The Real Daughter Came Back to Chill and Kill novel Chapter 27

Scarlett nodded. "You're not as simple as you seem."

"You're wrong," Percy said with a grin, waving his finger playfully. "I'm actually very simple. The complicated one is Uncle Xavier. This estate is his family's legacy. I'm just here for the ride!"

Scarlett raised an eyebrow. "You're pretty shameless."

Percy chuckled. "It's hereditary."

Just then, Xavier walked over and gave Percy a light tap on the head. Percy quickly ducked, clutching his head and darting into the mansion without a trace.

Scarlett instinctively took a step back, maintaining a polite distance from the mysterious Xavier.

At first, she had only suspected that Xavier held an important position. Now that she saw the grandeur of the mansion, she was sure that Xavier was undeniably a powerful and mysterious figure.

She couldn't afford to mess with someone like him.

As Xavier noticed Scarlett subtly avoiding him, his gaze darkened. "Come inside," he calmly said.

He walked toward the mansion while Scarlett maintained a respectful distance, following him from behind.

Once inside, Scarlett was once again stunned by the opulence that surrounded her.

A massive crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling. Meanwhile, the walls were adorned with paintings by renowned artists, and the floors were covered in luxurious red velvet carpets. This place was nothing less than an extravagant mansion.

"You're back, Mr. Stroud," a sharply dressed middle-aged man greeted, giving Xavier a respectful nod.

"Arrange a room for her. She'll be staying here to tutor Percy," Xavier said.

He then glanced over at Scarlett and added, "This is the butler here, Edmund Barrett. If you need anything, feel free to ask him."

Scarlett was stunned. She never mentioned that she was planning to stay here.
