His father was drowning in gambling debts and keeping a mistress on the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mother, who should have left, stayed. She lowered her head again and again, enduring everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That became Anton’s lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From eighteen to twenty, his worldview twisted entirely. Watching his mother’s submission, he concluded that this was how relationships worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed someone who would endure him the same way. Every other woman was nothing more than a temporary distraction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he began making bets, manipulating people, and ruining lives for profit and pleasure alike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Adriana had unknowingly become part of that scheme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Adriana resembled his mother in subtle ways, and somewhere deep inside, Anton had begun to desire something more permanent with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to marry her, to keep her by his side, and to continue living exactly the way he always had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately for him, the past he thought he had buried had finally come knocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Molly had finally caught up with him, Anton no longer believed that she would let things end so easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Revenge was inevitable. The air around him felt heavier with each passing day, thick with an invisible pressure that made it hard to breathe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At times, he even considered withdrawing from the department entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If I weren’t so stupid,’ he thought bitterly. He realized that this was Peter and Adriana’s doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resentment festered in his chest like a slow poison. His hatred toward Adriana and Peter burned hot, to the point that the urge to run, to disappear, nearly overwhelmed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he never got the chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the lecture ended that day, the classroom gradually emptied, chairs scraping softly against the floor, murmurs fading into the hallway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Anton gathered his things, Molly leaned close, her breath brushing against his ear, carrying a faint scent of expensive perfume that made his stomach churn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Try leaving,\" she whispered smoothly. \"I dare you.\" Her lips curved slightly. \"And I’ll make sure everyone knows what you did. Every detail.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anton’s blood ran cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’d love to see,\" she continued softly, \"how you’d ever manage to enter a decent university again. Especially one connected to Peter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time in his life, real fear gripped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His shoulders stiffened, and whatever defiance he had left drained away. He receded silently, his gaze lowered, his jaw clenched so tightly it ached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sudden change didn’t go unnoticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adriana, watching from afar, finally released a breath she hadn’t realized she’d been holding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relief washed through her when she noticed that over the following week, Anton remained quiet, almost docile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Molly, on the other hand, took full control, her presence looming over him like an unshakable shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, Adriana felt a fleeting pang of pity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Is he being forced?’ she wondered briefly. But that thought never lasted long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time Molly threatened Anton, money followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crisp bills, silent transactions. And the moment money was involved, Anton, who moments ago looked resistant and humiliated, would immediately quiet down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Adriana assumed he was merely suppressing his disgust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as time passed, she realized something unsettling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anton wasn’t enduring this unwillingly. As long as someone was willing to spend money on him, he became obedient. Almost eager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The realization left a sour taste in her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Disgusting,’ she thought, exhaling softly. Still, she chose not to interfere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Anton wasn’t being forced, and as long as he stayed far away from her life, she didn’t care what he did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Let him enjoy whatever he wants,’ she decided coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far away from Adriana’s life, Olivia was dealing with a very different kind of frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would have thought that shortly after getting to know Louis, she would encounter his mother, more specifically, Louis’s overprotective mother?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since Louis started paying attention to her, constantly hovering around her with unmistakable intent, Olivia had understood his feelings clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, she had even considered accepting him as her boyfriend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But deep down, wariness held her back. Louis’s background was... complicated. Underground. Dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She worked in the police department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’God knows how much blood is on his hands,’ she thought grimly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The idea of getting involved with someone from the underworld felt like stepping straight into forbidden territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, she was sitting across from his mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia’s gaze swept discreetly over the woman seated opposite her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was slim and elegant, dressed in a luxurious outfit that stopped just below her knees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The checkered leopard-print fabric screamed money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Large black sunglasses rested on her face despite being indoors, paired with earrings so big they almost brushed her shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hair was styled meticulously, every strand in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Rich,’ Olivia concluded instantly. ’Obnoxiously rich.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she kept her expression pleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you want?\" Olivia asked calmly. \"And why did you invite me here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis’s mother wasted no time. Her posture straightened, and her voice was firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t like beating around the bush,\" she stated. \"I already know about you and Louis. And I don’t agree with this relationship.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia nodded without hesitation. \"I don’t agree either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words landed like a slap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis’s mother froze, clearly unprepared for that response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia continued calmly, her tone steady and composed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What I don’t agree with is you interfering in something that doesn’t even exist.\" Her eyes met the woman’s behind the dark lenses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Louis and I aren’t in a relationship at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time since the meeting began, Louis’s mother was left completely at a loss for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would have thought that the girl she was meeting this time wouldn’t follow any of the usual rules at all?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Isn’t she supposed to pretend there’s something going on with my son?’ Louis’s mother thought irritably. ’Shouldn’t she act distant, coy, or at least a little scheming? Even a fake sense of humility would have been acceptable.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more she observed Olivia’s calm posture and unbothered expression, the more something felt off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This girl didn’t fit into any script she was familiar with, and that unsettled her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you truly not in any kind of relationship?\" she pressed, her voice slow and probing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia nodded without hesitation, her expression firm and unchanging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer came too smoothly. Louis’s mother studied her carefully, noting the steadiness in her eyes, the lack of panic or pretense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She’s not lying,’ she realized, her nails digging lightly into her palm. But that didn’t mean the problem disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If that’s the case, then it must be Louis who likes her,’ she concluded. ’And that’s even worse.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew her son better than anyone. Once Louis set his heart on something, he wouldn’t let go easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she allowed this to continue, he would eventually choose Olivia no matter the cost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if the other party refused firmly enough, Louis would give up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even if he didn’t, all it would take was presenting him with a \"better\" option to make him realize how misplaced his interest had been.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought in mind, she lifted her chin and smiled gently, the kind of smile that never reached her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that’s truly the case,\" she said smoothly, \"then you’ve already saved yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You see,\" Louis’s mother continued, her tone turning condescending, \"our family background is... exceptional. We come from old wealth.\" Her gaze swept over Olivia critically. \"Someone like you, from a merely ordinary rich family, doesn’t belong with us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was about to continue, Olivia raised her hand calmly, stopping her mid-sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not interested in your background,\" Olivia stated coolly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood up, the chair scraping softly against the floor, and looked down at Louis’s mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you shouldn’t underestimate my abilities,\" Olivia added. \"From where I stand, this feels like an amateur plane trying to challenge a veteran one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words landed sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis’s mother clenched her fists, her perfectly manicured nails pressing into her skin. She lifted her head slowly and met Olivia’s gaze, her eyes turning icy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems you’re not willing to take the easy way out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia laughed lightly, as if she had just heard a ridiculous joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I honestly don’t understand how I’ve offended you,\" she replied calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve already told you I’m not after your son. There’s no relationship between us.\" Her smile faded slightly. \"So why are you still acting as if I’m chasing him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enough was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won’t beat around the bush anymore,\" Louis’s mother snapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If Louis dares to pursue you, then your responsibility is simple. Reject him thoroughly. Make sure he never follows or approaches you again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia laughed again, this time sharper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That decision would be mine,\" she said evenly. \"Not yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis’s mother’s lips curled into a cold smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So this is it,\" she mocked. \"You’re finally showing your true colors. You are after my son after all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia shook her head slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" she corrected. \"I’m after my basic rights.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words caught Louis’s mother off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What if, in the future, I end up falling for Louis?\" Olivia continued calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>",1516,"2026-06-06T04:03:40.623Z",1,"novelbin.me","b961438e440554a95b094abbb1a1c5ebb981f6abdc8716bf017f5a4815e0092e","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-481","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-479",614,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fborn-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-cover.jpg"]
