I just... want peace... I want one more chance... to do things differently...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes slowly drifted shut, her expression serene, as if she had already accepted everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system fell completely silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, in a low, almost detached voice, it announced...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[System synchronization failed... Host life signal... lost. Plot deviation... irreversible. Player 598... terminated.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That very night, a biting winter wind howled faintly outside, pressing cold shadows against the windows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his room, Theodore slept soundly beneath thick covers, the heater humming softly in the background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then suddenly... His breath hitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, it was subtle, like a faint pressure against his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shifted slightly, frowning in his sleep. ’What... is this...?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the feeling worsened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if the air around his neck was being sucked away, leaving nothing but emptiness behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His chest tightened violently, each attempt to breathe becoming more shallow than the last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes snapped open. \"Ghk!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to inhale, but no air came. Panic surged instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clawed at his throat, his nails scraping against his skin as his body jerked upright. The room suddenly felt too small, too sealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I can’t breathe! I’m going to die!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thrashed wildly, his arm hitting the bedside lamp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sharp sound shattered the silence as the lamp fell and broke, fragments scattering across the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no one came. The room was soundproof. The realization hit him like a death sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’No one can hear me...!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Desperation consumed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stumbling out of bed, his legs weak and trembling, he dragged himself toward the door, each step heavier than the last as darkness crept into the edges of his vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time he reached the door, his fingers were numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slammed his fist against it. Bang! Bang! Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Help!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice came out hoarse, barely audible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Summoning the last of his strength, he fumbled with the handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that exact moment, Adriana happened to be passing by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the frantic pounding, she rushed forward and unlocked the door fully with the master key.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight before her made her freeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Theodore?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had collapsed on the floor, his face pale, lips tinged blue, his chest heaving as if he were on the verge of his last breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened to you?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without wasting a second, she rushed to the windows and threw them open, letting the icy night air rush inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold wind cut through the room, but it brought with it life... oxygen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take a deep breath! Slowly... slowly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Theodore felt his consciousness slipping away... the suffocating pressure vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Completely. As if it had never been there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Air flooded back into his lungs, making him gasp violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah! Hah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adriana watched him closely, her own breathing uneven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his color slowly return, she let out a shaky sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What was that...? Why did you suddenly look like you were suffocating?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore took a long, trembling breath, his voice still weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I don’t know ...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swallowed hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It felt like... like someone was sitting on my chest... stopping me from breathing ...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At those words, Adriana’s expression changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her brows furrowed as she slowly turned her head, scanning the room with a wary, almost fearful gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air suddenly felt colder. Her heart began to pound. She grabbed Theodore’s hand tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want to live...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice dropped to a whisper. \"Then go sleep in Lucas’s room tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore frowned at first. \"What? Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he saw her eyes. Wide awake, alert, searching every dark corner...a chill ran down his spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Is there... something here...?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t argue anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"O-Okay...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, Theodore slipped into Lucas’s room and quietly climbed onto the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas stirred slightly, sensing the movement, but didn’t open his eyes. It had become a habit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever Adriana or Olivia got scared, they would come here without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonight was no different. Well... almost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lucas...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas muttered sleepily. \"Go away... let me sleep ...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore immediately clung to him, wrapping his arms tightly around him like a lifeline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s no ghost... right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas frowned, half-asleep. \"Sleep...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore forced a small, nervous smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah... yeah... sleep ...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clinging tightly, he finally drifted off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his dream he saw Eleanor. Lifeless. Cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Mateo was dragged away, sentenced to prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he himself is dying due to a mysterious reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He jolted slightly in his sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time morning arrived, Theodore sat at the breakfast table, looking distant and pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone noticed. Olivia tilted her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened to you? You look like you ran into a horror movie.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora glanced at him too, her gaze sharp, as if trying to see through him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Did something happen last night...?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore forced a small smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s nothing... just a bad dream.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, as if remembering something, he looked at Olivia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you check the news about Mateo?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia frowned immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you even bringing up that disgusting man?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore chuckled awkwardly. \"I was just... curious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rolling her eyes, Olivia picked up her phone. \"It’s been ringing since morning anyway ...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she opened the group chat, her expression suddenly froze. \"What...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes widened as she quickly read the message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she slowly looked up at Theodore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you... have some kind of dream about Matteo?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore’s heart skipped a beat. But he immediately shook his head. \"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia smirked slightly. \"Really? Then how did you know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lifted her phone. \"He’s been sentenced to jail.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence fell instantly. Aurora’s eyes widened. So did Theodore’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all...that was exactly what he had seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia continued, her tone softening slightly. \"And... Eleanor ...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hesitated. \"She passed away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room went completely still. A heavy silence settled over everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they had met Eleanor before. She had been so cheerful... so full of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would have thought... that in just a year...she would be gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could only sit there, quietly, as the weight of the news pressed down on their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Olivia felt a quiet pang of pity, though she knew well how much Eleanor had hurt her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She really has the worst luck ever...’ Olivia thought, her fingers unconsciously tightening against her sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was undeniable; Eleonora was talented, exceptionally so, but sometimes talent came with a cost that others could not see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a slow, steady breath, Olivia lifted her gaze toward everyone. Her voice was calm, but there was a subtle firmness beneath it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s not dwell on this topic any longer. Why don’t we talk about something better?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A murmur of agreement rippled through the group, and the tense air loosened just a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the chatter, Aurora leaned back slightly, her eyes unfocused as she recalled her meeting with Lily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Aurora had asked Lily about the rich man’s daughter, Lily had arranged a private meeting the moment they arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the café’s secluded room, dimly lit with warm amber lights, Lily leaned forward, her voice lowered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can tell you everything... the special references, the identity, even her secret identity. But you have to swear you won’t tell anyone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora had smiled faintly and nodded. \"Alright, I swear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But deep within, her thoughts were cold and detached. ’Swear? That is just your way to make sure that no one else destroy your plan.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unbeknownst to Lily, in the adjacent room, Spencer sat surrounded by a faint glow from multiple screens, his fingers moving rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soft tapping of keys echoed like a quiet storm. He was attempting to breach Lily’s system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora herself had never encountered Lily’s system before, but she knew one thing... if Lily possessed one, it would undoubtedly involve some form of electromagnetic energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If that’s true... then direct interference won’t work. You’d need to destabilize it indirectly ...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was exactly what Spencer was attempting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He focused intensely, his eyes reflecting lines of code. ’If I can sync with the energy emissions... I might be able to bridge into her network.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that exact moment, Lily, seated calmly across Aurora, suddenly felt a sharp, splitting headache. Her fingers twitched slightly against the table as a wave of dizziness passed through her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What... is this...?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet she suppressed it, forcing a composed smile. After all, this was the first time Aurora had shown such interest in something she offered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart fluttered with excitement. ’Finally... it’s happening. She’s finally accepting it.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Aurora maintained her calm expression, though her mind was calculating every second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She deliberately stretched the conversation, her tone casual. \"By the way, how are you so close to the rich man’s daughter? Some of this information isn’t even available online.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lily let out a soft, slightly nervous chuckle, her fingers brushing against her cup. \"Well... it’s a long story. I’ll tell you when I have more time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora’s lips curved faintly. \"Now that you’re already here talking about her, shouldn’t you at least tell me something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1536,"2026-06-06T04:03:52.406Z",1,"novelbin.me","caac7aa30f0467882d88fabe6b3688807e49d0d6081cd98399d42e95cf633a32","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-569","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-567",614,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fborn-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-cover.jpg"]
