Born Into Villain's Family: I Have a 200\% Rebate System-Chapter 481: Basic Rights

"Wouldn’t that be my choice? Who are you to decide whether someone should or shouldn’t pursue me?" Her eyes hardened. "I don’t accept orders. If I like him, I’ll be with him. You won’t manipulate me into rejecting him for your convenience."

Louis’s mother’s fists trembled with fury.

"Since you don’t want to eat peacefully," she said coldly, "you should watch yourself. Especially your family." Her voice dropped. "From now on, they may encounter... unspoken trouble."

Olivia’s gaze turned glacial.

"If that’s the case," she replied quietly, "you should watch yourself too. Because if you get reported in the future, it will have nothing to do with me."

With that, she turned and walked away.

Behind her, Louis’s mother trembled with rage.

How dare she? Her chest rose and fell sharply. Does she have no fear? No self-respect? Does she really think these are empty threats?

She snatched up her phone and dialed a number.

Once the call connected, she spoke calmly, as if discussing the weather.

"All members of the Waters family should be lying in the hospital next week," she said. "If that doesn’t happen, I’ll make sure you won’t survive in this country."

The silence on the other end was brief before a tense agreement followed.

"That’s not all," she added coldly. "I want no hospital to admit them. No doctor in the entire state is to step foot into their house. Let them die knowing the consequences of offending us."

She hung up.

What she didn’t know was that the person on the other end stared at the phone in disbelief, cursing under their breath.

’How are we supposed to pull off something like this?’

They cursed her arrogance silently, fully aware that controlling every doctor was impossible.

Meanwhile, Louis’s mother exhaled deeply, utterly convinced of her own power.

Her gaze followed Olivia’s retreating figure through the café window. That calm, unruffled expression on Olivia’s face was unbearably irritating.

Clenching her fists, she sneered softly.

"I’ll make sure you pay for every choice you’ve made."

Aurora stared at the screen in utter disbelief, her fingers hovering uselessly above the tablet as the numbers continued to glare back at her.

For a moment, her mind went blank, the faint hum of the air conditioner and the soft ticking of the wall clock growing unnervingly loud in her ears.

"One... billion?" she murmured, her throat suddenly dry.

It was only then that the realization struck her with full force.

Every investment she had made under her siblings’ names had yielded a staggering two-hundred-percent rebate.

The calculations settled in her mind like a tidal wave, and before she could even fully process it, her balance had already swelled, nearly a billion dollars extra, just like that.

Aurora’s mind churned rapidly, thoughts overlapping one another with frightening speed. ’If this is how it works... then there’s no reason to stop now.’ 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Without the slightest hesitation, she plunged back into action.

Properties were purchased one after another, documents signed, accounts shifted.

Houses, commercial buildings, land, everything went under her siblings’ names.

The numbers climbed so fast that even she felt dizzy watching them. Her rebate account surged from a mere five hundred million to ten billion in what felt like the blink of an eye.

By the time it was over, Aurora leaned back in her chair, exhaustion crashing into her bones. Her temples throbbed, and for a fleeting moment, she thought she might actually faint.

Yet beneath that bone-deep fatigue was a thrill so sharp it made her chest feel tight.

"I really did it..." she whispered.

Five real estate properties under each sibling’s name.

And that wasn’t all.

She had invested in dividend-yielding assets, acquired shops with steady cash flow, and even ensured that each sibling held fractional ownership in several profitable ventures.

Of course, she had left backups for herself as well.

Even without any personal rebate, she had still managed to amass ten billion dollars, alongside her company and the vast network of properties and businesses tied to her family.

’Even if one day we part ways...’ Aurora thought quietly, rubbing her tired eyes, ’they’ll each have something to stand on.’

That thought alone brought her a rare sense of peace. She decided she would take some time off before telling her siblings. She didn’t want gratitude, and she certainly didn’t want tears.

’If they’re going to cry,’ she mused dryly, ’they should cry inside a luxury car, not on the streets.’

