Chapter 335
Clara shrieked in agitation, "Don't touch her!"
She picked up the stool nearby and smashed it over Denzel!
Denzel was taken aback, surprised that Clara would go that far.
Nonetheless, he recovered and slapped Clara brutally across the face, and Zoe thought for an instant that he had killed her.
Clara dropped to the ground, unable to get up for a long while.
And after knocking her down, Denzel strode toward Zoe again, who said bluntly, "I'll give you the money you want."
"Hah!" he laughed. "Trying to trick me, you little b*tch?! You're a sl*t just like your mom! She got pregnant by riding some dude and had you! Just shut up and come with me, spread your legs a couple nights and I won't ever bother you once I have my money-’
"I said, I can give it to you!" Zoe bellowed, her voice furious and almost frightening, as if she was venting all the grief she had kept inside at that instant.
Denzel was actually a little shocked by her sudden ferocity.
After all, Cora had never dared speak up in his presence before, and she would be hiding in a corner and crying whenever he came demanding money.
And now, she was fighting back?
He noticed upon a closer look that she looked a little different, but his memory of her was fuzzy anyway since she never lived together with them.
"I'll give it to you tomorrow!" Zoe snapped loudly and clearly at Denzel then.
"Did you really think I'd believe you? What if you run away tomorrow?!" Denzel snarled.
"Then you can kill me! I'd never follow you anyway!" Zoe retorted, looking utterly fearless. "And if I'm dead, you'd be a murderer and you'd never get a cent!"
