Villain’s Favorite 18

 

Chapter 18 Give Me A Break! 

It was obvious Maya had bigger secrets. 

And she wasn’t going to tell them what she’d been through. 

Raymond felt stuck. “Maybe after we spend more time together, Maya will be willing to open up…” But for now, getting the truth would be difficult. 

Wendy could only hope so. 

After all, she was more than willing to solve every problem for her daughter. 

And Wendy’s way of solving problems was getting rid of whoever caused them. 

While the couple spoke in low voices, Toby’s bedroom door cracked open. 

The boy’s pale face lingered in the shadows. Hearing his father had returned, a faint light finally flickered in his usually dull eyes. 

“Dad.” 

He pushed the door open, a trace of urgency slipping into his voice. 

Raymond turned at the sound. 

“You’ve gotten taller.” He reached out and casually ruffled the boy’s soft black hair, not hard, almost gentle. “Looks like your grandpa’s been taking good care of you.” 

Toby’s dark eyes flickered. 

All he could think about was how to get rid of Maya. 

He brushed aside the long bangs on his forehead, revealing the scabbed-over wound beneath. 

It was from a week ago, when Maya had smashed something into him. 

Back then, Wendy had only glanced at it and told him to drink more water. It’d heal in a few days. 

Toby had nearly exploded with anger. Now, he could only hope his father would stand up for him. 

“While you were gone, Maya kept hitting me,” the boy said, trying to sound restrained and wronged, even deliberately toning down his usual venom. “Dad, Maya-“/ 

“Toby.” Raymond cut him off, his hand still resting on his head. 

The boy looked up, meeting his father’s eyes. 

They were similar to his, yet completely different. 

Raymond’s gaze held no gloom, only a cold, empty calm, like a bottomless frozen lake.

Chapter 18 Give Me A Break! 

“You’re 13,” Raymond said evenly. “A 5-year-old needs their father to take back a stolen toy But a 13-year old…” 

He leaned down slightly and smiled. “…should learn to handle things on their own. 

His fingertip tapped lightly against the scar on Toby’s temple. “Or you should accept the fact that you’re not as good as Maya.” 

Toby pressed his lips together tightly. 

I’m nothing like Maya, that ordinary, poor nobody! 

In the end, the boy met his father’s detached, superior gaze in silence. As if he’d finally accepted reality, he clenched his fingers slightly and murmured, “I understand.” 

After that, for a long stretch of time, Maya’s combat ability steadily improved. 

Every time Toby mocked her, Maya would respond with her taekwondo moves. 

If words failed, she’d just beat him up. 

Every single time, he genuinely wanted to kill her. 

But what reached him faster than his killing intent… was Maya’s fist. 

After trying every method of resistance and failing, Toby finally decided to get serious. 

He made a call to his butler. 

Three days later, a slender, brightly colored venomous snake arrived in a temperature-controlled box. After thinking it over, Toby removed the snake’s fangs before releasing it into Maya’s room. 

If this were before, he really would’ve poisoned her. 

But if she died, things would get boring. 

For now, Toby didn’t plan to let her die. 

He quietly hid outside the door, listening to the faint rustling inside, a slight smile curling at his lips. 

He could practically picture Maya screaming in terror any second now. 

Will she cry and call me for help? Beg me for mercy? 

Just imagining it made a flush of excitement creep across his pale face. 

However, five minutes later, the door was yanked open. 

Maya stood there, gripping the snake right behind its head, its body still writhing in her hand.

She met Toby’s gaze and gave a cold smile. 

Then she grabbed his pants and yanked them down. 

Before he could react, she stuffed the wriggling snake straight into them. 

For two full seconds, Toby’s face went completely blank as his pants dropped. 

Then color flooded his pale face. He panicked, shaking the snake out of his pants, his expression cycling rapidly as embarrassment and fury surged up. He started cursing her like crazy, calling her “psycho” and “shameless.” 

She actually pulled my pants down! 

How dare she! 

Toby was shaking with anger. 

Maya bared her teeth and punched him to the ground again. 

Seriously, what is he even embarrassed about? 

It’s not like I pulled down his underwear. 

Give me a break!

“Maya!” Toby braced himself against the floor, his lips pale from the pain of being hit, his expression sharp and furious. “You seriously need to learn some manners. What are you, some uncivilized savage?” 

She actually pulled my pants down? 

Who taught her that? 

The girls Toby knew were all proper, well-mannered ladies. 

A wild girl from an orphanage like this made no sense at all. 

Aside from their first meeting, no matter how angry he got afterward, Toby never tried to physically wrestle with her again.
