The Real Daughter Came Back to Chill and Kill

Soon, Scarlett received a text from an unfamiliar number. "Scarlett, I'm warning you. Don't try to disappear on me!"

The sudden threat took Scarlett aback. A couple of days later, the same number sent another message.

"Scarlett, it's Jonah. Call me now!" Scarlett rolled her eyes and immediately blocked the number.

She had heard from Percy that Jonah and Lily were desperately looking for her and found it utterly ridiculous. They practically wished she didn't exist when she was with them like she was a thorn in their side.

But now that she was out of sight, they were scrambling to find her, acting like they were terrified she might disappear. Something had to be wrong with them.

Scarlett ignored them. As long as she stayed put, no one outside would hear about her.

The Elite Math Tournament was just a week away. Every day, besides treating and caring for Xavier, she was buried in math questions. Once she finished the existing ones, she'd go online to find more questions to solve.

...

Meanwhile, as Jonah's messages were ignored, his anxiety grew by the day. He even regretted letting his underlings bully her. He had forced her to fight back like a wild animal, angering so many people in the process.

Now, with no sign of her, he couldn't shake the thought that it was all his fault. His mind was too scattered to focus on the math questions. He spent over an hour on a paper, barely making it through half of it, before he tossed his pen aside in frustration.

Lily walked in holding a few test papers, her face flushed with excitement. "Jonah! Look, I got Mr. Lancaster's elite math questions!"

In the world of elite math, Caius Lancaster was a household name. Not only was he the mastermind behind the Elite Math Tournament question-making team, but he was also the creator of some of the most challenging, nearly insurmountable problems.

Caius' elite math questions were never made public. Only children from the most influential and powerful families had a chance to get their hands on them.

The two test papers in Lily's hands had been obtained through countless efforts, with Herbert pulling strings and using all sorts of connections. Jonah was so stunned that he momentarily forgot about his worries, immediately diving into them.

Lily suddenly looked a little downcast. "The competition is just a week away, and Scarlett definitely won't have the chance to try Mr. Lancaster's questions.

"She could've worked through these if only she were at home. At least she wouldn't get such a bad score even if she didn't place."

Jonah frowned. "These problems are more complex than regular elite math questions. She probably wouldn't even understand the basic ones. Giving her these would be a waste of time.

"Besides, these are Mr. Lancaster's questions. Only someone with serious expertise can handle them."

Meanwhile, the homeroom teacher of Class F, Mike, heard that Herbert had managed to get Caius' questions. In an effort to help Percy and Scarlett, he humbled himself and requested a copy for the two of them.

However, not only did Herbert outright refuse, but he also mocked

him harshly in return. Mike was

furious but put on a brave face, encouraging his students. He sent a message in their group chat. noveldrama

"Keep going, guys! Just one week to go. Give it your all!"

Percy replied with a photo in the chat. Then, he added, "Give it all you've got! We even had Mr. Lancaster come over to our place for the final push!"

Mike opened the photo and nearly jumped out of his seat. He couldn't believe his eyes. Was that Caius in the flesh?

Scarlett also posted a photo and wrote. "These were all brought by Mr. Lancaster. With these, winning the championship shouldn't be a problem."

Mike nervously tapped the photo, which was a massive stack of elite math tests, at least a hundred pages thick. Plus, all of them were Caius' questions!
