That made it even more meaningful. Aurora loved every single gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After cutting the cake and thanking everyone, her phone buzzed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A message from Spencer. \"My gift will arrive soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora smiled faintly, a small anticipation rising in her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, a deliveryman arrived, holding a manila envelope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora raised a brow slightly. ’What did he send this time...?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, she even wondered if it was some property document.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when she opened it... Her fingers trembled. Her breath hitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words on the paper blurred for a second as her mind struggled to process them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’A... gold mine?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If her parents gifting her a multi-million-dollar villa was shocking... this was on another level entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora felt as if the ground beneath her had shifted. Taking a deep breath, she immediately called him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is too much!\" she said the moment he picked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other end, Spencer chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s nothing,\" he said casually. \"Actually, I will turn 18 soon, too. Why not gift me something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora pressed her temples slightly. ’How can he sound so normal about this...?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she paused. Her expression turned serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I’ll give you something of equal value.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought for a moment. \"Maybe... shares of my company...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spencer laughed softly. \"But I don’t want them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora hesitated, then muttered, \"Then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spencer went silent for a second, then his voice turned softer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I could have you... completely... that would be the most valuable gift I could ever receive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora’s face flushed instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pouted, though her cheeks were burning. \"You really know how to flirt, don’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as she said that...she couldn’t stop the small smile forming on her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Aurora was immersed in a soft, almost intoxicating conversation with Spencer, Shay was elsewhere, sitting in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers tapped restlessly against the table, nails clicking in an uneven rhythm as her thoughts spiraled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Everything... everything has fallen apart.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every plan she had so carefully constructed had collapsed miserably, crumbling like fragile glass under pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time in a long while, she began to seriously reconsider her entire strategy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her new plan was simple... dangerously simple. The first step... meet Aurora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, she picked up her phone, her fingers hesitating for a fraction of a second before she typed out a message to Lily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Introduce me to Aurora.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Lily stared at her phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since she had started going through an accident, something inside her had begun to shift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hatred she once felt so intensely toward the Brown family had started to feel... unstable, like a memory that no longer belonged to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then there was Shay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name itself made her chest tighten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, even under that strange, suffocating influence, there had always been a faint thread of affection... something soft and confusing. But now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s gone... completely gone.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The realization sent a chill down her spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she had known the truth, that this was all because of Kate... she might have broken down entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abby had been using subtle psychological methods she had only recently begun to master, carefully dismantling whatever hold had been placed on Lily’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone else had tried something like this, they would have been exposed long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Lily was never allowed to interact freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one could approach her for long, and she herself wasn’t even allowed to watch psychological content.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her phone had been heavily restricted, every app monitored, every possibility of \"outside influence\" eliminated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was all done to ensure she would never seek out or stumble upon any form of hypnotism beyond what had already been imposed on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now... things were changing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abby wasn’t just undoing the control; she was making Lily remember.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every detail. Every manipulation. Every buried emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And through that... she was planting discord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If the Brown family fractures... everything will fall apart on its own.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that lingering thought, Lily pressed her lips together, her fingers tightening around her phone before she finally typed out a message to Aurora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora had just finished her eighteenth birthday celebration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leaned back against the plush cushions, scrolling lazily through her messages, when Lily’s text appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment her eyes landed on it, they narrowed slightly. Then... she smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slow, knowing smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Interesting... I was just thinking about how to approach Shay.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now... Shay had walked right into her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She invited herself... how convenient.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers moved without hesitation. \"Sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was too perfect an opportunity to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only would she finally meet Shay face-to-face, but she might also uncover more about that incident... the one that had been lingering in her thoughts like an unsolved puzzle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other end, Lily blinked at the screen, her tension easing just a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She... agreed? Just like that?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been fully prepared for rejection, for suspicion, for complications, but none of that came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Was I... overthinking this?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Letting out a quiet sigh, she quickly sent a message to Shay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The meeting is set.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, inside a private room of a high-end restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shay sat across from Aurora, her posture relaxed, but her eyes sharp and observant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She studied Aurora carefully. \"You’re even more beautiful than I expected.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora’s beauty wasn’t just physical; it carried a quiet dominance, something that naturally drew attention and commanded presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora, in turn, observed Shay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for a brief moment, her eyes flickered with surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So this is Shay ...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shay possessed a different kind of beauty, gentle yet undeniably seductive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kind that could make people lose themselves without realizing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was something about her... something that instinctively pulled others closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora’s lips curved slightly. \"You’re very beautiful too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shay’s gaze deepened as she leaned forward slightly. \"Tell me something... have you awakened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora tilted her head, her expression shifting into one of mild confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Awakened? What are you talking about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tone was casual, almost dismissive, as if the question itself were absurd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shay chuckled softly, the sound low and knowing. \"You don’t have to pretend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes locked onto Aurora’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From what I remember, Aurora was just a normal seventeen-year-old girl... someone who liked to brag and show off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused, letting her words sink in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you...\" Her lips curved faintly. \"You’re acting like someone entirely different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers tapped lightly against the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone who owns far more than she lets on. Someone who makes investments quietly... even hiring hackers to clean things up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora tried her best to hold on her laughter\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So... she thinks that I hired a hacker to deal with that Jim? But then again... even she knows about plot?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant one thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’m not the only one who knows the plotline.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the briefest moment, she had believed she was alone in this, after Eleanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But clearly... she wasn’t. A slow smile spread across her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was wondering how long you’d keep pretending.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leaned back slightly, her gaze calm yet sharp. \"I thought you’d try harder to hide it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes gleamed faintly. \"But here you are... acting so openly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shay let out a soft laugh. \"I don’t like wasting time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora nodded in agreement, her tone equally calm. \"Neither do I.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leaned forward slightly, her voice dropping just enough to carry weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So tell me... why did you arrange this meeting?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief second, Shay said nothing. But inside...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So my guess was right.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her suspicion had just been confirmed. She looked directly at Aurora, her expression steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You need to follow the plotline.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora’s gaze didn’t waver. \"And if I don’t?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shay’s lips parted slightly as she spoke, her voice quiet... yet heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then you will die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brief silence fell between them, thick and suffocating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora chuckled softly, though there was something colder beneath it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m the villain anyway, aren’t I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers traced the edge of the table lazily. \"The villain is supposed to die... to give the hero justice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shay insisted again. \"So shouldn’t a competent villain... follow the script?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora shook her head slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I were the old Aurora... the one who didn’t have money,\" she let out a faint breath, \"maybe I would’ve played along for it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze sharpened. \"But I’m not her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leaned in, her voice firm. \"I won’t follow the plot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pause. \"I’ll create a new one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips curved into a faint, dangerous smile. \"A story where there’s no hero... and no villain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes locked onto Shay’s. \"You live your life. I’ll live mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shay’s expression hardened slightly as she shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you try to change the plot... there will be consequences.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice dropped, colder now. \"Consequences you won’t be able to live with.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora let out a quiet laugh, almost amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Up until now... there hasn’t been anything I couldn’t live without.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1508,"2026-06-06T04:03:52.406Z",1,"novelbin.me","fdf009e200cafd242944046f00e68941305b8825a32975c6e02e68238bf712a6","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-583","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-581",614,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fborn-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-cover.jpg"]
