Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 241

Chapter 241: Chapter 241: The Foreclosed Apartment

As this realization settled in, Sylvia Lancaster’s sorrow slowly began to subside.

Sylvia Lancaster knew she couldn’t just sit idly by. She had to do something to win back the hearts of the Lancaster family.

Once she had made up her mind, she headed to the kitchen.

She rummaged around the kitchen and found that there wasn’t much food left in the house.

Apparently, to save on electricity, both the refrigerator and the freezer had been unplugged. Sylvia Lancaster opened them and, just as she expected, found them completely empty.

The cupboards held only some rice and seasonings, along with a few small potatoes, a couple of sweet potatoes, and some onions.

There were, however, two large jugs of oil, but they were close to their expiration date.

Sylvia Lancaster thought for a moment, then pulled out her phone to check her account balance.

Her account still had some of the allowance money Lily Adler had given her.

Sylvia Lancaster checked her transaction history with Lily Adler. Lily had been very generous, frequently transferring her money—hundreds of thousands at a time. All told, the transfers added up to nearly ten million.

But Sylvia Lancaster’s account didn’t hold anywhere near that much now.

Looking through her statements, she discovered a large charge from an online luxury boutique made a few days prior. She must have bought a set of jewelry.

As for the jewelry, it had been seized by the police, along with the Hayes Family’s villa.

Staring at the balance of a few hundred thousand in her account, Sylvia Lancaster sighed. ’With the exorbitant price of supplies after the cataclysm, this money won’t buy much.’

She logged into an online shopping platform she had used frequently in her past life. After carefully picking and choosing, she placed an order for some of the more cost-effective ingredients available, planning to cook a meal for the Lancasters.

Sylvia Lancaster bought some pasta, dehydrated vegetables, chicken, and eggs.

When she saw the succulent-looking snow pears on the promotional page, she gritted her teeth and bought five of them as well. After clicking "pay," she settled in to wait for the delivery.

Staring at the order confirmation page, Sylvia Lancaster felt a wave of self-pity.

’When in my past life did I ever have to cook to curry favor with my family?’ she thought. ’That’s what Melody Summers did!’

In her past life, Melody Summers had taken on all the cooking and chores to fit in with the Lancaster Family and win their favor.

Now the tables had turned, and it was her turn to do it. She felt incredibly sorry for herself...

While Sylvia Lancaster was zoning out in the kitchen, Silas Lancaster silently approached.

Sylvia Lancaster’s heart leaped when she saw him, and she quickly called out, "Silas!"

But to her surprise, Silas Lancaster—who had always adored his older sister—just stared at her coldly. "Don’t call me that," he said with disgust. "You don’t have the right... You make me sick!"

The color drained from Sylvia Lancaster’s face. "Silas... How can you talk to me like that...?"

Sylvia Lancaster stared at Silas in disbelief. ’They had always been so close!’

’He used to say she was the best sister in the world!’

’Why had things become like this?!’

Seeing Sylvia’s eyes well up with tears of indignation, Silas remained completely unmoved.

He just couldn’t understand it. ’Why would his own sister hook up with their older brother?!’

’Right now, he just found them both utterly repulsive!’

’Sylvia Lancaster wasn’t the pure, perfect, flawless sister he’d imagined. She was just a slut who seduced her own brother!’

Under Sylvia Lancaster’s heartbroken gaze, Silas snorted, turned, and went upstairs.

Leaving Sylvia Lancaster standing there, stunned...

It was unclear how Simon Lancaster managed to persuade Robert Lancaster and Elaine Hughes, but in the end, they finally relented, agreeing to let Sylvia Lancaster remain with the family.

Elaine Hughes sat in the living room, her face a cold mask. She looked at Sylvia Lancaster, who stood before her anxiously. "You can stay," she said, "but from now on, all the household chores—the laundry, the cooking—that’s all your job. And you’d better do it well!"

Though bitterness filled her heart, Sylvia Lancaster put on an obedient expression and nodded. "Okay, Mom, Dad. You don’t have to worry."

With that, Sylvia Lancaster hurried to the kitchen and brought out the meal she had prepared.

She addressed everyone in the living room in a placating tone, "Mom, Dad, Big Brother, Silas, this is what I just cooked. Please, try it and see if you like it."

Seeing the four dishes and a soup that Sylvia Lancaster had painstakingly prepared, the expressions on Robert Lancaster, Elaine Hughes, and Silas Lancaster’s faces finally softened a little.
