Villain’s Favorite 19

Chapter 19 The Hell Waiting for Her 

Toby was a textbook-rich heir. The etiquette he’d learned under Philbert didn’t allow him to do anything improper. 

The only reason Maya had held the upper hand for so long was that she was shameless enough. 

Half the time, when she pinned him to the ground, he didn’t even bother struggling anymore, just let her hit him. 

Maya shot back, “Did you crawl out of some feudal era or something? You’re the one who needs to learn how to talk. Even a barking dog sounds better than you.” 

In the hallway, the two kids went at it nonstop. 

The siblings traded blows and insults like it was turn-based combat. 

And even though Toby never got the upper hand, he still insisted on provoking Maya every single time. 

Maybe because he’d been sickly all his life, his skin carried that unhealthy pale tone, his whole presence distant and gloomy. 

But strangely enough, every time he ran into Maya, those gloomy eyes of his would light up unnaturally bright. 

Raymond seriously suspected his son had some kind of masochistic streak. 

And just like that, the siblings spent an entire year happily hurting each other. 

Meanwhile, Maya finally graduated from preschool and officially leveled up into a first grader. 

Toby also ended his long leave of absence and returned to that international school packed with elite families’ kids. 

The night before school started, Maya hugged her brand-new uniform and bounced twice in excitement. 

Elementary school! Elementary school! 

This is amazing. 

I’m finally a real student now. 

Compared to Maya’s excitement, the one who got nervous every time school started was actually Wendy. She changed outfits more than ten times and still couldn’t decide what to wear to school the next day. Alfred, like a human machine, gave the same answer no matter what she tried on. “Looks fine.” 

Maya yawned, sitting cross-legged on the couch. “Mom, you look good in everything. You don’t need to keep trying.” 

Wendy was objectively beautiful. Just a swipe of lipstick, her pale skin, delicate features, and that touch of red made her stand out effortlessly.

“But you’re going to Harmony International School,” Wendy said, opening her jewelry box and holding pieces up against herself. “I can’t embarrass you.” 

Wait, what? 

Maya’s sleepiness vanished instantly. She caught the key phrase. “Mom, we’re going to an international school?” 

“Of course.” Wendy turned and smiled gently at her. “The same one Toby goes to. Your dad used a few connections through your grandpa to get you and Alfred in. 

“I’ll tell Toby to take good care of you both.” 

Ahhh!!!! 

Maya felt like screaming. 

If she remembered correctly, Kaia had attended that exact school, from elementary all the way through middle school. 

Maya desperately hoped she was remembering wrong. 

But unfortunately, her memory had always been excellent. 

She still remembered when Kaia graduated, happily showing off her certificate. 

The girl in her cap, wearing an expensive custom uniform, radiated youth and confidence. 

Back then, Maya, who had been homeschooled since she was nine and barely interacted with kids her age, had felt nothing but envy. 

Maya covered her ears. 

She really wanted to believe she’d misheard. 

Still clinging to a tiny shred of hope, she asked, “Then which program are we in?” 

A school like that definitely had more than one program. 

Maya prayed she could avoid her. 

Kaia, as the daughter of the richest family, would definitely be in the international program, a place where wealthy kids tended to cluster. 

Aside from that, there was also the advanced program. 

That one was for top students, the real academic elites who boosted the school’s scores. 

Maya desperately wanted to be placed in the advanced program. 

“Of course, the best international program, sweetheart,” Wendy said matter-of-factly. Her kids were going to the best of the best.

Even if the advanced program had strong students, the resources available to those in the international program were on a completely different level. 

Wendy wanted her children to have the best education possible. 

Maya barely managed to hold back the urge to cry. 

She knew being scared wouldn’t help. 

The only thing she could do was face it. 

“Are you nervous about a new environment?” Alfred asked from the side, noticing her mood. He reached out and patted her head. 

“A little,” Maya admitted. 

She forced herself to think positively. Maybe I can actually make some friends at a school like that. 

Surely things wouldn’t turn out like my last life, where it felt like the whole world was against me. 

Even if I’m complete trash, there has to be at least one loser out there who isn’t picky, right? 

And there was another problem… 

“Alfred…” Maya rolled back and forth on the couch, distressed. “Harmony is basically Toby’s territory, right? He’s definitely gonna mess with me!” 

All her excitement about school had been completely crushed. 

She could practically already picture the hell waiting for her in the days ahead.
