After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 430

Chapter 430: Chapter 430: Rumor

"Director Palmer, why don’t you just get to the point,"

Cordelia said with a frown.

’I have a bad feeling about this.’

Especially after seeing Rhonda Rowan with Director Palmer.

After all, Rhonda Rowan had been just an ordinary person in the Relief Society, someone who couldn’t even get close to people like Director Palmer.

’Her coming here with Director Palmer most likely means it’s about that thing we’ve all been worried about.’

Rhonda Rowan surveyed their residence, an unreadable expression in her eyes.

She had never imagined she would one day be able to enter such a house. It was said that only those who had made significant contributions to the base were qualified to live in a place like this.

In short, it was a place for the privileged.

"Cordelia, I’m sorry. Times have been too hard for everyone lately.

When I saw Nina Jacobs today, I hesitated, but I still told Director Palmer about Lexy..."

"Rhonda Rowan! What about the promise you made us?"

Tobin was already starting to regret letting Rhonda Rowan return to Lornwood Base alone.

"Tobin, the Relief Society helped you in the past, didn’t it?

If you’re friends with this Miss Jacobs, you should try to persuade her.

As long as she hands over that Hydrokinetic Cat,

everyone here will keep it a secret for her,"

Director Palmer said.

"Hydrokinetic Cat? What are you talking about?"

Nina Jacobs asked with a smile.

"I do have a cat here, but Lexy is just a desert cat."

Nina Jacobs called out, and with a MEOW, Lexy came running down from upstairs.

"Nina Jacobs, Lexy clearly has a Water Element Superpower!

Back in Veridia Town, I saw it create water with my own eyes!"

Rhonda Rowan shouted excitedly, pointing at Lexy, who was nestled against Nina Jacobs’s side.

"So there really is a cat?"

The two men behind Director Palmer were also staring at Lexy.

"It’s a cat, but it has nothing to do with a Water Element Superpower,"

Nina Jacobs said, her expression unchanging.

In her presence, Lexy would only create water upon her command.

"Nina Jacobs, do you have any idea how many people in the base have no water to drink?

As long as you’re willing to lend us Lexy for a while, we promise we won’t tell anyone about this!"

Rhonda Rowan said.

"You promise? First, you should get a clear sense of your own standing."

Nina Jacobs looked at her with a half-smile.

The meaning was self-evident.

’Rhonda Rowan’s promise isn’t worth a damn.’

Her words seemed to have struck a nerve, and Rhonda Rowan’s expression immediately became incredibly awkward.

"So, you’re saying you disagree, Miss Jacobs?"

Director Palmer asked.

"It’s a complete fabrication. Why would I agree?

Or is it that you, Director Palmer, are trying to pin some baseless accusation on me to achieve some goal?"

Nina Jacobs had heard a little about this Director Palmer.

She appeared to be the founder of the Relief Society, usually winning people over by claiming to help them.

In reality, the Relief Society was already corrupt to the core.

Nina Jacobs even suspected that Director Palmer had been a part of the base’s leadership from the start.

"It seems I underestimated you."

Director Palmer stood up. She dropped her previous benevolent smile and asked,

"I heard you killed Corin?"

"You mean that coward who tried to rob us on the road and kill us?"

Nina Jacobs asked.

"You shut your mouth! Corin wasn’t that kind of person!

He... he even protected Ms. Rowan!"

a young man who had come with them shouted furiously.

"You’re the one who should shut up. A kept man like you has the nerve to bark here?"

Silas Crowley was never one to be polite.

He had heard a few things about the man with Director Palmer, Montague Goldman, over the past few days.

Everyone knew he was serving Director Palmer.

It was just that this sort of thing was so common that everyone had an unspoken agreement not to mention it.

But now that Silas Crowley had said it out loud, Montague Goldman’s face instantly turned dark red.

"Silas Crowley, you’re as impulsive as ever.

Since Miss Jacobs is unwilling, we won’t force the issue.

We just hope you’ll all know what’s good for you."
