This Time Hi Be the Villain’s Favorite Daughter novel Chapter 14

Chapter 14 Ship Ship

Maya didn’t care about the brothers’ drama. She lifted the scissors and lined them up against his soft curls, measuring.

Leaning closer, her voice turned soft and syrupy. “Toby, you wouldn’t want my hand to slip and stab you, right?”

Toby, who had been struggling, froze instantly.

Sure enough, he didn’t dare move anymore.

Maya grabbed his curls and went snip snip without mercy. His once neat, gentlemanly hairstyle was destroyed in just a few cuts, turning into a complete mess.

After getting her revenge, Maya felt much better. Seeing Toby on the verge of exploding, she grabbed Alfred’s hand, and the two kids bolted from the scene.

They left Toby behind, shouting like a betrayed husband. “Untie me!”

In the end, it was Wendy who rescued him. She stood there with her hands on her hips, looking at her son wrapped up like a mummy, her temples throbbing.

“Did Alfred do this?”

“It was Maya!” he said without hesitation. “She did everything, Mom. It hurts all over…”

The boy’s eyes were already red, his pale, broodingly handsome face looking especially fragile, trying to win his mother’s sympathy that way.

But Wendy’s expression didn’t change.

She knew perfectly well it was all an act.

Wendy turned and headed for Maya’s room. “I’ll go get Maya.”

She wanted to see exactly what these kids had been up to.

Toby’s innocent expression flickered. He suddenly remembered that Maya’s room was still a complete mess.

“Wait, Mom!”

But it was too late.

Along with Wendy’s sharp shout, all three kids were called into the living room.

Maya glanced at his butchered haircut and sat on the other end of the couch, feeling a little guilty.

Alfred sat right next to her.

Toby also took one look at Wendy’s dark expression and immediately squeezed onto the same couch with them.

The three of them sat in a row, heads lowered, like little chicks waiting to be judged.

“Who did this?” she pointed at Toby’s uneven hair.

Maya cautiously raised her hand.

Wendy nodded. “Good. And your room, who did that?”

Even if Maya didn’t say it, she already knew the answer.

“It was Toby.” Maya immediately perked up. “Mom, he cut up all the dresses you bought me.”

“Mom, she hit me!” Toby pointed at his face. “Doesn’t that count for anything?”

Maya wasn’t backing down. She repeated his crimes, justified and clear. “Mom, he cut all my clothes.

“I won’t even have anything to wear to school tomorrow.

“The kids at school will laugh at me, say I have no clothes, and say my hair’s all messy.”

Toby’s instincts told him something was wrong.

The way Wendy was looking at him, her killing intent was practically visible.

Color rushed into Toby’s pale face as he shouted, “Shut up!”

Chapter 14 Fragde Peace

Maya yelled even louder, “No! You cut my clothes and tried to scare me with a dead animal!”

The two kids shouted over each other.

Maya figured that when dealing with someone this crazy, yelling was the most effective tactic.

Didn’t matter who was right. Louder wins.

He could probably piss himself off just by hearing it.

Wendy smoothed her hair. By now, she had completely calmed down.

She snapped a photo and sent it to her husband on his business trip.

The caption read, “The house is a complete mess.”

After putting her phone away, Wendy’s patience was gone. She knew exactly what kind of person her son

was.

She sighed, almost helpless, looking at the boy who had been frail since childhood.

Smack!

Without warning, she raised her hand and slapped him hard across the face.

In an instant, everything went silent.

Wendy didn’t hold back at all. The boy’s pale face flushed red immediately as she said softly, “Behave, okay, Toby? You wouldn’t want to make things hard for me, right?”

Toby turned his head. The eyes that were usually filled with gloom and madness were now completely blank.

He blinked slowly. Instead of anger, tears fell first.

His gaze settled on Wendy.

If you looked closely into those pitch-black eyes, there was nothing inside, just emptiness.

He didn’t understand.

Why did Mom hit me?

Am I not her real child?

“Uh, he looks like he’s about to fall apart.” Maya was stunned. She’d thought he was some fearless, mentally unbreakable psycho.

Alfred didn’t like that. He didn’t want Toby taking Maya’s attention, so he immediately said in a flat tone, “Feeling bad for a man ruins your life, Maya.”

Maya froze.
