I swear I’ll repay you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know we weren’t that close, but you’re successful now... helping me shouldn’t be a problem, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their voices varied, some pleading, some entitled, some overly familiar, but the intent remained the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of them spoke about when they would return the money. None of them offered any real assurance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only vague promises. Indefinite timelines. Empty words. ’Not one of them remembers how they treated me back then...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam rubbed his temples, exhaustion seeping into his bones. The pressure kept building, call after call, message after message, until even silence felt heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, he refused them politely. \"I’m sorry, I can’t help. I have my own responsibilities. I’m not in a position to lend money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as more people came, some even reminding him of small favors they had done years ago, the situation became harder to handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guilt mixed with irritation. Obligation tangled with refusal. It was suffocating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Sunday morning, the sunlight filtered softly through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the kitchen. The faint clinking of cutlery and the comforting aroma of breakfast filled the air, yet Adam sat there, unmoving, his food barely touched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His brows were slightly furrowed, his gaze distant. Lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora walked into the kitchen quietly, her footsteps light against the floor. She reached for a glass, filling it with water, but her eyes lingered on Adam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused. ’He looks... tired.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frowning slightly, she set the glass down and walked over to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad,\" she said gently, her voice soft yet clear, \"what happened? Why do you look so lost?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing her voice, Adam blinked, as if being pulled back from a deep haze. He turned to look at her, and a faint smile formed on his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This daughter of his... She was truly a blessing that came late into his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing,\" he said with a quiet chuckle, waving his hand lightly. \"Just some annoying people bothering me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone turned firmer, more reassuring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll deal with them. You don’t need to worry about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora studied him for a moment, her gaze calm, not probing, yet understanding more than he realized. She didn’t press further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she gave a small nod. Then, with a faint smile, she said, \"If it gets difficult... you can tell me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice carried a quiet confidence. \"I’ll handle it for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused, her eyes glinting slightly. \"After all... not one of them stood by you when you were begging them, did they?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When it was time for my surgery... where were all of them?\" Aurora’s voice was calm, yet there was a quiet sharpness beneath it, like a blade hidden under silk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam’s fingers tightened slightly around his cup. Aurora continued, her tone steady, her gaze unwavering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These people like to stand on moral high ground now,\" she said softly. \"They speak as if they’ve done so much... but let’s not forget something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tilted her head slightly, a faint, almost mocking smile appearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Back then, whatever little help came... it never even crossed a thousand dollars.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Not even enough to matter... yet now they demand everything.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked directly at Adam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that’s the case, then you can return the same favor,\" she said. \"You can give them a thousand dollars each as a loan. That would already be more than what most of them did for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam fell silent, absorbing her words as the morning light reflected faintly in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora wasn’t done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And if they still continue to bother you...\" she added, her tone turning slightly colder, \"then there’s another way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She folded her arms lightly, thinking as she spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can make a condition. Tell them that you will only lend money to one person, the one who is truly in the most need.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused, letting the idea sink in. \"And they can decide among themselves who deserves it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint glint flashed in her eyes. \"But there will be a limit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised a finger slightly. \"One hundred thousand dollars. Not a single penny more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Adam frowned slightly, his brows knitting together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What if...\" he hesitated, then voiced his concern, \"what if after I give it to one person, the others still come to me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora chuckled softly, the sound light yet filled with confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s where the real game begins,\" she said. ’People reveal their true faces when money is involved.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You just need to make one more rule,\" she continued. \"Once you give the money to that one person, they don’t return it to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam blinked, surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They pass it on,\" Aurora said smoothly. \"They repay it by giving it to the next most needy person. And that person passes it on again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smiled faintly. \"Let them deal with each other.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Adam simply stared at her. Then, slowly, realization dawned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tense expression eased, and a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’When did she become this sharp...?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help but give her a small thumbs-up, a quiet chuckle escaping him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that, Aurora laughed softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It would be even better if you clearly state all these conditions beforehand,\" she added. \"That way, they won’t be able to accuse you later or twist your words.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam nodded, the heaviness in his chest finally easing. Then he looked at her, his eyes softening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve really grown up,\" he said with a gentle smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora waved her hand dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s nothing,\" she replied. Then her tone turned slightly serious. \"But don’t forget to tell me what happens after you deal with this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won’t disappoint you,\" Adam said firmly. And he didn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Adam put forward his conditions, everything changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called relatives, friends, colleagues, and neighbors, people who had once spoken sweetly, began to turn on each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group chat he created quickly turned chaotic. Messages flooded in. Accusations. Arguments. Hidden truths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, they began exposing each other. \"He’s lying! He doesn’t even need the money!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about you? Didn’t you just buy a new phone last week?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re the one who said you wanted to renovate your house!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The polite masks they once wore shattered completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam sat quietly, his phone in hand, the faint glow of the screen reflecting in his eyes as he scrolled through the messages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said nothing. Only watched. Only... screenshotted everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, after endless arguing, they reached a so-called agreement.A man named Trent would receive the money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Adam saw that, a faint, cold smile appeared on his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he sent a series of screenshots into the group. Messages. Proof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Conversations clearly showing that Trent didn’t actually need the money, he simply wanted to buy a car and a house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group fell silent. Then chaos erupted again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You lied to us?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you were just acting pitiful?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t even need the money!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Adam pointed out the chat history calmly, everyone suddenly realized something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been watching. From the very beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A suffocating embarrassment spread through the group. They had exposed themselves. Completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some, unable to bear the humiliation, lashed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you didn’t want to lend money, you could’ve just said so!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why humiliate us like this?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is too much!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others quickly agreed, trying to shift the blame. Adam stared at the messages, his expression unreadable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a quiet chuckle rose in his throat, though his eyes remained cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began typing. \"Honestly... I have a lot to say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The typing indicator blinked. \"But let me start with this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fingers paused for a moment. \"When my daughter needed surgery... I begged all of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group went still. \"You all disappeared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each word landed heavily. \"I told you I would repay you a hundred times over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No response. \"And now... you come to me like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long pause. \"At least be honest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was all. After sending that, Adam didn’t wait. One by one, he blocked them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Acquaintances. Friends. Neighbors. Everyone. Silence returned. But it was a different kind of silence this time. Cleaner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not all of them were entirely unreasonable. Some had only tried their luck, hoping to take advantage of his success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once Adam shut them down firmly, the fragile connections between them shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Conflicts broke out among them even after he left. Arguments. Blame. Resentment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam, however, felt nothing but disgust. ’This... is what they were all along.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, there was one exception. Jared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jared believed he had the right to ask. Once, he had been Adam’s best friend. Or at least... that’s what Adam had believed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, when Adam needed money the most, Jared had refused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had stood by, watching as Adam struggled, as he took on massive debt just to save Aurora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand your situation,\" Jared had said at the time. \"I’ll definitely help next time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when that \"next time\" came... He gave nothing. Not a single penny. Now, however, things were different.\u003C\u002Fp>",1507,"2026-06-06T04:03:52.406Z",1,"novelbin.me","931d4d29674e6e02c7c83a09242eabe5cabec4a25d410b2c6d64c1955b00edb4","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-580","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-578",614,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fborn-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-cover.jpg"]
