The Real Daughter Came Back to Chill and Kill novel Chapter 10

Scarlett flipped open her exercise book to review her latest assignment, which had ten key questions. To her dismay, she had gotten seven wrong.

Jonah looked at her with a teasing gaze. How could she get such basic questions wrong? Thankfully, no one knew she was his sister by blood. It would be mortifying for him.

"Oh? You did all the steps right for this one, but how did you end up with 13 over 13, and then simplify it to seven?"

Jonah remarked bluntly, "You're just being dumb! And here, you calculated the square root of nine, but your answer was 30?"

"It's because your mind is all jumbled up!" he continued.

Scarlett went through seven ridiculous errors in succession. Even the least observant person would realize something was amiss. She was a senior in high school. Despite her not-so-great grades, it was improbable for her to make such simple errors repeatedly. Clearly, the numbers had been altered.

In her previous life, Scarlett had noticed someone meddling with her work but chose not to confront Lily, avoiding a potential argument. This decision, however, cost her numerous chances to showcase her academic abilities.

Jonah's face grew increasingly troubled as he examined Scarlett's exercise book. His eyes filled with confusion as he reviewed it. Curious classmates gathered around to see for themselves.

"It's odd. How could the same errors happen seven times consecutively?"

"It looks like someone altered the answers."

"But after the teacher marked it, Lily meticulously corrected the errors using a red pen."

"Though these mistakes were so basic, there was no need to correct them..."

The group was left puzzled.

Scarlett sneered at Lily. "Ms. Lily of the Quinn family, do you have anything else to say?"
