Born Into Villain's Family: I Have a 200\% Rebate System-Chapter 560: Waking Up

Her voice trembled slightly. "I didn’t transmigrate to another world. I just unlocked the memories of my past life."

Suddenly everything made sense. In that past life, she had been a hacker.

That explained why those skills had suddenly appeared in her mind.

Her martial arts abilities also made sense now.

They were not newly learned. They were memories. Skills she had already mastered in another life.

Everything was finally falling into place. But one question still haunted her mind.

"Why can’t I remember the ending?"

Her voice grew tense. "How did I die? And how did I come here?"

Then another thought flashed in her mind. The rebate system.

Her eyes snapped toward the faint figure. "What about the rebate system?"

The moment she asked the question, the faint figure spoke again.

"You only have one chance to ask a question."

Its voice echoed quietly through the void.

"So you should think carefully before you ask."

Hearing those words, Aurora fell silent.

Her thoughts slowly drifted toward the rebate system.

’Is that the most important thing I should ask about?’

Perhaps it would have been.

But the images she had just witnessed kept flashing in her min, Mary falling, Adam bleeding, Theodore collapsing, and Olivia and Adriana disappearing one after another.

Those deaths had not been small tragedies. They had been cruel.

And even worse, those people had not even been her family in that life.

Yet they had still died beside her. Aurora slowly lifted her gaze toward the faint figure.

Her voice came out quieter than before, but there was a strange firmness hidden inside it.

"Can I change the fate of the villainous family?"

She paused slightly before continuing. "And... how can I completely break free from the plot?"

The faint figure remained silent for a moment.

Then, to Aurora’s surprise, the faint silhouette seemed to smile.

"It’s quite simple," the figure said softly.

Aurora frowned slightly. The figure continued calmly.

"You already know the answer, don’t you?"

Aurora’s brows furrowed.

"You simply need to make sure that none of them walk down the original path."

Aurora felt irritation rise in her chest. Her eyes sharpened slightly.

Her voice dropped into a deeper tone. "That is exactly what I have been doing."

A trace of frustration slipped into her words. "But every time the plot gets disrupted, another tragedy appears."

Her fists slowly clenched. "It’s like the story keeps correcting itself."

The faint figure listened quietly before responding. "But there is already improvement."

Aurora froze.

The faint figure spoke slowly, as if guiding her thoughts.

"In the original story, your family members were nothing more than villains. They were characters destined to fall."

The figure paused. "But the visions are already changing."

Aurora’s breathing slowed slightly as she listened. "First they changed from villains... to side characters. Then from side characters... to main characters."

Aurora’s eyes widened slightly.

"And when the time comes," the faint figure continued gently, "you will realize that the plot no longer controls you. You will have completely stepped outside of it."

The words echoed softly in the empty void.

Aurora stood there silently. After a long pause, she looked back at the faint figure.

"Can I ask one more question?"

The faint figure immediately shook its head. "No."

Aurora hesitated.

But even then, the questions trapped inside her mind spilled out anyway. "Who are you?"

Her voice trembled slightly. "Why are you helping me? Is the rebate system related to you?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Her eyes grew sharper. "And why did you show me the ending of my family?"

Her questions came one after another.

But none of them received an answer.

Because in the very next moment... Aurora’s eyes snapped open.

Her vision slowly focused on the familiar white ceiling above her.

For a moment, she felt disoriented. Then she noticed the figures standing around her bed.

Several people were crowding near her. Their expressions were filled with worry.

Aurora blinked slowly. Her gaze moved from one face to another.

They were all there.

Mary, Adam, Olivia, Adriana, Theodore, Lucas, and Alex. Her family.

They were all staring at her anxiously.

For a brief second, Aurora felt as if her chest had been squeezed tightly.

Because the scenes from that other life were still painfully fresh in her mind.

Seeing them alive right now felt almost unreal.

Her eyes welled up before she even realized it, tears blurring her vision as she lowered her gaze toward her family.

Their voices overlapped, worried, restless, suffocatingly warm, and as she listened, something inside her chest tightened.

When she finally spoke, her voice came out faint, almost fragile.

