Villain’s Favorite 24

 

Chapter 24 Your Whole Family’s a Bunch of Idiots 

Alfred was very satisfied with the current situation. 

No one was crowding around Maya anymore. 

And Maya’s attention stayed on him the whole time. 

This was his ideal school life.

The girl in the burgundy dress was named Jenny Wilkinson. 

Maya learned her name from the whispers around her. 

Her family ran a high-end hotel chain, and her mother was a well-known jewelry designer. 

She was the only child in her family. 

When Kaia walked up to Jenny’s desk and handed her a beautifully wrapped piece of candy, Jenny barely glanced up. “I don’t eat candy. Go away.” 

Kaia paused. “Then… can we be friends?” 

“I don’t wanna be friends with you,” Jenny said, then deliberately raised her voice. “And I don’t like you.” 

Several girls nearby immediately spoke up. 

“Jenny, why would you say that?” 

“Kaia was just being nice.” 

“That’s so rude…” 

“Where are your manners?” 

Jenny rolled her eyes, lay her head down on the desk, and pretended not to hear anything. 

The scene felt strangely familiar. 

Watching Kaia go from desk to desk, handing out gifts and getting closer to them, Maya felt a headache coming on. 

Kaja took out a box of desserts and walked over to the siblings, who looked especially withdrawn. “These are macarons made by our pastry chef. I really like them. Please try some.” 

Maya didn’t respond. 

Alfred stayed expressionless, playing mute. 

He was very good at that.

He hated everyone at school, and whenever anyone spoke to him, he chose silence. 

Seeing no response, Kaia looked a little awkward. 

These siblings… are really strange. 

She’d never been ignored this thoroughly before.

Still, the girl put on a bright smile and continued talking anyway. “My name is Kaia. My dad likes to call me Kiki. What about you?” 

Seeing she wasn’t leaving, Maya forced a standard fake smile. “My dad likes to call me Maya Hee.” 

Kiki? Give me a break. Thomas really hasn’t changed at all. Still annoying as ever. 

“That’s such a weird nickname.” 

Kaia chattered like a little bird. 

“Are you two siblings? You don’t really look alike.” 

“But that’s normal. I have a twin brother, and we don’t look alike either. Ever since he got sick, he barely talks to me… 

“What do you usually like to play? I have a really big game room at home.” 

Kaia seemed genuinely eager to be friends with them. 

She even dragged her chair over and sat beside them, starting to share her daily troubles. 

“Dad seems like he’s been secretly looking for someone,” Kaia said, resting her chin in her hand. “I asked him, but he wouldn’t tell me. I only found out because one of the housekeepers told me. She said Dad’s been searching for someone really important, for a long time… 

Maya’s heart skipped hard. 

God. 

Didn’t I ask you back in March to go easy on me? 

And this is what I get? 

Maya felt a wave of despair. Who is Thomas looking for? 

Who else could he be looking for? 

Thomas only had two children. Maya’s biological mother had died early. Between the time she was lost and the time she returned, her mother had already passed away. 

From bits and pieces she’d heard from her twin brother, Lawrence Jackson, she knew their mother came from an ordinary background and had always been frail. After giving birth to the twins, she fell into despatr after losing Maya and eventually died. 

But her mother had been ruthless. After Maya was lost, she drugged Thomas, ensuring he couldn’t have any

more children. 

Lawrence once said their mother never believed in a man’s lasting devotion. 

She had to secure a future for her own children. 

“Even on her deathbed, she was still thinking about you.” 

That was what Lawrence had told her. 

He seemed to resent her. 

After she came back, he didn’t like her either. He saw her as an intruder. 

Thinking of her twin brother… 

Maya instinctively touched her own face. 

She and Lawrence were twins, and as young children, they had looked almost identical. 

If Thomas saw her… 

Maya shivered, her voice turning cold. “I’m not interested in your family stuff. You don’t need to tell us any of that.” 

“But… Dad and my brother used to be really nice to me.” Faced with Maya’s sudden sharpness, Kaia shrank back a little. 

She just wanted to share her worries. 

“I don’t understand why they’re acting so strange toward me now.” 

Maya finally snapped. “Because your dad’s an idiot, and your brother’s a bigger idiot. 

“Your whole family’s a bunch of idiots. 

“Is that really so hard to understand?” 

The classroom went completely silent. 

Kaia stopped speaking, frozen and unsure what to do. 

Maya looked at her coldly. 

Kaia probably didn’t even know the truth about her own identity. She’d been adopted into the Jacksons when she was two. 

At that age, memories were vague to begin with. Even if something remained, a few casual lies from adults would be enough to make her believe she was Thomas’s biological daughter. 

Then, right in front of everyone…
