In fact, he felt that Aurora was directly challenging his authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, he thought about kicking her out of the party altogether. But then, he remembered something important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past three years, Miss Dawn had turned a few hundred dollars into millions and soon might even be entering the ranks of the billionaires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was enough to prove her talent, and he couldn’t afford to offend someone like her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But of course, he wasn’t about to show that to her. Instead, he straightened himself up and put on a fake smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, I wasn’t threatening you, Ms. Dawn,\" he said, trying to smooth things over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I must’ve misspoken. What I meant was, my younger brother, Peter... he might take matters into his own hands if he finds out you aren’t planning on supporting him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora raised an eyebrow, not buying it for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, really? But I never said I wouldn’t support Peter Richardson.\" She paused, letting her words sink in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s you who started threatening me first. And now you’re trying to make it sound like I misunderstood?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eldest son stood there, speechless, caught off guard. He expected a little more leeway from Aurora, but it was clear she wasn’t going to let anything slide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His grip on his composure tightened as he gritted his teeth, realizing he couldn’t push her around so easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if to add more tension to the situation, a young man approached them. He had soft brown hair and a rather average build.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the eldest son saw him, his face lit up, and he called out warmly, \"Mateo! Over here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora’s eyes narrowed. The name Mateo instantly triggered something in her mind. She didn’t like anyone named Mateo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Olivia’s story, the main lead was a guy named Mateo, a wealthy heir who would eventually fall for Eleanor while secretly admiring Olivia as his \"moonlight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora wasn’t sure if this was the same Mateo, but the moment the eldest son introduced him, her suspicions were confirmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is Mateo, he just enrolled in Windsor University,\" the eldest son said proudly, practically glowing as he introduced the boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora wasn’t impressed. Mateo looked... well, average. He wasn’t very handsome. At best, he could be ranked as the 20th most handsome person in the room, if that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And sure, he looked well-off, but something about his expression made Aurora uneasy. He wore a look as if he wanted to make true friends who didn’t care about his money when in reality he relied heavily on money to define himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing Aurora’s gaze on him, Mateo immediately plastered a smile on his face and walked over to her. \"Ms. Dawn, I’ve heard so much about you! I’m such a big fan!\" he said, his voice dripping with false enthusiasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora nearly gagged. If he was a fan, she’d gladly leave her identity behind just to escape this uncomfortable situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she forced a smile, though it wasn’t visible through her veil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She kept her voice light and polite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m honored. By the way, are you really studying at Windsor university? And, just out of curiosity, is there anyone you like?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mateo paused for a moment, his eyes darkening as he looked at her. Then, smirking, he said, \"I do like someone. She’s just my type, actually.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora’s expression didn’t change, but her words did. \"You shouldn’t like her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Olivia knew Mateo liked her, she might end up liking the guy. Not like she thought her sister was a gold digger or something, but Olivia’s life motto was, ’If you end things, at least you will cry in a royal roces not some honda car.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shock on Mateo’s face was evident. Even the eldest son of the Richardson family and Emily, who had been standing nearby, froze at her blunt response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t know how to react. Mateo, on the other hand, misunderstood. He thought she was somehow interested in him and trying to keep him to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chuckled nervously. \"Well, I come from a noble family. I’m not looking to be anyone’s boyfriend just because of money,\" he said, his voice now more serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Aurora with a knowing smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are beautiful, and you have millions, but that’s not what I’m looking for. I already have my ’moonlight,’ and she’s the one I love.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora rolled her eyes, but at the same time, she felt a little relieved. Maybe Mateo wasn’t as bad as she had feared. But then, the next thing he said made her stomach turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But,\" Mateo continued, \"if I can’t have my moonlight, I’d definitely consider giving you a chance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora, feeling like she might explode from Mateo’s ridiculous behavior, gave him a tight smile and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need a break.\" She was done with this conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned to leave, already tired of the drama, but before she could take a step, Mateo spoke again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You shouldn’t take my rejection too hard,\" he said with a smirk, his voice full of fake sympathy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If someday you truly feel like you can’t hold on, you know where to find me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora froze, her hand still on the edge of her cloak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The audacity of his words made her want to roll her eyes all the way back to the back of her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the eldest son of the Richardson family was taken aback by Mateo’s boldness. From what Aurora had said, it was clear she wasn’t interested in Mateo romantically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been polite, neutral, and firm—but Mateo, in his little fantasy world, was convinced that Aurora was secretly hurt by his \"rejection\" and was running away in shame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eldest son felt the need to set things straight with Mateo. How could he not see it? Aurora wasn’t begging for his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>",1012,"2026-06-06T04:03:40.623Z",1,"novelbin.me","53d4afd4bf188fe7ae52d38a8019cb2b3131578145cc0ad43aaf3a9cc7a392cf","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-268","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-266",614,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fborn-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-cover.jpg"]
