Chapter 143 Testing the WatersÂ
Maybe that was it.Â
He leaned toward the idea that Maya had suddenly wanted to find her biological parents, so she asked the Clarks for help, and that was how they followed the trail and found him.Â
He was very grateful to the Clarks.Â
Really.Â
But that was only as far as gratitude went.Â
For someone like Toby, who was self-centered and reckless, Lawrence wished he would stay as far away from Maya as possible.Â
Facing Lawrence nonstop calling Maya’s name, Toby’s mood turned completely cold.Â
He stepped forward and looked down at the boy clinging to his sister. His tone was so dark it felt like it could drip water. “You shameless poor brat, who are you trying to claim as a relative?Â
“She’s my sister.” He emphasized his words, “My real sister!”Â
Lawrence didn’t expect much from someone who couldn’t even insult properly. He focused on the words “real sister.”Â
How interesting.Â
If he’s Maya’s real brother, then what about me?Â
Clearly, he and Maya were the real family.Â
They grew together in their mother’s womb, shared the same blood, and had the same face.Â
He really didn’t expect that in this world, besides Thomas, there were others who loved lying to themselves.Â
Lawrence suddenly wasn’t angry anymore.Â
Not only was he not angry, but he even found it a little funny. He curved his eyes and let out two short, soft laughs. “Haha…”Â
A simple laugh, but full of sarcasm.Â
Toby’s face turned completely dark.Â
Maya only felt like her head was about to explode.Â
Her brother was hanging on to her, acting dumb and refusing to let go.Â
Toby’s face looked like someone owed him a hefty amount of money.Â
Alfred was standing to the side, watching today’s drama with a calm expression, and no one knew what he was thinking.Â

“Stop. Don’t rush. Things are a mess right now. Let me handle this,” Maya, standing in the center of it all, tried to take control of the situation, calming one side and then the other.Â
First, she reached out, trying to get Lawrence off her.Â
But the moment she shook him off, Lawrence blinked and quickly grabbed her again.Â
Very tightly.Â
Like he was afraid she would run away.Â
Maya was speechless once again.Â
“Just wait for me quietly. I’ll deal with you later.” She couldn’t help but make a face at him, looking a bit mean. “If you dare grab me again, you’re dead!”Â
Just wait to get beaten up.Â
Lawrence blinked lightly, his long lashes trembling a little. Then he lifted his face, his amber eyes shining.Â
It wasn’t fear.Â
It was excitement.Â
“Okay.” His voice was soft. “Please hit me.”Â
Maya was confused.Â
Who turned her brother into this?Â
Maya couldn’t help but shoot him a cold glare, but Lawrence only smiled sweeter.Â
He actually missed the days of being bullied by Maya. But it seems his sister didn’t think the same way. In fact, her originally calm expression looked a bit horrified.Â
Maya took a deep breath and decided to ignore this suddenly strange brother for now.Â
She grabbed Toby and pulled him outside first. Toby seemed to have lost all strength and resistance, lowering his eyes and letting her drag him out.Â
As for Alfred, she met his eyes and said, “Give me some time, let me sort things out, okay? I won’t leave you guys, but I need to talk to Lawrence.”Â
Maya has a very strong personality. If anyone makes her feel like they aren’t worth the effort, she won’t hesitate to take everything back.Â
At the same time, once she chose someone or something, she would stick with it firmly.Â
She won’t be influenced or shaken by anything.Â
Alfred understood her fairly well.Â
After a few seconds, he nodded.Â

Toby, on the other hand, looked at Maya. His gaze held a faint emotion.Â
“You’re Thomas’s daughter.”Â
Toby still regretted not shooting Thomas dead back then.Â
Maya paused for a moment, then admitted calmly, “Yes.”Â
“I thought you had already figured it out.”Â
She really didn’t expect that Toby would actually respect someone’s privacy.Â
“I told you before I came, I have a younger brother.” She paused. “You just didn’t believe me.”Â
Toby was silent for a few seconds.Â
Then he spoke with a strange look on his face. “So what do you plan to do? Since you don’t plan to go with him, how are you going to handle him?”Â
Maya hadn’t fully decided yet. She needed to talk to Lawrence first. She wouldn’t make decisions for him, but if possible, she wanted to bring him back with her.Â
The Jacksons weren’t good at all.Â
He looked like a flower that withered before it even bloomed. He looked weak and a bit yellow, like he hadn’t been eating well.Â
Maya decided to test the waters first. “Do you think I can bring him home? Lawrence has a really good personality.”Â
Toby felt like everything about this situation was strange. Nothing made sense. But he caught one key point. “How do you even know what his personality is like?”Â
