The Real Daughter Came Back to Chill and Kill

Lily kept her head lowered, tears streaming down her face. Meanwhile, Scarlett walked straight out of the hall.

Mike was waiting on the first floor outside the hall. Upon seeing her come out first, he approached her, his excitement brimming.

He didn't ask how the exam went or why she had finished first. Instead, he handed her a bottle of warm mineral water and said, "Don't dwell on it once the test is over. Just wait for the results.

"Take this weekend to relax. I'm giving you special permission to skip your homework. Just make sure you show up to school on time next Monday."

Many teachers were watching Scarlett at this moment, their expressions a mix of curiosity and shock. They were looking around, trying to figure out which school she, who wasn't even in uniform, was from.

Herbert immediately distanced himself, clearly disdainful. In his eyes, Jonah, Lily, and Percy were on one end of the spectrum, while Scarlett was on the opposite extreme.

Jonah and Lily finishing earlier was normal. But Scarlett finishing early meant she couldn't have done well. If she were tied to him in any way, it would be a complete embarrassment!

Soon, Percy came out, followed by Jonah and the teary-eyed Lily.

Scarlett glanced across the room just in time to meet Lily's gaze. The jealousy and resentment in her eyes were practically boiling over.

Scarlett raised an eyebrow at her and flashed a cold, mocking smile. Lily seemed to have said something to Jonah, then pulled a small box from her bag and started walking toward Scarlett.

"Scarlett, I have something for you. Let's step outside."

Scarlett didn't even acknowledge her. Since she didn't care about Jonah's reputation, there was no reason to care about Lily's.

Without sparing her a glance, she turned to Mike and said, "Mr. Sawyer, I'm heading home. See you next week."

Mike smiled warmly. "See you next week."

Scarlett then headed outside, with Percy following closely behind.

Lily bit her lip, feeling wronged, then quickly chased after them.

It wasn't until they were outside that she spoke up. "Scarlett, I got my brother to get you a new phone. It's the hottest model sold under the Quinn family's brand.

"You could never afford something this good with the little money you've made from your part-time job. This one's brand new, just for you."

She extended the box towards Scarlett.

Scarlett casually slung her bag over one shoulder, her other hand in her pocket, as she glanced at the phone with a bored expression. She scoffed sarcastically, "You're offering this nice of a phone to me? Don't you want it?"

Lily stepped closer and lowered her voice, "Scarlett, you better take it. I know you're feeling all smug right now, but no matter how good your grades are, people will still look down on you if you don't have a hundred bucks to your name.

"At least you can put on a front with this phone!"

Percy suddenly leaned in, his head popping up between them. "Hey, you're really just gonna act like I'm not here?

"This phone's an old model, right? What else can it even do besides making calls and watching videos? It probably can't even play games, huh?

"You're making Scarlett carry this phone to put on a front? God, you're killing me!" Percy was laughing so hard that he almost collapsed.

Lily's expression darkened, her anger growing. Damn it, she had hoped Percy was far enough away to not hear, but he'd closed in so quickly.

This phone was indeed one of the worst-performing models they had picked from a selection of popular phones. The reason was simple-Scarlett was a beast at games.

She could rack up a hundred stars in Pride of Kings with ease. Jonah still bragged about those hundred stars in front of his lackeys. If Scarlett hadnoveldrama

a better phone and played ever

better, it would be a slap in Jonah's face.

Jonah didn't want that to happen, and Lily, being the understanding sister, had

chosen this particular phone for her.

She forced a smile and explained, "Scarlett doesn't play games, so a phone with too much power would be wasted. This one is just right for her."
