You apologize and then expect me to feel pity because you are suffering now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siya shook her head hurriedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My family’s business is declining. Even my pocket money has been reduced. I only receive forty thousand dollars now.\" Her voice quivered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think my father’s company might be going bankrupt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few steps away, Aurora raised an eyebrow, having heard the entire exchange. There was a flicker of amusement in her gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siya continued, lowering her voice dramatically. \"I came not only to apologize but to tell you that karma is real. If you can forgive me, then I will consider my punishment justified.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia stared at her in disbelief. \"If you are done with this drama, you can leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she finished speaking, Theodore approached, a shopping bag in hand. The rich navy fabric of a dress peeked from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Olivia, try this,\" he said, his eyes bright with excitement. \"I think it will suit you perfectly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siya turned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore stood there, tall and composed, even more striking in person than on television. The mall lights reflected off his features, highlighting the sharp line of his jaw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Siya rushed forward and clung to his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore stiffened instantly, surprise flashing across his face. He instinctively tried to pull away, but when he saw it was Siya, he hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered her as Olivia’s best friend. He did not know their friendship had long since shattered. He had only found it strange that she stopped visiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia’s expression darkened. She stepped forward and firmly pushed Siya away. \"Maintain distance from my brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siya’s tears flowed faster. She looked up at Theodore pitifully. \"Theodore, I know I was wrong. Can you please convince Olivia to forgive me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore frowned slightly. \"You need to understand one thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hope flickered across Siya’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should wipe the snot off your face,\" he continued flatly. \"It is very disgusting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shrugged off his jacket abruptly and tossed it into a nearby bin with visible revulsion. He even brushed his hands together as if shaking off contamination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora blinked. Olivia froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siya, who had been pretending to cry, began crying for real this time. Her face flushed crimson with humiliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia’s lips twitched violently as she suppressed a laugh that bubbled dangerously in her throat. She exchanged a glance with Aurora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’We should leave before I burst out laughing.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora gave the slightest nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two sisters turned and walked away without another word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind them, Siya stood trembling, jealousy boiling beneath her embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’How lucky is Olivia?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore’s protectiveness had been so natural, so immediate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Why does she get someone like him? Why does she have such a caring brother?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more she thought about it, the more bitterness festered in her chest, growing heavier with each step Olivia took away from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when Siya thought she had lost them completely, an idea flashed through her mind. She hurried forward again and called out loudly, \"Olivia, wait!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia stopped, irritation already rising like a headache behind her eyes. She turned halfway, clearly unwilling to engage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siya clasped her hands together, forcing urgency into her tone. \"Today is my birthday. Can you at least attend?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia waved her hand dismissively. \"I do not want to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Siya immediately added, her voice trembling with what sounded like desperation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the last time I will invite you as my best friend. If not for that, then at least... remember the good times we once had.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words lingered. Olivia’s chest tightened despite herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Damn it... why did she have to bring that up?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Memories she had tried to bury surfaced anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, Siya had always been the one standing beside her, helping her act innocent whenever their pranks were discovered. In many ways, Siya had been her partner in crime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those had truly been some of the happiest moments of her childhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia clenched her jaw. ’Why am I remembering this now? I hate being this soft-hearted.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath, she looked at Siya and said firmly, \"This is the last time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for a reply, she turned and walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora watched the entire exchange and sighed, shaking her head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Among all of us, the softest one is definitely Olivia.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She always pretended to keep people at a distance, yet if there was something she could do for someone she once cared about, she would never refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora narrowed her eyes thoughtfully. ’I really need to teach her some harsh wisdom.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze drifted toward Siya. ’And perhaps... this girl will be useful for that lesson.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>..................\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Olivia and Theodore were about to settle on a place to sit and finalize their plans, Siya rushed over again, stopping them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia’s patience snapped. \"What else do you want now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siya chuckled awkwardly. \"I was hoping Theodore could come to the party too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia frowned. \"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siya hesitated before muttering, \"I originally wanted to invite a celebrity to make the party more lively, but I could not manage it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she looked up at Olivia with a nostalgic smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you remember? Once, you used my rented apartment to pretend you lived there, and I acted like a celebrity to help you save face.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia did remember. And she instantly regretted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I should never have accepted that favor.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She exhaled slowly. \"Fine. I will repay that today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning to Theodore, she asked, \"Do you have time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore agreed without hesitation. In truth, he did not feel comfortable letting Olivia attend Siya’s party alone. ’If something happens and she gets bullied again, I would never forgive myself.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...............\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That evening, as Olivia and Theodore were preparing to leave, Aurora stopped them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She handed Olivia a small pouch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia blinked in confusion. \"What is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora smiled mysteriously. \"There are many useful things inside. Check it while sitting in the car.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia nodded, though suspicion flickered in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, when she opened the pouch, her lips twitched uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’My sister... is terrifyingly thoughtful.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.................\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The party was held in a banquet hall inside a well-known hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia frowned slightly as she took in the lavish setting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Wasn’t she saying her family business was struggling? This does not look like someone cutting expenses.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She chose not to comment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore, meanwhile, wore a mask and dark glasses to avoid immediate recognition. Yet the moment they entered, attention still shifted toward them. It could not be helped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia’s natural beauty, paired with her elegant dress, drew eyes instantly. And Theodore, even in disguise, carried an unmistakable presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whispers began spreading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some assumed Olivia was Theodore’s girlfriend. A few jealous girls sneered quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His taste is not that great.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why would he date someone like her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their mocking voices reached Olivia’s ears, each word sharpening her anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was already considering leaving when suddenly Theodore’s hand slipped calmly around hers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward, smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello everyone. I am Theodore,\" he announced. Then he gestured gently toward her. \"And this lady beside me is Olivia, my twin sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence fell like a curtain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shock spread across their faces as they compared the two. Though they did not look identical, they shared subtle similarities, especially the shade of their hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realization dawned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same girls who had mocked Olivia rushed forward with exaggerated enthusiasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are truly beautiful!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, someone from his family would be this elegant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You look destined for greatness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compliments piled up, insincere and suffocating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia watched the sudden shift with cold amusement. ’Hypocrites. All of them.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaning toward Theodore, she whispered, \"If you ever bring home a sister-in-law like them, I will disown you. I will also hit you hard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore gave a small thumbs-up. \"If I ever lose my brain because of love, you have full permission to hit me hard and wake me up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Theodore’s earlier joke, Olivia only shook her head, the corners of her lips still twitching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Siya approached again, her heels clicking sharply against the polished marble floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She forced a bright smile. \"Theodore, how is everything? Are you enjoying the party?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore glanced around at the glittering chandeliers, the loud music, and the clusters of overly made-up guests laughing too loudly. He then looked back at Siya without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is one of the worst parties I have ever attended.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siya’s lips stiffened for a fraction of a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia bit the inside of her cheek to stop herself from laughing. ’My brother truly has no filter when he dislikes something.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siya recovered quickly, smoothing her expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps I am lacking a little because there are so many guests to handle,\" she said gently. \"But do not worry. I will personally take good care of you from now on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice dipped into something deliberately soft, almost seductive, and she even winked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore narrowed his eyes. \"Is your family the only one going bankrupt, or are you developing some strange illness as well?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1508,"2026-06-06T04:03:49.636Z",1,"novelbin.me","214c8cce0403d910c30de1d227421b025fa9f6a0352ad358f8acdcf52c2cacf6","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-544","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-542",614,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fborn-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-cover.jpg"]
