A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 218

Zoe sat calmly in her MPV even as Penny kept rambling on beside her. “Those ingrates, turning coats as soon as Mandy bought them some snacks! Don’t they remember that you’ve been treating them to tea every other day? Put together, that’s way more than what it cost Mandy! And why won’t you let me scold them, Zoe? Badmouthing us behind our backs… it’s outrageous!”
