No one moved. The tension was so thick it was suffocating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"PFFT—HAHAHAHA!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laughter exploded in the hall like thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did she just say she is Miss Dawn?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of joke is this?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where did this nobody come from? Is she crazy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The businessmen clutched their stomachs, wiping away tears of laughter. Even some of the guards holding Alex down couldn’t help but smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nora, who had been sweating in panic, suddenly realized something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one believed Aurora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she had been scared at first, the laughter of the crowd gave her an idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had originally lied to those fools, that she had hired a stand-in for herself and now she just needs to extend the act and present real Dawn as the stand-in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, Nora pretended to be calm and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This...lady is telling the truth. She is Dawn! The real one! Yes, the real one. Please don’t mock her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper was confused, he turned toward Zain who instantly whispered to him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The woman in the beige suit is the imposter hired by Miss Dawn. Miss Dawn wants to see everyone’s real face and hence...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper’s eyes flashed with understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, so that’s how it is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His lips curled into a smirk as he nodded slightly. \"I see... I see...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The businessmen, still laughing, looked confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? What is happening?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Nora is saying that woman is really Dawn?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s impossible! She’s just some random nobody!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nora raised her hand and then turned toward Aurora, with a fake gentleness she said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We all believe you are Miss Dawn, right Mr. Green?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper raised an eyebrow and chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you’re telling me this lady in the beige suit is really Miss Dawn? How interesting...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to Aurora with fake respect and did a small bow. \"I deeply apologize if we offended you, Miss Dawn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his mocking tone made it clear—he still didn’t believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other businessmen quickly caught on and laughed along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, yes! We are so sorry for not recognizing the great Miss Dawn!\" one man snickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha! Such an honor to meet the real Miss Dawn!\" another man laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their voices were filled with sarcasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one truly believed Aurora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora’s brows furrowed. She kept on feeling that everyone was only faking the respect they were giving her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It doesn’t matter. Just let that young man go. I want to have a talk with him in person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nora was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does Dawn truly know Eldest Young Master Green?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If yes then...they were f*cked up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a cautious voice she asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Dawn, do you know this gentleman?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\" Aurora shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nora heaved a sigh of relief before saying in the familiar gentle voice,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then please forget about him Miss Dawn, he is not worth your time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora finally realized what was amiss in Nora’s tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nora’s sounded as if she was a mother who was guiding a stupid child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a frown, Aurora said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did I ask for your opinion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room went silent again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nora’s smile stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The way Aurora spoke... was cold, and powerful. Like she was someone standing above all of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The businessmen looked at each other, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper’s smirk twitched for a second before he quickly recovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh my, Miss Dawn is quite...direct,\" he said, pretending to be polite, but his tone was mocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But Miss Dawn, please don’t take it the wrong way. Miss Nora is only worried for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, yes!\" A businessman laughed awkwardly. \"Miss Nora has always been kind and gentle!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nora quickly nodded and smiled again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Miss Dawn. I only wanted to help you. This man is nothing but trouble, I—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora’s voice was calm but sharp like a knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Jasper’s expression darkened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nora’s face paled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora took a step forward, her cold eyes locking onto Nora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t need your fake kindness,\" she said. \"And I don’t need you to speak for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The businessmen gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How dare she talk to Miss Nora like that?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who does she think she is?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But some of them suddenly felt nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this woman was truly Miss Dawn... then they just laughed at her earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora turned to the men holding Alex down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let him go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, Miss Dawn, you must not understand the situation. My brother made a mistake, and he must apologize properly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The businessmen nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes! He should kneel and apologize!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kneel!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kneel!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chanting started again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora’s expression didn’t change, but there was a cold glint in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A second later—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wooden floor beneath her feet shattered into small pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t Aurora...but Nora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tone was chilly as she said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since Miss Dawn is asking for something you all should give it, or is it that you all know some news.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At her words, everyone panicked and one by one businessmen quickly shut their mouths. The laughter, the mocking—it all disappeared in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of them turned pale. Some nervously looked at Jasper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper’s smirk faded for real this time. His eyes darkened as he stared at Nora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nora’s voice was light, but there was a sharpness hidden beneath it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you hesitating?\" she asked, tilting her head. \"Is there something you all know that I don’t?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her words hinted that everyone knew about her real identity as Dawn and knew that Aurora was her stand-in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, she was scared, what if Aurora caught on her words, and cleared the misunderstanding?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She would be doomed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The businessmen immediately shook their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No! No! We wouldn’t dare!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course not, Miss Nora!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We were just confused, that’s all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nora smiled, but it didn’t reach her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good,\" she said. Then she turned to the guards. \"Let him go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards didn’t dare to hesitate anymore. They instantly let go of Alex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex coughed and rubbed his wrists, giving Nora a long look before stepping beside Aurora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper clenched his fists. His control over the situation was slipping. He had to do something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly, he put on his usual smirk and clapped his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well! Since Miss Dawn and Miss Nora both agree, then of course, we must listen!\" he said with fake enthusiasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The businessmen all nodded quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whatever Miss Dawn and Miss Nora say!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper turned to Alex, his eyes cold but his smile polite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My dear brother, you’re free to go,\" he said. \"But I do hope you’ll behave better next time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex didn’t even look at him. He turned to Aurora instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora glanced at him, then looked back at Nora. \"Miss...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nora.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Nora,\" she said, voice calm. \"You seem to have quite a bit of influence here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nora’s fingers twitched slightly, but her smile remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why, Miss Dawn, you flatter me,\" she said sweetly. \"I only do what’s best for everyone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora chuckled. \"Is that so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something about the way she said it made Nora’s heart tighten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper, who had been watching, suddenly smiled again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well then!\" he said loudly. \"Now that the matter is settled, why don’t we all enjoy the party again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The businessmen quickly nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, yes! Let’s drink!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget about this little misunderstanding!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tension in the room didn’t disappear, but everyone pretended it did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora didn’t say anything else. She simply turned around and walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex followed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they reached Aurora’s seat, Aurora sat down and motioned for Alex to sit down too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex nervously sat down and looked at Aurora with curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when Aurora thought he would ask for investment, Alex said gratefully,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you so much for saving me, Miss Dawn! You...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then suddenly he paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... what?\" Aurora raised an eyebrow, waiting for Alex to finish his sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex scratched the back of his head awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh... you really saved me back there. If it weren’t for you, I’d probably be on the floor right now, eating dust.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora chuckled lightly. \"You seem to get into trouble a lot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex sighed. \"Yeah, you could say that. My dear brother loves making my life difficult.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your brother,\" she said, tapping her fingers on the table, \"doesn’t like you very much, does he?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex scoffed. \"That’s an understatement. He wants to crush me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora hummed in thought. \"And why is that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex leaned back, staring at the ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because I exist. He thinks I’m a threat to his position. Even though I don’t care about fighting for the family business, he still sees me as a problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora took a sip of her drink, her eyes thoughtful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must have done something to make him that scared of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex laughed bitterly. \"I guess being born was enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a short silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know someone who is in a similar situation as you.\" Aurora chuckled as she thought about Alex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s your name by the way?\" Aurora asked.\u003C\u002Fp>",1504,"2026-06-06T04:03:40.622Z",1,"novelbin.me","9863d7a86944e395420abc641da7de15f90cfb0ab328f4d90205e93b3cc40152","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-117","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-115",614,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fborn-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-cover.jpg"]
