We found out that Gray Winston was the one who framed my father. And isn’t he a close friend of your husband?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rose sighed dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, Olivia, always looking for someone to blame. Maybe your father did steal and got caught.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia took a step forward, but Theodore grabbed her arm, keeping her back. \"Enough, Rose,\" he said, his voice sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Lancaster shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This conversation is pointless. If you don’t have proof, don’t waste my time. Now, if you’ll excuse us—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t need us to tell you what you already know,\" Theodore interrupted smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes locked onto Mrs. Lancaster’s with an unshakable confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Guilty people always act like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rose’s smirk faltered for just a second, but she quickly recovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re so dramatic, Theodore. Go home before you embarrass yourself further.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Lancaster cast a glance in Theodore’s direction and suddenly smiled,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Theodore, right? I know you are currently looking for a ground-breaking role in the entertainment industry. Did you notice though, that for the past few weeks, you haven’t been receiving any opportunities?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore’s face turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for your eldest brother...what was his name again...Ah! Right! Lucas. He can lose his part-time. Then there is your eldest sister, Adriana, who works as a waitress, right? I can get her fired too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your mother Mary works as a part-time librarian...Haha, what if someday she makes a mistake and by accident sets a fire in the library? How much will she be liable to pay then, Rose?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rose giggled, flipping her hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Around $100,000, I think?\" she said mockingly. \"That would be really bad, wouldn’t it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore clenched his fists so tightly his knuckles turned white. Olivia felt her whole body shake with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Lancaster tilted her head, her smile never fading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You see, dear, sometimes it’s better to know your place. Your family is already struggling, isn’t it? It would be such a shame if things got... worse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia took a step forward, but Theodore grabbed her wrist, stopping her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you threatening us?\" Theodore asked, his voice low and cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Lancaster chuckled softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, no, no. I’m just giving you a friendly warning. If you walk away now, no harm will come to you or your family. But if you keep pushing...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sighed dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, accidents happen all the time, don’t they?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rose smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, Olivia. Maybe you should just drop this. After all, last time, you were the one who caused trouble first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My poor dad’s friend, Mr. Winston, is just doing what he thinks is right. Your father was caught stealing car parts, wasn’t he?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s a lie!\" Olivia shouted. \"You know it is!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rose shrugged. \"Well, if it’s a lie, then prove it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia gritted her teeth. She wanted to punch Rose so badly, but she knew that wouldn’t solve anything. Instead, she glared at Mrs. Lancaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore suddenly bent down and said softly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am sorry ma’am, it was our father’s mistake. We will compensate accordingly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Lancaster raised an eyebrow, clearly amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? So you finally understand your place?\" she asked, her voice dripping with mock sympathy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rose smirked. \"Took you long enough, Theo. If you had just admitted it earlier, things wouldn’t have to be so difficult for your family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Theodore didn’t respond to them. Instead, he kept his head slightly lowered, his face calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia’s eyes widened in shock. \"Theodore! What are you saying?!\" she hissed, grabbing his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore gently squeezed her hand, signaling her to stay quiet. Then, he looked up at Mrs. Lancaster and forced a weak smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We don’t want any trouble,\" he said. \"Just tell us how much we need to pay, and we’ll figure something out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Lancaster chuckled. \"Oh, how sensible of you. I knew you weren’t as foolish as your sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned to Rose. \"See, dear? This is how smart people handle things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rose nodded, grinning. \"Right! Unlike Olivia, who just runs her mouth all the time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she didn’t say anything. She trusted Theodore—he must have a reason for saying this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Lancaster took a step closer to Theodore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you’re finally being reasonable, let me make things easy for you. Just pay the $50,000 your father owes, and we’ll consider this matter closed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore lowered his head again. \"Thank you for your kindness, ma’am.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Lancaster smiled, clearly pleased with herself. \"Good. I’ll give you a few weeks to get the money together. But if you fail...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She trailed off and shrugged. \"Well, let’s just say I’d hate to see your family suffer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, she and Rose left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment they disappeared, Olivia grabbed Theodore’s arm again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What was that?! Why did you say that?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore straightened up, his eyes sharp and serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Olivia who we are?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia blinked in surprise before replying,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Waters Family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much savings do we have?\" Theodore asked gently, but the corner of his eyes turned slightly red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"More than $420,000,\" Olivia answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much do they have in their bank account?\" Theodore continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"100’s of Millions...\" Olivia answered with an irritated expression, \"But what does that have to do with this case, are you asking me to bow to their powers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. Now tell me how well connected they are?\" Theodore asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia crossed her arms, her brows furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well connected. They have friends in business, politics, and even law enforcement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly. And how much power do we have?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not much. But that doesn’t mean we should just let them walk all over us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore sighed, rubbing his temples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not saying we should. But if we go against them head-on without proof, they’ll crush us. The cruel reality is Olivia, even if we fight head-on with all the power and money we have, we will never win, do you know why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia was irritated.\u003C\u002Fp>",995,"2026-06-06T04:03:40.622Z",1,"novelbin.me","9395ab46d69f38593353065aeccdd8070a450f4d20021bdf14be2b8e8575a634","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-58","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-56",614,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fborn-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-cover.jpg"]
