What?! Are you joking?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora tilted her head and said sweetly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, not joking. If you don’t give him the money today, you have to pay a little more each day. Because the longer you wait, the less the money is worth. That’s called inflation. Don’t worry, I’ll remind you every day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jean looked like she was about to explode. She pointed at Aurora and shouted,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re just doing this to make things hard for me! Who charges tax every single day?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora looked back at her with innocent eyes. \"I’m not the one who ate someone else’s food. I’m just making sure you learn the value of respect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jean’s face turned red with anger. She turned to Mary and pointed at Aurora. \"Look at your daughter! You’ve spoiled her! She’s treating her elder like this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Mary just sighed. \"What can I say? Aurora has always been weak since she was a child. I can’t stop her if she’s angry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jean and Ruby stomped their feet in frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re leaving!\" Jean shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But right before they left, Jean turned to Ruby and said, \"Give him the rest of the money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruby growled under her breath but took out $202 from her purse. With an angry face, she threw it toward Theodore and walked away with her mom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they walked outside, Ruby was fuming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can’t believe this!\" she snapped. \"We lost $615 just like that! All because you wanted pizza!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jean almost cried. \"I didn’t know it was that expensive! I just saw cheese and grabbed it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruby turned her head sharply. \"Are you sure you didn’t know? Not even a little?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jean looked away and whispered, \"...Maybe I had a small idea. But I didn’t think they’d actually make me pay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruby sighed loudly and shook her head. \"The Waters family is like a pack of tigers! Every one of them is worse than the other!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jean didn’t say anything for a while. But then she smiled and turned to Ruby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have an idea,\" she said with a little sparkle in her eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruby raised an eyebrow. \"What is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jean leaned in and whispered, \"If we can get Adam on our side... everything will be easy. I just need to seduce him. If we get him to like me, we can take half the property and blackmail him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruby’s eyes widened like saucers. \"Are you crazy?! I’m not letting you cheat on my dad!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jean rolled her eyes. \"I’m not going to cheat. I’m just saying... make Adam think something happened. We take photos, scare him a little, and get what we want. That’s not cheating, it’s just smart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruby stared at her mom like she had just discovered a genius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom,\" she said slowly, \"you’re... honestly the smartest person I’ve ever met.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jean smiled proudly. \"I know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back inside the house, Aurora, Theodore, and Mary sat on the couch, sipping tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore leaned back, still holding the money Ruby had thrown at him. \"You know, I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen someone so angry while paying a bill,\" he said with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora chuckled. \"She looked like she was being robbed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mary sighed, rubbing her temples. \"I knew Jean was greedy, but this is... another level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora tilted her head thoughtfully. \"She’s not just greedy. She’s dangerous. She plays dumb, but she plans everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore nodded. \"Do you think they’ll really try something again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora smiled coldly. \"They will. People like her don’t stop until they lose everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mary frowned. \"I shouldn’t have let her enter at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora shook her head and comforted her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom,\" she said, \"you didn’t invite Jean with bad intentions. She fooled you. That’s not your fault.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mary sighed and looked down, clearly still feeling guilty. \"But if I hadn’t let her in, none of this would have happened. Maybe I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora shook her head. \"Let’s not live in the past. What’s more important now is to get rid of her cleanly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Aurora looked at both Mary and Theodore and said, \"Actually, I think we should just give her some money and let her go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room fell quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore blinked. \"You... want to give her money?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora nodded. \"Yes. Not because we owe her anything, but because it’ll shut her up. If she thinks she’s won a little, she’ll leave faster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mary looked unsure at first, but then slowly nodded. \"That... might work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing everyone agree, she added, \"Okay. Let’s give her $200,000 and end this farce once and for all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora’s eyes widened. \"Wait! Mom! Two hundred thousand?! That’s way too much!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mary tilted her head. \"Is it? I just want her gone quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora laughed dryly. \"Even if you want her gone, don’t hand her your whole wallet. We can start with $20,000 and bargain. If we do it right, she’ll settle for $50,000.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore smiled. \"That’s smart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mary blinked and smiled, too. \"You’ve really grown up, Aurora.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore chuckled. \"With instincts like that, you’ll be running a company in no time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora giggled a little and stood up. \"Maybe I will.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She headed to her room, her footsteps light. Today was Sunday, and school was off. But Aurora wasn’t planning to laze around. Today, she had a date with Spencer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She opened her closet and picked out a beautiful white spaghetti dress that reached her knees. She curled her soft red hair and let it fall over her shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she added a soft layer of makeup, nothing too heavy, just enough to highlight her features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she looked at herself in the mirror, she smiled proudly. \"Perfect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She grabbed her purse and left her room, her heart beating just a little faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since she learned that Spencer might be going away, she wanted to spend as much time with him as possible. Who knew when they’d see each other again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, she arrived at the café Spencer had asked her to come to. It was a small but cozy place with flowers on each table and soft music playing in the background.\u003C\u002Fp>",1018,"2026-06-06T04:03:40.623Z",1,"novelbin.me","0214b089fa60b91c174978907b185f2c37a5c6879e919f1788cb8fe128768dfc","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-288","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-286",614,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fborn-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-cover.jpg"]
