This Time Hi Be the Villain’s Favorite Daughter novel Chapter 8

Chapter 8 Fueled by Pure Hate

At the time, Alfred had even smiled, an expression that could only be described as pleased, while looking at the boy’s twisted, terrified face.

The incident scared the preschool teachers badly.

After the chaos settled, his parents finally realized he wasn’t suited for group environments.

Alfred went back to living at home.

If it weren’t for Maya going to school, he wouldn’t have come back to a place as boring as preschool.

“What a freak.”

“Why is Maya’s brother so weird?”

“He never talks. It’s like he’s mute.”

“Why does Maya always follow him around? He’s so mean to her!”

Sometimes, Maya could hear the other kids whispering about him.

But it didn’t really affect anything.

The two siblings were still stuck together almost every day, inseparable.

After spending more time together, Maya gradually started noticing flaws in Alfred’s personality.

For example, if another kid accidentally bumped into him while playing, he’d shove them straight to the ground without hesitation, wearing a cold, stay away from me expression.

Once, a boy’s remote-control car rolled to his feet.

The moment the boy bent down to pick it up, Alfred crushed it under his foot without mercy.

The boy cried his eyes out, while Alfred’s eyes curved slightly in rare amusement.

Maya began to question her entire worldview.

Maybe Alfred isn’t some awkward pseudo-human…. Maybe he’s just straight-up a bad person.

With how obnoxious he is, the only reason he hasn’t been bullied yet is probably because rich kids have better manners.

“Alfred.” Maya filled up his water bottle and pushed it toward him, deciding she needed to say something.

The little girl sat upright, serious. “Can you tone it down a bit? I feel like the teachers are getting mad at us.”

Maya didn’t say “mad at you.” She deliberately said “us.”

In reality, the teachers all liked her, but she didn’t want to create distance between them, so she used “us,” as if they were accomplices.

Alfred picked up on that subtle detail, and it put him in a slightly better mood. “I already am holding back

“This is me holding back.”

Maya paused. “I don’t even wanna imagine what you’re like when you’re not.”

Her sarcasm was so obvious that even someone like Alfred could understand it. He tilted his head, confused, and tugged at her cheek. “Are you mad at me because of them?”

Maya’s face got pulled out of shape. She slapped his hand away, fed up. “I’m not.”

She stood up and left her seat, a little annoyed.

A girl who usually played with her quickly pulled her aside and whispered, “Maya, can you stop hanging around your brother all the time? I think he’s… really weird. He’s kinda scary.”

Maya blinked. “Is he?”

She didn’t think he was scary. Alfred had always been like this.

“It’s true!” Lily Schwartz said anxiously. “Everyone’s talking about staying away from him. The teacher’s even planning to separate your seats.”

Alfred’s completely unchecked behavior had made the teachers realize something was wrong.

The kids attending Kingsley all came from wealthy families. Every single one was their family’s precious treasure. If anything happened, the teachers would be the ones held responsible.

The best solution was to isolate Alfred.

Maya pouted. “But I don’t wanna change seats.”

“Why not?” Lily couldn’t understand at all. In a child’s logic, you were supposed to stay away from the bad kid.

Maya didn’t think she could explain it, so she just smiled and waved her hand. “Okay, Lily, I’ll go talk to my brother.”

She turned and ran back to her seat, repeating what the teacher had said about switching seats.

After hearing it, Alfred didn’t comment.

He just stared straight at Maya. “Do you wanna sit with them?”

Maya did, actually!

She didn’t have many friends yet, and in her mind, changing seats wasn’t a big deal. They still saw each other all the time at home anyway.
