But he didn’t care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lucy,\" he grunted, waving his hand like a king giving orders. \"Bring me some water.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucy, still grinning, walked toward the tiny kitchen corner and grabbed a cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She filled it with water from the old plastic jug and brought it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry took it, gulped down half, and then wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked over at Adeline, who was lying on the floor with blood at the corner of her lips, one eye swollen, arms wrapped tightly around her ribs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So,\" Henry said slowly, swirling the water in his cup. \"Tell me... who’s backing you up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline didn’t answer right away. She looked at him, breathing hard, her chest rising and falling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She already knew what he meant—he wanted to know who gave her the courage to sue him. Who gave her the strength to stand up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shook her head weakly. \"No one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry’s face darkened. The cup in his hand trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No one?\" he repeated in a low voice. Then he stood and walked over in two steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SLAP!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her head snapped to the side again. More blood dripped from her nose. Her lip split further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Try again,\" he said, voice full of warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline gritted her teeth, the pain making her eyes blur. But she didn’t speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry stared at her for a long second. Then... he pulled something from his pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held it out so she could see the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The contact name read: Adeline’s father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled cruelly. \"Still wanna be quiet?\" he asked. \"I can give your dear daddy a call. Let’s see how long you stay stubborn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline’s face turned pale like paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hands trembled as she pushed herself up a little. She looked at the phone like it was a monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew exactly what this meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her father... he didn’t need a reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Henry asked him to hit her, he would. If Henry wanted her dead, her father might do it just to please him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry had something over him—some dark secret that kept him wrapped around Henry’s finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If her dad came back... the beating today would feel like a soft tap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She might not make it out alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline swallowed hard. Her voice was so small, like a whisper in the storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...It’s Miss Dawn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry raised his eyebrows. \"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Miss Dawn,\" she said again, barely louder. \"She’s the one... who helped me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, there was silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry burst out laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He laughed so hard, he had to hold his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Dawn? You?\" he said between gasps. \"You actually—ha!—you actually want me to believe you know her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucy, now sipping her own glass of water, looked confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, who’s Miss Dawn?\" she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry chuckled again, leaning against the wall for support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face was sweaty, and his bandaged arm was starting to drip with blood again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Dawn,\" he said, smirking, \"is an investor. A real big shot. Her bank account has so many zeroes it’d make your brain explode. Liquid cash? I’d say she’s sitting on at least a hundred million dollars.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucy’s eyes widened. \"A hundred million?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry nodded slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yup. That woman could buy this whole building and turn it into a doghouse if she wanted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucy gasped. Then she got excited and leaned forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think... do you think I could meet her? Maybe she’ll like me and give me, like, fifty thousand! Or even just ten!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry rolled his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think she’s stupid?\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She doesn’t even breathe the same air as us. She wouldn’t look at people like us twice. She definitely wouldn’t be helping someone like Adeline.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucy glanced at Adeline, then back at Henry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But how does Adeline even know her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry laughed again, though this time, it ended in a groan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face twisted in pain, and he pressed his hand to his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wounds were hurting him, tearing open more and more. The ache made his fingers twitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And every time it hurt, he walked over—and slapped Adeline again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slap for every wince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slap for every sting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline’s face was red and swollen, but she didn’t cry anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She just bit her lip and stared at the floor, breathing through her pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry wiped his mouth and sneered. \"Maybe she got scammed,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way someone like Miss Dawn would waste time on this poor brat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She did! She promised to help me! She promised to pay off my debts! And she was the one who was going to help me file a complaint against you!\" Adeline shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry wasn’t offended and asked with a laugh,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh really? My dear Adeline, why would she do it? If you were some investment genius, I might have believed you, but you are nothing more than a pathetic 2 year dropout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What do you have? What can you offer her that she is ready to pay off your debts, file a complaint against me? So let me break the bubble, you are scammed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up! Miss Dawn would save me! I will make sure to put you behind bars.\" Adeline shouted desperately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry chuckled and slapped her hard again,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Adeline, get this reality in your brain, I can walk out of that door even without any charges on me! As long as I want, it would be your father who would end up in jail rather than me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And since you are his daughter, beating you won’t be a big issue, and I can help him reduce the charges. Then once his sentence would be over, he would come and finish you and your sister at once.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1005,"2026-06-06T04:03:40.623Z",1,"novelbin.me","80e45705f01903caeda0c22e13dc05c53e6b74db90d5da585478e4bf8c0dd463","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-167","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-165",614,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fborn-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-cover.jpg"]
