They had already decided he was guilty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe it’s time we stop giving him chances,\" his aunt said sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s a lost cause. A thief is a thief. Let’s not pretend otherwise. Kick him out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His uncle nodded, his jaw set.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I agree. I won’t tolerate a criminal in my house.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam’s chest tightened, but he refused to let them see his pain. He was used to this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Used to being discarded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His father suddenly stood up, his face a storm of rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You ungrateful brat!\" Before Adam could react, a fist slammed into his cheek, sending him sprawling to the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A metallic taste filled his mouth. Blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t steal anything,\" Adam whispered, his voice barely audible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another blow. Then another. Each one was followed by the same accusation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Liar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thief.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Disgrace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam didn’t fight back. He didn’t cry. He didn’t plead. He just stared blankly at the floor, repeating the same words like a broken record.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t steal anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, his father stepped back, breathing heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get out,\" he spat. \"And don’t ever come back. Not here. Not to your uncle’s house. Nowhere. You’re not my son.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam slowly pushed himself up, blood dripping from his lip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to his mother, his brother, his cousin—none of them met his eyes. His own parents don’t trust him anymore...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a word, he walked to the door and stepped out into the cold night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam didn’t know where he was going. He didn’t have friends or family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His only will to live left was Mary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, Adam! You can’t give up! Remember your dream, right? You have to live! For her!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam went to school the next day in the hopes of changing his future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the next 2 months, he struggled. He would find some garden or benches to sleep at, take showers in school, and look for a job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he landed a job and moved to a small apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He studied every single day. He wanted to change his fate, his destiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, fate was truly against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, he got to know that Mary and Ethan were getting engaged. Just as he was reeling from the shock, his story about stealing things at his uncle’s house spread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam could see his world falling apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mere thought of seeing disgust in Mary’s eyes the next day made him tremble. He couldn’t face her...he could never...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the third worst news? The term was about to end, and he had to pay $8,000 in school fees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>$8000...it was a big amount for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when he was not earning more than $1000 per year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Student loan? His document was rejected due to insufficient collaterals...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Adam dropped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He moved to a far away location and became a mechanic. Lived there, ate the free lunch provided by the boss, and saved up some money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within 2 years, he rented a small apartment in the suburbs of New York.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life went by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam never looked back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to remember how his family never believed him and wronged him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to remember how his only source of light became someone else’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to remember his naive self who dreamt of things he could never reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a new name and new identity, he hoped never to see anyone from his past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...........\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I looked in Mr. Adam’s histroy and found something more interesiting. Mr. Adam, isn’t it true that you have Kleptomania?\" Mr. Hendrick asked with a knowing smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam felt his heart skipping a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sophia gazed in Adam’s direction and, seeing his reaction, understood everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as a professional lawyer, she was used to such situations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly composed herself and turned back to Mr. Hendricks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Objection, Your Honor,\" she said firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Hendricks is attempting to diagnose my client without any credible medical evidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless he has certified medical documents proving such a condition, this claim is purely speculative and intended to damage my client’s credibility.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The judge adjusted his glasses and turned his attention to Mr. Hendricks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Hendricks, do you have any certified medical records proving Mr. Waters has kleptomania?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Hendricks cleared his throat and looked at the judge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Honor, while we do not have a recent medical record, we have testimonies from his past family members confirming his tendencies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sophia smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, no medical evidence? Just the biased words of people who abandoned him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned to the judge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Honor, the defense is attempting to use unverified statements to assassinate my client’s character rather than provide tangible evidence related to this case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My client’s past, even if their claims were true, has no bearing on the current lawsuit against Mr. Winston.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We are here to discuss the false accusations and financial exploitation my client suffered at Mr. Winston’s hands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The judge nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I agree. Unless you have medical documents or evidence directly linking Mr. Waters to this alleged disorder, I will not allow these claims to influence the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The court will not entertain baseless character attacks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Hendricks clenched his jaw but nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood, Your Honor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sophia took the opportunity to press forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, let’s return to the real issue at hand. The sudden deposit of $450,000 into my client’s account.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Winston’s legal team claims this is suspicious, yet they fail to explain where the money actually came from. Well, Your Honor, we have that answer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She signaled her assistant, who promptly handed a document to the judge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a verified transaction report showing that the money in my client’s account was from selling the gold bought by Miss Emily, who is a family friend of Mr. Adam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the document showing that Miss Emily hasn’t sold any car parts in the past few days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1008,"2026-06-06T04:03:40.622Z",1,"novelbin.me","f1fb2f840cee7b1939de3fcd2dfc08f42aa8d6737b89c942af63ef1c2ec29706","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-404","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-403",614,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fborn-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-cover.jpg"]
