His sharp eyes met the driver’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who sent you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver hesitated. \"The madam, of course, Young Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Berrycloth’s eyes darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Madam asked you to force her into a car?\" His voice was smooth but held a sharp edge, like a blade hidden in silk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver broke into a cold sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, no, Young Master! This is a misunderstanding! I was merely trying to—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish his sentence, Young Master Berrycloth turned to his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take care of it,\" he ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of nowhere, two men in suits materialized, seizing the driver by both arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-Wait!\" the driver stammered, his face going pale. \"I-I was just following orders! You have no right—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could say another word, one of the men knocked him out with a single, efficient strike to the neck. The driver crumpled to the ground, unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora watched, wide-eyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Damn. This guy doesn’t play around.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Berrycloth let out another sigh, turning his gaze back to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now then,\" he murmured, shaking his arm again. \"Let go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora realized she was still clutching his leg like her life depended on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So much for an elegant first impression.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She scrambled to her feet, dusting off her clothes and awkwardly adjusting them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She met his gaze with the most grateful, innocent expression she could muster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You saved me,\" she whispered, pressing a hand to her chest like a damsel straight out of a romance drama.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master Berrycloth, I owe you my life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Berrycloth arched a perfect brow, his icy blue eyes regarding her with something between amusement and irritation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\" she insisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please, let me repay you! I—\" she stopped herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Wait. What if this guy is worse than my stepmother? What if I just threw myself from one bad situation into another?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She swallowed, suddenly unsure of how to proceed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Who exactly is this man? And why did the driver look so terrified when he saw him?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Berrycloth tilted his head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was calm, but there was a distinct warning in his tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if he was allowing her a chance to explain before deciding whether or not to deal with her the same way he dealt with the driver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora forced a nervous smile. \"I... I’m Aurora. And I’d really appreciate it if you—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are not Aurora Waters.\" Young Master Berrycloth narrowed his eyes, his words were laced with suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora blinked before giving a toothy grin and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you saying, Young Master Berrycloth? I have lost my memories, and I don’t know what type of person I was before. Currently, I am acting on my instincts. Maybe I was like this all along, and you have misunderstood my previous self...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Berrycloth’s sharp gaze didn’t waver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He studied her intently, as if trying to strip away her words layer by layer to find the truth buried underneath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His lips curled into something that was neither a smile nor a frown, just an expression of quiet calculation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so?\" His voice was smooth, almost mocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You expect me to believe that a single head injury has turned you into an entirely different person?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora forced herself to nod confidently, despite the sweat gathering at the nape of her neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. Memory loss is a serious thing, you know. I woke up and had no idea who I was! But now, I think I prefer who I am now. So... let’s just forget about the past, shall we?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She offered him a sheepish grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t smile back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he reached forward so suddenly that Aurora flinched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead of grabbing her, he simply tilted her chin up, his thumb barely brushing her skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His piercing gaze studied every inch of her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re a terrible liar.\" His words were quiet, but they sent a shiver down her spine. \"You truly don’t remember anything?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora saw her chance and seized it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not a thing!\" she declared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Total blank slate. So, if I’ve ever done anything to upset you, I sincerely apologize. It wasn’t me—it was past me! And I bet past me was an absolute pain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Berrycloth didn’t react immediately. He simply turned, walking toward his car, leaving Aurora standing there awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Follow me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora frowned. \"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped, and without turning around, he said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you don’t, I won’t stop them from finishing what they started.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora sighed, brushing off invisible dust from her sleeves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Well, if I had to pick between my stepmother’s thugs and a ridiculously handsome but terrifying man, I’d go with the rich, scary one. At least he has taste.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took a deep breath and then hurried after him, slipping into the sleek black car behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the door shut, the air inside felt heavy. Tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Berrycloth leaned back, crossing one long leg over the other, his gaze still locked on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The way he studied her made her skin prickle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aurora what are your secret fantasies?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eh? Secret fantasies?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora was taken a aback, before her face turned red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah! She had heard some of the girls discussing this question when she was still in junior high school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora blinked, convinced she must have misheard him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I’m sorry, what?\" she asked, her voice slightly higher than usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Berrycloth didn’t blink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You said you have no memories of your past self. Then tell me—what are your secret fantasies?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her cheeks warmed. \"That’s... um, kind of personal, don’t you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His lips twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You were about to declare a life debt to me a moment ago. I’d say we’re already at an advanced stage in our relationship.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She huffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s not the same thing! It was gratitude! Not—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stopped herself, suddenly unsure how to explain without embarrassing herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Berrycloth raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I saved you from your stepmother’s thugs, didn’t I? If your memory is really gone, shouldn’t I at least know the kind of person you are now? Your dreams, your desires, your... fantasies?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1033,"2026-06-06T04:03:40.622Z",1,"novelbin.me","a61c29b17c8a1047ac9886a188be022e5b7146153cff65ac86166cd296c14062","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-424","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-423",614,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fborn-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-cover.jpg"]
