Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 136

Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Confrontation

Holly Rhodes was stunned. She immediately shook her head in denial. "How is that possible! They... they grew up together! What on earth are you talking about?!"

Besides, as far as Holly knew, Simon Lancaster’s sister was already married, and she was pregnant now. ’How could Simon have improper feelings for his own sister?’

But Sophie Thorne said seriously, "You can’t hide the look in your eyes when you love someone. It shows in the little details of your daily interactions. If you get the chance, you should try to observe them."

Seeing Holly’s incredulous expression, Sophie sighed and continued, "Holly, in a relationship or a marriage, it’s easy for a person with impure intentions to completely devour someone else. You must not give your heart to someone who isn’t worthy of it."

Melody Summers nodded in agreement. "Whether you believe us is up to you, Ms. Rhodes. I just want to remind you that the Lancasters are all extremely selfish, especially Simon Lancaster. You may help him achieve his ambitions today, but he might not treat you well tomorrow. Given his personality, if he really manages to make a comeback... I’m afraid the first people he’ll want to deal with are you and your father."

Holly just stared at them blankly, not knowing how to respond.

Her words struck Holly like a bolt from the blue—

’Simon Lancaster and his own sister?’

’How is that possible?!’

’But seeing how serious Sophie and Melody looked, it didn’t seem like they were lying...’

Holly’s thoughts were a tangled mess, and she didn’t know what to say. She could only nod hastily and stand up to take her leave.

「 」

After Holly left, Melody was about to leave as well, but Sophie Thorne pulled her back and ordered a lot of tea snacks.

Sophie told Melody that this tea restaurant in the Oceanus Hotel was very famous. It was normally only open to internal VIPs, and before the apocalypse, the waiting list for a reservation was two months long. Since they were here today, it would be a pity for Melody not to try it.

Hearing this, Melody realized she was a bit hungry herself. It was afternoon tea time, so she nodded.

Before long, plates of exquisite tea snacks were brought to their table. Melody couldn’t wait to take a bite and was amazed by the flavor.

Even during the apocalypse, when the quality of ingredients was worse than usual, these snacks were still incredibly delicious.

Melody sighed to herself. ’As expected of a tea restaurant in a five-star hotel. The rich really live comfortably...’

After they finished their snacks, Melody got up and went to the restroom.

As she was returning to the restaurant from the restroom, she passed by the elevators, and a door happened to open.

Melody subconsciously glanced inside the elevator, then she froze—

Inside stood a pot-bellied man and a slender young woman. The man’s hand was resting on the woman’s shoulder, while she was looking up at him, smiling and saying something.

Melody didn’t recognize the man, but the slender young woman looked a lot like Adam Lawson and Noelle Quillan’s daughter—Joelle Lawson!

While Melody was still dazed, the elevator doors had already closed and started to descend.

Melody thought for a moment and decided to go after them for a closer look.

The other elevators were all going up. Melody figured that since they were on the third floor, taking the stairs would be faster than waiting for another elevator.

But as soon as she turned, she bumped right into someone walking toward her!

Melody quickly apologized, "I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. Are you okay?"

When she got a clear look at the person’s face, Melody froze.

It was Clara Hayes!

Clara was rubbing her forehead where Melody had bumped it, looking up and ready to lash out.

But when she saw that the person who had run into her was Melody, her annoyed expression was replaced by surprise—

’Clara knew that the prices at her family’s hotel were extremely high after the apocalypse. Why would a pauper like Melody be here?’

Clara glared at Melody, displeased. "Melody Summers, what are you doing here? The prices are very high. Where did you get the money?"

Melody gave Clara a complicated look. ’It’s a shame there are cameras everywhere around here...’

She ignored Clara and walked straight toward the stairwell.
