Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 305

Chapter 305: Chapter 305: Every Man for Himself

The moment Officer Sean Pierce finished speaking, Mrs. Sutton’s head snapped up.

’Expelled from the community?’

’Absolutely not!’

Waving her hands frantically, she said anxiously, "Leave the community? No, no, Officer, we can’t leave! That punishment is too severe!"

Mr. Sutton quickly added, "Officer, we know we were wrong! Since this is our first offense, please, we beg you to be lenient!"

Mr. and Mrs. Sutton had lost all of their former upper-class arrogance. Melody Summers watched their flustered state with a cool gaze. ’It seems,’ she thought, ’that even people who once held high positions can’t stay stubborn when facing a conviction and sentencing. They can only bow their heads and beg for mercy.’

Unmoved by Mr. and Mrs. Sutton’s pleas, Officer Pierce said in a deep voice, "Begging me is useless. I’m not the victim of your misdeeds. As I just said, your only way out now is to obtain the victim’s forgiveness!"

His words snapped Mr. and Mrs. Sutton back to their senses. They turned to look at Melody Summers, who was standing to the side.

They couldn’t leave The Metropolis Residences, no matter what! All their previous reluctance vanished. They began to swallow their pride and apologize to Melody Summers.

Mrs. Sutton bit her lip and spoke to Melody Summers in a fawning tone, "We really know we were wrong this time. We promise we’ll never do anything like this again. Please, just forgive us!"

Mr. Sutton, who had always held his head high with pride, now lowered it. He said to Melody Summers with some embarrassment, "Rest assured, we will compensate you for the fright you’ve endured... You can ask for whatever compensation you want. As long as we can provide it, we’ll do our best to satisfy you."

Watching Mr. and Mrs. Sutton bow their heads to Melody Summers, Ivan Warren viciously pinched the soft flesh on Maisie Lynch’s body, signaling for her to go forward and apologize.

But this time, Maisie Lynch uncharacteristically ignored Ivan Warren. Her face was ashen as she kept her head down, remaining silent.

Ivan Warren was about to lose his mind. If the police weren’t there, he would have slapped Maisie Lynch hard across the face! ’That bitch! Is this really the time to be throwing a tantrum?!’

Seeing how the situation was unfolding, Melody Summers knew that Officer Pierce was helping her.

In the end, all Mr. and Mrs. Sutton had done was hire Maisie Lynch to put on a show in an attempt to frame Melody Summers, but they hadn’t succeeded.

Although their methods were despicable, they hadn’t actually harmed Melody Summers’ interests, nor had they endangered the lives or property of anyone else. It wasn’t enough to warrant expulsion from the community.

Officer Pierce was deliberately making the situation sound severe to force them to bow to Melody Summers and let her set the terms.

’Sure enough, Mr. and Mrs. Sutton’s apology is far more sincere now than it was before!’

After savoring the subservient expressions on Mr. and Mrs. Sutton’s faces, Melody Summers spoke slowly under their anxious gazes. "When you were plotting to frame me, you said you wanted me to pay six figures in compensation, right?"

"In that case, you can compensate me with seven figures... I want five million!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Sutton nearly coughed up blood!

Five million!

’Isn’t this highway robbery?!’

Before they could speak, they heard Melody Summers continue, "However, I don’t want the money. I want you to convert it into supplies of an equivalent value and donate them to the community’s property management center. They can then distribute the supplies to the residents according to their needs!"

Melody Summers didn’t actually want the five million. First of all, to the current her, that amount was a drop in the bucket. A mere five million? She could get that just by mining, farming, and harvesting honeycombs in her space.

Secondly, Melody Summers felt that the four people in front of her were rotten to the core. If one of them couldn’t keep their mouth shut and spread the word that resident 1606 had received a huge five-million-dollar compensation, she might attract unwanted attention from opportunistic people, which would be a hassle.
