Born Into Villain's Family: I Have a 200\% Rebate System-Chapter 547 - 548: Protection

He stored them inside a hidden compartment in his closet.

’I’ll carry them with me every day when I go to the set,’ he thought.

Just then, his phone suddenly rang.

The notification sound echoed through the quiet room.

He picked up his phone and checked the internet.

To his surprise, several directors who had previously targeted him were suddenly being exposed online.

Some were getting heavily criticized. Others were already facing boycotts.

Theodore immediately understood what had happened.

’Aurora must have done this.’

She must have investigated his past and taken action after discovering the truth.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

Honestly, he could not imagine anyone more capable of doing such a thing.

At first, he thought that this was already the extent of what Aurora would do for him.

But that evening, Aurora arrived again. This time, she brought a small pill box.

She handed it to him. Theodore looked at the box curiously. "What is this?"

Aurora smiled slightly.

"This is a special antidote pill," she explained. "It protects you from almost any kind of poisoning, including drugs."

She continued calmly.

"It can even neutralize snake venom."

Medicines like this were extremely rare and almost impossible to buy on the market.

But Aurora had used her connections to obtain it.

She looked at Theodore seriously. "Keep it with you at all times."

Hearing Aurora’s explanation, Theodore raised his hand and gave her a firm thumbs-up.

"Good," he said approvingly. "This will solve many problems."

Aurora merely nodded calmly.

After giving the medicine to him, she had not stopped there. Quietly, she had also distributed small samples of the antidote to several of her own family members.

’There may be times when they are attacked in places where I cannot see or reach them.’

Because of that possibility, she had prepared everything in advance.

Once all the arrangements were finished, Aurora returned to the university.

Aurora assumed that her days would continue just as they always had.

However, only a week later, something unexpected happened.

Lily suddenly approached her.

Without any warning, Lily grabbed Aurora’s hand tightly.

Aurora immediately frowned.

The sudden contact irritated her. She almost pulled her hand away.

But the next moment, something strange happened.

A vision abruptly flashed through Aurora’s mind.

At first, the images were blurry and chaotic. Aurora could barely focus on them. However, as the vision gradually became clearer, the scenes unfolding inside her mind made her pause.

In the vision, Aurora saw herself pretending to be the daughter of the richest man in the city. She behaved arrogantly, carrying herself with overwhelming confidence.

Instead of being angered, the richest man seemed deeply impressed.

Without hesitation, he publicly acknowledged Aurora and even adopted her as his goddaughter. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The vision continued to unfold.

Aurora watched herself rise higher and higher in society, reaching a level of power and wealth that stood at the pinnacle of life.

For a moment, she almost laughed. ’This is ridiculous.’

The scene felt far too dramatic.

Yet she forced herself to remain calm and observe carefully until the vision finally faded.

When it ended, Aurora immediately began thinking.

’That strange magnetic wave...’

The moment Lily had held her hand, Aurora had clearly felt a peculiar kind of energy spreading around her mind.

’If Lily caused that...’

Then perhaps the vision itself could be considered a type of signal.

And signals...could sometimes be hacked.

With that thought, Aurora quickly reached for her laptop.

She intended to analyze the strange phenomenon.

However, the moment she opened it, the vision had already disappeared completely.

When Aurora lifted her head again, Lily was staring at her with an intense, expectant gaze.

Aurora simply returned a calm and indifferent look.

Seeing that reaction, Lily’s face instantly twisted with anger.

"You didn’t feel anything?" Lily demanded sharply.

"Did you see anything?" she continued. "Did you have a vision?"

Aurora tilted her head slightly.

"How would you know if I saw something?" she asked calmly.

Lily froze for a moment, but this time she seemed prepared.

"I didn’t want to reveal this so soon," Lily said slowly. "But since we’re already close to the truth, there’s no point hiding it."

She lifted her chin proudly.

"I possess a special ability," she declared. "I can show people visions of their future."

Her eyes glittered with confidence.

"When I held your hand just now, I allowed you to see your future."

She leaned closer.

"Now tell me... do you understand what you should do?"

Aurora stared at her quietly.

