Chapter 566
Worse still was the image burned into Trina’s mind.
Sydney and Andrew were sitting there, eating that incredible food, while she was stuck with instant noodles that gave he constipation.
The more Trina thought about it, the angrier she gat.
How dare they eat without her! And they didn’t even save her a bite!
Her chest was burning.
“Trina, don’t be upset,” Ryker said quickly, hovering at her side. “I’ll talk to them. I’ll make this right for you. Just eat something first.”
He looked ready to march into battle.
That softened Trina’s expression a little. She took the cup of noodles with a huff.
“Fine.”
Meanwhile, at the far north corner of the rooftop where no one else could hear them, Marvin listened to Sydney and Andre recount everything.
“They really said there’s a league out there?” he asked slowly.
“Yes.” They nodded in perfect sync.
“Mr. Ortega, she’s not a bad person,” Sydney added quickly. “Back on the fourth floor, a zombie came at us from behind. Sh the one who saved us.”
“And we smashed her truck,” Andrew admitted. “She didn’t even do anything to us.”
Marvin’s expression tightened.

Marvin stared at them, at a loss for words
“We would’ve saved you a bite, but she made us eat if there We didn’t want it to go to waste you to me and, right

Marvin rubbed his temple “No You did line ”
Relief flooded their faces
They had always trusted Marvin He was steady, fair, and patient. That was why they lied alivest
Back near the center of the roof, Hayley leaned back after thushing her meat she acted–pep another code and let out a

satisfied breath.
Just then, footsteps approached.
“You went too far!”
Hayley lazily lifted her head. A tall teenage boy stood in front of her, around five feet ten, his jaw set tight.
“Who are you?” she asked.
“I’m Trina’s best friend. You owe her an apology,” he said arrogantly.
Hayley blinked once. She almost laughed.
