Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 225

Chapter 225: Chapter 225: An Unexpected Ally

Hearing this, Zara Walsh’s face instantly turned crimson with rage.

In that moment, she felt all the composure and pride she normally flaunted evaporate. She had to teach Melody Summers a lesson!

She shot up from her seat, took two or three steps to stand before Melody Summers, and reached out to grab her hair.

The situation escalated so suddenly that Melody Summers slipped a hand into her pocket and pulled a taser out from her spatial storage.

Her current taser was a modified one. If Zara Walsh’s hand got any closer, she was ready to fry it to a crisp.

In a corner no one was paying attention to, Lucy White, who had been focused on her food, suddenly stood up. She took two steps forward to stand beside Melody Summers, watching Zara Walsh warily.

But before Zara Walsh’s hand could touch Melody Summers, Yuri Walsh swiftly intercepted it.

Yuri Walsh hissed, "Zara! What are you doing? This is the research institute’s celebration banquet. Are you really going to make a scene here?"

Kylie Walsh also stood up anxiously. She walked over, grabbing Zara Walsh’s arm. "Calm down! Don’t cause trouble here!"

Zara Walsh sobered up a little at their words. She gritted her teeth and glared at Melody Summers, trying to suppress the rage in her heart.

But Melody Summers just let out a snort of laughter. "Tsk, is this the ’table manners’ you were talking about earlier? Does your family’s etiquette teach you to attack people at the dinner table? If so, I’ve certainly seen it all now..."

Seeing Melody Summers’s mocking smile, the anger Zara had just barely suppressed flared up again.

Blocked by Yuri, she couldn’t get to Melody. So, she leaned over and snatched a half-full glass of champagne from the table. With a flick of her wrist, she flung the contents at Melody Summers.

In a flash, Lucy White darted forward and stood in front of Melody Summers, shielding her from the incoming champagne.

Seeing that Zara was about to lose it completely and that other guests were starting to look over, Yuri and Kylie Walsh hastily dragged her out of the banquet hall.

Melody paid no mind to the departing Walshs. She looked at Lucy White, surprised, not understanding why she would take the splash for her.

Noticing the champagne stain on Lucy’s dress, Melody quickly pulled out a few tissues and began to dab at it for her.

Fortunately, it had only been half a glass, so the wet spot wasn’t very large.

Melody looked at Lucy with a guilty expression. "Thank you for helping me. I’m sorry you got dragged into this... How much was your dress? Let me pay for it."

But Lucy White just shook her head. She whispered to Melody Summers, a little agitated, "No, you don’t have to pay..."

Lucy added silently, ’I should be the one thanking you.’

What Melody didn’t know was that on the second basement level of The Crestview Hotel, Lucy White had personally seen Melody walk into the room where Nina Summers was being held captive.

Melody didn’t look like one of the prostitutes at The Crestview Hotel. Confused, Lucy had quietly followed her.

The doors to those small rooms weren’t very soundproof. Pressing her ear against the door, Lucy faintly heard words like "call the police" coming from inside.

Lucy’s heart instantly started pounding. After returning to her room, she began to pray desperately that those words were real...

Thankfully, as if heaven had taken pity, the police really did arrive a short while later.

And so, Lucy knew. The girl who had entered Nina Summers’s room that day was the one who had saved her. She was the one who had pulled her out of the depths of hell.
