The Real Daughter Came Back to Chill and Kill Novel

Chapter 77 " This feels like we're invading Scarlett's privacy . It just doesn't feel right . " But Martha sensed something more beneath their words , leaving her confused and unsettled . To her , Scarlett had always been a genuinely good person . She treated the Quinn family , and even the housekeepers , with humility and kindness . Scarlett had even used acupuncture to ease their rheumatism , something that even the major hospitals hadn't been able to treat effectively .

Thanks to her , the pain that once flared up whenever it rained or the wind blew had become much more manageable . Whenever they were overwhelmed with work , Scarlett would jump in without hesitation , never minding the dirt or the hard labor . In her spare time , she was often found reading . She was diligent and hardworking . To them , Scarlett was far more sincere and genuine than Lily . It was strange , though .

Despite Scarlett being the biological daughter , the brothers seemed to prefer their adopted sister , who had no blood relation to them . They couldn't quite understand it . Jonah struggled to accept that Scarlett hadn't returned , especially since tracking showed her location was inside the house . Pinching his nose against the smell , he walked in and flipped on the light switch to the storage room . Without Scarlett's regular care , the place had fallen into complete disarray .

It had only been half a month , yet a thin layer of dust already coated the table . Fallen leaves , carried in by the wind , wefe scattered across the floor . Jonah looked up and finally noticed a large hole in the skylight . The edges of the opening were already covered in cobwebs , He remembered Lily accidentally breaking it while playing baseball , but she had clearly said she'd had it replaced the very next day . So , how could it still be broken ?

Just then , Jonathan walked in , his gaze sweeping over the room as a flash of surprise crossed his face . It was his first time ever stepping into this room . He had never cared which room Scarlett lived in . After all , there were no bad rooms in the Quinn residence . He had always assumed that even the worst room here would be hundreds of times better than anything in the countryside where she came from . But he had never realized there was such a small , dark room hidden away in the house .

His voice was sharp with anger as he demanded , " Who allowed Scarlett to stay in this room ? " Jonah shifted uncomfortably , his eyes flickering instinctively toward Lily , who stood by the doorway . Although he had been the one to bring Scarlett here that day , it was Lily who had chosen the room . 1 She had even suggested , " Jonah , do you want to test Scarlett ? I have an idea . Let's have her stay in the downstairs storage room first .

It's not as nice as the rooms upstairs , but it's still better than a hotel . " But was it really better than a hotel ? A flicker of panic crossed Lily's face before she quickly stepped forward and said , " This place was definitely clean and tidy a year ago . I even had the floors redone . I don't know how it got like this after Scarlett moved in . " Jonah frowned and asked , " Why wasn't the skylight replaced ?

" Lily looked up as if noticing it for the first time , her face flushing slightly with a touch of feigned annoyance . " Oh heavens , why hasn't it been fixed yet ? I've mentioned it several times ! That housekeeper must have been so careless ! " Standing by the door , Martha'rolled her eyes in exasperation . She had never heard Lily give any such instructions . Talk about shifting the blame ! Lily went on , " It's such a shame that the housekeeper was fired .

She really caused Scarlett a lot of harm . Otherwise , I would have given her a piece of my mind . " The truth was , the skylight had broken a month ago during a cold snap when the temperature had plunged to just a few degrees . At that moment , Jonah and Jonathan both remembered Scarlett lying in this very room on the day of the coming - of - age ceremony . She was soaked through and burning with fever . Their brows furrowed , troubled expressions clouding their faces .

Just then , Lily exclaimed , " Isn't this Scarlett's phone ? " Thi
