Born Into Villain's Family: I Have a 200\% Rebate System-Chapter 220: Owner

Aurora had read many novels.

One’s where the fake daughter framed the real daughter. One where the real daughter framed the fake ones.

Especially the novels where the biased parent sides with the evil sister, every single time.

It was too frustrating to read.

What was even worse? The side characters or passersby always stay silent. Even when they saw how the evil sister tried to frame the innocent sister.

What made her feel relieved was, it wasn’t true at all.

Hence, most of the time, Aurora left the story and never read it again.

Who would have thought that she would experience something like that in real life?

On a closer look, biased parents do exist. Maybe they might not go to the extent of abandoning a child, however, they do believe one side’s story and see it as the truth.

Sometimes, even after knowing the truth, they won’t apologize, considering it hurts their pride.

Some parents might even start to find their child’s shortcomings just to blame them. freewebnσvel.cѳm

While some are just letting trust cloud their judgment.

Like the woman in front of her.

She wasn’t evil, nor biased. And it could be seen in the way she had chided Christy for not letting her sister buy $250 nightwear.

However, she does let her trust cloud her judgment.

The trust her daughter named Christy that an innocent child like her could never lie.

It was more appropriate to call her blind.

But Aurora didn’t mind taking off the blindfolds. She can’t let an evil sister win.

Hence, without hesitation, she said,

"She is b*tchy."

Her words caused the entire store to fall into complete silence.

Aurora’s statement evoked a different kind of reaction from each of them.

Christy looked at Aurora with disbelief and shouted,

"What did you say? I dare you to repeat yourself!"

Aurora didn’t flinch.

In fact, she slowly turned to face Christy fully, her arms folded loosely across her chest, eyes calm and unbothered.

"I said you’re b*tchy," she repeated, clear and firm, like she was stating a fact and not an insult.

Gasps scattered around the store like popcorn popping.

Even Mia’s eyebrows shot up, her hand reflexively moving to her mouth.

Christy looked like she’d been slapped.

Her face twisted in shock and fury, her jaw hanging open as if words had failed her for the first time in her life.

"You—who even are you?!" she finally spat, pointing a trembling finger at Aurora.

"I’m someone who saw everything," Aurora replied coolly. "And unlike your mother, I don’t think you’re as innocent as you pretend to be."

The woman in question—the girls’ mother—turned to Aurora now, brows furrowing.

"You saw?" she asked. "What exactly did you see?"

Aurora looked her straight in the eyes.

"I saw Christy fall. On her own. Nobody touched her. Not even close. She glanced in our direction, made a weird little noise, and then just collapsed like a cut string. It was weirdly timed and totally fake."

Valerie blinked, the tightness in her chest easing a little. She glanced at Aurora with wide, startled eyes.

Christy, on the other hand, was fuming. "Liar!" she snapped. "You don’t know what you’re talking about!"

"She’s telling the truth," Mia chimed in, stepping forward now.

"I was standing right next to Aurora. Valerie never even raised a hand. Christy fell all on her own."

Jenny’s expression suddenly twisted, her fake tears forgotten. "I—"

Aurora cut her off with a glance.

"And as for Jenny—she caught on real fast to Christy’s story. Funny how she changed her entire expression the moment Christy called her.

A real maid struggling to feed her family shouldn’t be that good at acting."

Jenny took a nervous step back, guilt flickering on her face.

Christy’s mouth opened and closed, but no words came out.

Aurora turned to the mother once more.

"You said you wanted to hear the truth. Well, there it is. Don’t ignore it just because it came from strangers."

Silence followed.

Then Valerie stepped forward, voice shaking a little but clear.

"Mom. I told you. I didn’t touch her. I was just defending myself because she kept saying I was wasting money, and now she’s dragging Jenny into it? Seriously?"

Christy suddenly pointed a trembling finger at Aurora and shouted,

"She... she’s Valerie’s friend! They’re in cahoots! She’s only defending Valerie because they planned this together!"

Everyone in the store turned to look at Aurora again.

Christy, breathing heavily, continued,

"Valerie promised to give her a million dollars just so she’d lie and back her up! That’s why she’s talking like that! She’s not some bystander—she’s in it!"

