The Real Daughter Came Back to Chill and Kill novel Chapter 55

Percy refused to take the paper, yet he wouldn't explain why. Instead, he teased Stacy. "I don't want it. I'll just wing it when I get up there."

Stacy nearly lost it. "You already got a demerit! You think you can just wing it again? Take it and read through it now! You can't mess up like last time. If you sound insincere, Jonah is going to come after you, and I won't be able to help you!"

The Finch family could never win against the Quinn family.

Percy grinned, looking every bit the troublemaker he was. "It's fine. Worst case, I get expelled. Saves me the trouble of going to school."

Stacy looked like she was about to cry. If she could go up there and read the apology letter for him, she would've rushed toward the stage already.

Just then, Mike called out from the side of the field, "Percy, Scarlett, come to the front."

Usually, only the shortest students stood in front. Besides that, it was only those who were about to be praised, or, more often, criticized.

Neither Scarlett nor Percy was exactly short. Being called up could only mean trouble.

Under the gleeful stares of their classmates, Percy straightened his back and strutted to the front. He wasn't scared at all. He wouldn't be the one reading the apology letter anyway.

Scarlett frowned. She didn't understand why she was being dragged into this.

In the chaos, Stacy shoved the apology letter into her hands, telling her to give it to Percy.

Scarlett weighed it in her palm. It was five pages thick. It had to be at least 2,000 words. Stacy had really gone all out for Percy.

She stuffed the letter into her pocket and followed Percy to the front, standing side by side with him. When she glanced to the right, she saw Jonah standing at the front of the Class A line, his face dark as a thundercloud.

Scarlett raised an eyebrow, putting two and two together. A smile tugged at the corners of her mouth, knowing things were about to get interesting.

The flag-raising ceremony quickly moved on to the rewards and punishments segment. No surprise, Class A once again won the honor flag.