Then she shook her head with an innocent expression.

"That vision was ridiculous," she replied calmly. "It’s too risky and honestly a very stupid dream."

The moment those words left her mouth, Lily exploded with rage.

This time it was not the kind of anger she could control.

Her eyes burned with deep hatred.

For such a long time, she had been trying to convince Aurora to follow the path shown in that vision, to pretend to be the richest man’s daughter.

Yet Aurora refused to move even a single step.

’If this continues... Not only will I fail my mission... I’ll lose everything.’

Her expression twisted violently.

She grabbed Aurora’s arm again, her fingers tightening painfully around it.

"How dare you reject my offer!" Lily hissed in a voice that sounded almost demonic.

Aurora did not even bother to respond.

Instead, she calmly grabbed Lily’s wrist with her free hand.

Then, without hesitation, she threw Lily away. The movement was swift and powerful. Lily had no chance to react.

Her body flew backward before crashing heavily onto the ground.

The impact knocked the air out of her lungs. Yet even then, the hatred in her eyes did not lessen.

She continued glaring at Aurora as if everything was Aurora’s fault.

Aurora sighed slightly.

"If you cannot behave like a normal human," she said coldly, "you should check yourself into an animal hospital."

With that, she slowly walked toward Lily. At first, Lily believed Aurora would not dare to actually harm her.

But she had underestimated her. The next second... Smack.

Aurora’s palm struck her face with a loud sound.

The slap was so hard that Lily’s head snapped sideways.

Her cheek instantly turned red. Lily stared at Aurora in disbelief.

"How dare you!" she shouted furiously.

Aurora chuckled softly. "Oh, I dare," she replied calmly.

Her eyes became colder. "In fact, I dare to do much more."

She leaned slightly closer. "Do you want to test it?"

Lily immediately fell silent.

Seeing this, Aurora rubbed her temple as if she had developed a headache.

"From now on," she said slowly, "whenever you see me, you will change your attitude."

Her voice turned sharp.

"Is that clear?"

Lily remained silent. Her silence only irritated Aurora further.

Without hesitation, Aurora kicked her directly in the stomach.

The force was so strong that Lily coughed violently, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

Yet she still glared at Aurora with endless hatred. Aurora frowned slightly.

’Women like this are dangerous. If they are left alone, they will only cause more trouble.’

That thought slowly settled into her mind.

She began thinking of ways to deal with Lily permanently.

Meanwhile, Lily finally realized something terrifying.

Aurora was becoming increasingly dangerous.

Fear finally crept into her heart.

Without another word, she quickly scrambled to her feet and ran away.

After Lily disappeared, Aurora calmly began investigating her background.

This time, she also asked Spencer to conduct his own investigation.

Spencer’s methods were far more aggressive.

He dug deeper and faster than Aurora.

Soon enough, Aurora received the information she wanted.

Lily was not the real daughter of the wealthy family she belonged to.

To be precise, she was merely a distant relative.

The family had adopted her only to cover up a scandal involving the real mistress of the household.

But there was another detail that made Lily’s situation even stranger.

Originally, she was never supposed to enter that rich family at all.

However, the family’s priest had made a strange prophecy.

He had declared that Shay, the real mistress, was destined to live an extremely miserable life.

Only if someone else carried the burden of her fate would she be able to live peacefully.

With that thought in mind, the wealthy patriarch had once been filled with fear.

When the priest had spoken about the prophecy, his heart had trembled.

Without much hesitation, he adopted Lily into the family.

His intention had never been kindness.

It was protection. Not protection for Lily. Protection for his real daughter.

"If the attacks fall on her instead," he had once murmured quietly to himself, "then my real child will be safe."

And strangely enough... the plan worked.

Every assassination attempt that had originally been destined for the real daughter began to fall upon Lily instead.

Poisoned food. Mysterious accidents. Dangerous ambushes. All of them targeted Lily.

As a result, Lily’s entire childhood became a bleak and painful existence.

Meanwhile, Aurora sat quietly in her room, staring at the investigation files displayed across her laptop screen.

She slowly massaged her temples.
