Yet he showed a remorseful expression on his face and said to Adam Waters,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am sorry for all the things I had said...I was blinded by grief. You know I have a mother who is hospitalized. I just...couldn’t help but become greedy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam Waters looked at Adam Price, his eyes narrowing a little. He didn’t trust him—not after everything that had just happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I get it,\" Adam Waters said slowly. \"But lying and trying to tear me down wasn’t the way to handle it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam Price nodded quickly, looking all desperate and sad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know. I messed up, big time. And I’m really sorry.\" His voice even cracked a little, like he was about to cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of the workers glanced at each other, looking uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few even looked like they were feeling bad for Adam Price now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just wanted a chance to prove myself,\" Adam Price continued, his voice shaky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everything I did... it was wrong. But I just wanted to help my mom. She’s all I’ve got.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam Waters bit his lip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Adam Price was a jerk, it was hard not to feel bad about the whole sick mom thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mike, who had been watching everything quietly, stepped up and whispered to Adam Waters,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t fall for it. This guy’s full of lies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam Waters glanced at Mike. Mike was his best friend at work. The one person who had always stuck by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Mike was suspicious, then maybe... maybe he was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam Waters looked back at Adam Price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright. Just stay away from me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he turned to leave, but Adam Price stopped him and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please, don’t leave...I will resign from this company today. I just have one last request. I want to have a meal before leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After today, you will become CEO Adam Waters, while I would continue to work as a manager...I don’t know when I will ever get the chance to sit with a CEO again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam Waters hesitated. He really didn’t want to spend any more time around Adam Price. Not after all the trouble he caused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But... Adam Price sounded so pitiful. And now he was talking about quitting?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mike shook his head hard, his eyes wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t do it, man. This guy’s up to something. I can feel it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam Waters looked at Mike, then back at Adam Price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam Price’s eyes were all watery and sad, and his shoulders were slumped like he’d already given up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just... one meal?\" Adam Waters asked, his voice uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam Price nodded eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, just one meal. It’s my way of saying sorry, I guess. And... goodbye.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam Waters sighed. \"Alright. Fine. One meal. But that’s it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam Price’s face lit up with relief. \"Thank you. I really appreciate it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mike groaned. \"You’re too nice, dude. Way too nice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You all could come too.\" Adam Price suggested as he looked at everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The workers only hesitated for a few minutes before agreeing and cheering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mike felt somewhat relieved, thinking that with so many people around, Adam Price wouldn’t dare to do anything funny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.........\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few hours before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora came to a devastating realization after multiple hours of scrolling and practicing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew hacking!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just the basics, either. It was like she had all these tricks and techniques crammed in her brain, just waiting to be used.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The extent of it was still unknown, but she could easily crack the simple challenges she found online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stuff that was supposed to be for experts or people who had studied for years... Aurora was figuring them out in minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It freaked her out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time she typed out some complicated command or decoded a password, it felt like her fingers were moving on their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like her brain was running ahead of her, knowing exactly what to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had even hacked into her own Wi-Fi just to test herself. It only took her five minutes. Five freaking minutes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am definitely more smart than any female lead!\" Aurora said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was rejoicing, she received a call from Emily, who told her about Adam Price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora heard everything and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t fire him right away. He will be useful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Useful? How? If he stayed, he would continue to insult your father.\" Emily sounded a bit worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is what I want. My dad is too soft-hearted. He needs to see that the people he considered as his friends weren’t as good as they seemed.\" Aurora explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, then I will ask Charles to stay silent,\" Emily said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, don’t ask Charles to fire that Adam Price right away. Let him question Charles so that my father’s capabilities can be seen by others.\" Aurora continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emily was silent for a while before praising Aurora,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are truly insightful, Aurora.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know,\" Aurora said in a proud tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Emily had hung up, Aurora continued to browse the information, and soon, she received a call from Emily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone has accepted your father as CEO, and he has also seen the real face of his close brothers. Everything is going according to plan,\" Emily informed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora heaved a sigh of relief. Though she had asked Emily not to take any action against Adam Price, she was worried that Adam Price would do something too out of line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, in desperation, even the honest man fights back, let alone a scheming man like Adam Price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But Adam Price...\" Emily interrupted Aurora’s train of thought. \"He has suddenly had a change of heart and decided to resign. He is planning to treat everyone to a meal. Do you think he has a change of heart?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",999,"2026-06-06T04:03:40.622Z",1,"novelbin.me","817711c9b46dacbbae1b7a7db487261a59493cd87e7c661fb00788bc08e17776","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-141","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-139",614,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fborn-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-cover.jpg"]
