Villain’s Favorite 78

Chapter 78 The Search Begins 

He acted as if he didn’t notice her tears pouring down. His voice, rushed and pressing, sounded almost aggressive: 

“Kaia, let me ask you. In your class, is there a boy and a girl that are always together. Maybe they are siblings?” 

He remembered the last glance he caught-two children leaning close to each other. 

However, that girl’s father had been dressed very simply. He didn’t look like someone who could afford the high tuition of the international program. 

Maybe they weren’t in the international program? Maybe they were from the advanced program next door? 

No matter what, Kaia was his most direct source for a lead right now. 

Kaia was still upset and throwing a tantrum. She turned her head away, her voice choked with tears. “I don’t want to talk to you anymore!” 

Thomas’s patience was completely gone. Years of searching, combined with that moment of huge hope and loss, surged in his heart at once. 

Seeing his daughter crying in front of him made him lose control of his emotions. 

He almost roared, “Tell me now!” 

That shout made Kaia tremble. She even forgot to cry, left only with uncontrollable hiccups. 

She looked at her father’s face, which looked scary because he was so desperate. She shrank back in fear and stammered her answer: 

“I-I don’t remember. There are… there are a lot of them in our class…” 

Students in the international program came from complicated backgrounds. Many were related to each 

other. 

After all, rich families tend to have rich relatives. 

The classroom was full of siblings, cousins, and distant relatives. The social network was very messy. 

Kaia herself wasn’t very observant, nor did she have a good memory. 

She paid more attention to who treated her well and who stayed around her. 

Thomas almost forgot that this daughter of his had never been very smart. 

But Kaia was just too dumb. 

It had been over a month and she couldn’t even remember her classmates clearly. 

He had an excellent memory, and his wife had sharp observation skills. In that regard, Lawrence had inherited the best of both and was a truly smart child.

Chapter 78 The Search Begins 

Facing Kaia’s dullness again so suddenly, Thomas took a deep breath, telling himself to stay calm. 

Maybe that girl just looked a bit similar. 

Over the years, it wasn’t like he hadn’t seen girls who resembled Lawrence. 

There were many across the country. 

Finished 

If his daughter had really been trafficked or taken in by some organization, it shouldn’t be this coincidental. 

In that moment, Thomas thought of many things. 

But, he still couldn’t convince himself to let it go. 

With doubt and unwillingness in his heart, Thomas quickly called his assistant and private investigators. 

“Go check,” his voice was calm and clear through the phone. “I want the enrollment files and family background information of every girl in the international program and advanced program of the elementary division at Harmony International School. Right now.” 

After that, Thomas adjusted his breathing again and clenched his phone tightly. 

Every second of waiting for a reply felt extremely long. 

After leaving the school gate, Raymond rubbed his neck and said in a light tone, “See? Dad runs fast, right? You two little ones were sleeping so soundly.” 

It had been a long time since he had experienced the pain of being forced to sit through something like that. 

Raymond was actually a very patient person. When getting close to a target, he could prepare and wait all day if needed. But no matter how patient someone was, no one could stand the boredom of a parent- teacher meeting. 

There wasn’t even any phone signal. 

That was just cruel! 

“It was fast,” Maya said. “But Dad, you ran too fast! It was like a ghost was chasing you.” 

“Can’t help it, I hate school,” Raymond laughed. 

Alfred finally found some common ground with his father. 

“I hate it too.” 

The father and son were clearly both people who disliked school. 

Maya was very interested in digging into her dad’s shady past. She skipped lightly in front of him. “So Dad, were your grades really bad in school?”

It felt like when her dad was younger, he spent all his time thinking about causing trouble. 

Raymond smiled and tapped her little head. “Wrong. I could get full marks with my eyes closed.” 

He wasn’t lying about that. 

Maya pursed her lips, looking a bit down. “I hate smart people!” 

Raymond laughed. 

This was why having a daughter was fun; no matter what he said, she always gave him a lively reaction. 

“Alright, I’m kidding. Actually, I’m a fool too.” He patted her head. “Let’s go, let’s go. We’re heading home.” 

Maya held her dad’s hand and grabbed her brother’s hand too. She flashed a bright smile. “Yeah, let’s go home.” 

Late at night, Thomas sat at his computer desk for a long time. Finally, his encrypted email pinged. With a shaking hand, he clicked it open. 

One by one, photos of girls’ profiles flashed across the screen.
