Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 327

Chapter 327: Chapter 327: A Huge Misunderstanding

Seeing Melody Summers’s helpless expression, Lucy White, who was standing to the side, quickly spoke up. "Mr. Jennings, many cities are known for their cherries, but there are only five regions famous for their specific varieties: the sweet cherries of Lunara, the weeping cherries of Kinsland, the short-stemmed cherries of Gideon, and the cherries from Hillcrest and Soleia."

"While Lunara’s sweet cherries are famous, it’s even more famous for its apples. If you were from Lunara, Mr. Jennings, you would probably say your hometown’s specialty is apples."

"By the same logic, Gideon is more famous for its Fengqiao torreya nuts and pearls than its cherries, and Hillcrest is better known for its tea and chestnuts. So, we guessed that you must be from Soleia, Mr. Jennings."

As soon as Lucy White finished speaking, Zane Simmons glanced at her, a hint of surprise and admiration in his eyes.

He had originally thought Lucy White was just another pretty face with nothing inside, like her sister Joanne—a Canary kept in a cage. He hadn’t expected her to be so knowledgeable.

Upon hearing this, Carter Jennings couldn’t help but clap his hands and exclaim, "Impressive, Miss White. You know so much. Could it be that we’re from the same hometown?"

Lucy White quickly waved her hands and replied, "No, no, I’m not. I just happened to read a government document about the development of native agricultural and forestry products, so I learned a little about it."

Before the catastrophe, Lucy White had been an ordinary, hardworking student who took her studies seriously.

If it hadn’t been for the catastrophe, she would have followed her original life plan: finish her education, then pursue graduate school or a civil service career.

A single catastrophe rewrote the destinies of countless people.

Lucy White could no longer attend school. She lost her loving parents and was sold into the hellhole of The Crestview Hotel. From then on, her life completely lost its direction.

Hearing this, Zane Simmons took another deep look at Lucy White.

Before, he had seen Lucy White as a lily. He enjoyed placing the two sister "flowers," Lucy and Joanne, together. They were equally beautiful, a pleasing sight to behold.

But now, he felt that Lucy White was more than just a decorative flower. She was more like an interesting enigma...

Lucy White didn’t notice Zane Simmons watching her. Her entire focus was on Melody Summers.

Seeing Melody editing the audio she had just recorded with a miniature camera, Lucy recalled how Zara Walsh had admitted in the hallway to abusing her power for personal revenge by withholding the coal supply for Melody’s residential community.

Lucy guessed that Melody was likely preparing to use the evidence to report Zara Walsh.

Lucy had previously overheard a conversation between Zane and Bernard Simmons, so she knew the Simmons family had helped arrange Zara Walsh’s job. She hesitated, unsure if she should tell Melody about this...

Just then, Winnie Summers and Joanna Dunn walked over, talking and laughing together.

Winnie Summers patted Melody Summers’s shoulder and said with a smile, "Sweetheart, Miss Joanna Dunn was just saying there’s a charity auction upstairs in a little while. Do you want to come with us and check it out?"

Hearing this, Melody quickly put away her phone, mid-edit, and nodded. "Sure! I’ll go."

Melody then turned to Lucy White and asked, "What about you? Want to come with us?"

Lucy White hesitated for a moment before nodding and replying, "Okay."

Lucy knew that right now, in the Simmons family’s presidential suite, something was happening that could turn her life upside down.

One of the masterminds was her sister, Joanne White.

She was only able to stay at The Nimbus Hotel because she was dependent on her sister. Her fate was inextricably linked with Joanne’s. If anything happened to Joanne, she would definitely be dragged down too.

She didn’t know what her future held. Perhaps in a few hours, the Simmons family would throw her out of the hotel to freeze to death outside.

Thinking of this, Lucy White looked up at Melody Summers. ’If these are the last few hours of my life, I want to spend them with the person who saved me from that hellhole...’
