The Real Daughter Came Back to Chill and Kill Novel

Chapter 88 Scarlett slipped into the new clothes as soon as they were delivered . Percy waited for her to finish changing and exit the car before he went into change himself . Then , with their tournament slips and pencil cases in hand , they went inside the building to find Mike When Mike saw their wet hair and regular clothes after the rain , he started to worry . He quickly said , " stand here and wait for me , don't rush off .

I saw how heavy the rain was today , and I was worried you'd catch a cold . I'll go make some tea and bring them over . " Percy wrapped an arm around Scarlett's shoulders , " Mr. Sawyer is really great . We've got to give it our all this time . Not for any awards , but for our pride ! " Scarlett raised an eyebrow . " You finally have a conscience , huh ? " Percy sneered , " I can't stand seeing people being treated unfairly , especially people who are good to me .

If I can , I'll wipe that smug look off Mr. Riggs ' face ! " As they spoke , they saw Herbert leading Jonah and Lily out from around the corner , Even at this point , Herbert was still holding onto the exam papers , explaining the questions to the two of them . Clearly , he had high expectations for them . " Scarlett ! " Lily looked up , her expression startled for a moment . " Jonah , it's Scarlett ! She's fine ! She's here for the exam !

" At the same time , she noticed Percy standing next to Scarlett . A wave of unease sank in her chest as she cursed Nadia in her mind for being useless . How could she fail to stop just one person ? Percy had turned over a new leaf recently , He'd started attending classes and working on his test papers . Herbert had often joked about how Mike was being driven crazy by his students , always grinning like a fool .

tily felt something was off , so she got a few of Percy's math test papers from Mike , She hadn't been prepared for what she saw . Percy actually nailed the questions that even she and Jonali struggled to solve . Where would that leave her and Jonah If Percy took part in this competition ? The champion would be long gone from their grasp . She didn't know why Percy had suddenly become so skilled , but she was certain he couldn't enter the Elite Math Tournament .

She deliberately guided Nadia to send people from her family's martial arts school to deal with Percy . The perfect outcome would be to have him bedridden for a year so there'd be one less threat when the college entrance exams rolled around . To her surprise , there he was , standing unscathed . Lily was panicking inside , but on the outside , she masked it with a look of joy , her eyes fixed on Scarlett .

Jonah looked up , a flash of surprise crossing his face , but it quickly turned into a stern expression . He strode forward , demanding , " Scarlett , where have you been all this time ? " by behind , Herbert followed closely behind , sneering . " You two actually dare to take the exam ? I'll give you credit for the bravery , " Scarlett Ignored Jonah and glanced at the papers in Herbert's hand , noticing they looked familiar .

Herbert didn't worry at all about an " underachiever " seeing the papers . After all , the exam was just minutes away , and they wouldn't be able to make sense of them with their brains , let alone remember anything . He even handed the papers to them . " Take a look if you want . These are problems set by Mr. Lancaster . I am the only one who has access to two copies of his papers in this whole school . You're probably never going to see his questions in your life .

" Go ahead , try memorizing a few . Maybe you'll manage to score more than ten . " His tone was dismissive , as though their attempt at the tournament was a joke . This year's Elite Math Tournament paper was worth 100 points , with an additional 20 points awarded for completing extra questions , totaling 120 points . If they managed to achieve a two - digit score , it would essentially rule them out of the top ranking .

Scarlett smirked , but before she could raise her hand , Lily snatched it away . She shoved the paper toward scarlett , her voice filled with feigned concern . " Scarlett , stop pretending . Just take a look . " I did this paper . I've taught you how to memorize problems before exams . You still have a few minutes , so you might as well use this time to memorize a few questions . "
