Chapter 4 Scumbag Must Die Chapter 4 Scumbag Must Die 0 0 D +5 Free Coins Caroline took a deep breath and let out two small tears . " You said I should give myself a few days to calm down ... I've just been missing my parents a lot lately ." Jonathan tried to step closer , but Raven suddenly stood up , showing his teeth and standing right in front of him . Jonathan stumbled back . " Caroline , when did you get such a big dog ? " Caroline secretly gave Raven a thumbs - up in her heart . Good boy ! He can even tell I don't like Jonathan . " I just adopt him . I live alone , so having him here makes me feel safer . " She gently patted the soft fur on Raven's neck . " If you don't like being alone , you could always come live with me ." The moment Jonathan said that , Caroline wanted to spit on him . Ugh , seriously ? Last time , when the apocalypse hit , Jonathan came , to her with a bunch of supplies , saying he wanted to survive together . But that night , he showed his true colors . He only came because he wanted to sleep with her . Caroline was a bit naive , but she didn't just agree right away . She wanted to take things slowly . That night , Jonathan didn't want to wait . He even tried to force himself on her . In a panic , Caroline grabbed something and smashed it on his head . Jonathan went completely crazy . He cursed sed at her , called her a worthless woman , and accused her of pretending to be pure . He said if she didn't give in , she'd end up with some random guy . Caroline was furious . She tried to kick him out . But as he left , Jonathan pushed her to the ground , took all the supplies he brought , and even stole that ring ! All because Reese said she liked antique stuff ! Later , just before Caroline almost died , Jonathan leaned close and whispered that Reese was way better than her . Caroline clenched her fists and bit her lip so hard that she wouldn't punch him right now . Jonathan , this is my parents ' house . I only feel safe here , " she said . Jonathan wanted to say something , but Caroline raised her voice . " Aren't we supposed to get engaged ? Can you give me back the shares and funds my parents left me ? Lately , I keep dreaming they're blaming me . That's why I've been upset and blocked you . I just don't want to see you right now . " Just like she expected , Jonathan's expression changed when she said that . " Caroline , don't think too much . If your parents knew about the engagement , they'd be happy . The shares and funds will be ours when we marry . I'd never betray you . Anyway, I have things to do . Take me off your block list , okay ? We're getting engaged in a few months . " Caroline sneered inside . Yeah , this engagement isn't happening . Jonathan left just like that Caroline watched him walk away with a cold smile . Scumbag , just wait . After taking care of Raven , she checked the time . It was already two in the afternoon , Her stomach started growling She was getting hungry . She grabbed her phone , ready to order a feast ! Braised short ribs , pierogi , clam chowder , morcilla and bean stew , bangers and mash , and braised oxtail . She ordered five sets 1/3 P Chapter 4 Scumbag Must Die of everything she loved . C All afternoon , the doorbell kept ringing . Each time , Raven would sit up , ears alert , watching the door like a guard . Caroline put all the deliveries in her storage space , leaving only one set of braised short ribs to eat . Raven sat next to her , quiet but staring at the ribs in her plate wth his big eyes . She had no choice but to pick out the biggest rib and hold it out . " Want this ? " Raven tilted his head , looking adorably dumb , like he was thinking , Of course ! He bit that big rib and swallowed it in one bite . Wow , this dog could really eat ! +5 Free Coins While waiting for the next delivery , Caroline sat inside with the air conditioner on . She pulled out a small notebook and started planning what to do next If she remembered correctly , the apocalypse would happen like this : first acid rain , then big floods . After that , the temperature would drop suddenly , down to -140 ° F . At that time , a huge number of people died . After the heavy snowstorms and freezing cold , the weather would suddenly switch to extreme heat , up to 122 ° F ! By then , the city was basically paralyzed . There was no electricity , no water , and people were barely surviving in the scorching heat . On top of that , occasional earthquakes kept shaking everyone , making people feel hopeless ! The strongest earthquake was terrifying . Some tall buildings collapsed , the ground cracked open , and many people fell into deep cracks . These extreme weather changes went on for about two years . It felt like Earth was punishing people for cutting down forests and destroying the environment . And it wasn't over . In fact , it was just getting started . After all the disasters , lots of animals and insects started mutating . Some became super strong , some grew huge , and some multiplied really fast . Soon , the world was facing insect swarms . With all the natural disasters , the human population had already dropped sharply . Then came the insect swarms and attacks from mutated animals . People had an even harder time surviving . These creatures could get into any place they wanted . That's when the real apocalypse began . Some animals even became super smart , like " kings , leading armies of mutated animals , Thinking about everything that had happened , Caroline felt even more determined to live her second life well ! She remembered the seeds she had planted in the black soil in her storage space last night and went to check on them . What she saw shocked her ! Where she had planted the seeds , there was now a plush pillow ! 2/3 p p . Chapter 4 Scumbag Must Die 0 Ο 0 +5 Free Coins It looked like a flower . Caroline pulled it out using her mind and squeezed it in her hands . It was definitely a plush pillow . But how did it end up in her storage space ? She was confused , but also had some guesses . Could this black soil grow all kinds of strange things ? Thinking that , Caroline pulled a weed from a flowerpot and threw it in . Meanwhile , after leaving Caroline's house , Jonathan called Reese , still fuming . " What's wrong , Jonathan ? " Reese asked , noticing the irritation in his voice . She tried to sound gentle and caring . " Do you think that stupid Caroline has figured something out ? She actually mentioned her parents ' shares and funds today . She used to do whatever I said , but now she's blocked me ! " Reese was putting on makeup , getting ready to go out to dinner with Jonathan . She was so surprised that her eyebrow pencil slipped , messing up her perfect brow . She wiped it away , a little annoyed , but still spoke softly , " Jonathan , you're overthinking . Caroline has always been kind of dumb . I asked her the other day who would handle the money after you got married , and she said she'd let you manage her half of the funds and shares . She didn't suspect a thing ." In Reese's eyes , Caroline was just a naive fool . She and Jonathan had been secretly seeing each other for years , and Caroline never noticed a thing . Not only that , Reese had been brainwashing her , making her believe men should be in charge of the money . And since Caroline was an orphan and engaged to the Lowlands , Reese said it was the luckiest thing that could happen to her . Because of all that manipulation , Caroline was completely loyal to Jonathan . Even when she worked summer jobs , she gave him all her pay and always bought him gifts whenever she saw something nice . Basically , Caroline had always been this pitiful girl , doing whatever Jonathan wanted . She had no idea that the Lowlands ' kindness was fake . If it weren't for her half shares and funds , they would have thrown her out long ago . The Lowlands , who always seemed so successful , actually had some debt problems . They desperately needed Caroline's shares and funds . That's why they were rushing the engagement , so that they could get all her money and shares . But Caroline had no idea about any of this . Jonathan responded , " Yeah , no one changes that fast . I'm probably overthinking . Are you ready ? I'll be at your place soon . Don't go home tonight , okay ? Hehehe ! " " Jonathan , you're so annoying ! " Reese replied playfully .
