The Real Daughter Came Back to Chill and Kill

Herbert was still basking in the glory of securing just one of Caius' test papers,

even going so far as to instruct students not to let Mike see it, as if he were some thief who might steal the questions. However, Mike's students could now solve every single one of Caius' questions, and they even had his guidance.

The surprise came so suddenly that Mike couldn't help but laugh out loud as he looked at his phone.

Herbert, who was as smug as ever, turned to the teacher next to him and said, "See? Another poor kid from the underachievers' class has lost their mind.

"It's not my fault they couldn't get Mr. Lancaster's problems. It's because they just don't have the ability. Besides, Mr. Lancaster's problems aren't something those kids could even solve."

Scarlett was focused on going through the questions at Jondalia Hospital, not willing to waste even a second. Coincidentally, Caius was one of Xavier's visitors for today.

After everyone left, Scarlett casually said, "It'd be nice if I could do Mr. Lancaster's elite math questions."

Xavier immediately had Edmund call Caius back. He even asked him to come up with new questions right there on the spot. Caius broke out in a cold sweat while writing the questions.

Scarlett couldn't bear to watch, so she asked him if he already had any existing questions. Without hesitation, Caius instructed his assistant to bring in all the problems he'd prepared. A thick stack of papers arrived, and it was every single question Caius had created over the years.noveldrama

Scarlett quickly called Percy, and the two of them dove into the questions together.

Caius didn't dare leave until Xavier said something. He sat by their side, ready to review and offer guidance. After each test, Scarlett and Percy would hand it back to him for feedback.

He would always smile warmly after reviewing. These two children were the most talented, intelligent, and logical thinkers he had ever met. No matter how complex the elite math questions were, they would immediately understand as soon as he offered the slightest hint.

Indeed, nothing about the people around Xavier was ordinary. Caius, now more serious than ever, focused all his attention on the two.

...

Soon, the day of the Elite Math Tournament arrived. At dawn, thunder rumbled, and the winds howled like a storm.

It was already pouring outside by the time Scarlett got out of bed, just like in her previous life. She stared out the window at the heavy rain, feeling a little disoriented.

The alarm clock hadn't gone off in her past life, and when she woke up, the first thing she did was scramble to find an umbrella. However, there wasn't a single umbrella in that massive villa.

She had wanted the driver to take her to the school, but all the cars were already out by sheer coincidence. She called several of her brothers for help, but not a single one was willing to lend a hand.

They accused her of lying, claiming that there were cars at home and that she was just making up excuses to get attention. They told her they were busy and to stop trying to manipulate them.

Jonah was the harshest, saying, "Where were you earlier? Didn't you think of finding a hotel near the exam hall? Lily even called you.

"This is your fault for not wanting to leave the villa. Figure it out on your own!"

Lily had indeed called her, but she told her that hotels near the exam hall cost around $2,000 a night and that she would have to pay for it herself.

However, her budget was only $500 a month at that time. Where would she get that kind of money?

As for the other brothers, they all believed she was lying, and they had their reasons for it.

She was short on cash, and Lily had introduced her to several side jobs, such as working in an internet cafe, a bar, or serving at a club. The part-time pay was good, and she was grateful to Lily for her help, even swearing to keep it between them. She couldn't tell the family, or it

would be seen as a betrayal.

However, what she didn't know was that she had fallen into Lily's trap. The places

she was working at could all be seen by Jonathan through his phone.

At first, she denied it, even claiming

she had no idea about the credit charges at the club. But when things didn't add up, she quit those jobs, only to realize it was too late. She had been branded as a liar, and her brothers looked at her with nothing but disgust and contempt.

On the day of the Elite Math Tournament, all she wanted was to get to the exam hall. She just wished one of her brothers would speak up, ask the garage worker not to make it harder for her, and give her a ride.

But they refused, sure that she was lying again, using this as some ploy to get their attention.

In the end, she had no choice but to run from the villa and head toward the bus stop. She was soaked through, drenched to the bone. By the time she reached the exam hall, she was already an hour late and she wasn't allowed to enter.
