A fall. An airplane crash.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let the words linger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And I’m sure the Brown family is... more than capable of making any death look natural.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shay’s pupils shrank. A faint chill crept up her spine. Aurora didn’t stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She flipped another page. \"And then there’s clause 4.1.3.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tone turned colder. \"It says my family must pay a lump sum if I fail to ’follow the plot.’\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She emphasized the last words with a soft, almost sarcastic laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"’Follow the plot’... such an interesting phrase.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze locked onto Shay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s so ambiguous that you could twist it however you like.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pause. \"You could claim I violated it at any time... and demand compensation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence. Heavy. Oppressive. Shay stood there, completely stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She caught... everything.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bead of cold sweat slid down her back. ’This... this isn’t normal.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora looked at her, her expression calm but cutting. \"What was that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tone carried a sharp edge now. \"You really thought I wouldn’t notice?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something inside Shay snapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fists clenched tightly as she shot to her feet, the chair scraping harshly against the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rage flooded her veins, hot and uncontrollable. Before she could think, her hand moved toward the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was about to sweep everything off, plates, glasses, everything, but in that exact moment... Aurora moved faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a swift motion, she grabbed the tablecloth and yanked it violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dishes rattled, some tilting dangerously, a few clattering loudly but stopping just short of falling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shay froze mid-motion. Aurora’s voice cut through the air like a blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t act crazy in front of me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes burned with a dangerous light. \"I’m not here to tolerate your tantrums.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pause. Her lips curved slightly. \"I can be far crazier than you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, she turned. And walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shay stood there, unmoving. Watching her back. For the first time in a long while...she felt...shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not angry. Not calculating. But genuinely shaken. ’This... was a loss.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after Aurora had long disappeared from sight, Shay remained standing there, her body stiff, her mind blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took several minutes before she finally inhaled deeply and forced herself to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Brown family mansion loomed large and silent, its vast halls echoing faintly with each step Shay took inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waiting for her was her father. The moment he saw her, his face lit up with a forced, almost eager smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward slightly. \"Did the princess have a bad day?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chuckled nervously. \"How about we make it better...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smack. The sound echoed sharply. Shay’s hand had already struck his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His head snapped to the side. He froze. Completely. His eyes widened, his body trembling faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at him, her voice cold and flat. \"Did I ask you to speak?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook. Literally. Like a leaf caught in a storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"S-Sorry... I’m sorry... I was wrong ...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smack. Another slap. Harder this time. His cheek reddened instantly, but he didn’t dare resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn’t dare move. Her voice dropped further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You will not say a single word... until I allow it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned away from him and walked toward the sofa, her steps slow but heavy with suppressed anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting down, she leaned back and closed her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers moved to her temples, pressing gently as if trying to contain the storm inside her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room was silent, except for her voice. \"Go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pause. \"Assemble all of them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her father didn’t hesitate. He rushed away immediately. Within minutes, he returned, followed by her brothers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jim. Tim. Remi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stood in a line, their postures stiff, their expressions uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their names almost sounded like a rhyme, something she herself had once chosen, a twisted sense of control even in something as simple as identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To her, they weren’t brothers; they were tools. She slowly opened her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile appeared. Soft. Dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What have you achieved... in the past few weeks?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, they began to speak. Tim swallowed nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I acquired two new businesses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jim quickly followed. \"I ranked among the top hackers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remi straightened slightly. \"I became one of the most sought-after eSports players.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She listened. Silently. Then, she chuckled. \"Good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pause. \"Now... pour me some wine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her father immediately rushed forward, his movements hurried and careful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faint clink of glass filled the air as he poured deep red wine into a crystal glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He handed it to her with both hands, his posture submissive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took it. Swirled it gently. Then spoke...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve done so much for this family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was calm, but something dark lingered beneath. \"All this wealth... all these achievements ...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes moved across each of them. \"They exist because of me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pause. \"So tell me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze sharpened. \"What have you done for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence. No one answered. No one dared to. She laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, without warning, she threw the glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It shattered against the floor, wine splashing across marble like spilled blood. \"Nothing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice rose, sharp and cutting. \"You’ve done nothing for me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes swept across them, filled with fury. \"How can you all be so ungrateful?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fear spread across their faces. Even her father looked terrified now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward slightly, his voice trembling. \"Did... did your meeting with Aurora not go well?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let out a bitter laugh. \"How could it go well?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her nails dug into her palm. \"How could it... when I’m the only one putting in effort?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice rose, almost cracking with frustration. \"From the moment I was born... this family relied on a system.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A system that promised... as long as you catered to me... you would gain everything you desired.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pause. Her lips curled. \"But there was another rule... wasn’t there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze turned cold. \"If you ever start to hate me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice dropped to a whisper. \"You lose everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, the Brown family had treated it like a passing season... something temporary, something uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then...things began to change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shay started smiling more around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not the cold, distant smile she usually wore, but something softer... warmer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with that shift, their business began to grow, slowly at first, then rapidly, like a flood that couldn’t be stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One company succeeded. Then another. Then ten more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within just twenty years, the Brown family rose to the very top, becoming the richest family in the entire nation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It reached a point where...they didn’t just respect Shay. They worshipped her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even her brothers, who once lingered in her shadow, began achieving impossible feats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their success stacked one over another, each victory almost unnatural in its timing and scale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Shay herself? She was a prodigy. A renowned hypnotist. A genius with multiple degrees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman whose presence alone could bend people’s will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet...even after all that...she was told to go to high school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To hide her identity. To act like a nobody. To suffer humiliation... rejection... pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And only after enduring all of it, she would reveal who she truly was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And crush everyone. The moment she received that instruction...fear gripped her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rare, unfamiliar fear. ’Why... should I suffer?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, she had gone to her parents, her voice tight, her emotions barely contained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won’t do this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead of arguing, they replaced her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A girl who could pass as her. A substitute. A puppet. That was where Lily came in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Abby... Abby was something else entirely. A variable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been brought into the mansion under a different pretense: that her \"luck\" was extraordinary. That if absorbed, it could elevate the Brown family even further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they kept her. Pampered her. Lied to her. Made her believe she was the real daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the while, they drained her luck. Piece by piece. Until there was nothing left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when she was empty... They threw her away. Lily stayed. Because she had a role to play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A body double. A shadow of Shay. But now...everything was falling apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shay sat in silence, her fingers pressing against her temples as a dull ache throbbed in her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If this continues ...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was barely above a whisper. \"I’ll lose everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then...a thought flashed across her mind. Her eyes slowly opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And a smile spread across her lips. Cold. Calculated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, right... how could I forget about them... They have helped me till now; they should be able to do it again, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a quick call her mood improved and she laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aurora... let’s see how you will escape now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora walked into the university with a bored expression, her hands tucked casually into her pockets as the usual chatter of students buzzed around her.\u003C\u002Fp>",1505,"2026-06-06T04:03:52.406Z",1,"novelbin.me","c0ab6e5a0b8df316d23d763ce454b77ef442542c2626ffb9d73ad5f6b6ca8a5a","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-585","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-583",614,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fborn-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-cover.jpg"]
