"I'm framing you?" Yuliana mocked, "Ruth Welmert, do you think I don't know what you're trying to achieve? You're some lowlife, and that won't ever change! Weren't you trying to climb up the social ladder by using Zorion?"
Ruth's hands clenched tightly.
There was a faint voice shouting in her heart.
That voice was telling Ruth.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
She was no longer a servant in Quartley Palace, nor was she Yuliana's servant.
She could stop being insulted by Yuliana.
But in the end, Ruth held it in.
That's because she saw how distressed Zorion was.
He wanted to help and stand on both Yuliana and Ruth's sides, but he didn't know how to.
Ruth didn't want Zorion to be in a difficult situation.
Ignoring Yuliana's slander, she whispered to Zorion, "Mr. Zorion, take care of yourself in the future." After that, Ruth turned and left.
Seeing that Ruth was about to leave, Zorion tried to catch up with her, but Yuliana stopped him.
Yuliana growled at Zorion, "What are you trying to do?"
Zorion stammered, "Ruth... Ruth left. I have to apologize to her."
He figured since Yuliana scolded Ruth, he needed to apologize to her.
After hearing Zorion's words, Yuliana got madder.
She raised her voice, "Apologize? Why? Zorion, are you trying to embarrass me? Why do you need to apologize to a lowly servant? Do you know who you are? You are the elder brother of the president of Nashaland, the young master of the Quartley family. Apologize to a lowly servant? Do you want everyone to laugh at you?"
Zorion retorted in a low voice, "She's not a lowly servant. She's my good friend."
"Zorion!" Yuliana's voice almost broke through Zorion's eardrum. "Try repeating that again!"
Yuliana had put so much effort into acting in front of Zorion, but he still thought that Ruth was kind.
Yuliana was about to explode with anger.
Zorion was, by right, a fool. He should believe whatever she said.
Why was it that Zorion didn't believe her when Ruth was involved? And even after she got so many people to act with her!
Zorion just couldn't believe that Ruth was a lewd, wicked woman!
Zorion was shocked by Yuliana's loudness, and he did not dare to say a word.
Yuliana's shout not only frightened Zorion but also attracted the attention of countless passers-by.
Yuliana realized that and immediately dragged Zorion away.
As she walked, she lowered her voice and said, "Zorion, I told you many times that Ruth is not a good person. She met you today on purpose. She wanted to pretend to run into you and use you."
Zorion didn't fully understand.
He only knew one fact.
His wife felt that Ruth was an evil person.
Yuliana said that Ruth was bad.
What's more, everyone else agreed.
But Zorion still didn't think so.
He had always felt that Ruth was a good person.
But why did everyone think Ruth was a bad girl?
Zorion was confused for a moment whether it was him or everyone else misunderstanding the situation.
Hogan sent the information on the border city to Tremaine.
Tremaine's expression changed completely after seeing it.
"The mushroom cloud plan will lead to nuclear pollution!" There was a flash of disbelief in Tremaine's eyes.
He'd never thought that the mushroom cloud plan would cause nuclear pollution problems.
In Tremaine's view, nuclear pollution generally happened when there was a nuclear power plant leakage.
But with technology, the technique used in a nuclear power plant was quite advanced. There would usually be no leakage problem.
However, he did not expect that the mushroom cloud plan would lead to nuclear leakage. No one had ever told him about it.
Hogan said, "Mr. Tremaine, it is only a slight nuclear leakage. There is no research evidence yet on how this slight leak will have a huge impact on the human body."
Tremaine sneered. "Still no research evidence? It'll be too late once we have evidence in our hands."
Moreover, a slight nuclear leakage would definitely be disregarded by the scientific research personnel. They would still prioritize carrying out the plan.
"Disband all the people in the border city and send them to other cities. Arrange houses and reimburse them," Tremaine ordered.
The border was by the coast, and the research base of the mushroom cloud project was to set up by the coast.
Hogan said awkwardly, "Mr. Tremaine, the people of the border city are not willing to leave at all."
Tremaine frowned. "They don't want to leave?"
Hogan nodded. "Yes, no matter how much reimbursement we give, they are not willing to leave."
The border city was a place that was completely isolated from the world.
Almost nobody comes or leave.
People there had a strong sense of belonging. They would live and die in the town without ever leaving to another city.
That was why when the mushroom cloud research base was set up on the border, the government had tried to dismiss the townsfolk, but no one was willing to leave.
No matter how many benefits the government promised, no one agreed.
"So, the border wants independence now," Tremaine said in a deep voice.
He had heard of how they wanted independence, but he'd never really ordered an investigation or knew why. That was because he had just
been elected president and had n
multiple tasks to handle and
oversee. When he was the president, the border city had already stopped their protest asking for
S
independence.
But now, he understood why.
The reason why the border city wanted to be independent was to separate from Nashaland.
Nashaland won't set up its research base at the border town if they were independent.
"Yes," Hogan şaid. "Your Excellency,
although we are rich, our land is
limited. Only the area near the border city coast has more land. Therefore, only the border city is suitable to build the research-base for the Mushroom Cloud Plan. Other places are not suitable at all."
Tremaine frowned more tightly.
It was a dead knot.
The citizens of the border city would rather die than leave.
As for their research base, other than the border city, it was impossible to set it up in another area. After thinking for a long time, Tremaine suddenly said, "Where is Lessie now? I need to see her."
Hogan immediately said, "Mr. Tremaine, it is more important for you to look after your body now."
Tremaine snorted coldly. "Rest assured, Mr. Welmert. I'm not as old as you. I will not die after some minor injuries."
Hogan was speechless.
What else could he say after Tremaine said so?
Tremaine got out of bed.
He suddenly gave Hogan a deep look. "Mr. Welmert, why did you hide this from me? The fact that the mushroom cloud plan had the possibility of
causing a nuclear leakage."
Hogan let out a bitter laugh.
He said, "Mr. Tremaine, I'm not
hiding it. After all, it's just a slight nuclear radiation leak. Our
technicians have already thought of a way to deal with it, so it won't affect us now."
