Chapter 120 That Strange FamilyÂ
As far as Lawrence was concerned, Kaia had no right to talk about who had been here first.Â
FimistonÂ
The one who had truly come first was forgotten, forced to struggle through all those years while enduring cold looks and constant bullying.Â
Kaia had taken everything that belonged to Maya, growing up in luxury, showered with love and care, never once knowing hardship.Â
Now she has the nerve to stand here and cry about being here first?Â
Hearing Lawrence’s words, Kaia sobbed even harder.Â
She didn’t understand what was happening. The two of them had always been close, so she didn’t understand why he was treating her this way now that he had a biological sister.Â
Did all those years mean nothing to him?Â
I don’t want this either.Â
I wasn’t given a choice.Â
“If you had even a little bit of shame, you’d leave on your own,” Lawrence said, ignoring Thomas as he picked up the knife. His voice was softer now, “Since you can’t bring yourself to leave…”Â
He laughed, his tone almost turning gentle, “Then stay.”Â
Fine, stay. Lawrence thought.Â
Lawrence had no intention of making this easy for anyone.Â
However, hearing this, Kaia foolishly thought that Lawrence was ready to accept her again.Â
She looked up at him, breaking into a smile through her tears.Â
Two weeks passed, and Kaia still refused to return to school. She couldn’t face Maya or accept that she was the one who had stolen someone else’s place.Â
For now, Lawrence didn’t have time for her.Â
He was getting ready to leave the house.Â
“Lawrence, where are you going?” Thomas asked calmly./Â
Ever since that day, a strange atmosphere had lingered in the house. Thomas had also become more cautious in everything he did. Without turning around, Lawrence answered, “I’m just going to the school gate to see her from a distance.”Â
He paused, then added, “I just need to see her.”Â

Chapter 120 That Strange FamilyÂ
Lawrence hadn’t planned on approaching Maya.Â
At least for now, he wasn’t ready to meet her.Â
However, this wasn’t the most pressing matter on his mind.Â
What bothered him was the strange family that had adopted Maya.Â
On paper, everything looked good.Â
Her adopted mother was a housewife, while her adopted father was a corporate worker.Â
However, on the next page of the background check, he had seen a familiar name.Â
Alfred Clark.Â
That strange assassin?Â
Lawrence’s hand started shaking, and he dug his nails into his palm.Â
In his last life, Alfred had told him a little about his family.Â
Alfred had three brothers.Â
One of his older brothers was Toby.Â
Lawrence thought of the assassin Alfred from his past life, who seemed to be barely human, and Toby, who was an elite and untouchable man. His breathing turned ragged, and he nearly lost it on the spot.Â
Where the hell did she find such a strange family?Â
Lawrence crouched in the shadow of the alley corner, like he didn’t belong in the light.Â
He had been waiting in this spot for a whole week.Â
At first, he’d considered hiring someone to keep watch for him.Â
After all, there was nothing that money couldn’t buy.Â
However, after an entire week, all of them had messed up. They had either lost sight of who they were following or had no useful information.Â
He had also tried to ask some of the Harmony International School students for information, but he hadn’t gotten anything useful either.Â
Honestly, if Maya had been adopted by any other normal family, he wouldn’t be this anxious or have the urge to go see her.Â
However, of all people, she had somehow gotten picked by this strange family.Â
This was Alfred after all.Â
As much as Lawrence could remember, he was barely human.Â

Chapter 120 That Strange FamilyÂ
No matter what the topic of conversation was, Alfred could kill it in a matter of seconds.Â
He had almost no empathy and very flat emotions. Even after getting to know Lawrence and hearing everything he had been through, he had merely shrugged, saying, “That’s pretty unfortunate… Lucky for me, I was never that miserable”.Â
No person would react this way.Â
Once, Alfred had come to him wearing a white shirt and a fitted brown vest, looking as if he had just come from a killing. He said calmly, “At the end of the day, your lives are so miserable because of those people getting in the way. If you killed them, there wouldn’t be so many problems. There’s no use in being afraid or crying.”Â
As far as Alfred was concerned, even the most powerful people would break down and cry without any dignity when faced with the threat of death. As such, relying on anyone else was useless, and only holding a knife in one’s own hand could give a sense of absolute safety.Â
More than once, Alfred had tried to convince him to kill someone.Â
However, even if he was a monster, Lawrence had to admit that Alfred was right.Â
No one had listened to him in his past life.Â
He’d pleaded bitterly with them not to treat someone he cared about that way, and not to bully herÂ
anymore.Â
However, at the end of the day, all his pleading and crying had been futile.Â
Then, they should all die together.Â
Lawrence watched quietly for two days.Â
Usually, Maya and Alfred would go to and from school together.Â
The same car would drop them off and pick them up.Â
Based on this alone, it was safe to say that her family was doing pretty well.Â
