Born Into Villain's Family: I Have a 200\% Rebate System

Chapter 633: Mira

A few days later, inside a luxurious private café reserved exclusively for VIP guests, Adeline finally met Aurora again.

The moment Adeline saw Aurora entering, she immediately stood up with a smile.

"Ms. Dawn, it has truly been a long time since we last met."

"Indeed," Aurora replied softly. "It has been quite a long time."

Then she paused slightly before narrowing her eyes toward Adeline.

"So?" Aurora rested her chin lightly against her hand. "Was there something important you wished to discuss with me?"

Adeline did not beat around the bush.

She directly explained Mira’s situation honestly from beginning to end.

Once Aurora understood Adeline’s intentions, she did not immediately agree.

After all, there had been countless talented side female leads in the original timeline who had struggled under unfortunate circumstances.

If she rushed to help every single one of them personally, then even if she did not go bankrupt financially, she would eventually lose her credibility as an entrepreneur.

People would begin viewing her as someone emotional rather than rational.

Thinking this, Aurora calmly looked toward Adeline.

"Leave her profile with me," she spoke indifferently. "I will review it first before making any decisions."

Adeline immediately nodded before carefully pushing the folder toward Aurora.

Once Adeline left, Aurora casually began flipping through the documents.

At first, her expression remained calm.

However, the moment she saw Mira’s face clearly in one of the attached photographs, Aurora suddenly paused.

Her fingers froze briefly.

A strange sense of familiarity surfaced inside her heart.

Aurora narrowed her eyes slightly.

’Why does this woman look so familiar...?’

After thinking for a moment, Aurora quietly took out her laptop and began hacking into several databases.

Several minutes later, Aurora finally leaned back against her chair before chuckling softly.

"No wonder..."

A strange look appeared in her eyes.

"No wonder I kept feeling this woman looked familiar."

Because Mira was none other than Aurora’s distant cousin.

More precisely, she was the daughter of the woman who had once tried to save Aurora’s mother, Mary.

Back then, Mira’s mother had been manipulated and pressured terribly by Mary’s own mother.

Eventually, she ended up marrying a violent gambler who abused her endlessly.

In the end, she died tragically at that gambler’s hands.

And the daughter she left behind... was none other than Mira.

After learning the truth, Aurora still did not rush to help immediately.

The previous incidents involving relatives had already taught her something important.

Even family members required caution.

Especially when money and power became involved.

Thus, maintaining a calm expression, Aurora quietly investigated Mira further before eventually arranging a private meeting with her.

Meanwhile, when Mira received the message from Adeline stating that Miss Dawn had agreed to meet her personally, she fell into complete shock.

For a very long time, she simply stared blankly at her phone screen.

Even after arriving at the meeting location, it still took her considerable effort to regain her composure.

By the time Aurora entered the room, Mira had barely managed to calm herself down.

Aurora quietly observed Mira the moment she entered.

Her eyes immediately landed on Mira’s slightly red eyes and exhausted appearance.

At that moment, Aurora had only one thought.

’This woman is enduring far more pain than she shows on the surface.’

After sitting across from her, Aurora did not immediately offer help.

Instead, she calmly crossed her legs before looking directly at Mira.

"Mira," Aurora spoke softly, "what exactly do you have that you can offer me?"

The moment that question was asked, Mira’s expression changed slightly.

She lowered her gaze briefly before speaking carefully.

"My skills."

Aurora remained silent while Mira continued speaking calmly despite her nervousness.

"I am willing to sell my skills to you," Mira said seriously. "As long as you are willing to help me, I promise that fifty percent of my income for the next ten years will belong to you."

Hearing those words, Aurora suddenly chuckled.

"Do you not think it is rather bold of you to assume that ten years would be enough to repay the favor you owe me?"

Hearing this, Mira immediately shook her head.

"As for repaying the favor..." she spoke quietly, "I never even thought that would truly be possible."

Her fingers unconsciously tightened together beneath the table.

"If you help me, it would not merely be a favor. You would be giving me a lifeline."

Mira slowly lifted her eyes toward Aurora.

