Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 208

Chapter 208: Chapter 208: Self-Defense

Early this morning, the Summers family received some good news—the repair work on the Summers Villa was complete!

The renovation team Ronan Rhodes had contacted was incredibly professional. Apparently, they used to work abroad, often building underground shelters for wealthy clients in the West. With their extensive experience in security, they not only repaired the villa but also helped improve many of its details.

The electric fence around the villa’s perimeter, which had been cut, was replaced, and an additional alarm system was installed.

All the security cameras inside and outside the villa that had been smashed were reinstalled as well. Those poor cameras had been through so much; this was already their third installation.

The French doors on the second-floor terrace had been replaced with brand-new, bank-grade bulletproof glass. The enthusiastic renovation team even helped sweep up every last shard of broken glass from inside.

The walls in the main hall, originally blackened by heavy smoke, had been repainted and were now pristine.

All the furniture destroyed in the fire had also been replaced. The designer had excellent taste; their aesthetic sense was on point. The new furnishings looked even better than what they had before the fire.

The burnt smell that had once permeated the main hall had faded to a whisper. Melody found some incense she had bought previously and lit a burner. A woody fragrance, with light notes of fruit and flowers, wafted through the living room, masking the last traces of the fire.

The family was extremely satisfied with the results. After thanking Sophie Thorne, Melody moved her family back from the Thorne residence.

After unpacking their bags, Grandma sank into the soft sofa and remarked, "This new sofa is even more comfortable than the old one. It must have cost a fortune, don’t you think?"

Melody Summers replied, "I have no idea. The Rhodes family covered all the renovation costs."

Melody had intended to settle the bill with the renovators, but the foreman told her the Rhodes family had already paid.

Melody immediately contacted Ronan Rhodes and Sophie Thorne to pay them back, but they adamantly refused to accept the money.

Melody could only make a mental note of the debt, resolving to repay the favor whenever she got the chance.

Just then, Colin Summers, who had been away for several days, returned home.

The moment he stepped inside, he strode into the living room and asked anxiously, "They said there was a terrorist attack in the community! Are you all okay?!"

Only then did he realize—the decor in the villa’s main hall was completely different!

Seeing this, a bewildered Colin Summers said, "What... What happened?! Why is all the furniture new? Where’s the old sofa?"

With a sense of resignation, Melody and the others had no choice but to recount the events of the past few days to Colin from beginning to end.

Colin slapped his thigh as he listened, his voice thick with regret and self-reproach. "If I’d known, I never would have left! I can’t believe something like this happened! Thank God you’re all safe..."

Then, as if remembering something, he frowned. "I know that guard who tipped them off. He was always the biggest troublemaker, always slacking off on his patrols. I never would have thought he was such a rotten person!"

Colin continued to vent his indignation. He deeply regretted leaving to help transport supplies. If anything had happened to his family, he didn’t know how he could have gone on living.

But Melody suddenly asked, "Uncle, what were you transporting this time?"

Hearing the question, Colin replied, "A shipment of cold-weather supplies. They were produced by factories here in the city, and we were responsible for delivering them to several neighboring cities."

The province places a high value on industrial development, and Anworth itself has several industrial parks.
