Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 296

Chapter 296: Chapter 296

Yesterday, after Melody Summers sent Ivan Warren and Maisie Lynch packing, she came home to find a seafood feast already prepared.

Plump and succulent crabs, tender and juicy lobster, delicate abalone, silky smooth steamed eggs with sea urchin...

So Melody Summers cast all her worries aside and enjoyed a magnificent seafood feast with her family.

After the feast, she clutched her round, full stomach and entered her space. Cradling Albus, she strolled along the beach to help with digestion, all the while considering taking the yacht out for some sea fishing next time to catch some live seafood.

Thus, the whole affair with Ivan Warren and Maisie Lynch was completely and utterly forgotten...

Melody Summers looked at Officer Tate and thought, ’Ivan Warren, that animal. He actually dared to call the police and turn the tables on me? Later, I’ll take the recording and report him on the Rhodes official website!’

To her surprise, however, Officer Tate’s visit today had nothing to do with Ivan Warren.

Officer Tate looked at Melody Summers, his expression complicated. "We received a report today," he said. "The people in 1506 downstairs filed a police report saying you broke in and stole their property... I’m here to investigate and get a handle on the situation."

Melody Summers: "..."

Melody Summers was suddenly wide awake.

She and Officer Tate stared blankly at each other. Pointing to herself in disbelief, she asked, "Me? Burglary? ...Do I even have a reason to?!"

Melody thought, ’Even if you combined all the supplies of everyone in this entire complex, it probably wouldn’t equal what I have. And I’m supposed to be stealing from others? Am I insane?’

Officer Tate looked conflicted as well. When he received the report, his first reaction had been to find it absurd.

Ever since the cataclysm, the Summers family had quietly donated a great deal of supplies to the emergency management office. In his and Officer Sean Pierce’s own dorm room, there was still half a box of compressed biscuits and beef jerky Melody had brought over, along with two extra-thick down comforters.

Since they’d been stationed here, the Summers Family had taken great care of them, and he knew they were people of impeccable character.

Officer Tate refused to believe that Melody Summers would break into someone’s home to steal supplies.

But he was a police officer, and he had to treat every case with fairness and impartiality.

Before Officer Tate could speak, a voice cried out from behind him: "That’s her! Officer, she’s the one who broke into my home yesterday and stole from us!"

Melody Summers frowned. Gently pushing past Officer Tate, she looked behind him and saw that the speaker was Ethan Sutton’s mother.

Standing beside Mrs. Sutton was Ethan Sutton’s father, currently glaring at her with a sinister expression.

Melody Summers: ...

Melody Summers: Got it.

’How could I forget?’ Melody thought. ’1506... isn’t that where Ethan Sutton’s family lives!’

It was just that so many new neighbors had moved in lately that Melody hadn’t kept track.

Now Melody Summers understood everything.

The Sutton family had called the police on purpose, just to make trouble for her.

As for the reason... perhaps it was because their own son had been castrated, and now they were lashing out, taking their bitterness out on everyone as a way of getting back at the world.

Or perhaps they considered her one of the Lancasters, and because their son’s castration was connected to Sylvia Lancaster, they were practicing guilt by association.

In any case, now that she knew who her opponents were, Melody Summers was no longer afraid.

She first pulled the door shut behind her, not wanting these two pests to disturb her family.

Then she turned to Officer Tate and said, "I didn’t steal anything, Officer. This couple and I have had run-ins before. They’re definitely filing a false report to slander me."
