    Chapter 335


    ra shrieked in agitation, "Don''t touch her!"


    She picked up the stool nearby and smashed it over Denzel! Denzel was taken aback, surprised that


    ra would go that far.


    Nheless, he recovered and pped ra brutally across the face, and Zoe thought for an instant


    that he had killed her.


    ra 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!" heughed.


    "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 ande 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!" Her sudden strength actually


    stunned Denzel again.


    But seeing that she was so determined, Denzel growled through his teeth, "You''d better give me the


    money tomorrow, or you and your mother are dead! Don''t try to run—your mother tried so many times,


    but did that ever work? I''ll kill you if you do!"


    And with that threat, Denzel kicked the door on his way out while Zoe dropped to a crouch, feeling


    exhausted right then.


    She might really have cked out if he stayed.


    "I''m sorry.I''m so sorry..."


    At the same time, ra ignored her pain and kept apologizing to Zoe repeatedly.


    Zoe did not even look ra''s way and quietly returned to her bed.


    Zoe had never slept well ever since she came here.


    ra had cleaned up the room the next day, and Zoe would have thought thatst night was just a


    nightmare if not for the gruesome scarlet swelling on ra''s face.


    She was getting out of bed as ra came to her with a bowl of shrimp soup, offering it to her


    eagerly.She looked at ra then.


    Her clothing was in, and it was obvious that she never had much upkeep since her face was


    covered with wrinkles in her early fifties, as if she was already sixty.


    It was a far cry from Nancy''s appearance.

    Nheless, Zoe lowered her eyes and quietly took a sip of the soup.


    ra was smiling, but her eyes were welling with tears too.


    Zoe had eaten ra''s cooking over the past week but never in front of her, only taking small bites after


    she was gone.
