Reborn with a Space: Hoarding Food and Raising My Kid

Chapter 351: Chapter 325: Shameless Rianne Thorne

"You, you..."

Keaton Thorne stood by the conference table, flustered and unsure how to argue back, when the meeting room door was suddenly kicked open.

Robin Grant walked into the meeting room, followed by Cynthia Grant and Neal Wallace.

When Cynthia Grant saw the scene on the video feed, her heart leaped into her throat. She had heard Chelsea Todd’s hysterical screams from a distance, and now, seething with anger, she strode over and slapped Chelsea twice across the face.

SLAP! SLAP!

Chelsea Todd froze for a second. By the time she snapped out of it and tried to strike back in humiliated fury, a thick, thorny vine had already wrapped around her.

"So it was you, Chelsea Todd! What grudge does Flora Bloom have with you? Why did you have to set her up like this?!"

The vine, mirroring its master’s rage, tightened its grip. Sharp thorns dug into Chelsea Todd’s skin. Within moments, she convulsed a few times and passed out.

Before the Todd family could even react, Chelsea Todd had collapsed to the floor, and Cynthia Grant was already back standing behind Robin Grant.

Keaton Thorne wanted to punish Cynthia Grant, but he didn’t have the heart for it. On the video feed, his eldest daughter was lying on the ground, her face deathly pale, clutching her stomach and screaming in pain.

"Flora Bloom! Flora Bloom! Name your price! I’ll give you anything, just get my daughter out of there!"

"I don’t have any price," Flora Bloom sneered, her expression still impassive as she sauntered toward the stone gate. Her face screamed, ’I’m not saving her. What are you going to do about it?’ making Keaton Thorne so furious he wished he could charge in and kill her on the spot.

In the conference room, Titan Adler, Simon, and the others watched the chaos unfold in the maternity quarantine zone. Only a few women had managed to escape through the stone gate. Of the forty or fifty pregnant women inside, a dozen had already been scratched or bitten by zombies. It was impossible to let them out now.

"We can’t leave the stone gate open! If even one of those baby zombies gets out, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Simon proposed with a frown.

"No, absolutely not! Our people are still in there!"

Hector Grant suddenly slammed his hand on the table. "Cynthia Grant, isn’t she your friend? Tell her to save your Auntie Lyon! She can name any price she wants!" Hector Grant’s gaze flickered uncertainly toward Cynthia, then back to the video feed.

Cynthia Grant glanced at the video, where a terrified Cecilia Lyon was huddled in a corner, too scared to move. Then she looked at Hector Grant and let out a derisive laugh.

"Flora, see that pregnant woman in the corner on the left?"

Flora Bloom was leaning against a wall, an axe now in her hand. In the chaos, no one had noticed where it came from.

She heard Cynthia Grant’s voice. "Oh, I see her. What about it? You want me to save her?"

Cynthia Grant looked at her father, Hector Grant, and his hopeful expression. Her own gaze turned cold. "No. Don’t you dare let her out. It would be for the best if she died."

Flora Bloom heard the edge in Cynthia Grant’s voice and a smirk played on her lips. "Don’t worry. She’s not getting out."

Hearing their exchange, Hector Grant exploded with rage. "You ungrateful daughter! How could I have raised such a monster? I..."

"Family Head Grant," Flora’s voice cut in, "I heard I ended up in this quarantine zone because a ’kind soul’ reported me. I wonder if you’re familiar with this person? When I get out, I’ll be sure to thank them... properly."

"You!" Flora Bloom’s words hit a nerve. The Grant family was never known for its strength. He had disliked this woman, Flora Bloom, from the moment he saw her, which was why he had reported her. Sure enough, the woman was his bane!

Flora Bloom walked over to the corner, grabbed Cecilia Lyon by the arm, and dragged her deep into the room.

The zombies seemed terrified of Flora Bloom. As she strode forward, they turned and scattered, attacking the other pregnant women who were trying to run for the stone gate instead.

"Damn it, zombies are nearing the gate! Close it! Close the stone gate now!"

Simon suddenly bellowed. Titan Adler also yelled into the broadcast system, "Close the gate for now! We’ll figure out the rest later!"

"You can’t! There are still so many people inside!" Liam Todd shouted. Melissa Joyce was his wife’s only sister, and she was carrying the only heir to the Joyce family. If anything happened to her, his wife would kill him!

Seeing the stone gate about to close, Melissa Joyce made a mad dash for it, but just as she reached the entrance, a baby zombie pounced and knocked her to the ground.

Just as the baby zombie was about to sink its teeth into her pale neck, Flora Bloom appeared, swinging her axe and splitting its head in two.

"Th-thank you!" Melissa Joyce stared, dumbfounded, at Flora Bloom, who looked like some kind of demoness covered in zombie brains and blood. Before she could process what had happened, another baby zombie lunged at her.

"Are you stupid or something? Can’t you dodge on your own?!"

Flora Bloom roared with impatience. To her surprise, the pregnant woman she had just yelled at actually dropped and rolled, dodging another baby zombie’s lunge.

’Well, damn. She’s got some moves!’

But the next second, the woman’s face suddenly went pale and she clutched her stomach.

"It hurts... It hurts so much!"
