She couldn't wait to dig in—and maybe share it with her siblings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait...if she shared the cake with her family...would she get a rebate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora placed the cake on the dining table, carefully removing the packaging to reveal the golden-brown Lotus Biscoff Cake in all its glory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sweet, caramel-like smell filled the room, and her siblings rushed over, their eyes wide with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoa! Where'd you get that?\" Olivia asked, leaning closer to sniff the cake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore popped his head in from the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you rob a bakery or something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora rolled her eyes and sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I didn't rob anyone! I helped an old lady carry her groceries, and she gave me this cake as a thank-you gift.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam, her father, raised an eyebrow as he joined them at the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An old lady gave youthis? Are you sure about that, Aurora?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora nodded quickly, trying to look as innocent as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course! She said she had too many cakes and didn't need this one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam stared at her for a moment longer before shrugging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, if that's the case, let's dig in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora grinned, grabbing a knife and cutting the cake into even slices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She made sure to give herself the biggest piece—it washercake, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here you go!\" she said cheerfully, handing out plates to her siblings and parents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the family enjoyed the cake, compliments flew around the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is amazing!\" Olivia said, her mouth full.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, the best cake I've had in ages!\" Theodore added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora felt a little guilty for lying about the cake, but hearing their praise made her proud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After everyone finished, Aurora cleaned up the table as quickly as possible, her heart pounding with anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting at the desk, she opened the rebate system and started typing in the details. She double-checked everything to make sure it was accurate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you buy? And for whom?\": Cake, for the entire family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much did it cost?\" : $17\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hit submit and waited, her fingers drumming on the desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A notification popped up a second later, and Aurora clicked on it eagerly. But as she read the message, her excitement turned into shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rebate denied. Reason: The item was primarily purchased for personal enjoyment and not as a gift for the family. No rebate applicable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora's jaw dropped. \"WHAT?! No rebate?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reread the message, hoping she'd misunderstood. But it was clear. No rebate, not a single penny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This can't be happening!\" she groaned, slumping in her chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I shared it with them! They loved it! How is this not a gift?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her frustration grew as she thought about how much she'd spent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That cake wasn't cheap, and now she didn't even have the satisfaction of getting her rebate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes filled with tears—not from sadness, but pure, boiling anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stupid system!\" she muttered, pounding her fists lightly on the desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could you do this to me?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, she considered writing an angry email to the rebate service, but she realized it wouldn't change anything since she didn't have their email either!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Aurora flopped onto her bed, staring at the ceiling with a defeated sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next time,\" she muttered, \"I'm eating the whole cake by myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora was heading to her room, still sulking about the rebate fiasco, when she overheard her mom, Mary, talking in the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know what to wear. Everything I have is so old,\" Mary said, her voice a little tired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She peeked around the corner and saw her mom on the phone, probably talking to Aunt Cathy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not like I'm complaining,\" Mary continued, \"but it's been ages since I bought something new. I just don't see the point when there's always something more important to spend on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora's heart sank. She thought about her mom's closet—barely five outfits for parties, and even those were kind of worn out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mom always put the family first, never herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora waited for her mom to finish the call, her mind racing with an idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Mary hung up, Aurora marched into the room with as much confidence as she could muster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom,\" Aurora announced, making Mary jump.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aurora! Don't scare me like that!\" Mary said, placing a hand on her chest. \"What's gotten into you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora ignored the scolding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, I think you should ask my fairy godmother for a $150 clothes gift card.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mary blinked at her daughter like she'd just grown two heads. \"What did you just say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You heard me! My godmother—she's magic, remember? She can totally get you a gift card for new clothes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mary sighed, a mix of amusement and disbelief on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aurora, you're too old to believe in fairy tales. And even if they were real, I wouldn't ask for anything. I'm fine with what I have.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you're not fine, Mom!\" Aurora protested. \"I heard you say it yourself—you don't have anything to wear!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's not the point, Aurora,\" Mary said gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Life isn't about getting everything we want. We make do with what we have.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora pouted but didn't back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just try, Mom. For me? Please?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mary shook her head, smiling softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine. If it makes you happy, I'll... uh... wish for it. I'll wish for a $150 clothes gift card. Happy now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You won't regret it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She darted out of the room before Mary could say anything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, Aurora stood in front of the gift card display at the store, biting her lip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>$150 was a lot of money, and buying this card would leave her with exactly $0 in her bank account.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared at the card for a long time before snatching it up and heading to the register.\u003C\u002Fp>",1021,"2026-06-06T04:03:40.232Z",1,"novelbin.me","881706752ab8730f332ce92918fce683f358e9b4843a6f14649c252dd9c2ce61","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-15","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-13",614,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fborn-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-cover.jpg"]
