Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 336

Chapter 336: Chapter 336: She’s Out of My League

As they were leaving, Melody Summers quietly pulled Lucy White aside and told her what had just happened upstairs.

"A moment ago, Bernard Simmons was... caught red-handed in his room by Mrs. Walsh and Zane Simmons. Someone sent Zane the surveillance footage of Joanne White leading someone there. He’s investigating it now, so you need to be prepared."

Perhaps because the suspense was finally over, Lucy White’s reaction wasn’t the panic and confusion Melody Summers had anticipated.

The color drained slightly from her face, and she gave a small nod, her voice trembling as she replied, "I understand..."

Lucy White couldn’t quite describe how she felt. She had been drowning in despair ever since Joanne White took that call. Now that the scandal had finally broken, she felt a strange sense of relief.

Melody Summers gently patted Lucy White’s shoulder. "Don’t worry," she said comfortingly. "I asked Zane Simmons. He told me he wouldn’t take it out on you."

Lucy White froze for a moment at her words, then gave a small nod and a soft "Mm," though her expression showed little joy.

’Now that this is out in the open,’ Lucy White thought, ’the Simmonss will definitely throw me and Joanne out.’

Lucy White was an orphan, currently living with her paternal uncle’s family—Joanne White’s parents. With Joanne in trouble, her parents certainly wouldn’t let Lucy off the hook.

When Lucy had accompanied Joanne to The Nimbus Hotel, Mrs. White had sternly and repeatedly warned her that she absolutely had to take good care of Joanne.

Mrs. White had said that if anything happened to Joanne or the baby in her womb, Lucy would pay for it with her life.

’Now that this has happened,’ Lucy thought, ’what kind of life will be waiting for me when I get back to the White Family?’

At this thought, Lucy White sighed in despair.

Melody Summers saw Lucy’s worry and said, "Remember what I told you. If you run into any trouble at all, call me anytime."

’I did just buy a few extra apartments,’ Melody thought. ’If Lucy has nowhere to go, I can arrange a new place for her.’

Lucy White looked at Melody Summers, her eyes shining with gratitude. She gave a slight nod and answered, "Okay..."

When he received Ronan Rhodes’s message, Roman Rhodes was handling a tricky case.

By the time he finished up and rushed to The Nimbus Hotel, the banquet was winding down, and Melody and Winnie Summers had already left.

So Roman Rhodes charged straight to Mr. Rhodes’s suite. The moment he walked in, he demanded anxiously, "Dad, what on earth are you trying to do?"

Seeing his son’s attitude, Mr. Rhodes was so angry he slammed down the small curio he was holding.

His eyes went wide as he yelled at Roman, "What did I do?! You barge in here glaring at me! Do you think I’ve lived too long? Are you trying to give me a heart attack?"

Roman rubbed the bridge of his nose, exasperated. It was no wonder he was anxious. He’d been trying everything to court Winnie Summers, carving out time every day to talk with her and get closer.
