The generous and caring stepmother or the scheming stepmother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young female doctor and nurse exchanged uneasy glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But Miss Aurora,\" the nurse hesitated, \"your stepmother... she might not agree.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora arched an eyebrow. \"That’s her problem, not mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t going to pay for someone else’s decision—especially when she had no recollection of agreeing to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If her so-called stepmother wanted to act generous in front of others, then she could also act responsible when the bill came knocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nurse nodded and stepped away to make the call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, she returned with a complicated expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your stepmother said... you should be the one to handle it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer to her previous question arrived, scheming stepmother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora flashed a sweet smile to the nurse and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you don’t mind, can you give me your phone and dial my stepmother’s phone number?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nurse, feeling sympathy for Aurora, dailed the stepmother’s number again and passed the phone to Aurora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora turned the recording function on and pressed the phone to her ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the call was connected, a gentle voice sounded,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora’s lips curled slightly as she leaned back against the hospital bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stepmother,\" she said, her tone dripping with honeyed sweetness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard from the hospital staff that you were the one who arranged for me to stay in the VIP ward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a slight pause on the other end. Then, the gentle voice replied,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, Aurora, dear! Of course I did. You were in critical condition. I wanted you to have the best care possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora’s smile didn’t reach her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s so thoughtful of you,\" she said, twirling a strand of her hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then naturally, since you made the decision, you’ll be the one paying the bill, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp intake of breath sounded on the other end before her stepmother regained her composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well... Aurora, I assumed you’d cover it. You do have money, don’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora chuckled, though there was no humor in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am recording the phone call, and if you don’t pay the money, I will release it to the media. Let them see how a stepmother can screw her stepdaughter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a sharp silence on the other end of the line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the gentle facade crumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You little brat!\" her stepmother hissed, her voice dripping with venom. \"Do you think you can threaten me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora lazily examined her nails, completely unfazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Threaten you?\" she echoed innocently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh no, stepmother, I’m simply stating facts. You wanted to play the role of a generous and caring mother—so why back out when it’s time to pay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her stepmother’s breathing turned heavy with suppressed rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora cut her off smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You see, my dear stepmother, public perception is a tricky thing. If I release this recording, what do you think will happen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wealthy, high-status woman like you refusing to pay for the hospital bills of her critically ill underage stepdaughter? People love a good villain, and you’d fit the role perfectly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora knew she had struck a nerve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine,\" her stepmother finally spat through clenched teeth. \"I’ll pay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora’s smile widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She handed the phone back to the nurse, who stared at her with wide eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora stretched lazily, satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me know when the payment is confirmed,\" she said. \"I’ll be waiting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once everyone left, Aurora lay on the bed and closed her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face turned pale, and she wished that when she opened her eyes again, she would be back to her original world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when she was discharged, Aurora still felt as if everything was unrealistic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky outside was still blue, but many things were new to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were cleaning robots around and holographic billboards displaying advertisements that responded to passersby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There weren’t flying cars, as she had imagined, but the cars of this world were indeed different from what she remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also few hovercar around, but they were rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been days since she woke up in this unfamiliar world, and yet she still couldn’t shake the feeling of disconnection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had read enough novels to understand what had likely happened—she had transmigrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why? And into whose body?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her stepmother’s reaction earlier confirmed that this body had a complicated past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It also meant that she couldn’t afford to be careless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who was this girl? What had happened to her? And more importantly...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why was Aurora here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she stepped out of the hospital, a sleek, black hovercar pulled up in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver, a middle-aged man in a crisp uniform, stepped out and bowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Aurora, I’ve been sent to take you home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora tilted her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Home?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right. This body had a home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora studied the driver carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face was expressionless, his posture formal, but there was something about the way he avoided meeting her eyes that made her suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she crossed her arms and leaned slightly against the hospital entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who sent you?\" she asked lazily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver stiffened for a split second before quickly regaining his composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Madam instructed me to bring you home safely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam. Her stepmother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora’s lips curled into a smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? And what if I don’t want to go home?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver hesitated. He hadn’t expected resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Aurora, I’m afraid I cannot—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora turned and started walking away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then don’t,\" she interrupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver panicked. \"Miss Aurora, please, you must come with me—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora paused and looked at him over her shoulder. \"Do you think I am dumb dumb?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How come the generous stepmother suddenly becomes caring and sends a driver just to pick her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe the stepmother was planning to sell her off to someone, or worse, she might end up in an abandoned warehouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Aurora, if you have to keep being stubborn, I will have to drag you inside the car.\" The driver slowly turned expressionless.\u003C\u002Fp>",1007,"2026-06-06T04:03:40.622Z",1,"novelbin.me","cd48f5b3e8bfaca2311fa623509796db14b5bc78e4e961bceda0095f64d64bd1","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-422","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-421",614,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fborn-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-cover.jpg"]
