This Time, I'll Be the Villain's Favorite Daughter novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12 Let’s Not Take It That Far

That wasn’t even the worst part.

Finished

When Maya pulled back the covers, there was a skinned, bloodied mass on the bed. The metallic scent of rust filled the entire room.

The whole place looked like a horror movie set

As for who did this, she could figure it out without even thinking.

Maya took a deep breath, forcing down the urge to scream, repeating to herself over and over.

Stay calm. Stay calm.

Even if I tell Mom now, the most Toby will get is a half-hearted scolding that doesn’t hurt at all.

Compared to tattling, getting revenge on the spot is the better solution.

After years of dealing with scumbags, Maya knew that well.

ust as she was thinking about how to strike back, the door opened. Toby leaned lazily against the frame, a mug smile on his pale face. His chin was slightly raised, his tone dripping with disdain. “Poor girl.

These clothes Mom bought you, you probably never even saw anything like them in that orphanage, ight?”

From the bottom of his heart, he looked down on Maya.

Why should an orphan like her get all of this so easily?

Even my favorite little brother is siding with her.

The corner of his lips curled upward, his voice softening as he dragged out the last syllable. “Do you like my gift, Maya?”

Seeing her suffer was the only thing that amused him now.

Maya, once again on the receiving end of his mockery, said nothing.

Today, I’m absolutely going to go all out against this jerk.

Ignoring his childish taunts, Maya shoved past him, hard enough to make Toby stumble.

She had a clear goal. She went straight downstairs to find Alfred.

First, she needed an ally

Alfred was the best brother.

Maya grabbed Alfred, who was still helping her with homework, with that blank, machine-like expression, her eyes turning red instantly. She took a breath. “Alfred, Toby cut up all my clothes.

“He even put a skinned animal on my bed.”

Alfred’s gaze lingered on the tears pooling in her eyes for two seconds “Don’t cry.”

Every time she cried, it irritated him.

But this time, Maya was genuinely upset, not for herself, but for Raymond and Wendy.

Wendy had spent so long carefully picking out those dresses.

Raymond worked so hard too, always looking like he was dying from exhaustion.

And just because Toby didn’t like her, all of it was destroyed.

Maya’s mood had clearly sunk.

Alfred grabbed her, lips pressed together, and said quietly, “Stop crying. It’s annoying.”

Without looking back, he took her hand and led her upstairs. “Come to my room first. If the blood soaks nto your mattress, it won’t be easy to clean anytime soon. Even with new sheets, the smell will stay. Sleep with me tonight.”

He was genuinely worried that lunatic Toby would try something again in the middle of the night.

Remember? I said I’d help you.”

Compared to Maya’s distress, Alfred’s voice was eerily calm.

Maya gave a muffled hum.

The two kids ran upstairs hand in hand, like they were plotting something big.

Wendy looked up and saw them, covering her mouth with a smile as she murmured to herself, “Ah, so ute. My babies.”

Daughters really are the best.

This was Maya’s first time in Alfred’s room.

Unlike the stereotypical messy boy’s room, his space was just like him, clean and orderly.

Books were neatly arranged on the desk, alongside some unknown specimen slides.

He opened a large box filled with mechanical parts.

Soon, Alfred pulled out a stick. “We can use this on him. I already charged it.”

Maya froze. “Wait, that’s a stun baton, isn’t it?”

Alfred tilted his head in that robotic way of his. “Is that a problem?”

He thought using this to beat up Toby would be perfect.

Maya gave him a thumbs-up. “You’re amazing.

“But maybe let’s not take it that far.”

Toby was weak enough that one shock might actually kill him.
