At first, Selena ignored it. She didn’t want to make a fuss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mia had already assured her. \"I won’t go back to her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after their engagement, Mia had indeed been calmer. More distant from Sel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But who would have thought... Sel would start crossing boundaries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering Selena’s space. Provoking her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not openly... but in subtle, passive-aggressive ways that left no evidence, yet stirred unease deep within her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Mia didn’t notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re overthinking,\" Mia had said lightly. Those words had pushed Selena to the edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The frustration. The helplessness. Finally, unable to bear it anymore, she reached out to Aurora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Aurora heard everything, she fell silent for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This situation...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she let out a small, incredulous laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really know how to get yourself into complicated situations,\" she teased lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selena sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I tried talking to Mia,\" she admitted, her voice tired. \"Every time I tell her Sel is dangerous, she just nods.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora leaned back slightly, thinking.\"Did she not say anything else?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selena’s expression darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She says Sel is just going through a hard time,\" she replied. \"She says... as her friend, and even as her sister, I should help her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora chuckled softly. \"Then if she’s so determined... why don’t you do the same?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selena blinked. \"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora’s eyes gleamed with a hint of mischief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Find someone else,\" she said. \"Someone who needs help even more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Selena didn’t understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then... It clicked. A slow smile spread across her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... you’re suggesting I do the same thing?\" she asked, a hint of disbelief in her voice. \"I didn’t think you’d ever suggest double-crossing your own best friend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora laughed lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If my best friend is going in the wrong direction,\" she replied calmly, \"then it’s my responsibility to guide her back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selena nodded slowly. ’I see...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, a woman named Lana started appearing more frequently at Selena’s house. Selena introduced her to Mia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is Lana,\" she said casually. \"She’s going through a tough time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Mia was sympathetic. Of course she was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She helped Lana, spoke kindly to her, even tried to comfort her. But as time passed...something changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mia began to notice. Lana’s constant craving for Selena’s attention and even clinginess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strange feeling crept into Mia’s chest. Jealousy. Subtle at first. Then sharper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know...\" Mia began one day, her tone hesitant, \"maybe she shouldn’t come here so often...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could finish... Selena cut her off. \"You’re overthinking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same words. The same tone. Mia froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words struck her harder than she expected. Without another word, she turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the door closed, Selena’s expression changed. She immediately reached for her phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’That was too much...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Mia walked away, her emotions swirling chaotically. ’I should just go to Sel...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought appeared suddenly. But the moment it did...she stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her steps halted. Her breath caught. ’What am I thinking...?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A realization struck her. Hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Is this... what Selena has been feeling all along...?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That discomfort. That unease. That strange pull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mia pressed her fingers against her forehead, her voice low and strained. \"I don’t even like Sel like that... so why...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did she feel compelled to listen? To follow? Even when she knew something was wrong?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confusion filled her mind. Eventually, she turned back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she returned, Selena was already waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she saw Mia...she rushed forward and hugged her tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m sorry,\" Selena whispered, her voice trembling. \"I won’t do that again... I’m really sorry...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mia froze for a second...then hugged her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m sorry too,\" she replied softly. \"I should’ve understood how you felt... but I kept ignoring you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her grip tightened. \"I’m the one at fault.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selena stiffened slightly. Mia continued, her voice quieter now. \"I think... I understand now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hesitated before speaking again. \"It’s not love... but when I’m around Sel... it feels like I have to listen to her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She frowned slightly. \"Even when I know she’s being hypocritical... I still let her in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice dropped to a whisper. \"I don’t understand what’s wrong with me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selena’s eyes widened. This was the first time she truly understood Mia’s perspective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gently patted her back. \"It’s okay,\" she murmured. \"We’ll figure it out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they hugged, Selena’s thoughts grew heavier. ’This isn’t normal...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A suspicion formed in her mind. ’This... might be Sel’s doing.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, Selena went to find Sel. Without hesitation, she spoke firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stay away from Mia,\" she said. \"Don’t come near her again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sel raised an eyebrow, amusement flickering in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\" she let out a soft laugh. \"And what exactly do you have to offer me... in return for that peace?