After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Unlocking "Doomsday Gourmet

"Is what he said all true?"

It was like her past life playing out all over again. Nina Jacobs looked at Renee Strong.

"It is. You know, Nina Jacobs,

women are drawn to the strong. I’m no different."

There was a hint of smugness in Renee Strong’s voice.

’In this life, Liam Grant is going to be even more amazing. And the one standing by his side won’t be Nina Jacobs anymore. It’ll be me.’

"I have nothing to say,

and while your taste in men is as bad as mine was,

I hope you two never break up."

Nina Jacobs said sincerely.

’I never let a grudge go unsettled.’

’It would be best if those two were stuck together forever. That will make taking my revenge later so much more fun.’

"Nina Jacobs, I’m not some kind of liar.

Come with me, and you’ll see."

Before Renee Strong could react, Ivan Lawson tried to grab Nina Jacobs again.

However, an unfamiliar figure stepped in front of him.

Nina Jacobs also looked over in surprise.

"Leo Hale?"

Leo Hale was the eldest son of Daniel Hale and his ex-wife. In her past life, it was from him that she had learned of the deaths of her mother, Vera Coleman, and Daniel Hale.

But back then, Leo Hale had hated Nina Jacobs to the core.

Furthermore, Nina Jacobs’s group hadn’t stayed long in the shelter, and she had never seen him again after that.

"Is that any way to treat a woman?

Even scum like us wouldn’t be as shameless as you."

Leo Hale had never been fond of Nina Jacobs.

But he just so happened to run into the situation today.

Vera Coleman treated him well. For her sake, he couldn’t just stand by and watch Nina Jacobs get bullied.

Leo Hale was your typical good-for-nothing rich kid, so he was never short on hangers-on.

Seeing that they were surrounded, Renee Strong had no choice but to grab Ivan Lawson and apologize.

’Their top priority is to hoard supplies.’

"Forget it. You can go.

Just don’t bother me again."

Nina Jacobs had already seen the ruthlessness in Ivan Lawson’s eyes.

’I’ve killed in the apocalypse, and so has he. Even with all the guys Leo Hale brought, they wouldn’t necessarily be a match for him.’

"You’re just letting them go like that? Without teaching them a lesson?"

Leo Hale had a gut feeling that Nina Jacobs was a lost cause.

’No matter what trouble she gets into, I can find people to sort it out for her.’

"You can’t beat him."

Nina Jacobs glanced at Leo Hale, preparing to leave.

Leo Hale had been drinking, and he was a size 2XL.

’Letting him fight my battles for me would clearly be unwise.’

Although Leo Hale was deeply annoyed, he still called out to her,

"You should go see Miss Coleman.

Lately, she’s been..."

"What’s been going on with her lately?"

Nina Jacobs could tell there was something strange about Leo Hale’s tone.

Because she had grown up with her grandmother, her relationship with her mother, Vera Coleman, had always been distant.

But if possible, she still hoped her mother would stay alive.

It would also be a way to honor her grandmother’s dying wish.

She had already planned to visit Daniel Hale’s house before the acid rain started.

"It’s... nothing major. You’ll know when you see her."

Leo Hale rubbed his nose.

’I don’t know why,’ he thought, ’but even though I’m three years older than Nina Jacobs, I always lose my nerve around her.’

"Got it. I’ll go tomorrow."

Nina Jacobs turned to pay, then grabbed several large bags of food and prepared to leave.

However, she still didn’t forget to give him a reminder.

"You should probably head home early these next couple of days, too."

"Huh?"

Leo Hale froze.

’Did Nina Jacobs just talk to me on her own initiative?’
