Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 177

Chapter 177: Chapter 177

Nina Walsh clutched her stomach where Blondie had kicked her. She looked at him fearfully and asked in a small voice, "I-I did everything you said... Can I go now?"

Hearing this, Blondie couldn’t help but let out a mocking smile. ’This Nina Walsh is really as stupid as she is nasty,’ he thought, ’to actually believe I’d let her go. What a load of crap.’

’Go? Dream on!’

’After all, no woman who entered The Crestview Hotel has ever walked out in one piece.’

Blondie sneered inwardly, but on the surface, he decided to keep Nina Walsh calm for now. After all, he wasn’t sure if Melody Summers would take the bait, and Nina might still be useful.

So he gave a cold snort and replied, "Whether or not I let you go... that depends on if your good sister shows up. You can leave when she does."

Seeing the disappointment in Nina Walsh’s eyes, Blondie waved a dismissive hand. "Alright, you just stay here and behave. Don’t go running around. And I’m telling you, there’s a leopard kept outside. If you dare to run out, you’d better watch out, or it’ll tear you to shreds and swallow you whole!"

As if to confirm Blondie’s words, the low growl of a large cat could be faintly heard from outside, making Nina Walsh jump in fright.

After Blondie left, Nina, afraid the leopard would break in and eat her, endured the pain in her stomach and rushed over to shut the door securely.

Her legs then gave out, and she slid down with her back against the door, sitting alone in the small room in a daze.

This small room was an improvement over the one Nina had been in earlier. At least it had two beds and a cabinet.

Her legs still weak, she crawled to the side of the bed and struggled to climb onto it. The pain in her stomach forced her to curl up. She lay on her side in a fetal position. As she recalled the events of the past year, tears began to fall without her realizing.

During the heatwave last year, her birth mother, Mindy Walsh, had passed away unexpectedly.

Caleb Summers said it was from a pre-existing condition triggered by the high temperatures. He sent Mindy Walsh to the crematorium and had her hastily cremated and interred.

After her mother’s death, before Nina Walsh could even recover from the devastating grief, her father, Caleb Summers, had already done two things with lightning speed.

The first was to take Nina Walsh to have her name changed from Nina Walsh to Nina Summers.

Ignoring Nina’s protests and displeasure, Caleb Summers told her very sternly that from then on, she would be called Nina Summers, and the matter was not up for discussion.

The second was to bring home a woman named Zoe Kane.

Caleb Summers told Nina Summers that from now on, Zoe Kane would be her new mother.

The news of Zoe Kane’s arrival was like a bolt from the blue, catching Nina Summers completely off guard. She was so shocked and heartbroken she could hardly breathe.

Mindy Walsh had only just passed away. Nina couldn’t understand how her father could bring another woman home before her mother was even cold in her grave!

How could her mother rest in peace?!

What’s more, this woman, Zoe Kane, was only seven years older than Nina! Nina didn’t even know how she was supposed to address her.

Drowning in the pain of her mother’s death, Nina had a frantic fight with Caleb Summers. She relentlessly questioned him, asking why he could move into someone else’s arms so quickly. Was all his previous love for her mother just an act?

Nina tearfully told Caleb Summers that she would never accept Zoe Kane.

Nina even threatened Caleb that if he dared to marry Zoe Kane, she would disown him as her father.

But Caleb Summers, who had always doted on Nina and given her anything she wanted, ignored her objections this time and resolutely went and got a marriage license with Zoe Kane.

Faced with Nina’s tantrums, Caleb was patient at first and tried to reason with her.

He told Nina that he would always love her as his daughter and that he was marrying Zoe Kane so Zoe could take Mindy Walsh’s place in taking good care of her.

Nina immediately retorted that she didn’t need to be taken care of. She told Caleb to divorce Zoe Kane at once and make her move out.

Seeing Nina constantly acting out, Caleb gradually lost his patience with her.

Finally, Caleb told Nina with a stern expression that she had to accept Zoe Kane.

He even told her that Zoe Kane would absolutely not be leaving, that she was now the mistress of the house, and that Nina had to respect Zoe just as she had respected Mindy Walsh.

Nina was utterly shocked to hear this. She even ran away from home twice in protest, but Caleb didn’t care at all.

It was so hot outside, and Nina had little money on her. Each time she ran away, she had to slink back home in disgrace.

Having lost the affection of her parents, Nina went from being the little Princess of the family to the person with the least say in the house.

For many nights, listening to the loving laughter of Caleb and Zoe outside her door, Nina could only sit in her room and cry alone.
