Chapter 166 I Don’t Owe You a Thing

“Just admit it plainly if you can’t afford to pay me back.”

Disgust lingered undisguised in Wendy’s eyes when she looked at Zora.

“First off, meals. I stuck to plain bread while you all ate the ‘grass’ I never liked or tried. That’s no more than ten thousand dollars in two months at most.

“Second, your daily toiletries plus utility fees, another maximum of ten thousand dollars.

“Third, you put me in the servant’s room. I’ve checked the market rent, it’s no more than five thousand dollars a month. For two months, that totals ten thousand dollars.

“Fourth, I never wore any of your family’s clothes or used any skincare products you prepared for me.

“Fifth, I didn’t put on a single piece of your jewelry. You can go back and check. I don’t owe you a cent for that.

“All in all, the total is merely 30 thousand dollars.

“Mrs. Knox, are you that desperate for money that you want to rob me? I don’t mind calling the police.”

Zora had money, but she wasn’t stupid.

Wendy was instantly boiling with rage.

“Give me your bank account number.”

Zora’s expression remained utterly unchanged.

Wendy fumbled her bank card out of her handbag and tossed it harshly toward Zora.

“The tuition for your school was paid by us. It costs 500 thousand dollars per semester, and we paid for your entire senior year.”

Wendy suddenly brought up Zora’s school expenses.

Zora stayed silent, staring calmly at the card on the floor without picking it up. She simply took out her phone, scanned the card remotely, and transferred one million and thirty thousand dollars right away.

“Don’t you dare spend money given by your grandma! The apartment you live in was found for you by your cousin. Stop relying on the Marlow family’s connections and resources!”

Wendy glared at Zora’s current residence, a nice place she herself had never lived in. She

“This money is entirely mine; it has nothing to do with the Marlows. Feel free to investigate if you doubt me. I have never touched a penny from the Marlow family. As for this apartment, I will move out soon. You can tell me the monthly rent, and I will pay it to Jensen myself.”

Zora glanced back at the house behind her with a calm face.

“This place costs no less than 500 thousand dollars in rent every single month.”

Now that all decency was thrown aside, Wendy hated seeing Zora stay so calm and distant, desperate to break her composure.

Why was she the only one suffering all the grievances and anger, while the root of all troubles could live so peacefully and unbothered?

This daughter was born to drain her luck and happiness, ruining her entire life; why should Zora get to live in peace?

The three Knox brothers listened to every word spoken, realizing there was no way to fix things

anymore.

They slowly closed their eyes.

After Wendy made such a scene, there was no chance left for reconciliation between their family and Zora. None of them knew how to mend the broken bond.

They were caught between their birth mother and a younger sister who had long grown distant from them.

“Is that all?”

Zora nodded lightly, tapped a few times on her phone, and transferred 500 thousand dollars straight into Jensen’s account.

She held up her phone screen for Wendy to see clearly.

Wendy was left speechless on the spot.

“I gave birth to you! I carried you in my womb for nine whole months and endured endless pain back then…”

More thoughts rushed into her mind. She refused to let Zora cut all ties so easily. As her biological mother, she would never allow Zora to break off all relations with the Knox family completely.

“Mom! How much longer are you going to make a fuss?”

Yale suddenly snapped out in anger.

“You carried me for nine months, but the baby you gave birth to was suffocated right after delivery. Mrs. Knox, strictly speaking, your family killed me the moment I was born. I owe absolutely nothing to the Knox family.”

Zora was not the slightest bit surprised that Wendy tried to bring up blood ties to pressure her, for she had long planned to settle every single score with them.

Every member of the Knox family froze in shock after hearing her words.

“What do you mean you were suffocated right after birth?”

Wendy’s eyes widened sharply, a sharp, unexplainable pain surging through her heart.

What did she mean?

“Right after I was born, I was swapped with Jolie. The person who swapped us choked me until I lost all breath and dumped me in a trash can. It was my mentor who saved my life and brought me back from the brink of death. I do not owe the Knox family anything at all.”

Having said so much already, Zora did not mind clarifying everything fully, so they would stop thinking she was indebted to them and pestering her repeatedly.

“With the Knox family’s influence, you can easily dig up the truth about what happened 17 years ago. Feel free to look into it if you refuse to believe me.

“Since we’ve settled all my debts to the Knox family, it’s time to count all the favors you owe

me.”

“How could we possibly owe you anything?” Wendy’s breath grew uneven. All her anger faded away in an instant like doused cold water the second she heard Zora was nearly killed right after birth.

She stared at Zora, gradually suppressing the hatred in her eyes, yet her tone still remained sharp and harsh.

“I specially brewed calming tonics and nourishing soups for your two elder sons. Those remedies cost me a precious century-old ginseng worth no less than five million dollars, plus a rare century-old purple ganoderma.

“They also contained deer antler, dendrobium nobile, musk, agarwood, astragalus, fish maw, tiger bone, and bear bile, alongside countless other top-grade medicinal herbs.

“My herbs are of the highest quality. I won’t overcharge you. I provided two months’ worth of medicine. That’s ten million total.”
