Apocalypse Queen: My Space, My Rules Chapter 113: Opportunity in Crisis

"Nonsense!" Viola's nostrils flared, almost smoking with anger. "How could Harvey come to steal money? He came with good intentions to get back together with you! Mariella, it's one thing if you don't appreciate it, but you didn't care about your past relationship at all. You almost beat him to death. How cruel can a woman be?!"

Mariella looked like she had just heard the biggest joke in the world and couldn't help laughing. "Good intentions? Thanks, but I'll pass! It's not like anyone wants it! Just because he wants to get back together, am I supposed to be grateful? Do you think your family is royalty or something?"

Viola choked on her words. After a long pause, she said awkwardly, "Don't you want to get back together with Harvey?"

Harvey was still willing to take Mariella back. Shouldn't she feel grateful?

Before Mariella could argue back, Connor jumped out.

"You ungrateful girl! You were so cruel to your own fiancé—no sense of humanity at all! Your brother has been kidnapped and your sister was taken away too! They're asking for a huge ransom. Shouldn't you help out? Harvey came to ask for your help, yet you beat him into this state."

He was so angry his hands and his whole body were trembling.

Mariella finally understood. "Oh, so Harvey didn't come to get back together. He came to make me the sucker!"

They had lost the yacht. The Shepherds couldn't repay their debts and Roxanna had been taken to pay them off. So, Connor and Harvey turned their attention to her.

Did Harvey think that by saying a few nice things to trick her, he could make her give up her supplies to pay their debts and get Roxanna back?

Who gave them that confidence?

Maybe she used to be too foolish, which made them think they could control her however they wanted.

"You—" Connor was speechless.

He looked at Mariella's face. She was smiling, but her eyes were cold. She felt like a stranger to him. He couldn't help but shiver.

Fannie wiped her tears and sobbed. "Mariella, please stop being angry with Mr. Graham. He still has feelings for you. If you both just take a step back... "

"I think Mr. Graham isn't doing too well!" Mariella interrupted her. She blinked and pointed. "He's twitching. Do you want to find a doctor for him?"

Everyone's attention turned to Harvey. Sure enough, his body had started spasming.

"Oh no, he was bitten by a dog. Could he have rabies?" Mariella scared them on purpose. "I heard that once someone gets rabies, even God can't save them."

Viola immediately stopped arguing with Mariella. She quickly ordered Terrence to direct the bodyguards to carry Harvey away and find a doctor to treat him and give him the vaccine.

Mariella sneered. Nowadays, doctors were hard to find. Medicine and vaccines were even harder to get.

With injuries this serious, even if Harvey didn't die, he would suffer badly.

Well, she could consider selling him medicine and vaccines. She would take the chance to charge him a huge amount of money.

She had already taken everything from the Shepherds. The Grahams were next.

Mariella returned to the villa and went into the storage room alone.

She took all the gemstones—over a thousand pounds—that Denton had delivered and stored them into her space.

As all the gemstones was absorbed, her storage space upgraded again.

The static zone expanded by about 24,700 cubic feet, bringing the total to around 134,000 cubic feet. The villa increased by about 830 square feet, upgraded from four floors to five, with its height raised again, for a total of approximately 6,460 square feet. The garden expanded by about 270 square feet, reaching a total of around 1,880 square feet.

As the garden grew, the pond got wider, and the water plants inside became thicker.

The space timer, after deducting used time, had accumulated a total of 112 hours and 34 minutes. She could now stay inside the space for four to five consecutive days.

Before the disaster, this high-quality gemstones would have been worth at least a billion. Now, she bought it for only ten million in cash. It was a great deal.

Mariella felt even more satisfied with Denton's honesty. He was a reliable businessman and never tried to cheat with inferior goods.

He was someone worth trusting and working with long-term.

She also put the threshing machine, the corn harvester, the manual, the spare parts, and the engine oil into her space.

With these farming machines, harvesting crops would no longer be a problem.

As she left the storage room, she subconsciously touched her left wrist. The invisible emerald bracelet was gone.

She stopped immediately and checked her wrist repeatedly, but she couldn't feel the bracelet anymore.

She had almost forgotten about the bracelet since it became invisible. Did it fall off while she was beating up someone?

Her heart started racing. She quickly checked the storage space.

Everything was normal. She could take out and move the supplies whenever she wanted. She could go in and out of the space freely.

But the bracelet on her wrist had disappeared entirely.

She stood there for a long time. Slowly, she understood. Once the bracelet upgraded to a certain level, it would become completely invisible and then disappear entirely.

This was probably a form of self-protection by the storage space. By removing its physical form, it eliminated any weakness or vulnerability.
