Villain’s Favorite 131

 

Chapter 131 Stop Guessing 

Now, he had a lead. 

The missing piece made Raymond feel like he was starting to grasp the whole truth. 

But the conclusion he reached was so absurd that it made him question his own sanity-like he’d gone crazy from staying up too long. 

First of all, he had already investigated everything about Maya’s life in the orphanage before she turned five. There was no way she could have known Lawrence back then. 

And there was no way she could have figured out anything about her background on her own. 

So why had she said, “I used to hate Lawrence”? 

The key was “used to.” 

How far back did “used to” even go? 

For a six-year-old, would that mean before she turned five? 

He didn’t think so. 

A six-year-old wouldn’t use “used to” to describe something from a little over a year ago. 

That was too far back-so far it didn’t even fit inside a child’s sense of time. 

So there was only one possibility. 

The “used to” she meant wasn’t about her life before five. 

It wasn’t about her past in this life. 

It meant… 

She might have had a past that was far more bizarre and unbelievable. 

For example… 

A past life? 

Raymond’s clasped hands tightened slightly. His dark eyes looked like some kind of bottomless abyss. 

The conclusion was so ridiculous that Raymond held his phone for a long time without speaking. The only sound in the quiet hotel room was his steady breathing. 

Raymond had always been a firm believer in materialism. He believed in science, and he believed that what couldn’t be explained could eventually be answered by science. 

But Maya’s case still made no sense-even with science. 

It wasn’t just small inconsistencies in her words. If Raymond really wanted to list all the strange things about

this little girl, he could fill an entire page. 

He didn’t care what kind of trouble she might bring, and he didn’t care where she came from. 

The first time he met her, he felt like she was a stray cat. 

She tried so hard to smile and please him. 

Back then, he’d thought it was just an instinct she had picked up from being mistreated at the orphanage. 

But that wasn’t right. 

When she first faced him, she had been way too desperate. It was like she was afraid she might be killed the next second. 

On the surface, it could be explained by her desperation to escape the orphanage. 

But that wasn’t the real answer. 

She had actually lived pretty well there. The director favored her, and she had always been the little tyrant among the kids. 

Back then, he even thought the director was making things up. 

He asked a few other children who had been there at the same time. After comparing what they said, he came to a conclusion. The Maya he knew and the Maya from the orphanage were completely different people. 

A normal child wouldn’t feel relieved, or even excited, just because their parents were ordinary. 

And when faced with rich people, her reaction wasn’t timidity or insecurity. 

It was fear. 

Everything pointed him in a strange direction. 

Raymond sorted through his tangled thoughts. After a while, he picked out each detail that felt off and explained them one by one to his wife. 

After listening, Wendy stayed silent for a full three seconds, then beat him to the conclusion. 

“Possession?” 

“Huh?” Raymond never expected his wife’s guess to be even more outrageous than his. 

“Isn’t that what you mean? Maya took over that girl’s body, so their personalities are completely different.” Wendy covered her mouth. “What should we do? Should we act first? Should we deal with the Jacksons before they make a move?” 

She loved watching short dramas. Now that she had subconsciously cast her whole family as the villains, her fingers curled tight, and real worry set in. 

Raymond was stunned speechless,

Chapter 131 Stop Guessing 

“Besides possession, there’s actually another possibility called reborn, Honey,” he said with a sigh 

“Oh…” Wendy paused, a little dazed. “That also seems possible.”

“Alright, stop guessing,” Wendy added after thinking for a moment, already feeling her head start to ache. She hated endless speculation. “Maya said she’ll tell us everything after you come back.” 

“She said that?” Raymond froze. He hadn’t expected that at all. 

Maya was an incredibly guarded child. He had even prepared himself for the possibility that she might hide the truth forever. 

And yet she said she was going to tell them? 

There had been a time when Raymond had desperately wanted his daughter to come clean. He had wanted to dig out every secret she carried. But now that the truth was almost within reach, he found himself not as eager anymore. 

Raymond let out a soft sigh. He rarely wasted emotions on others. 

He hoped Maya’s past would turn out to be a good story. 

Even though he knew it was impossible, he still hoped for it. 

Maya curled herself up tightly like a little silkworm in its cocoon. 

She cried under the blanket for a while, on and off. There was a sense of breaking down, there was shock, but more than anything, she was thinking about how to deal with their relationship. 

What exactly was Lawrence thinking? 

She couldn’t figure it out. 

At that moment, the system suddenly appeared again, completely out of place. 

It told Maya in a cold voice, “His thoughts don’t matter. His intentions don’t matter. What matters is that you can decide whatever you want to do. You don’t need to consider anyone else.”
