Chapter 41 Do You Want to Know?Â
Watching that whole scene play out left Maya feeling dazed.Â
FirstandÂ
What kind of amazing life was Toby living, having so many handsome guys and pretty girls circling him?Â
Even as Annie led Toby away, she didn’t forget to greet Maya. “Maya, I’ll borrow your brother for a bit. Can you go play on your own for now?”Â
Maya nodded. “Sure.”Â
Anyway, once Toby got here, he clearly had no plans to watch over herÂ
Hehe..Â
That meant she could eat as much as she wanted at the banquet.Â
anymore.Â
“Your little sister is so well-behaved.” Annie’s eyes curved into a smile, clearly in a better mood.Â
Looks like Toby doesn’t really care much about his sister.Â
That’s good.Â
With so many people around, all he needs to care about is me.Â
Toby absentmindedly brushed off his girlfriend’s endless chatter.Â
That wasn’t his first time at such a banquet, but it was obviously Maya’s first.Â
Rarely, he found himself feeling slightly uneasy, his eyes locked tightly on Maya’s movements.Â
When he saw her slip into the buffet area on the east side, Toby lightly bit his lip.Â
It was a habit he had whenever he felt anxious.Â
Annie knew his small habits well and sensed his distraction. She couldn’t help but tighten her grip on his arm and stretch her voice in a spoiled tone. “Toby…”Â
Only then did he snap back to his senses. He smiled gently, his voice soft. “What is it?”Â
“Come meet my family with me, okay?”Â
Annie acted cute in a practiced way.Â
She seemed a little anxious, tugging harder at his clothes./Â
For once today, Toby’s patience was unusually thin. His expression quickly turned cold as he pulled his hand away and headed straight for the buffet area.Â
Annie was dumbfounded.Â
Every movement between them was being watched by nearby guests.Â

By now, some socialites secretly observing were already laughing at her.Â
Swallowing her embarrassment, Annie hurried after him and grabbed his hand, lowering her voice. “Toby. my mom is here too. Aren’t you going with me?Â
“You’re my only partner here tonight.Â
“I only have you.”Â
After all that pleading, the only response she got was his indifferent question. “So?”Â
Toby didn’t follow her lead at all. He simply tossed the question back to her.Â
He had learned those official-style deflection skills so well that Annie was almost speechless.Â
With no other choice, she stepped along in her thin heels and followed him, wanting to see what he was so eager to rush off to do.Â
It was the first time Toby had brought an unfamiliar little girl to a banquet.Â
Some people with darker thoughts even guessed she might be his daughter.Â
But that guess was way too ridiculous.Â
He was only 14. There was no way he had a daughter that big.Â
So the only possibility was that she was a relative.Â
A normal relative wouldn’t be kept so close to his side, so she was probably his sister.Â
The Clarks were mysterious. Aside from Toby, the identities of the others were carefully hidden. Most people guessed she was his younger sister.Â
A boy dressed in an especially gentlemanly style thought it over for a few seconds before decisively walking straight toward her.Â
“Hello, Miss. My name is Elliot Sheppard.”Â
That familiar name stabbed into Maya’s memory like a needle.Â
Maya tightened her grip on the porcelain plate, but she didn’t say anything.Â
“Is Toby your brother?”Â
Seeing her silent, Elliot kept trying.Â
This time, Maya finally answered, “Do you want to know?”Â
She was eating dessert. Right now, a sweet, innocent smile appeared on her face. “Then bend down. I’ll tell you quietly.”Â
Her mixed-featured doll-like face lifted slightly, her smile especially sweet,Â
He let his guard down for a moment and actually leaned down obediently.Â

Chapter 41 Do You Want to Know?Â
Maya used all her strength and slammed the dessert straight into his face.Â
At the same time, flashes of memories from her previous life kept replaying in her mind.Â
It had been Maya’s birthday.Â
Elliot had purposely laughed and smeared cake all over her hair.Â
Maya had been a complete mess.Â
He had even smiled innocently, calling it “just a joke for the birthday girl.”Â
From that day on, Maya never wanted to celebrate her birthday again.Â
If he hadn’t shown up, she might have almost forgotten those terrible memories from her previous life.Â
But now that he had delivered himself right to her, she wasn’t about to miss the chance and decisively smashed the dessert all over his face.Â
Elliot froze completely.Â
He hadn’t even realized what had just happened.Â
Maya had used so much force that even his nostrils were blocked with cake. He gasped for air, only to accidentally swallow a mouthful of sickly sweet cream.Â
That immediately triggered violent coughing.Â
Maya lightly jumped away and turned to run.Â
Hitting someone and running away felt thrilling.Â
Her steps were fast, but before she got far, a hand reached from behind and stopped her escape.Â
Toby had obviously noticed that she caused trouble the moment she left his side.Â
But he didn’t care.Â
Pushing through the crowd, Toby grabbed the bow at the back of her dress and said coldly, “Who told you to eat the food here?”Â
