The Real Daughter Came Back to Chill and Kill novel Chapter 97

Scarlett explained, "The Ninefold Academy is part of the Hayman family's business. They have a son and a daughter, and each of them has control over half of the academy's personnel for their own use.

"Nadia is the Hayman family's precious daughter, and she's also the discipline officer of the advanced class. Plus, she and Lily are best friends. Oh, but that's probably not the case anymore.

"However, Nadia might still want to mend things with Lily. Some of the Hayman family's major projects rely heavily on their relationship, as they've had long-standing cooperation with the Quinn family."

Percy had little impression of Nadia, but after hearing this, it suddenly clicked for him.

"I haven't done anything to Nadia, but I did have a run-in with Lily. Wait, no! It's not that I 'ran into' her. She was the one who kept coming over, and I didn't pay her any attention."

Percy kept bumping into Lily during the past two weeks when Scarlett had been on leave. He'd run into her in the teacher's office, at the cafeteria, even at PE class. It felt like an uncanny series of coincidences.

Class A was on the first floor, while Class F was on the second. Every time he left his classroom and went downstairs, he'd pass right by Class A's door.

He couldn't help but suspect Lily was doing this on purpose. At first, she just flitted in front of him like some aloof, elegant model, exuding a cool and noble aura. Then, she started greeting him.

"Percy, fancy seeing you here!"

"Percy, you're here, too."

"Percy, may I sit next to you?" Her voice was soft, so gentle that it could almost make you drown in it.

Back then, Edmund was watching Percy closely, taking his phone to prevent him from playing games in class. This left him totally frustrated.

Moreover, he'd already had a run-in with Jonah, and he didn't think highly of his sister either, so naturally, he was just simply irritated. That was why he flatly rejected her without a second thought.