"I would never forget that for the rest of my life."

Her voice became firmer afterward.

"And from that moment onward, I would always stand by your side whenever you needed me."

Mira was completely serious.

It was not as though she enjoyed living such a dark and miserable life.

She had simply never been given an opportunity to escape it.

Now that someone had finally opened a door for her, she refused to stand there cowardly and let the chance disappear.

Meanwhile, Aurora looked quietly into Mira’s determined eyes before chuckling softly again.

’This cousin of mine is indeed ambitious...’

’But at the same time, she is also very smart.’

Aurora remained silent for a long while before finally speaking again.

"Well," she spoke leisurely, "I currently have two proposals for you. Would you like to hear them?"

Mira immediately nodded.

Seeing this, Aurora calmly continued.

"Since you appear to be a decent person, and your proposal genuinely pleased me, the first proposal is rather simple."

Aurora leaned slightly forward.

"You will honor exactly what you just promised, and in return, I will invest two million dollars into your future."

The moment Mira heard the words "two million dollars," her mind instantly went blank.

Her breathing almost stopped.

For someone like her, that amount was unimaginably enormous.

With that money, she could pay off the orphanage director completely.

She could buy herself a safe home. She could return to her studies.

She could even make proper investments and build passive income, so she would no longer need to destroy her body working endless jobs just to survive.

It was an unbelievably tempting offer.

Her current net worth was dubious, and yet someone was ready to invest... it was already a huge bargain.

Mira had just opened her mouth to agree to the two-million-dollar proposal when Aurora suddenly spoke again.

"Or..." Aurora leisurely tapped her fingers against the table. "I can simply give you a very valuable piece of information, and in return, you would pay me twenty thousand dollars."

The moment those words entered Mira’s ears, she froze completely.

"Twenty thousand dollars... for information?"

Her mind was in complete confusion.

What kind of information could possibly be more valuable than a two-million-dollar investment?

Thinking this, she fell into deep hesitation.

Honestly, for most people, the choice would have been extremely simple.

Anyone would immediately choose the two million dollars.

However, Mira was an unusually rational person.

Instead of rushing impulsively, she quietly asked,

"Is the second option related to my family somehow?"

Aurora paused briefly before shaking her head.

"More accurately speaking, it is related to some distant relatives."

The moment Mira heard the words "distant relatives," she instinctively lost some interest.

After all, distant relatives rarely cared about each other.

Most of them would not even bother helping her.

However, Aurora’s next sentence completely froze her thoughts.

"These distant relatives have actually been searching for you," Aurora spoke calmly. "And trust me when I say this... they are very wealthy."

Mira’s eyes widened instantly.

She even forgot to breathe for a second.

’Rich relatives...? Searching for me...? How is that even possible...?’

For a moment, it felt almost like some absurd fairy tale.

A bitter smile slowly appeared across Mira’s face.

"Miss Dawn," she spoke helplessly, "I do not wish to doubt you, but I have lived in an orphanage for almost twenty years."

Her voice grew quieter afterward.

"Not a single relative has ever even visited me before. So how can you possibly be certain about this?"

Aurora merely shrugged calmly.

"As I said earlier, the choice is yours in the end."

She leaned back elegantly against her chair.

"Both options are good choices, and regardless of which one you choose, you are not truly losing anything."

Mira lowered her head thoughtfully.

Several moments later, she suddenly asked,

"If I choose the second option now... would the first proposal still remain available if I ever wished to change my mind later?"

Hearing those words, Aurora genuinely felt impressed.

This girl was incredibly level-headed.

Even while facing such tempting opportunities, she still retained enough calmness to think carefully about future possibilities.

Aurora chuckled softly.

"That would depend on whether I still find you valuable at that time."

She deliberately dragged out the final syllables slowly.

"If I eventually decide that you are worthless..." Aurora smiled faintly. "Then naturally, the proposal would disappear."

Mira quietly fell into thought again.

After a very long silence, she finally closed her eyes briefly.

Deep down, she honestly wanted to curse herself for making such a risky decision.

Yet despite that, she still slowly spoke,

"I will choose the second option."
