Didn’t scream. Didn’t curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she took one step back, then rammed her leg forward—hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door slammed open, breaking off the cheap metal lock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It swung out violently, crashing into the girl standing directly in front of it. She let out a shriek as it knocked her back, half-crushed by its weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora stepped out of the stall, dripping wet but utterly composed. Her eyes scanned the group—three girls standing in a row, holding empty buckets, and one on the floor, groaning in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was like ice. \"Anyone else?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girls stared at her, stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... you psycho!\" one finally shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Psycho?\" Aurora repeated. \"You haven’t even seen what I can do yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were pulling out their phones now, recording shakily. Probably thinking they’d catch her lashing out. That they’d be able to twist it later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora didn’t give them anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She just walked out—past the girl still lying on the floor, past the stunned expressions, and right through the hallway without sparing them a second glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, her mind was already working.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew their faces now. Knew who was truly bold and who only followed the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She would not humiliate them in front of others—not yet. That was what they wanted. To make her snap, to get proof she was the villain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Aurora had patience. And power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She would wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wanted her humiliated?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She would bury them in their own shame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And next time, they wouldn’t have a bucket of water to hide behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.................................\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lecture ended with the usual shuffle of notebooks closing and chairs scraping against the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Students began filing out, chatting casually or scrolling through their phones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora remained seated, her posture straight but relaxed, her eyes drifting toward Mia, who had stayed unusually quiet throughout the class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mia sat beside her, fidgeting with the corner of her notebook. Her normally upbeat demeanor had dulled, the spark in her eyes dimmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora studied her for a moment, then leaned in slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey,\" she said gently. \"What happened yesterday? You’ve been quiet all day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mia gave a weak smile. \"It’s nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora didn’t buy it. \"Mia.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a pause. Then another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, after a deep sigh, Mia mumbled,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When Dana and I went shopping yesterday, her phone rang. She stepped away to answer it, and I overheard... she’s got a boyfriend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora blinked. \"Wait, boyfriend?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mia nodded, trying to keep her voice steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. Turns out she’s straight. She never even realized how I felt. I guess... it was all one-sided.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora’s heart softened. She reached out and patted Mia’s back, offering a reassuring smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then that just means the right girl is still out there waiting for you. Someone who will fall head over heels and know it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mia let out a small laugh, grateful. \"Thanks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora nudged her shoulder playfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just don’t fall for any more girls who make you carry all the shopping bags. That’s a red flag right there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That finally brought a real smile to Mia’s face. She chuckled and wrapped her arms around Aurora in a sudden hug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re the best, you know that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora patted her back in return. \"I try.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a faint cough interrupted the warm moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two girls turned their heads and found Spencer standing to the side, arms crossed, with a mildly annoyed look on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mia raised an eyebrow. \"What’s with the coughing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spencer cleared his throat dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just making sure Mia knows she doesn’t have a chance. Aurora already booked me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mia blinked, confused. \"Booked you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spencer nodded seriously. \"One spot left in her heart. Taken. Sorry, Mia.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a long silence as Mia tried to process that, and then she burst out laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Booked? You make it sound like you’re a hotel reservation,\" she teased. \"Usually it’s the guy who says he’s booked his girl—not the other way around.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spencer smirked. \"Well, I’m different. Special edition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mia shook her head, still giggling. \"You used to be the cold football star, and now look at you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three of them stood and began to head toward the exit, the mood noticeably lighter. But the good energy was short-lived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they reached the hallway, someone stepped into their path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mandy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she appeared, the atmosphere shifted. Spencer and Mia both moved instantly, placing themselves between Aurora and Mandy like shields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their faces darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spencer narrowed his eyes. \"What do you want?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mia folded her arms, voice sharp. \"Haven’t you done enough already?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mandy’s shoulders slumped a little, guilt flickering in her eyes. Her voice was soft, unsure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just... I need to talk to Aurora. Alone. Please.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mia stepped forward, eyes blazing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve done more than enough harm. Two days ago, your mother nearly had Aurora thrown in jail over a lie. Even after she was proven innocent, did you come to say sorry? No. You vanished.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spencer added, \"If you have a shred of decency left, you’ll walk away now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mandy bit her lip, looking as if she might cry. \"I swear, I’m not here to hurt her. I just... I just need to talk. Please. Just once.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora, silent until now, gently touched both Mia and Spencer on the shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hesitated, reluctant, but they stepped aside at her silent signal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora followed Mandy to a quieter corner of the hallway. It wasn’t fully private—students passed by at intervals—but it gave them enough space to speak freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mandy fidgeted, eyes fixed on the floor. Her voice trembled as she began. \"I’m sorry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora said nothing, waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These past couple of days, I’ve been... looking into things. Asking around. I—I didn’t believe it at first, but then... I realized how wrong I was.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora’s expression didn’t change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mandy continued,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I found out the truth. About what happened when we were kids. Caroline always told me you stole her crush.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1008,"2026-06-06T04:03:40.623Z",1,"novelbin.me","14659fd213f17b4006074084995c2bdf7b6ba3f2dbb59e8f19c9e3b55575874d","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-195","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-193",614,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fborn-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-cover.jpg"]
