What’s going on?\" Adam asked, his voice shaky with confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His father didn’t respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued searching through Adam’s things, throwing clothes, books, and papers around as if he were looking for something important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, his mother walked in, her face stern and her arms crossed. She stared at Adam, her eyes cold and filled with disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Adam,\" she said sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know anything about the family heirloom necklace? The one my mother-in-law gave me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam blinked, his mind racing. \"What? No, I don’t know anything about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could say anything else, his eldest brother entered the room with a stranger following behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man was short and wore a thick gold chain around his neck. He had a smirk on his face as he looked at Adam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His brother pointed to the jeweler. \"Tell us, who sold the necklace to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The jeweler glanced at Adam, then nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was him. He came into my shop three days ago and sold it. I remember his face clearly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam felt as if the air had been knocked out of him. \"What? No! I’ve never even seen you before! You’re lying!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His father scoffed, his expression dark. \"Enough, Adam. We all know it was you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam’s chest tightened. \"I didn’t do it! I swear!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His father’s face twisted in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You expect us to believe that? After everything? Don’t forget, you have kleptomania. You steal things!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam’s throat tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I’ve been taking my medication! The urge to steal is almost gone! It’s under control! I didn’t do this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mother stepped forward, her voice cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then hand over the money you got from selling the necklace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam shook his head, tears stinging his eyes. \"I don’t have any money because I didn’t steal it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His father’s expression turned even darker. \"If you don’t return the money, you’re out of this house.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam’s breath caught. \"No... Dad, please! I swear I didn’t do it! Why don’t you believe me?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His father’s gaze remained hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because you’re a thief, Adam. You always have been. Now, give us the money or get out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam looked at his mother, and his brother—desperation filling his heart. But their faces were cold, unmoving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears rolled down his cheeks as he realized the truth. No matter what he said, no one would believe him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wiped his tears and said firmly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I truly haven’t stolen the necklace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His father and his mother glanced at him with a disappointed look and in the end, they sent him away to his cousin’s house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam was heartbroken, but he was determined to prove his innocence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t the type of person who would take it lying down when he was accused of things he never did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the cruel reality hit him hard in his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news spread like wildfire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the next morning, Adam’s classmates knew everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t sure who had told them—maybe it was his brother, maybe his cousin—but it didn’t matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The damage was done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he walked into school, the whispers started immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There he is,\" someone muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard he stole from his own family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be careful, he might take your stuff too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam kept his head down and gripped the straps of his backpack tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel their eyes on him, filled with suspicion and disgust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked to his seat, but as soon as he passed by a boy’s desk, the boy yanked his pencil case closer, as if Adam might snatch it away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam froze for a second before clenching his jaw and sitting down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had done nothing wrong, but that didn’t matter. No one believed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At lunchtime, he carried his tray to an empty table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t surprised—no one wanted to sit with him anymore. Just a week ago, he used to laugh with his friends and share snacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, when he glanced at them, they quickly looked away or pretended to be busy. He was completely alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One day, during a math test, Adam reached into his bag for a pencil. That was when a girl screamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My wallet! It’s gone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire class turned toward her, then toward Adam. His blood ran cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Check his bag!\" someone shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Adam could even react, the teacher was already walking toward him. \"Adam, open your bag.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam’s hands trembled as he unzipped his backpack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind was racing. He knew the wallet wouldn’t be there because he hadn’t taken it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what if someone had put it in there to frame him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teacher rifled through his things, then finally sighed. \"It’s not here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl hesitated before checking under her desk. Her face turned red as she pulled out the wallet. \"Oh... It was here the whole time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few students chuckled, but most of them still looked at Adam suspiciously, as if they still believed he could have stolen it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam swallowed the lump in his throat and turned back to his test, his hands gripping his pencil so tightly they turned white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things weren’t better at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cousin’s parents didn’t say anything outright, but he could see the way they looked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The way they whispered when he entered the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One night, he overheard his aunt talking to his cousin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stay away from Adam. You don’t want to pick up his bad habits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cousin hesitated. \"But what if he didn’t—\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1009,"2026-06-06T04:03:40.622Z",1,"novelbin.me","66df9ab1299e4563184f3fc1b2a8c7a7bbe995766fd8fd7c7d76488877722f96","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-71","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-402",614,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fborn-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-cover.jpg"]
