The Real Daughter Came Back to Chill and Kill novel Chapter 3

Jonathan planted his hand on her suitcase, stopping it in its tracks. "What the hell is wrong with you?"

"What's with you again in the middle of the night?" Todd strode over, his tone full of anger. "You've already messed up the round-the-world trip your mother and I had planned! Can't you learn to be more considerate like Lily?"

Heh. That round-the-world trip again.

In her past life, when she was suffering in the psychiatric hospital, she called them for help countless times.

All they said was that the doctors had her best interests at heart and that she needed to be more considerate. After all, they had a round-the-world trip to go on.

Only when Lily was injured by another psychiatric patient did they bother to return—and even then, they only spared her a glance.

That was also the cruelest they had ever been, as they had handed her over to death with their own hands.

She had never known parents could be this irresponsible.

Staring at them coldly, she retorted, "You want me to be considerate?"

"You brought me back into the family, yet left me in that broken-down storage room, out of sight from everyone.

"I've been here for an entire year, and not once have I enjoyed the most basic privileges of being your daughter. Forget about wealth and glory, I had to work part-time just to cover my living expenses. What did you ever give me?"

Todd stared at her in disbelief.

It wasn't that he realized he was wrong—he was just shocked by her tone. How could she speak to him like that?

His face darkened. "How much more money do you want? When are you going to drop this nasty habit of always asking for handouts?"

Margot chimed in with a gentle tone, "Sure, we didn't give you much allowance, but it's not like we gave you nothing. That's not fair to us as your parents. Besides, we only did it for your own good. Once you get rid of those bad habits from growing up in the sticks, we'll give you whatever you want."

Scarlett let out a cold, bitter laugh.

"What a joke. Your so-called 'own good' means making me live worse than the maids? At least the maids get paid. What do I get?"

Todd and Margot were left speechless.

They were usually out and rarely concerned themselves with household matters.

All they knew was that their sons were helping Scarlett get rid of her "bad country bumpkin habits". They had no idea what her life was really like.

They instinctively turned to the only ones still at home—the eldest and youngest sons.

Jonah pulled out a card and held it out to her. "So, all this fuss is just to get some money, right? There's a million on this card. Is that enough for you?"

Scarlett sneered. "You should just save that for your precious little sister."

"Scarlett, don't be mad. This is all my fault. I'll give you anything you want, as long as you forgive me," Lily said with a guilty look.

Scarlett raised an eyebrow at her. "Is that so? Fine. Then give me that Celestial Drop necklace Mom and Dad gave you. Can you bear to part with it?"
