Born Into Villain's Family: I Have a 200\% Rebate System-Chapter 194: Bullying

The smile that had been on Aurora’s face earlier vanished.

Her hands tightened into fists.

They thought this was funny?

She didn’t say a word. Didn’t scream. Didn’t curse.

Instead, she took one step back, then rammed her leg forward—hard.

CRACK.

The door slammed open, breaking off the cheap metal lock.

It swung out violently, crashing into the girl standing directly in front of it. She let out a shriek as it knocked her back, half-crushed by its weight.

Aurora stepped out of the stall, dripping wet but utterly composed. Her eyes scanned the group—three girls standing in a row, holding empty buckets, and one on the floor, groaning in pain.

Her voice was like ice. "Anyone else?" freeωebnovēl.c૦m

The girls stared at her, stunned.

"You... you psycho!" one finally shouted.

"Psycho?" Aurora repeated. "You haven’t even seen what I can do yet."

They were pulling out their phones now, recording shakily. Probably thinking they’d catch her lashing out. That they’d be able to twist it later.

Aurora didn’t give them anything.

She just walked out—past the girl still lying on the floor, past the stunned expressions, and right through the hallway without sparing them a second glance.

Inside, her mind was already working.

She knew their faces now. Knew who was truly bold and who only followed the crowd.

She would not humiliate them in front of others—not yet. That was what they wanted. To make her snap, to get proof she was the villain.

But Aurora had patience. And power.

She would wait.

They wanted her humiliated?

She would bury them in their own shame.

And next time, they wouldn’t have a bucket of water to hide behind.

.................................

The lecture ended with the usual shuffle of notebooks closing and chairs scraping against the floor.

Students began filing out, chatting casually or scrolling through their phones.

Aurora remained seated, her posture straight but relaxed, her eyes drifting toward Mia, who had stayed unusually quiet throughout the class.

Mia sat beside her, fidgeting with the corner of her notebook. Her normally upbeat demeanor had dulled, the spark in her eyes dimmed.

Aurora studied her for a moment, then leaned in slightly.

"Hey," she said gently. "What happened yesterday? You’ve been quiet all day."

Mia gave a weak smile. "It’s nothing."

Aurora didn’t buy it. "Mia."

There was a pause. Then another.

Finally, after a deep sigh, Mia mumbled,

"When Dana and I went shopping yesterday, her phone rang. She stepped away to answer it, and I overheard... she’s got a boyfriend."

Aurora blinked. "Wait, boyfriend?"

Mia nodded, trying to keep her voice steady.

"Yeah. Turns out she’s straight. She never even realized how I felt. I guess... it was all one-sided."

Aurora’s heart softened. She reached out and patted Mia’s back, offering a reassuring smile.

"Then that just means the right girl is still out there waiting for you. Someone who will fall head over heels and know it."

Mia let out a small laugh, grateful. "Thanks."

Aurora nudged her shoulder playfully.

"Just don’t fall for any more girls who make you carry all the shopping bags. That’s a red flag right there."

That finally brought a real smile to Mia’s face. She chuckled and wrapped her arms around Aurora in a sudden hug.

"You’re the best, you know that?"

Aurora patted her back in return. "I try."

Just then, a faint cough interrupted the warm moment.

The two girls turned their heads and found Spencer standing to the side, arms crossed, with a mildly annoyed look on his face.

Mia raised an eyebrow. "What’s with the coughing?"

Spencer cleared his throat dramatically.

"Just making sure Mia knows she doesn’t have a chance. Aurora already booked me."

Mia blinked, confused. "Booked you?"

Spencer nodded seriously. "One spot left in her heart. Taken. Sorry, Mia."

There was a long silence as Mia tried to process that, and then she burst out laughing.

"Booked? You make it sound like you’re a hotel reservation," she teased. "Usually it’s the guy who says he’s booked his girl—not the other way around."

Spencer smirked. "Well, I’m different. Special edition."

Mia shook her head, still giggling. "You used to be the cold football star, and now look at you."

All three of them stood and began to head toward the exit, the mood noticeably lighter. But the good energy was short-lived.

Just as they reached the hallway, someone stepped into their path.

Mandy.

The moment she appeared, the atmosphere shifted. Spencer and Mia both moved instantly, placing themselves between Aurora and Mandy like shields.

Their faces darkened.

Spencer narrowed his eyes. "What do you want?"

Mia folded her arms, voice sharp. "Haven’t you done enough already?"

Mandy’s shoulders slumped a little, guilt flickering in her eyes. Her voice was soft, unsure.

"I just... I need to talk to Aurora. Alone. Please."

Mia stepped forward, eyes blazing.

"You’ve done more than enough harm. Two days ago, your mother nearly had Aurora thrown in jail over a lie. Even after she was proven innocent, did you come to say sorry? No. You vanished."

Spencer added, "If you have a shred of decency left, you’ll walk away now."

Mandy bit her lip, looking as if she might cry. "I swear, I’m not here to hurt her. I just... I just need to talk. Please. Just once."

Aurora, silent until now, gently touched both Mia and Spencer on the shoulder.

They hesitated, reluctant, but they stepped aside at her silent signal.

Aurora followed Mandy to a quieter corner of the hallway. It wasn’t fully private—students passed by at intervals—but it gave them enough space to speak freely.

Mandy fidgeted, eyes fixed on the floor. Her voice trembled as she began. "I’m sorry."

Aurora said nothing, waiting.

"These past couple of days, I’ve been... looking into things. Asking around. I—I didn’t believe it at first, but then... I realized how wrong I was."

Aurora’s expression didn’t change.

Mandy continued,

"I found out the truth. About what happened when we were kids. Caroline always told me you stole her crush."
