Just step aside and hand her over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam didn’t move an inch. \"I don’t think so. You better leave before things get messy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second thug scoffed, trying to intimidate him. \"Oh yeah? What are you gonna do? Fight all three of us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam smirked slightly. \"If I have to. But trust me, you don’t want to test me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thugs exchanged nervous glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam’s confidence made them hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked strong, and his stance showed that he knew how to fight. The leader gritted his teeth, clicking his tongue in annoyance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch! Fine, you win today,\" he spat. \"But don’t think this is over!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, the three thugs turned around and left, muttering angrily to themselves. Emily sagged in relief, still clutching Mary’s arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh my god...\" she whispered, taking deep breaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you... Thank you so much! You saved me!\" She wiped her fake tears, looking up at Adam and Mary with gratitude. \"I don’t know what I would have done without you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you alright?\" Mary asked worriedly, rubbing Emily’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I think so...\" Emily sniffled. \"I just... I have to repay you somehow! I can’t just walk away after you protected me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam waved a hand. \"No need for that. Just stay safe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No!\" Emily said firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t understand. I’m not just some random woman. I... I’m a rich heiress. Those people wanted to take away my money, hence I was running away from them. But I want to thank you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reached into her bag, fumbling as if searching for something valuable. Then, she pulled out a heavy gold bar and a small pouch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here!\" she said, handing them over to Adam and Mary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a 1.8 kg gold bar! Please, take it as a token of my gratitude!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mary’s jaw dropped. \"W-What?! We can’t take this! It’s too much!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, no, please!\" Emily insisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have more than enough. You saved me! This is nothing compared to what you did for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam frowned, hesitating. \"But this... This could be fake or—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt as if he was getting scammed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then check it!\" Emily interrupted. \"Let’s go to a gold shop right now. I want you to see that it’s real!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam and Mary exchanged looks, still stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, they agreed, and the three of them went to a nearby gold shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shop owner inspected the gold carefully, weighing it and running several tests. After a few minutes, he looked up and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congratulations,\" he said. \"This gold is completely real. It’s worth a fortune.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mary covered her mouth in shock. Adam felt like his legs would give out. Emily beamed at them. \"See? I wasn’t lying. Now, take it. Please.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam swallowed hard, looking at the gold in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No...no...we can’t...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, please don’t be shy. These gold bars mean nothing to me. They are as cheap as $20 for me.\" Emily waved off as if it was truly nothing for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Emily.\" Emily introduced, and as she said so, she passed a receipt of the gold to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam and Mary hesitated for a long while and only after Emily’s repeated insistence did they take the gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am Adam and she is my wife Mary.\" Adam introduced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emily smiled warmly. \"It’s nice to meet you both. And I’m really, really grateful for what you did today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mary still looked unsure, glancing at the gold in her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But Emily, this is too much... Are you really sure about this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emily let out a soft laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course! What’s the use of all my wealth if I can’t thank the people who helped me? Besides,\" she lowered her voice, looking around as if checking for eavesdroppers,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need a little favor from you both.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam’s eyebrows furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A favor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emily nodded and leaned in. \"It’s nothing dangerous, don’t worry. I just need a place to stay for a few days. Just until I can figure out my next move.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mary’s eyes widened. \"Stay? With us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emily nodded eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes! I promise I won’t be any trouble! I can even pay rent if you want!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She bit her lip and looked at them with hopeful eyes. \"Please? I don’t know anyone else I can trust.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam and Mary exchanged a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was all happening so fast. First, the gold, and now this? It felt too unreal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mary hesitated but then sighed. \"We don’t have a big place...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emily quickly waved her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t need anything fancy! Just a small space to sleep. I swear, I won’t be a burden.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam rubbed the back of his neck. He wasn’t sure about this, but after everything, how could they just leave her on her own?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he let out a breath. \"Alright... You can stay for a few days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emily’s face lit up with relief and happiness. \"Thank you! I promise, you won’t regret it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mary smiled, though she still looked a little worried. \"Let’s go home then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they walked back, Emily chatted happily, making it seem like she was just a lucky rich girl who had gotten into trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She even joked about how her mother-in-law was like a villain in a drama, always trying to ruin her life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam listened quietly, still feeling a little suspicious. But as he looked at Mary, who seemed to relax around Emily, he decided to let it go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, what was the worst that could happen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon they reached the apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On reaching they introduced Emily to all of their children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas and Adriana frowned when they heard about the entire encounter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They kept on feeling as if their parents were tricked but they had no proof of it.\u003C\u002Fp>",1005,"2026-06-06T04:03:40.622Z",1,"novelbin.me","a73cea91baa98bfbd7ce3ca4894dd8bc1c647047fb796136a24d4f0b6f5fcfff","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-53","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-51",614,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fborn-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-cover.jpg"]
