

Lydia, the top scorer? Is it really her?"

"She's incredible. I heard she started winning international awards when she was just six."

"No way, the top scorer is actually this pretty? Is that really her?"
