Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 169

Chapter 169: Chapter 169

Seeing Elaine Hughes run out to chase after Silas Lancaster while Robert Lancaster was slumped on the sofa, gasping for breath and looking half-dead, Ethan Sutton felt helpless. He knew that pressing the issue further today would be pointless, so he could only take his two security guards and leave the Lancaster Villa for the time being.

Not only had this trip been a complete waste of time, but he’d also been infuriated by Melody Summers. The more Ethan Sutton thought about it, the more he felt it just wasn’t worth it.

Robert Lancaster and Elaine Hughes’s stance was already crystal clear—they weren’t going to give up the villa.

Not only that, but they had also disowned Sylvia Lancaster.

’This couple is so heartless,’ Ethan Sutton thought. ’They can abandon a daughter they raised for over twenty years just like that. Their feelings for their son probably don’t run that deep either.’

’It seems that even if I go and cause a scene at Simon Lancaster’s workplace, they still won’t hand over the villa.’

’If I really go cause trouble at Simon’s company, he’ll definitely lose his job, but the news that I was cuckolded will also get out.’

’Not only would I gain nothing, but it would end in mutual destruction. That’s not the outcome I want.’

The more Ethan Sutton thought about it, the more his anger became uncontrollable. After a moment’s consideration, he called Sylvia Lancaster directly.

Meanwhile, Sylvia Lancaster was in a guest room at the Hayes family villa, eating a fish maw and chicken soup that the nanny had brought her.

The fish maw was of the highest quality, costing tens of thousands for just a small amount.

It was a time-consuming stew. First, dried scallops and pumpkin had to be simmered into a golden broth. Then, large pieces of thick, deep-sea fish maw were added to the pot along with abalone and chicken, and everything was cooked until the broth became smooth and viscous.

Normally, not even Clara Hayes got to eat this stew. Lily Adler had specifically instructed the kitchen to prepare it for Sylvia Lancaster.

After spending the past few days with her, Sylvia Lancaster could see how generous Lily Adler was toward her. She slowly let down her guard and began to accept this woman who was her biological mother.

Although Lily Adler was only Hector Hayes’s mistress, parents like these were far better than the impoverished ones she had previously imagined for herself.

Just as Sylvia Lancaster finished her last spoonful of soup and was wiping her mouth with a wet napkin, her phone rang.

Sylvia Lancaster glanced at the screen and was slightly surprised—it was Ethan Sutton calling!

Ever since their falling-out in the hospital room, the two hadn’t seen each other. Even the divorce proceedings had been handled by lawyers.

Sylvia Lancaster had assumed they would go the rest of their lives without ever speaking again. She never expected Ethan Sutton to call her.

Sylvia Lancaster hesitated for a moment before answering, "Hello, Ethan?"

The next second, Ethan Sutton’s furious roar came through the phone, "Sylvia Lancaster, how dare you answer my call!"

Startled by his shouting, Sylvia Lancaster instinctively tried to calm him down. "Ethan, please don’t be angry..." she said softly.

But she had barely started speaking when Ethan Sutton cut her off.

Ethan Sutton continued to yell, "Sylvia Lancaster, I told you before! You’re going to spit back every single cent my family spent on you! So, where’s the money?"
