I understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adriana bit her lip. She didn’t want to leave things like this. She reached for his hand, squeezing it gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for understanding,\" she whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry looked at her, his eyes softening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t have to thank me,\" he said. \"I’ll wait for you, Adriana. No matter how long it takes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adriana’s heart skipped a beat. She smiled, feeling warmth spread in her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Goodnight, Henry,\" she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry smiled back, giving her hand one last squeeze before letting go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Goodnight, Adriana.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adriana left, but in between, she would turn around and watch him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry would flash a gentle smile in her direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Adriana left completely, he gave one last look at the skyscraper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry drove home, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smile he had given Adriana was long gone, replaced by a smirk of satisfaction. He had played his part well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he pulled up in front of his house, he sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t much—paint peeling off the walls, a broken fence, and an old, rusty mailbox hanging by a thread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The inside wasn’t much better, but at least it was home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he stepped inside, he saw his mother and younger sister sitting on the worn-out couch, watching a soap opera on the small TV.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They turned their heads toward him, their eyes lighting up when they saw him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Henry! You’re home!\" his mother said, sitting up straight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You look tired, honey. Come, sit down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sister, Lucy, scooted over to make room for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you eat? Do you need anything?\" she asked sweetly, her big brown eyes full of fake concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry chuckled and plopped down beside them. He stretched his legs out and leaned back, pretending to be exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m fine, really,\" he said, then looked at them with a mischievous grin. \"But I have some good news.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mother and sister leaned in eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I got five thousand dollars,\" Henry said, keeping his voice casual. \"And guess what? No IOU.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mother gasped, covering her mouth in shock. Lucy’s eyes widened, then sparkled with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No IOU?\" his mother repeated. \"Are you serious?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry nodded, enjoying their reactions. \"Completely serious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucy clapped her hands together, beaming. \"Finally, Henry! You found a rich heiress! Who is she?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry smirked, thinking about the residential area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Her name’s Adriana. She lives in Evergreen Heights.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mother and sister both gasped again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Evergreen Heights?!\" his mother exclaimed. \"Are you joking?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucy whistled in amazement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That place is crazy expensive. One apartment there costs, like, 1.7 million dollars!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry nodded, pretending to be impressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yup. And her father? He must be loaded. Probably making at least twenty million a year to afford a place like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mother leaned back, shaking her head in awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I knew you were smart, Henry, but this... this is genius.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucy grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You did good, big bro. So, what’s next? Are we meeting her? Maybe we can start planning how to—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relax,\" Henry interrupted, laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everything has to go step by step. She trusts me now. That’s all that matters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mother and sister nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But brother...what if she knew that you were lying to her?\" Lucy asked worriedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry chuckled, leaning back against the couch. He stretched his arms, feeling completely at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She won’t find out,\" he said confidently. \"She’s too trusting. Too soft.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucy still looked a little unsure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But what if she does? What if she realizes you’re just using her for money?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry smirked. \"Then I’ll make her believe she’s wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mother laughed softly, patting Henry’s arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s my boy. You always know what you’re doing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucy sighed but nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I guess you’re right. But still, be careful. If her dad is that rich, he might have people watching over her. You don’t want to mess with the wrong people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry rolled his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please, Lucy. She’s just a spoiled rich girl who wants to feel like she’s helping someone. Her dad doesn’t care about her love life. If he did, he’d never let her date a guy like me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mother nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rich people are too busy making money. They don’t have time to worry about who their daughter is dating.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry grinned. \"Exactly. As long as I keep acting like the ’perfect’ boyfriend, everything will go smoothly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucy twirled a strand of her dark hair around her finger, thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, what’s the next step? Are you going to ask for more money?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not yet. If I rushed, she might get suspicious. I’ll wait a little. Maybe tell her some fake story about my ’struggles.’ Then, when the time is right, I’ll ask for more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mother clapped her hands together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Smart boy! That way, she won’t even realize she’s being tricked.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry laughed. \"Exactly. By the time she does, it’ll be too late.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucy giggled. \"I bet she’ll even thank you for ’letting’ her help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry smirked. \"She already has.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them shared a laugh, completely relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Lucy sat up suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, Henry... what if—just saying, what if—you actually start to like her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry froze for a second. Then, he laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Like her? Don’t be ridiculous. She’s just a means to an end. Not to mention people like her don’t deserve to be loved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She is born with a golden spoon in her mouth. The god loves. Since there is someone powerful than me who loves her, then it is not my concern to love her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucy shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m just saying. Sometimes, people catch feelings without realizing it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not me. I know exactly what I’m doing. And I know exactly what I want.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mother smiled proudly. \"And what you want is a better life—for all of us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry nodded. \"Exactly. And thanks to Adriana, we’re one step closer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora watched everything from her distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She saw Adriana getting off from Henry’s bike and Henry trying to kiss Adriana.\u003C\u002Fp>",1007,"2026-06-06T04:03:40.622Z",1,"novelbin.me","43edee11ffeaab152c8d47f0cc9e526d9075bf37c509df359ec791db4bd1b79b","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-128","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-126",614,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fborn-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-cover.jpg"]
