Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 309

Chapter 309: Chapter 309: Tragedy

Elaine Hughes grabbed Sylvia Lancaster by the ear. A sharp, intense pain shot through it, so excruciating it nearly brought tears to Sylvia’s eyes.

While hurriedly trying to pry Elaine’s hand away, she anxiously explained, "Mom! You’ve got it all wrong! I didn’t buy these for myself! Dad told me to get them for you!"

Sylvia then quickly rummaged through the bag, pulled out a brand-new bottle of serum, and held it up to Elaine. "Look, Mom! See? These... these are all brand new, still sealed! I really didn’t waste money primping myself!"

In reality, Joanne White had paid for all of it.

Robert Lancaster had previously told Sylvia to find a way to give Elaine a makeover. Sylvia had agreed on the surface, but she couldn’t bear to spend her own money on Elaine.

Luckily, Sylvia had some dirt on Joanne White. ’Waste not, want not,’ she thought, so she blackmailed Joanne for the items.

Elaine glanced skeptically at the plastic-sealed serum, then looked down to inspect the other items in the bag.

Seeing that the skincare products and hair dye were all brand new and unopened, Elaine’s expression finally softened.

She snorted coldly and jabbed Sylvia’s forehead hard with her index finger. "It’s good you know your place," she cursed. "You’re just a little bitch born from a homewrecker! A cuckoo in the nest, stealing the life that should have been my daughter’s. That cheap face of yours doesn’t deserve to use any of this! Got it?!"

A flash of hatred glinted in Sylvia’s eyes. She lowered her head and said softly, "Got it..."

Elaine snorted again at the sight. She pulled the box of hair dye from the bag, tossed it at Sylvia, and said impatiently, "Don’t just stand there gawking like an idiot. Hurry up and dye my hair. I want to take a nice bath and do a facial treatment afterward!"

After speaking, Elaine shot Sylvia another glare and added, "And be careful, you little bitch! If you get any of that dye on me, you can get the hell out!"

With that, Elaine ignored Sylvia completely, sat down, and undid the silk scarf that had been wrapped around her hair.

Elaine hadn’t washed her hair in days. Water was a precious resource now and couldn’t be wasted lightly. Her hair was slightly greasy, but thankfully, since it was winter, the smell wasn’t too strong.

Sylvia pressed her lips together, forcefully suppressing the rage in her heart as she began to mix the hair dye and apply it to Elaine’s hair.

The thought of Elaine being sent to Bernard Simmons’s bed tomorrow like a piece of merchandise, becoming the very "bitch" and "homewrecker" she herself spat out, made an uncontrollable excitement bubble up inside Sylvia.

She was so excited that her hands trembled, almost making her drop the bowl of dye.

’I can’t wait to see how Elaine will feel when that time comes...’

「That evening」

Winnie and Colin Summers looked haggard when they returned home.

Seeing their expressions, Grace Sutton hurried over to them. "What happened to you two? Why do you look so awful?"

Colin wearily wiped his face with a hand and said in a heavy voice, "Ugh, don’t ask... There was another death over in Building 7..."

He trailed off, the horrific scene he had witnessed making it difficult for him to continue.
