This is not something you should touch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora did not back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need to know,\" she replied quietly. \"Something about this doesn’t add up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a long pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Spencer sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine. If you insist, I’ll accompany you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Spencer overseeing the operation and assisting, they entered the network together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Spencer’s protection, the infiltration moved smoothly and controlled, nothing like Aurora’s previous reckless attempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They retrieved the necessary data.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then withdrew safely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....................................\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora immediately began analyzing the files.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, everything looked ordinary: financial structures, business branches, and social appearances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she saw it. Her eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lily Brown...\" she whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl she had assumed to be the true heiress...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was nothing more than a shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A public figure. A decoy. Someone deliberately placed in the spotlight to represent the Brown family while hiding the real one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora scrolled further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real heiress’s name appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora leaned back slowly, confusion flooding her thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But in my understanding, Lily was supposed to be the real heiress,’ she thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If Lily is only a shadow, then why did the Brown family push her forward so aggressively? Why erase Shay’s presence so completely?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if the family wanted the world to believe a lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more she thought about it, the more suspicious it became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.........................................\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far away from Aurora’s investigation, Nick was sitting across from Jules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, he had spent days begging for this meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had insisted repeatedly that if she refused to see him, he would continue disturbing her until her wedding day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jules, already overwhelmed with wedding preparations, had reluctantly agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, she could not understand why he even had time to ask for this meeting when his own company was collapsing under public scrutiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she arrived at the café, Nick gestured toward the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I ordered drinks,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jules waved her hand dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t want to eat or drink anything. Say what you came to say. Don’t waste my time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tone was sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nick’s eyes reddened slightly as he looked at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know I hurt you,\" he said softly. \"But at least take care of yourself. Have something first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jules’s expression turned colder. She looked ready to stand up and leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nick hurriedly raised his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright. I won’t force you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jules sat back down, though her patience was clearly thin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nick gave a small smile, but inside, his thoughts were turbulent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since his company began collapsing, he had known someone was pulling the strings behind the scenes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he was certain who it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Jules knew it too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora had made that clear on their engagement day, deliberately telling Jules everything so she would not be manipulated by Nick again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Jules’s calm indifference felt like a dagger in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nick lowered his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know what I did can’t be forgiven,\" he admitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jules raised an eyebrow. ’At least he has some self-awareness,’ she thought dryly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I came here to say goodbye,\" Nick continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That actually surprised her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then apologize and leave,\" Jules replied. \"As an apology, you can transfer some of your remaining assets to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was not saying it because she needed money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted revenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had once left her with nothing. Cheated on her. Humiliated her. Destroyed her life over a misunderstanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man like that deserved to end up bankrupt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nick nodded without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will leave everything to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jules blinked, slightly startled by how easily he agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that’s the case, then we’re done,\" she said, standing up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as she turned to leave, Nick suddenly spoke again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since I’m doing so much for you... can you grant me one last request?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jules did not even look back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it’s troublesome, then no.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked toward the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nick panicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rushed forward and grabbed her wrist, stopping her from leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can’t just walk away without talking properly,\" he said, his tone turning forceful, almost domineering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, he even considered asserting control, as if reclaiming what he once believed belonged to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never got the chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jules stepped back sharply, twisted her arm free with practiced precision, and shoved him away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could react...Slap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound echoed loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nick staggered, stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never imagined Jules would learn self-defense. Otherwise, she could not have executed that movement so cleanly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he stared at her in shock, Jules let out a small, humorless chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you’re scared now,\" she said coldly, \"then maybe you should fix that disgusting attitude of yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes were sharp, unyielding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you really think I can’t see that you’re trying to manipulate me again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nick’s face drained of all color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at Jules, shaking his head repeatedly as panic crawled into his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s been a misunderstanding... there must have been,\" he insisted, his words stumbling over each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jules did not even bother to soften her expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at him as though she were looking at something insignificant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Misunderstanding?\" she repeated coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next time you even think of using anything to manipulate me, you should forget about living peacefully.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her words landed like sharp blades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned and began walking toward the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then she suddenly stopped, as if remembering something amusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, and that day?\" she added, glancing back over her shoulder. \"You thought you were being clever, trying to mislead me about our meeting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1517,"2026-06-06T04:03:49.636Z",1,"novelbin.me","06049479741ff5e3574012aa4ac331aca87406de120e4d773964aa7357e1b3b2","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-533","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-531",614,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fborn-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-cover.jpg"]
