Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 184

Chapter 184: Chapter 184: A Clean Sweep

Nina Summers was stunned for a moment when she heard this. Then her eyes widened, and an irrepressible joy surged through her.

She excitedly shuffled forward on her knees and grabbed Melody Summers’s leg. "Really?" she asked, her voice filled with excitement. "The police are coming to save us? I don’t have to die? I can get out of here safely?"

Melody Summers quickly bent down to help Nina Summers to her feet. Before she could reply, Joelle Lawson, who was standing nearby, cried out in alarm, "You called the police!? How could you call the police!"

Alarm bells went off in Joelle Lawson’s head. ’I finally found a place where all my needs are met. I won’t let the police destroy it!’

Joelle Lawson turned to run. She had to tell Yates the news so they could prepare!

When she had been entertaining clients at the Oceanus Hotel, the police had investigated then, too. It was only because her bosses got a tip-off that they were moved to this new hotel.

Joelle Lawson was desperate to get out and warn them, but Melody Summers was one step ahead. Before Joelle could even make it out the door, Melody took two quick steps and blocked her way.

As Joelle Lawson stared in shock, Melody Summers grabbed her arm and slammed her to the ground.

Joelle Lawson was young and far too slender. Pinned by Melody Summers, she couldn’t move a muscle.

Seeing she couldn’t break free, Joelle Lawson opened her mouth to scream. But Melody Summers quickly clamped her other hand firmly over her mouth, muffling the cry.

Melody Summers turned to the stunned Nina Summers. "Don’t just stand there! She’s trying to go snitch! Quick, get the bedsheet and wrap her up in it!"

Nina Summers scrambled onto the bed, ripped off the sheet in a flash, and lunged at the struggling Joelle Lawson on the floor.

Both Melody Summers and Nina Summers were a head taller than Joelle Lawson. With her skinny arms and legs, Joelle was like a small child in their hands. They quickly had her wrapped up as tight as a burrito.

Afraid Joelle Lawson might break free, Nina Summers then pulled off the duvet cover and wrapped her in another solid layer, tying the corners into dead knots. Now there was no way Joelle could escape.

Seeing Joelle Lawson wriggling on the floor like a large cocoon, Nina Summers took off her own knit sweater and began stuffing it into Joelle’s mouth until it was completely full. Now, no matter how much Joelle screamed, she couldn’t make a sound.

After all that, Nina Summers collapsed onto the floor, drained of strength.

She and Melody Summers exchanged a look. Melody quietly opened the door and peeked both ways. Thankfully, the commotion hadn’t attracted any of the thugs. ’Otherwise... with Nina Summers and Joelle Lawson here,’ Melody thought, ’it would be pretty difficult to deal with them without revealing my space.’

Nina Summers had recovered from the shock. Still remembering how Joelle Lawson had taken care of her over the past few days, she began to plead hesitantly, "Amy, the police are here to save us. How could you try to warn those people?"

"Those kidnappers don’t see women as human beings... You think it’s a good thing now, having plenty to eat and drink. But have you ever thought about what happens when they turn on you? They could kill you and bury you somewhere at any moment. No one would even know you were dead."

With the sweater stuffed in her mouth, Joelle Lawson couldn’t speak. She could only glare fiercely at Nina Summers.

Oblivious to the disgust in Joelle Lawson’s eyes, Nina Summers continued to persuade her. "Staying here is not a good thing. You’ll only sink deeper and deeper into the abyss. How old are you? Are you even an adult? You’re so young. If you stay here, your whole life will be ruined."

Joelle Lawson kept glaring at Nina Summers, her eyes practically shooting fire.

’This pampered princess who’s never known a day of hardship,’ she thought, ’what right does she have to say that to me!’

’Nina Summers and Melody Summers can go home after leaving The Crestview Hotel. But what about me? I was sold by my own father! Where would I even go if I left?’

Seeing Nina Summers was about to say more, Joelle Lawson mentally cursed her for being a hypocrite, rolled her eyes, and looked away.

Joelle Lawson prayed silently. She hoped the police were incompetent. She hoped Yates and the others would move her to a new location. She hoped their boss was well-connected enough to smooth this whole thing over.

Then, a commotion from outside shattered her illusions.

"Don’t move!"

"Everyone on the ground! Hands up!"
