The correct answer is Implied malice

Malice is a feminine noun originating from the Latin malitia and that means a propensity or tendency to practice acts of evil.

To act with malice often means to behave with deceit, with cunning and with the aim of deceiving or causing harm to someone.

A person who has an attitude of malice is often disguised, and feigns some feelings to cover up his true intentions.
