Chapter 99
Reborn Omega . Avenge Herself Like an Alpha
99 The Mask Cracks
Aubrey’s POV
“ Well , dear stepmother, enjoy tattling?”
I flexed my wrist and similed sweetly. “Was it fun watching me get yelled at in the drawing room ? ”
“Enough… Aubrey, do you even know where you are right now?” my father snapped, face flushed with embarrassment. He’d always cared too much about appearances, always preaching that family matters should be settled behind closed doors.
But I didn’t agree – and neither did Aurelia.
The hatred in her eyes was practically spilling out, but in the next second, she dropped her head and sat on the floor with pitiful tears in her eyes.
“Aubrey, why would you treat me like this? I’m your mother! I just care about you. I just wanted to guide you back to the right path. You make such a scene at home could
you at least spare your father some dignity out here? ”

Her voice was full of wounded sorrow, drawing immediate sympathy from the crowd. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access s of novels early and in the highest quality.
“So that’s Aurelia’s stepdaughter? The gloomy little omega? She’s pretty, sure, but her personality is awful! Slapping people in public?”
“Even animals know gratitude. She’s worse than an animal! If my daughter acted like that, I’d die from rage!”
Someone even stepped forward to help Aurelia up. “Don’t protect her this time, Aurelia. She needs to spend a few days in the werewolf security lock–up!”
Aurelia looked up at me, trembling like she was the one being abused at home. Her act only made onlookers glare at me with more disgust.
Maybe before, when she badmouthed me behind my back, some people still had doubts. But now, after those two slaps, they’d clearly chosen her side.
Too bad for her today, I was done playing nice.

I raised my voice, loud and clear over the stunned crowd. “Ungrateful? Inhuman? Then let me ask all of you. something!”
–
“She parades around slandering her husband’s daughter from his first marriage — acting like a victim in public while bullying me in secret. You call that motherhood?!”
I strode toward Aurelia step by step.
“Aurelia, I stayed silent all these years because I was afraid – of you, of the Lynn family. I let you smear me. But not today. I’m done. Let’s lay it all out right now!”
Panic flickered in Aurelia’s eyes. I swept my gaze around the crowd. “You’ve all heard her sing her sob story. Let’s see how much of it holds up!”
“You’re the one who’s out of line!” someone shouted. “Aurelia treats you like royalty! She gives you fifty thousand a month as allowance. Even her own daughter, Bailey, only gets five!”

Perfect I turned my eyes on Aurelia. “ Those fifty thousand a month – did you give me cash or transfer st to my bankt
Everyone stared at her. My father kept silent. The rest of the Lynn family was still out back. With nowhere to run , Aurelia hesitated and mumbled, “Sometimes cash… sometimes I transferred it…”
“Really?” I pressed. “Did you use your phone or a computer to make the transfers?”
She wavered again. “Both…”
“Great! Then show us. Use your phone and pull up any transaction to any of my accounts. If you can show a single payment to a bank account of mine, I’ll admit you’re telling the truth.”
Aurelia froze, then quickly hid her phone behind her. “I… I delete the messages after I send them…”
“And yet you still ask me for my account info every month?” I laughed outright. “Fine. Then tell me – which bank do I use?”
–
Her face turned ghostly pale. She couldn’t answer. Of course she couldn’t the only things she’d ever given me were a locked basement and spoiled food.
I looked down at her, cold and steady.
“You don’t even know that much, do you?”
