Chapter 113 The Shameless Thief
“It looked amazing.”
Of course it did. It was his stuff. How could it not look good?
Maya fell silent.
Was it just her imagination?
It sounded like Toby was grinding his teeth when he spoke.
Toby hooked a finger under the thin chain around her neck and looked it over for a couple of seconds. After finally confirming something, and seeing that her happiness did not seem fake at all, he calmed down a little.
“I also have a pair of bracelets that were made from the same set as this necklace. I’ll have someone bring them to you when we get home.”
Maya instantly caught the meaning in his words. “A set? How would you have the full set?”
“That’s a great question.” Toby’s expression stayed calm, and there was even a trace of absurd composure in his voice. “Because the bastard who stole it took it from my collection room.”
Before she could finish being shocked, Toby had already started coldly judging George in a lofty tone.
“Inherited the family business? Should I understand that as his father being a thief, and he’s a thief too? Maybe his whole family is a bunch of thieves.”
As he spoke, Toby let out a cold laugh.
“What a fine family business.”
Maya went silent.
She could not help taking a sharp breath.
“This was… yours?”
“Otherwise, what made you think that broke loser could ever get his hands on something like this?”
He let out a short laugh. “That kind of freeloader who steals food everywhere he goes? He probably survives by living off the wind and gets diarrhea from it.”
The bitterness in Toby’s words was practically overflowing.
Maya could not say anything either.
She was completely stunned.
She had seen shameless people before, but never anyone this shameless.

He had stolen from her brother.
How had he dared to act confideftly and cali it a gift for her?
Who gave him that kind of nerve?
Toby saw her hanging her head in a dazed little state and fet; this might be a good educational moment.
He reached out and gently wrapped an arm arothad her, pulling Maya so that her head rested against ox chest.
In more than a year, Maya really had grown slowly.
“Everyone who gets close to you has ulterior motives. You can’t be careless around everyone.
n
His voice came from above her head, carrying a trace of fatigue that was hard to notice. “Any man who tries to get close to you should take a bullet first. Then you tell him our family rule is that before anyone can be friends with you, they need to get shot once to prove themselves.”
Maya’s face was pressed against him, and she could not help making one last attempt to defend herself.
“I really didn’t mean it like that. I wasn’t trying to speak up for him. I don’t even like him.”
She was just helpless when it came to dangerous people like that.
If she unfortunately ran into one, what else could Maya do besides act dumb in front of him?
It was not like she could point at his face and call him an extremist criminal who belonged in prison.
If she dared to do that, the one sleeping underground the next second would be her.
“Toby, why do you always love lecturing me so much?” Maya hugged him, unable to understand.
She never saw Toby trying to lecture Alfred.
“I can judge things for myself. You don’t need to manage me?
Really.
Maya felt like every time it involved her, Toby got furious enough to die.
“I’ve never understood why you’re so bad at relying on other people to solve problems when you’re just a little kid.”
He seemed genuinely confused as he stared at her, mouth slightly open, muttering to himself
“An early rebellious phase?”
Maya said, “You’re the one with a rebellious phase. I’m only six.”
As soon as she said it, her feet suddenly left the ground.
She was picked up completely.

Not like when he normally led her by the hand, but actually lifted sohdly into the air like a sack of tiny
potatoes.
Toby kept talking to himself. “I’m definitely going to kill that drifter guy. And you won’t need to look for any friends after this. Anyone who gets close to you has bad intentions”
Maya dangled in his arms and lightly kicked her legs, but she did not answer.
