She thought he would smile. She thought he would be happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead, he just gave her a cold shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now... He wasn’t replying to her messages at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did I do wrong this time? Aurora wondered sadly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia, sitting on the couch beside her, watched her sister quietly. Even though Aurora didn’t say anything, her gloomy face said everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, Olivia gave a little chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me guess... this is about Spencer, isn’t it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora’s eyes widened. She looked at her sister in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How... how did you know?\" she asked, blinking fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia gave her a teasing smile. \"Easy. Since we were kids, whenever you look this heartbroken, it’s always because of Spencer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora laughed, thinking Olivia was just being playful. \"Haha, come on! I didn’t even know Spencer when I was a kid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Olivia didn’t laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stayed quiet and just looked at Aurora with soft eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, Olivia did remember.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She remembered that long ago, when Aurora was still small, she had met Spencer near their rental apartment. He used to bring her little paper cranes and jelly candies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after Aurora fell sick with a high fever, she forgot all about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia didn’t want to bring up those painful memories again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So instead, she gave a bright smile and said, \"Well, if he’s still mad, maybe try bringing him Ferrero Rocher. That always works.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora gasped a little. \"That was actually my plan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course it was,\" Olivia winked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora felt a bit better after talking, but her real work for the night was just beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She returned to her room, closed the door, and pulled open her closet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonight, she wasn’t just Aurora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was Miss Dawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pulled on a long black dress with high slits on both sides, slipped on heels, and tied her hair into a sleek bun. She wore her signature black veil that covered her face, only letting her bright red lips peek through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she opened the hidden panel in her room and slipped into the secret passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It led straight to the apartment Emily had bought for her, right below the Waters family apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Aurora stepped out onto the street, she saw Emily waiting near the lamp post.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora grinned. \"It’s been a while, hasn’t it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emily smiled and adjusted her sunglasses. \"Busy with business.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora narrowed her eyes playfully. \"Really? Because from what I know... You weren’t that busy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emily’s face turned red. \"Wait—were you investigating me?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora shrugged with an innocent look. \"I would never. That’s illegal, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emily groaned. \"Ugh, you’re impossible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, they reached the private hotel room they had booked earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was on the top floor—quiet, fancy, and safe from snooping eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora sat down on the plush couch and crossed her legs calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emily stood beside her, arms folded, as the door opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In walked Jonnah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked like he was about to walk into a royal ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wore a shiny maroon tuxedo with a golden watch and slicked-back hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora blinked. Is this a business meeting or a red carpet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jonnah smiled widely and walked over quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ms. Dawn, you look absolutely beautiful tonight,\" he said smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora blinked under her veil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait, what? She looked down at herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He can’t even see my face. What is he complimenting? The air around me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gave a small smile but couldn’t help slipping a small twist of her lips. \"Thank you,\" she said in a soft voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s really good at flattery, she thought. No wonder people call him a smooth talker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jonnah sat down carefully across from her, resting his hands on his lap like a polite little gentleman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emily rolled her eyes from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora leaned forward slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s get started, shall we?\" she said in a low voice. \"I believe you have some... information for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jonnah’s smile widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Ms. Dawn. Everything about Eleanor’s uncle. Bank accounts. Hidden loans. Secret trips. Even a few... dark deals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora’s eyes gleamed behind the veil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora leaned back a little, her voice soft but serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hand me the clues.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without saying a word, Jonnah reached into his pocket and pulled out a small pen drive. It was black with a tiny red light blinking at the end. He handed it over with both hands, like it was something super important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everything is in here, Ms. Dawn,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora took it carefully and passed it to Emily, who immediately pulled out her laptop and plugged it in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Emily checked through the files, Aurora crossed one leg over the other and looked at Jonnah quietly. She didn’t say anything, but her eyes were sharp behind the black veil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A minute later, Emily nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All files are here. Bank records, hidden deals, and even photos.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora smiled under the veil. \"You’re really smart, Jonnah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, without warning, she picked up her phone, tapped the screen a few times, and said, \"Check your bank.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jonnah’s eyes widened. He opened his banking app right there in front of her, and his jaw almost dropped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two... two million dollars?!\" he gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora nodded calmly. \"You’ll open a studio under Theodore’s name.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jonnah blinked. \"Theo... Theodore?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a second, he thought Theodore was just Aurora’s secret boyfriend or someone she had a crush on. But now... this sounded different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why does she want to open a studio under his name?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why is she giving this much money without even blinking?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly started thinking of all kinds of things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is she his relative? Maybe a cousin? A hidden sister? Or maybe she has a double identity and admires him from afar?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His thoughts were flying around like butterflies in a storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could say anything more, Aurora’s soft voice cut in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m watching you, Jonnah. If you betray me even once...\" her voice turned cold, \"I’ll make sure no one in the entertainment world hires you ever again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jonnah felt a chill run down his spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sat up straighter and quickly nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I promise! I’ll do everything just like you said! I won’t mess up, I swear!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with a careful voice, he asked, \"Um... once I open the studio, there will still be a lot of money left. What should I do with it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora smiled again, a little secretively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve found some really interesting IPs,\" she said. \"Buy the copyrights of all of them and put them under Theodore’s name.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also... hire directors, a casting director, and a producer. You’ll be making a drama.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jonnah’s mouth dropped open. \"Wait—like... an entire drama? All funded by you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jonnah wanted to jump out of his seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had worked with rich people before, but none of them had ever thrown money like this. And definitely not for someone else’s name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And one more thing,\" Aurora added. \"There are twenty IPs. You’ll acquire all of them. I’ll send you five million more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jonnah felt like screaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hands were shaking from excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty IPs?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was asking him to build a whole drama empire for Theodore!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Aurora leaned forward again, her voice firm but kind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After you buy them, ask for more funds to hire managers and plan the budget. As long as the budget is proper and there are no loopholes, I will send the money. As for which platform we will launch the drama and what different kinds of permissions are required, don’t worry about it. I’ll handle everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jonnah blinked. He couldn’t help it. He had to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ms. Dawn... why are you giving me this job? Isn’t this something a manager or employee should do? I’m just an actor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora smiled under her veil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because I know your story, Jonnah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You once wanted to be a director, right? Before you became an actor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jonnah froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How... how did you know that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora said nothing, just kept looking at him calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jonnah remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had wanted to be a director. He even studied filmmaking at first. But his family was poor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His parents were sick. He needed money fast. So he gave up his dream and became an actor, taking every role he could get.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nobody knew that. Not even his closest friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ms. Dawn knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant she had researched him from the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jonnah felt his throat tighten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood up quickly and bowed deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Ms. Dawn. I’ll remember this kindness forever!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora waved her hand slowly. \"Just treat Theodore like your own brother. Protect him. Take care of everything under his name.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jonnah nodded again, this time with real emotion in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, ma’am. I swear I will.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, even if Aurora asked him to take out his heart, he would be ready(during his old age, of course).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Dawn, what a pleasant surprise.\" A fake voice broke the rising harmony in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>",1519,"2026-06-06T04:03:40.623Z",1,"novelbin.me","a7994537f4363c5eb87dd6dcb6d0ab75cc25e7fb29c36cfc3278c023bd735f84","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-249","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-247",614,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fborn-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-cover.jpg"]
