Chapter 12 

Chapter 12 

Aurora glanced at the list before speaking slowly and deliberately

On November 8, 2022, I took care of you when you had a high fever, so the standard caregiver rate is $120

+25 BONUS 

On November 23, I made three round trips to deliver urgent documents for you. It’s twelve kilometers in total, which comes to $60

From 2022 to 2024, I cooked and delivered homemade meals and nutritious soups for you every single day for three years. That comes to $16,600.” 

Her expression remained calm as she read each line aloud, but in her mind, flashes of the past three years played out

She had wasted three years on a man who was never worth it

She had poured time and effort into him, learning to cook, making soups, delivering meals day after day, all for someone who never truly appreciated it

And now, here they weresettling old debts in front of an audience

At first, Joseph listened with an air of indifference

But as Aurora continued listing item after item, his brows furrowed, his expression darkening with every word

Since when had she done all this for him

More importantly, was this whole spectacle just her way of making him see everything she had done for him? A desperate attempt to guilt him into taking her back

How calculated

Enough!Joseph snapped coldly, cutting her off

Aurora, what’s the point of this? You did all of that willingly, didn’t you? Admit itthis is just your way of avoiding returning the gifts I gave you

Even after we’ve broken up, you’re still trying to hold onto them. You really are nothing but a gold digger!” 

Exactly,Judy chimed in, her voice soft, almost pitying, as if speaking to someone hopelessly clinging to love

Miss Walton, you did all of this willingly because you wanted to please Joseph. No one forced you.” 

Willingly?Aurora repeated, her lips curling into a smirk

She let the word sit in the air for a moment before laughing lightly

If I remember correctly, Mr. Hunt, those gifts you gave me were also given willingly. I never once asked for them.” 

Those socalled gifts had been nothing more than afterthoughts, handed to her like scraps

And yet, she once loved the man in front of her

But it was him who asked her if she wanted to be with him

She never once forced herself on him, never clung to him, and was never a burden

However, Joseph had completely lost his patience

His expression twisted with irritation as he shot her a disgusted look

After all that talk, you just can’t stand to part with the gifts I gave you, can you?” 

Relax.”

Aurora pulled out another list, her tone indifferent. I don’t care about your socalled gifts.” 

Joseph’s brows furrowed

Aurora, unbothered, began reading off the list at a steady pace

In March 2022, you gave me a few counterfeit designer scarves for $0.38 each

On April 5, you gifted me a heartshaped chocolate box for $3.78 

On Valentine’s Day, you got me a discount makeup kit for $6.78

The moment she started, the entire restaurant erupted

A rich kid giving knockoff gifts? Wow, are all wealthy guys this cheap?” 

And here I thought she was some gold digger trying to bleed a rich guy dry but turns out he’s the one manipulating a gorgeous woman while being an absolute cheapskate.” 

No wonder he was so willing to give her those giftsdo they even add up to fifty bucks? And she actually kept them all this time?” 

As murmurs and laughter spread through the restaurant, Joseph’s face darkened, turning an ugly shade of red

Furious, he shot to his feet, pointing a finger at Aurora

Enough! I never thought you’d be this manipulative! Not only are you refusing to return what I gave you, but you’re twisting the truth

I had my assistant pick out those gifts! There’s no way they were counterfeits! Do you really think someone from my background would give out fake luxury goods?!” 

Oh?” 

Aurora scoffed, gathering up the pile of worthless trinkets before flinging them straight at Joseph

Do me a favor, Mr. Huntopen your damn eyes and take a good look. Recognize your own handwriting on these gift tags?” 

Joseph had a habit. Every time he gave a gift, he attached a handwritten card

Aurora, foolishly treasuring them at the time, never removed them 

Now, they were perfect evidence

Joseph stared at his own handwriting, his face shifting from anger to a deep shade of red, then slowly darkening to an ashen 

gray

The weight of dozens of judgmental stares bore down on him, suffocating

He had never been this publicly humiliated in his life

Even Judy, standing beside him, looked visibly embarrassed and caught off guard

However, Aurora didn’t spare either of them a second glance

She lifted her gaze, expression sharp with mockery

Since you’re so obsessed with settling accounts, I’ve got everything right here. This is the total cost of the gifts I gave you and my labor fees-$22,704.60.

As for your socalled gifts, they’re all here. Accounting for depreciation, you still owe me” 

She glanced at the final number, her lips curling, $3.78.” 

2/3

She raised a brow, taking her time as she added, So, Mr. Hunt, that leaves you with a balance of $22,700.82. Cash or bank transfer?”
