Lines of code filled the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sun moved across the sky, changing light to shadow. Aurora didn’t notice the time. She was entirely immersed in her work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By evening, she finished a video call with Spencer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They chatted about casual topics, and a smile formed on their faces by the end of the conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, Aurora’s routine resumed just like any other day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She attended her classes, completed her schoolwork, and continued refining her software product.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her life seemed ordinary from the outside, but beneath it, there was a careful precision guiding every action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing was left to chance. She had a plan for everything she cared about, and nothing would derail her focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she didn’t forget the matter of the fashion studio. She picked up her phone and called Emily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Emily,\" she said calmly, \"I need you to acquire a fashion studio.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a brief pause on the other end. Emily’s voice came with a hint of surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aurora, are you... Opening your own fashion line?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora shook her head, even though Emily couldn’t see it. \"No, that’s not the plan. This is for my sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emily blinked, startled. \"Your sister? Which one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Adriana. She is about to graduate, and I want to help her start her own fashion brand. She shouldn’t have to struggle like we have. She deserves a proper start.\" Aurora’s voice was calm but firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a silence. Emily could not hide her admiration. \"I’ve hardly seen siblings who care for each other like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora chuckled softly, a little mischievously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m planning to take a small percentage of shares in return. Just to keep things in order. But it’s mostly for her. She won’t even need to worry about finances or investors. I’ll handle that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emily shook her head, laughing softly. \"I’ve never met a sister like you, Aurora.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora smiled and closed her eyes for a moment, thinking of her family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My family... they sacrificed everything for me when I was sick. Now, it’s my turn to return what I owe them. They deserve everything I can give.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emily stayed quiet, letting the words sink in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew some of Aurora’s medical history, and hearing this, she understood why Aurora worked so hard, why she carried so much on her shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The following week passed quietly. Aurora focused on school, on her software project, and on planning Adriana’s fashion brand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasionally, she spoke to Spencer, missing him in silence at times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She would look out the window and wonder how fast time could pass so she could see him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, a small worry lingered in her mind...her family, her siblings, and their storyline. She kept a tab on them to ensure that nothing was going in a wrong direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon it was Sunday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Waters family gathered at home as usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laughter filled the air, the sounds of conversation blending with the gentle hum of the household.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex had come over to spend time with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Aurora felt a prickling unease in her chest, a sense that something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her instincts screamed at her, but she couldn’t identify exactly why. Before she could react, Lucas had opened the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside stood Eleanor. A huge smile spread across her face as she entered without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora’s hand clenched into a fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was Eleanor doing here? Wasn’t she supposed to be with that trash bag, Mateo? Why was she acting as though she had any right to enter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eleanor walked confidently up to Theodore and wrapped him in a hug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tone was soft but urgent. \"I truly like you, Theodore. I’m sorry for ignoring you before. I feel terrible about it. I was wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore froze. His eyes widened slightly, caught off guard by Eleanor’s sudden honesty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia, standing nearby, felt a surge of fury. Without a word, she strode forward, grabbed Eleanor, and slapped her hard across the face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eleanor stumbled back, the sound sharp in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore stepped forward, unsure what to do. \"Olivia, wait! What are you doing?\" he asked, trying to intervene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eleanor turned toward Olivia with sincerity in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand why you’re angry. I know I hurt you before, but I won’t make excuses. I just want you to see that I am sincere now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia’s face was red with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sincere? You were with Mateo, acting like you were in love with him! Now you suddenly come here and tell me you like Theodore? Do you even understand what you’ve done?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eleanor’s blonde hair swayed slightly as she held Olivia’s gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her sapphire blue eyes shimmered with moisture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand. Mateo wasn’t right for me. Theodore... now I realize he is who I should have been with. I regret rejecting his confession before. If I could go back, I would accept him immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room fell silent. Everyone stared at Eleanor in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex’s mouth opened slightly, stunned. Theodore’s face was a mixture of shock and confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden shift in Eleanor’s attitude and her boldness had everyone frozen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eleanor looked at Theodore with soft determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please, help me. I need you now. I’ve learned from my mistakes. I know I was wrong, but I want to make it right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore’s mind went back to the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered those days when everyone was caught up in their own problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It hadn’t been entirely the Waters family’s fault. The world revolved around Aurora, who had been in a coma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During those times, Theodore had been humiliated repeatedly by directors. He had almost lost hope countless times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had cried secretly. He had nearly given up on his own dreams. But Eleanor had been there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had given him encouragement and motivated him when no one else did. He had been touched, even if she was just stringing him along...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But despite that, Theodore’s voice was soft but firm. \"I can’t accept your confession, Eleanor. I’m sorry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora, who had been quietly observing from the side, hid slightly behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she heard a mechanical voice in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Theodore’s favorability had reached 90%.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes widened in horror. How could Theodore still like someone who had toyed with him before? How could he still care for Eleanor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora clenched her fists, her mind racing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t understand it. The more she thought, the angrier she became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned her gaze sharply toward her brother, her disappointment plain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore remained calm. \"It’s better if you leave, Eleanor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eleanor looked at him, her voice soft but firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will leave, Theodore, but I won’t stop trying. For three years, I have liked you. Now that I truly understand, I want to prove to you that my earlier mistakes were just that...mistakes. You are the one I want, and I will show you that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora heard the mechanical voice again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Theodore’s favorability had increased to 93%.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hands clenched even tighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shouted in frustration, her voice echoing across the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If Mateo was a mistake, then what if in the future you suddenly change your mind and say that Theodore was a mistake too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone turned to look at Aurora. Her anger was fierce, her expression dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked up to Eleanor, glaring at her. \"Why are you here? I saw you with Mateo. Kissing him. Do you think we are fools?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Aurora mentioned Eleanor kissing Mateo,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The familiar mechanical voice echoed in Aurora’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Theodore’s favorability dropped to 67%]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora felt a rush of relief. Her fists unclenched slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least her brother wasn’t a lost case!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Keep on going, Aurora! Just a few more words and this bitch will be completely out of the family!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at Eleanor with cold clarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you are really innocent, then Mateo truly was a mistake. How can you only realize it now, after being physically involved with him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eleanor’s smile wavered. She lowered her head, silent for a moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aurora, why do you hate me so much? I understand that my reaction is strange, but... I truly can’t continue to hold my feelings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears shimmered in her eyes as she stared at Aurora,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I tried to hold my feelings for him, I really did! In the past 3 weeks, I have been staring at Theodore from far away and didn’t dare to approach him because of shame... but now... now I truly couldn’t hold back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1506,"2026-06-06T04:03:40.624Z",1,"novelbin.me","4f60e88eceeda3fc6301c3460b5b309b34819334aac3fee40eff8e9e0d999aae","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-83","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-82",614,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fborn-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-cover.jpg"]
