Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 188

Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Entering the Main House

Clara Hayes stumbled out of the police station, her mind still in a daze, unable to think clearly.

She had just learned from the police that her fiancé, Flynn Adler, was dead. Just like that!

The police didn’t give her the specific details of Flynn Adler’s death, only questioning her thoroughly about what she knew of The Crestview Hotel.

Clara Hayes didn’t know the first thing about The Crestview Hotel!

Faced with the police’s questioning, she could only confess what she knew.

She told the police that because Melody Summers and Nina Summers had offended her, she had asked Flynn Adler to film an explicit video of them. That was why Flynn Adler had kidnapped them and taken them to The Crestview Hotel. As for anything else, she truly knew nothing!

The police interrogated her repeatedly for a long time and even investigated her phone and other personal devices. Seeing that she truly knew nothing, they finally let her leave.

Clara Hayes walked out of the police station in a daze, wondering how things could have escalated to this point...

Last time, she had sent Hugh Hayes to teach Melody Summers a lesson, and Hugh had disappeared. This time, she had sent Flynn Adler to teach Melody Summers a lesson, and Flynn Adler had died...

’This Melody Summers is a jinx!’

A shiver ran down Clara Hayes’s spine at the thought...

’And... was what Melody Summers said about Sylvia Lancaster true?’

’Is Sylvia Lancaster really my father’s illegitimate daughter?’

’Did Sylvia Lancaster really sleep with Flynn Adler? And was she pregnant with his child?’

The more Clara Hayes thought about it, the more panicked she became. Sylvia Lancaster was still staying at her house for the next couple of days; she had to go home and confront her to get the truth!

******

When Clara Hayes got home, she was about to head upstairs to Sylvia Lancaster’s guest room to confront her. To her surprise, as she stepped through the door, she found the main hall ablaze with light.

Her father, Hector Hayes, was sitting on the sofa in the hall. Flanking him on either side were Sylvia Lancaster and Lily Adler. The scene Clara walked in on was one of them chatting joyfully, looking for all the world like a happy family of three.

Seeing Clara Hayes frozen in the doorway, Lily Adler was the first to speak, a gentle smile on her face. "The young lady is back."

Hector Hayes finally noticed Clara standing in the doorway. He smiled and gestured toward Sylvia Lancaster. "Claire, you’re back just in time. Come here. Let me introduce you to your long-lost sister, Sylvia."

Hector Hayes was usually a stern man who rarely smiled, even at home. Yet now, his face was wreathed in smiles, a clear sign of his inner delight.

Clara Hayes’s eyes flew wide in shock. "What?!" she blurted out.

Clara Hayes found it impossible to believe—what Melody Summers had said was actually true. Sylvia Lancaster was really her father’s illegitimate daughter!

’How could this be?!’

Hector Hayes didn’t notice the ugly look on Clara’s face. He continued smiling to himself, saying, "In a few days, I’ll have her name officially changed to Sylvia Hayes. From now on, she’ll be the second young lady of this family!"

Hector Hayes was lost in the joy of this revelation, unable to contain himself.

He had only learned today that when Lily Adler left without a word all those years ago, it wasn’t because she was abandoning him. It was because she was carrying his child, and she had overcome countless hardships to secretly give birth.

What man could resist such a tale of devoted sacrifice?

Upon learning the truth, Hector Hayes was filled with pity for Lily Adler. And with Sylvia Lancaster having perfectly inherited her mother’s gentle, obedient, and considerate nature, it had only taken her half a day to talk him into a state of absolute delight.
