The Real Daughter Came Back to Chill and Kill novel Chapter 32

Percy slumped back into his chair, looking utterly defeated. Until the SATs were over, he could kiss his carefree gaming days goodbye.

Suddenly, Scarlett asked, "Why isn't this place listed on any maps?"

She found it strange that a place like this existed so close to the city center, yet no map contained it. She had checked every map she could find, and the only place marked was Jondalia Gardens.

Scarlett knew about Jondalia Gardens. It was the biggest landmark in Yendale.

She had visited it in her previous life too. But all she had seen were a few free-roaming animals and a vast, crystal-clear lake. She hadn't seen any grand Eurofian-style architecture.

When they entered earlier, she had glimpsed the lake and recalled walking along a short path that wound through a small forest.

After that, vibrant flowers and lush greenery surrounded them until they finally arrived at a grand estate.

Xavier spoke gently, "This place used to be a political stronghold in the last century."

Scarlett immediately understood why it was not listed anywhere. It was highly secretive. Even the Quinn family seemed unaware that Yendale had a place like this.

She boldly guessed that perhaps someone as powerful as a former president had once lived here. That was the only explanation for how the estate's mystery had been preserved until now.

If this place was part of Xavier's family legacy, then his background was probably…

Before her imagination could run any further, Xavier said calmly, "Don't overthink it. I'm just an ordinary person. My ancestors were the impressive ones."

Percy, scribbling away at his assignments, couldn't help but purse his lips. Perhaps that line could fool some innocent girl, but not him.

Xavier turned to Edmund and instructed, "Bring the map here for Ms. Quinn to see."

"Yes, Mr. Stroud," Edmund replied before leaving the room.

Percy suddenly jerked his head up. The map of this place was supposed to be top secret. Yet Xavier was just casually handing it over to an outsider.

What the hell was going on?

Ever since Scarlett showed up, Xavier had been strangely approachable, even accommodating.

Usually, no matter how many gorgeous girls tried to get close to Xavier, they were all driven away by his cold temperament and frosty expression.
