After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 346

Chapter 346: Chapter 346: Framing and Shifting Blame

"It must be the Zieglers."

Ronan Rowan said.

"Not necessarily."

Nina Jacobs said. At first, she’d also suspected the Zieglers.

But since these two were still alive, it couldn’t have been them.

"It was..."

Atticus stammered, seemingly afraid to speak.

"A woman, wasn’t it?"

Nina Jacobs recalled the middle-aged woman who had shown up at Mordecai Quinn’s house two nights ago.

She remembered Mordecai Quinn calling her Miss Sutton.

"How did you know?!"

Atticus blurted out.

"It was a woman named Rosalind Keane! She’s the one who hired us!"

Cyril Vance confessed.

"Her? Miss Sutton’s daughter?"

Both Ronan Rowan and Alice Gallagher looked shocked.

"Didn’t she used to pursue Commander Quinn?"

Alice Gallagher said.

’Could it be that love turned to hate?’

"A pledge of loyalty, I’m guessing."

Nina Jacobs said.

She remembered Miss Sutton saying her daughter, Rosalind, was now with Zachary Ziegler.

If this Rosalind Keane had pursued Mordecai Quinn in the past, then killing him would be the only way to prove her loyalty to her new partner.

"We were blinded by the promise of supplies. We’ll never do anything like this again."

Cyril Vance said.

"Never again? You think the Commander is just going to let you go?"

Ronan Rowan said coldly.

The two men’s faces turned ashen.

"I failed Mr. Coleman and the others... I’m the one who took this job. I deserve to die, I deserve to die!"

Atticus wailed.

They had been so hungry.

And when they thought about how the base’s mismanagement had led to their current predicament, they’d steeled themselves and accepted the job.

"You want to live? I can tell you how."

Nina Jacobs said.

The wailing stopped abruptly. The two men looked up at Nina Jacobs, stunned.

"What is it?"

Atticus asked immediately.

Ronan Rowan and Alice Gallagher exchanged a look. They could tell how much Mordecai Quinn cared about the woman in front of them.

’But she wants to let go of the people who tried to kill him?’

"If you go before the entire base and say that Zachary Ziegler hired you, and you can produce convincing evidence,"

"I will make sure you leave this base alive."

Nina Jacobs pointed toward the center of the base’s plaza in the distance.

Everyone in the base was gathered there, listening to Zachary Ziegler share his vision for its future.

Atticus and Cyril’s eyes widened.

"I have evidence! I have it on me!"

Cyril Vance said, suddenly remembering something.

They had gone back to retrieve it, which was why they’d sent Mr. Coleman, Valen, and the others ahead to find the woman.

As a result, Mr. Coleman and the others were killed, leaving only him and Atticus alive.

"What is it?! Take it out!"
