Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 437

Chapter 437: Chapter 437: A Murderous Joke

Melody Summers waved her hand, stopping Joanne from rambling on.

Seeing the puzzled look on Joanne’s face, Melody Summers said seriously, "I didn’t come here to talk about that..."

Melody Summers explained to Joanne that a temporary shelter had been set up on the 23rd floor.

Joanne shook her head and replied, "We don’t need to go to the 23rd floor. We have plenty of supplies here. We’ll be fine for another three months, no problem."

As the saying goes, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. The Sutton Family had been a premier tycoon family before their bankruptcy, after all. Although most of their fortune was lost in the volcano along with Elias Sutton’s death, Mr. and Mrs. Sutton had sold their villa, furniture, and jewelry, leaving them with some money on hand.

Thanks to Mr. Caelus’s guidance, they had stockpiled a great deal of food and coal in unit 1506—enough to last them for the next few months.

Melody Summers nodded, then asked, "So, are you going to send Ethan Sutton and his mother, Margaret Adler, over there?"

’Knowing Joanne,’ Melody thought, ’she’ll probably convince Sean Sutton to dump the mother and son on the 23rd floor just to get them out of the way and have some private time with him.’

Joanne chuckled softly, shaking her head. "Of course not. If I let them go to the 23rd floor, who would I have left to torment?"

That was only half the story. The other reason was that Joanne, being pregnant, had been making Margaret Adler fetch her tea and water, do the laundry, and cook for her. If Margaret left, there would be no one left to serve her!

So, Joanne had no intention of letting the Suttons know about the shelter on the 23rd floor.

Melody didn’t press the issue. After saying goodbye to Joanne, only three units on the 15th floor remained to be notified: 1502, 1503, and 1504.

She went to 1504 first and knocked on the door.

A clear female voice soon answered from within. "Who is it?"

Melody explained the reason for her visit through the door, and it was quickly opened.

The person who opened the door was a young woman in a pale yellow down jacket. She looked to be in her early twenties, with a pretty face, big round eyes, and slightly upturned lips that gave her a very cute and endearing appearance.

She looked at Melody and asked, "Hi, are you from the Emergency Response Office? Let me introduce myself. My name is Chloe Sharp. You can think of it like a flower bud, ready to bloom! What should I call you?"

As Chloe Sharp spoke, a bright smile blossomed on her face, making her look just like a flower ready to bloom.

She gave Melody a playful wink and said in a chipper voice, "We’ll be heading to the shelter in a bit. We’ll be counting on you to look out for us and maybe save us a good spot!"

Melody found Chloe’s bright, cheerful smile and lively voice infectious, and she smiled back. "I’m not with the Emergency Response Office," she replied. "I’m just helping to pass on the message."

Hearing this, the smile on Chloe’s face dimmed slightly. She nodded and said, "Oh, okay. Thanks for letting us know. My boyfriend and I will pack our things and head up to the 23rd floor right away."

Melody nodded. "Alright, I won’t keep you then."

With that, Melody turned to go to 1503 to notify the next resident.

Seeing this, Chloe suddenly called out, "Hey, miss, you don’t have to knock! There’s no one living in 1503 right now!"

Melody froze. She had checked the resident registry before leaving and remembered that 1503 was occupied. Why would Chloe say no one was living there?

’Could it be... Did something happen to the people in 1503?’

Her heart tightened. Refusing to take Chloe’s word for it, she knocked heavily on the door a few more times while turning to look at Chloe, about to ask her to explain.

But in the next second, the door to 1503 swung open.