Seeing her awake, Olivia blinked in disbelief before narrowing her eyes slightly.

"Aurora, do you even realize how worried you made us this time?"

Aurora let out a soft chuckle, though it carried a trace of dryness.

"I don’t even know how long I was gone, and you’re already throwing accusations at me?"

Before Olivia could respond, a sharp thwack echoed in the room as Mary smacked the back of her head without hesitation.

Olivia flinched.

Mary didn’t spare her another glance and immediately turned to Aurora, her brows knitted tightly, her voice laced with unmistakable concern.

"Aurora, are you alright?"

Aurora nodded gently, her eyes softening as she looked at Mary.

"I’m fine. It was probably just a slight fever."

Olivia rolled her eyes dramatically, crossing her arms.

"A slight fever? Then how were you unconscious for two whole days?"

Aurora turned toward Mary instead of answering, deliberately ignoring Olivia’s question.

Her silence lingered longer than expected, and Olivia frowned slightly, a strange thought crossing her mind.

’Is she... actually angry?’

Before anyone could react, Olivia suddenly pulled out a chocolate bar and waved it in front of Aurora like a peace offering.

"Fine, then. This is for you, as long as you stop being angry."

Aurora froze.

For a brief moment, the present blurred, and memories from another lifetime surfaced, cold, distant, yet painfully vivid.

Back in that interstellar era, Olivia had stood by her side not as a sister, but as a subordinate.

And yet, she had always done this, offering chocolates with that same careless tone, that same unchanging warmth.

"I swear, chocolates taste even better when you’re in a bad mood," Olivia used to say.

And now... even after reincarnation, after everything had changed, their identities, their roles, their circumstances, some things remained exactly the same.

The tone, the habit, even the silly reasoning behind it.

’Nothing really changed... did it?’

A faint smile formed on Aurora’s lips, softer this time, genuine.

The tension in her shoulders eased without her noticing, and as if sensing that shift, Olivia visibly relaxed, letting out a quiet sigh of relief.

One by one, the others seemed to follow, the heavy atmosphere in the room gradually dissolving.

Even if Olivia’s words often sounded strange or out of place, they somehow always managed to lighten the moment in the most unexpected way.

Adriana let out a deep breath, her expression still serious.

"From now on, I’ll sleep in the same room as Aurora. I’m genuinely worried."

Her words were firm, leaving no room for argument.

Everyone exchanged glances before nodding in agreement.

Olivia, however, immediately raised her voice.

"No way. I’m doing that. I have been babysitting her since she was baby."

Adriana shot her an unimpressed look, rolling her eyes.

"Please. I’ve literally seen you beating Aurora up in a corner before."

Olivia waved her hand dismissively, scoffing.

"If I ever wanted to beat her, I wouldn’t hide in some corner. I’d do it openly, whenever I feel like it."

A heavy silence followed. Everyone stared at her. Olivia blinked once. Then twice.

’...I think I just destroyed my own credibility.’

Aurora couldn’t help but chuckle softly at the scene. "You really don’t need to stay with me. I’ll be fine on my own."

She leaned back slightly, her tone calm, almost casual.

"I was just... working on something two days ago. It didn’t go as planned, so I stayed up for too long. My body just gave out."

Mary’s frown deepened instead of easing.

"That’s even more of a reason to keep an eye on you. Otherwise, you’ll keep pushing yourself like this."

Aurora’s lips twitched into a helpless smile. "That sounds a bit extreme, don’t you think?"

But no matter how many times she reassured them, their concern didn’t fade easily.

Only after repeated insistence did they finally begin to leave the room one by one.

Just as the last few steps echoed toward the door, Alex hesitated.

Then he turned back.

He walked up to her slowly, his expression stiff.

"Aurora... I’ll check on you every night from now on."

Aurora blinked, then let out a small chuckle. "Okay."

Alex didn’t react to her tone. Instead, he continued firmly,

"And all your electronic devices will be taken away after 12 o’clock."

Aurora immediately pouted, her brows furrowing. "That’s something I can’t agree to."

Alex’s gaze sharpened slightly. "You almost fainted. The least you can do is take responsibility for your health."