A soft sigh escaped her lips as another realization surfaced. Three weeks had already passed since her university exams, and she had passed with flying colors.

With those results, any top-tier university would welcome her without hesitation.

Her thoughts drifted briefly to Diana.

Diana, who had persistently tried to cling to her, pushing for friendship as if nothing had happened in the past. Aurora had rejected her every single time. Worse, she had made her stance painfully clear.

"If you keep irritating me," Aurora had warned coldly, "I’ll make sure you pay for it."

The fear in Diana’s eyes had been unmistakable. She stopped scheming immediately, but the damage was already done. Her past deeds isolated her completely. By the time Aurora left high school, Diana had been thoroughly dealt with.

Then there were Adriana’s bullies.

The ones from the past.

Aurora hadn’t spared a single one of them.

She had crushed them so completely that a few spiraled into depression.

And Aurora felt no mercy at all. Those people had tormented Adriana until a deep shadow settled into her heart.

Even in the original timeline, Adriana’s choices had been warped by their cruelty. They had twisted her self-worth, made her believe she was never good enough for anyone.

’They deserved it,’ Aurora thought without remorse.

Only after ensuring that each bully’s family was bankrupt and behind bars did Aurora finally release a long, steady breath.

Adriana might never know, but it was better that those people never walked free again to harass her.

What Aurora didn’t know was that this single move had saved countless lives. Unknowingly, she had accumulated an enormous amount of merit.

Now, her focus shifted back to her companies and to the proposal Miller had submitted.

Her eyes gleamed faintly as she reviewed it again. ’This gap... no one else has noticed it.’

Miller had stumbled upon a flaw in the industry that others had completely overlooked. If implemented correctly, it wouldn’t just be profitable... it would be revolutionary.

’This could change everything,’ she thought, already planning several steps ahead.

As Aurora continued working, far away from her bustling world, Jules arrived calmly at a quiet café. The scent of freshly brewed coffee lingered in the air, warm and bitter.

Today, she had an appointment with her ex-husband.

Nick.

From the moment Jules discovered that Nick was trying to get close to Aurora, hatred had taken root in her heart.

She wanted to deal with him once and for all. She hadn’t come alone either, Lucas sat just a few seats away from her, silent and alert.

After hearing Aurora’s warning, Jules had grown cautious. She knew Nick too well.

If he didn’t get what he wanted, he was the type to resort to despicable threats. The scars he had left on her life were deep enough that there had been times she had wanted to end everything herself.

’God knows what he’s capable of now,’ she thought grimly.

Nick had been begging for forgiveness nonstop, but that wasn’t why she had called him here.

She had called him to warn him.

The café door chimed softly as Nick walked in. His eyes immediately locked onto Jules, and without hesitation, he strode toward her table, a massive bouquet cradled in his arms.

The moment Jules saw it, her stomach lurched violently.

She almost threw up. Lilies.

They were her favorite flower, or at least, they used to be. Once upon a time, the mere sight of them had filled her with happiness.

However, after marrying Nick, things did not turn into the happiness Jules had once imagined.

Instead, Nick made it a point to wound her in ways that were deliberate and cruel.

Every time he brought another partner home, shamelessly cheating right in front of her, he would always present them with lilies.

He knew exactly what he was doing. He knew how much Jules associated those flowers with promises, with tenderness, with things that had once belonged only to her.

Watching another woman accept lilies from him felt like having salt rubbed into an open wound.

Because of that, over time, Jules developed a deep aversion to lilies.

The mere sight of them made her stomach churn. Now, as her eyes landed on the pale petals arranged so neatly in the bouquet, her throat tightened and bile rose uncontrollably.

’It feels like the air itself smells rotten,’ she thought, her fingers curling slightly as she fought the urge to retch.

Nick, meanwhile, did not even spare the bouquet a proper glance. His entire attention was fixed on Jules.

The moment he caught the unmistakable disgust flickering in her eyes, his face drained of color.