Aurora blinked once.

Then she let out a loud sigh and rolled her eyes so hard it was a miracle they didn’t get stuck.

"A million dollars?" she asked, deadpan. "Seriously? Do I look that cheap?"

People in the store were starting to murmur again, glancing between the girls, trying to figure out who was telling the truth.

Aurora crossed her arms. "If you’re still suspicious," she said, turning to Christy’s mother with a calm voice, "we can just check the surveillance footage. I’m sure the cameras caught everything."

Christy’s mother paused, thinking. That suggestion made sense. It was simple. Clear. Hard to fake.

She slowly nodded. "That’s... fair."

But before anything else could be said, Christy suddenly wobbled on her feet.

"I... I feel dizzy..."

She pressed a hand to her forehead, staggered once, then collapsed to the floor with a dramatic thud.

"Christy!" her mother gasped, rushing forward.

Jenny dropped to her knees beside Christy like it was all part of a routine.

Her eyes widened dramatically as she pointed at Aurora and Valerie with a face full of fury.

"This is all your fault!" she shouted. "Your lies made Miss Christy so angry that she fainted!"

Aurora didn’t even flinch.

She just gave another roll of her eyes and said calmly, "She’s faking it."

Jenny gasped as if Aurora had cursed out the entire family.

"How dare you?!"

"I can prove it," Aurora replied, brushing imaginary dust off her shoulder.

Then she turned to Christy’s mother, voice clear and serious.

"I’m a medical practitioner," she said smoothly, "and if you give me a chance, I can confirm whether Christy’s actually unconscious or not."

Mia, standing nearby, tugged on Aurora’s sleeve anxiously.

In her heart, she was panicking.

We’re just high school students! You’re not a doctor! What if they find out?

But she didn’t say a word aloud.

Instead, she stayed silent, eyes wide with fear and trust mixed together.

Aurora glanced at her, then gave a reassuring pat to Mia’s hand.

Her eyes said everything: Don’t worry. Just trust me.

Then she knelt down next to Christy.

"I’ll check her pulse."

She gently touched Christy’s wrist, pressing her fingers against the skin with a thoughtful look.

A few seconds passed. The whole store held its breath.

Then Aurora straightened up, dusted off her hands, and announced,

"She’s fine. Her pulse is normal. She’s just pretending. And if you’d like—" she glanced at Christy’s mother, "—I can wake her up too."

Christy’s mother narrowed her eyes. "Do it."

Aurora nodded with a perfectly straight face. "Alright. The solution is actually very simple."

She knelt back down and said, loud enough for the whole store to hear,

"We just need to pinch her private part. It’s scientifically proven that women can regain consciousness quickly if their sensitive area is stimulated with sudden pain."

The store fell into complete silence.

Even the background music felt like it disappeared.

Then—

Christy’s eyes flew open, and she shot up like someone had lit a fire under her.

"Are you INSANE?!" she screamed, scrambling backwards. "You’re a total maniac! There’s no way you’re a doctor!"

Aurora stood up slowly, brushing her skirt smooth with an innocent smile.

"Oh? Then how did I cure you without even touching you?"

Her voice was calm, her smile wide and sweet, but her eyes sparkled with mockery.

Mia’s hand flew to her mouth, trying not to laugh.

Even Christy’s mother looked stunned.

Several shoppers nearby covered their mouths, either shocked or secretly amused.

"Now... now. Your daughter is awake, and we can check the surveillance camera." Aurora said with a smile.

Christy was so angry that she pointed at Aurora and asked,

"Who the hell do you think you are! Why would they show the surveillance camera to you?"

Then she turned toward a nearby saleswoman and shouted,

"You... tell her, how no one could request footage just because they want to."

The saleswoman gave a troubled glance as she looked between Christy and Aurora, before saying in a timid voice,

"Indeed. Not everyone can request the footage, but ..."

"Haha! See! Told you." Christy looked at Aurora with a smug expression.

Aurora ignored Christy’s smug gaze and turned to look at Christy’s mother, who looked shocked by Christy’s reaction and said,

"See that... that is her true color."

With a calm smile, she turned toward Christy and said,

"Yep, no one can access the footage, but me. Because I am the owner of this mall."
