Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 240

Chapter 240: Chapter 240: From Heaven to Hell

Simon Lancaster quickly processed Sylvia Lancaster’s hospital discharge. When he left his job, Rhodes had given him a severance package out of humanitarian concern. He bit the bullet and used that money to pay for Sylvia’s hospital bills.

After her discharge, Sylvia Lancaster followed Simon Lancaster back to the Lancaster Villa.

Standing before the villa, Sylvia Lancaster surveyed the yard and noticed the bluestone pavers were covered in a thick layer of dust.

She couldn’t help but feel the Lancaster Family was much more desolate now than in her previous life. Back then, at least Melody Summers would sweep the yard every day, keeping it spotless.

It seemed the Lancaster Family’s situation in this life was even more dire than in the last.

’But that’s alright,’ Sylvia Lancaster thought. ’After all, I’ll be getting the space soon.’

Sylvia Lancaster planned to start selling the stream water from the space as soon as she got it.

The stream’s water was magical, highly effective at relieving minor aches and pains. Many wealthy people would pay a high price for it. Sylvia Lancaster was sure that with her help, the Lancaster Family would definitely return to its former glory!

At this thought, Sylvia Lancaster joyfully pushed open the door, ready to greet this world’s Elaine Hughes and Robert Lancaster.

But unexpectedly, the moment Sylvia Lancaster stepped inside, she was met with a resounding slap across the face.

SLAP—! The sharp sound echoed, exceptionally loud in the spacious villa’s hall.

Sylvia Lancaster touched her stinging cheek, her eyes wide with disbelief as she stared at Elaine Hughes. "Mom, why did you hit me?" she asked, her voice trembling. "...It’s me, Sylvia!"

Sylvia Lancaster was completely stunned. In her previous life, Elaine Hughes had doted on her, treating her with such delicate care it was as if she feared Sylvia might break at a touch or melt in her mouth. She’d never so much as laid a finger on her.

’And now she just slapped me?!’

But Elaine Hughes just glared fiercely at Sylvia, a complete departure from the adoring mother of her previous life. "Who told you to come here!" she screamed at Sylvia. "Get the hell out right now!"

While Sylvia was still in shock, Robert Lancaster stepped forward, also pointing a finger at her as he berated her. "Weren’t you taken in by that hotel-owning Hayes Family? What are you doing back at our home now?!"

Some time ago, Robert Lancaster had heard from a business associate that Sylvia was, surprisingly, the Hayes Family’s long-lost daughter.

When he first heard the news, Robert had felt a pang of regret for kicking Sylvia out.

After all, the Hayes Family had made a fortune after the cataclysm, and their business was booming. Sylvia had become a Hayes heiress. If she could lend the Lancasters a hand, their lives would be much easier.

Robert had tried to contact Sylvia recently. He wanted her, out of gratitude for having raised her, to help the family out. At the very least, she could arrange a job for Silas Lancaster at the Hayes’ hotel, which would bring in another stream of income.

But to his surprise, Sylvia wouldn’t even take his calls!

Robert was furious. He felt like he had raised that daughter for nothing!

’Not his own flesh and blood, so she could never truly be loyal!’

It wasn’t until a couple of days ago, when he heard the Hayes Family had collapsed, that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The moment the Hayes Family fell, Sylvia’s call came. Robert knew she was looking for his help.

Of course, he didn’t pick up. He just hung up on her.

He never thought she’d have the audacity to show her face at the Lancaster house again!

At that thought, Robert pointed at Sylvia’s nose and spat, "You jinx, you walking disaster, you plague! You brought ruin upon the Lancaster Family, then ran off to the Hayes Family. Now that you’ve brought them down too, you want to come back and keep ruining us?! I’m telling you, in your dreams! Get the hell out!"

Hearing this, Sylvia’s eyes widened in disbelief. ’Robert was actually calling her a jinx?!’
