The Real Daughter Came Back to Chill and Kill novel Chapter 95

Back in the car, the air around Scarlett felt heavy. Percy didn't even dare to breathe too loudly.

After a moment, he carefully turned on Pride of Kings and nudged the phone toward her.

"Do you want to play a couple of matches? It might help blow off some steam."

Plus, he could use a few extra stars on his rank while they were at it. Scarlett glanced down at his phone screen, then pulled out her own device instead.

Her old pink phone was tucked into a clear, minimalist case. The smooth 120Hz display flickered to life, looking sleek and high-end.

She said casually, "Now that I think about it... It's been two seasons since I last logged into my own account."

Percy leaned over eagerly. "I bet you dropped outta Mythic rank by now, huh?"

Scarlett re-downloaded the game and logged in. As soon as the screen loaded, her rank fell straight from Supreme Mythic down to Celestial Star 1.

Percy couldn't help but burst out laughing as he compared it to his Mythic rank.

"Man, your rank is trash now, hahaha! Look at me, though! I'm so freaking awesome!"

Scarlett couldn't even be bothered to remind him that it was she who had carried him up there in the first place. Her slender, pale fingers lazily tapped across the screen, and she queued up a match without much thought.

Percy sat beside her, propping his face in his hands to watch her. He loved watching Scarlett play. She never looked like she was trying too hard, her fingers dancing across the screen with effortless precision.

Even her casual posture couldn't hide the fact that she absolutely dominated the battlefield.

Scarlett then headed toward the study. But she paused once she reached the door.

She remembered very clearly that Edmund had said she could explore the manor all she wanted, but the study was strictly off-limits.

She glanced back at Edmund. "You're sure you want me to just walk in?"

Edmund nodded frantically. At this point, Scarlett already knew the Stroud family's biggest secret anyway. She wasn't just Xavier's savior but was also the Stroud family's savior.

After getting Edmund's full approval, Scarlett dropped her hesitation and pushed the door open.
