“The White Jade Balm you use on your face costs at least a million dollars per jar on the regular market. Even at auctions, several million is still considered cheap.

“I gave you three jars in total. I won’t charge you auction prices, only standard market rates. That adds up to three million dollars.”

Zora listed every expense one by one.

Since the Knox family insisted on counting every penny so carefully, Zora saw no reason to hold back any longer.

Everything had to be settled plainly and fairly. She would never take advantage of them, and they were not allowed to take advantage of her either.

Her long list of charges left all the Knox family members utterly stunned.

“Zora, are you obsessed with money? How could a girl raised out in the countryside even get her hands on century-old ginseng?”

Wendy’s anger flared up again. She could barely understand most of the rare herbs Zora had named, but she knew exactly how valuable century-old ginseng was.

Even the Knox family could hardly get hold of such precious goods, let alone a girl from a remote small town.

“Besides, the face cream I use was given to me by Jolie. It has nothing to do with you at all.”

“Here are the official appraisal documents. You can still find the leftover herbal residues from the remedies I made for your family. Feel free to send them for professional testing.”

Faced with Wendy’s disbelief, Zora smiled faintly and pulled out the ginseng certification papers on her phone.

“I will sort out the full list of medicinal ingredients I provided and send all the details to your email. All prices are quoted by Hale Apothecary. If you think the charges are unreasonable, you can ask other professional institutions for a second appraisal. If there is a huge price gap, you may choose the lowest offer and send it over to me.”

Zora spoke in a calm, steady tone without the slightest hesitation.

“Mrs. Knox, as for the facial cream you have been using, this is the official patent certificate for my White Jade Balm; you can verify it anytime you want.

“I have no idea where Jolie got that cream she gave you, but I am the sole person who owns this exclusive formula. If she didn’t take it from me and give it to you in my name, then she stole it.

“I lost five jars in total, worth five million dollars in total. This is enough to file an official police report, and I have every right to press formal criminal charges against her.”

She flipped through her phone screen again and showed everyone the legally registered patent files.

Her mentor had prepared all the legal paperwork perfectly in advance.

“Don’t you dare slander Jolie like that!”

Wendy was already in complete shock. The moment she heard Zora planned to press criminal charges against Jolie, panic instantly flooded her mind. Jolie had just gotten out of the detention center not long ago; another offense would ruin everything and drag the entire family’s reputation straight into the mud. Her voice turned sharp and harsh instantly.

“The police investigation will easily prove whether I am lying or not.”

Zora did not spare her any face at all.

The three Knox brothers never expected more hidden secrets to surface one after another.

They could not help wondering how many reckless things Jolie had done behind their backs.

They also realized Zora was far more extraordinary than they had ever thought. Raised in a quiet rural town, she could easily take out century-old ginseng and countless other priceless medicinal herbs.

It was impossible that these valuables came from the Marlows, for Zora barely had any contact with them back when she prepared those remedies.

“Zora, send me your account number. I will transfer all the money to you right away.”

Yale took a deep breath to calm himself down. He knew continuing this pointless quarrel would only bring more shame to their whole family.

He looked straight at Zora, his eyes now cold and distant, just like looking at a total stranger.

The bond between this younger sister and their family was completely broken, and there was no possibility of reconciliation anymore.

Zora sent over her bank details without delay and soon received a transfer totaling 13 million dollars.

“Since everything is settled, please do not disturb me ever again. If you keep pestering and harassing me repeatedly, I will not hesitate to call the police for proper intervention.”

When dealing with the Knox family, Zora spoke with unprecedented clarity and logic, as if she had rehearsed every single word countless times in her heart, allowing her to fight back

effortlessly when the moment came.

Strictly speaking, Zora had only stayed at the Knox Villa for two short months.

Aside from that shallow blood relation that meant nothing, she had no real connection with this family whatsoever.

In truth, she was the one who had suffered far more losses.

The rare herbs and premium remedies she had given them were extremely valuable in auction markets. That single century-old ginseng alone was worth far more than 13 million dollars.

Zora had visited auction venues many times alongside her mentor. Unlike wealthy elites who used fancy formal terms, she always called those places simple trading markets, just like ordinary local shopping malls.

To her, watching rich people bid wildly for the goods she and her mentor prepared was always dull enough to make her sleepy.

The messy conflicts with the Knox family finally came to an end, and all ties were completely severed.

All the Knox family members stood frozen in place, staring blankly at Zora’s departing figure for a long time.

She never once turned her head back to glance at them. There was truly no way to mend their broken relationship anymore.

After Zora left, all the security guards dispersed as well.

The bank card Wendy had thrown roughly onto the ground lay there alone, holding the money she had forced out of Zora, looking unbearably glaring and awkward.

Wendy watched Zora walk further and further away, and a hollow, painful emptiness suddenly settled deep inside her chest, as if a huge hole had been torn open in her heart, filled with piercing cold wind that left her feeling both numb and heartbroken.

It took her ages to catch her breath. All she had wanted at first was to scold Zora a little and make her admit her mistakes, yet everything had spiraled completely out of control into this irreparable situation.