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selena froze. ’So that’s it...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Money. That was her real goal. Taking a deep breath, Selena steadied herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much do you want?\" she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sel smiled slowly. \"At least this much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised a single finger. Selena misunderstood slightly and replied without hesitation...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can give you a hundred dollars.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air fell silent for a brief moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sel let out a low chuckle, the sound laced with mockery as she tilted her head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"100 dollars? You know what I mean,\" she said slowly, her eyes gleaming with amusement, \"and yet you’re still pretending to be this naïve?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stepped closer, her presence pressing in like an invisible weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you really think I’d settle for that little?\" her lips curled faintly. \"Selena, you’ve been playing in the stock market... and doing very well for yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selena stiffened. Her fingers curled slightly at her sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She knows...?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of shock passed through her eyes. Sel noticed it immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\" she chuckled again, softer this time, almost delighted. \"You didn’t expect me to know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leaned back casually, crossing her arms. \"I should thank Mia for that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selena’s brows furrowed. \"Mia...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sel smiled knowingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One day, she invited me over,\" she began, her tone almost conversational, \"and purely by accident... I happened to see something interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes darkened slightly. \"Your financial records.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selena’s breath hitched. Sel continued, almost savoring every word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You were receiving dividends of nearly a million dollars a year,\" she said, her voice dropping slightly. \"Do you have any idea how huge that is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let out a quiet laugh. \"And that was just the beginning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selena remained silent, her expression tightening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I looked deeper,\" Sel went on, her tone sharpening. \"And what I saw... was only the tip of the iceberg.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised a finger, counting slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ten million in profits. Fifteen million in total investments. A growing list of clients. And ongoing projects that could easily bring in another million once completed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each word felt heavier than the last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sel’s smile widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even for someone like you... that’s not a small amount, is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selena’s jaw tightened. Now it all made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So this was her plan... from the beginning...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sel had never come here by coincidence.She had been watching. Calculating. Waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sel took a step forward, her voice lowering into something almost dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve been patient,\" she admitted. \"I made sure to appear more often... to get closer... to make you uncomfortable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes locked onto Selena’s. \"Because I knew... one day... you’d come to me yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft, chilling laugh escaped her lips. \"And offer me money... just to get rid of me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tilted her head slightly. \"And when that moment came... I would drain you completely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selena slowly lifted her gaze, her expression returning to calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can forget about a million dollars,\" she said steadily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was firm. Unshaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s a huge amount,\" she continued. \"And no matter what you say... I won’t give it to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused for a moment before adding coldly...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If needed... I’ll file a restraining order against you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sel blinked...then burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp, mocking sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A restraining order?\" she repeated, amusement dripping from every syllable. \"Against me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leaned closer, her eyes narrowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How exactly are you planning to do that... against a family member who hasn’t done anything?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selena’s expression hardened. \"Don’t test me,\" she replied quietly. \"You’ll get nothing from me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sel’s laughter faded, replaced by something darker. Her gaze turned cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So she refuses...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief moment, silence stretched between them, thick and suffocating before Selena walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then... Sel’s lips slowly curled into a twisted smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I can’t have your money...\" she murmured softly, almost to herself, \"then you shouldn’t have it either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dangerous glint flashed in her eyes. Without hesitation, she pulled out her phone. Her fingers moved quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dialing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other end, her parents picked up. Sel’s voice changed instantly, turning emotional, almost trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need to tell you something...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then...she revealed everything. Every detail. About Selena. About her money. About her success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the call ended, Sel lowered her phone slowly. A smile spread across her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kind of smile that didn’t belong to victory... But to destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If I can’t rise...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers tightened around the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Then I’ll drag her down with me.’\u003C\u002Fp>",1541,"2026-06-06T04:03:52.406Z",1,"novelbin.me","9c44d191d168b5754470378b13a9b77b5cf34d42108aa2ea6d738c18e21a2736","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-575","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-573",614,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fborn-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-cover.jpg"]
