Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 353

Chapter 353: Chapter 353: Breaking the Lease

Seeing this, Forrest Archer patted her back and soothed her in a low voice, "Alright, honey, don’t be angry. It’s not worth it..."

His words only made Zella Kane even angrier.

With no other outlet for her fury, she grabbed Forrest Archer’s clothes and shouted, "How can I not be angry?! Did you not see how those people from 1806 and 1601 were cursing me out? Why are you just standing there acting like a coward? Why don’t you go out there and teach them a lesson? Are you even a man?!"

As she spoke, she pounded on Forrest Archer, her fists raining down on his body.

Forrest Archer kept his neck pulled in and remained silent, letting Zella Kane hit and kick him.

Seeing him like this, for some reason, only made Zella Kane even more furious.

She raised her hand and slapped Forrest Archer hard across the face, screaming, "Say something! All you know how to do is hide in your shell, isn’t it?!"

Mrs. Kane, who had been quietly coaxing the child off to the side, saw this and quickly grabbed Zella Kane, trying to reason with her. "Alright, alright, stop bullying Forrest Archer all the time!"

Mrs. Kane stopped Zella Kane’s hand as she went to slap Forrest Archer again. "By the way," she said, "your sister called me just now. She said Caleb Summers has already called his third brother and asked him to come over and back us up!"

Zella Kane froze, confused. "His third brother is going to back us up?"

Mrs. Kane nodded. "That’s right! Your brother-in-law is on good terms with his third brother. He’s a son of the Summers family too. As long as he’s willing to help, we won’t have to worry about the Summers family not looking out for us!"

What Zella Kane and Mrs. Kane didn’t expect was that the next morning, instead of Caleb Summers’s third brother, it was Tate from property management who showed up.

Zella Kane’s eyes widened as she stared at Tate in disbelief. "You’re telling us to move out right now? ...Are you kidding me?!"

Tate shook his head. "I’m not kidding, Ms. Kane. I’m very sorry, but the landlord has suddenly decided to break the lease and will no longer be renting out the apartment..."

"But you don’t need to worry. The landlord will provide a full refund of your rent and also pay the corresponding compensation as stipulated in the contract. That way, you won’t suffer any financial loss and can find a new place to live without worry."

As Tate spoke, he took out the rental contract and showed it to Zella Kane. "The landlord is willing to compensate you with two months’ rent, as per the contract. You can take a look. If there are no issues, please pack your things and move out as soon as possible."

Zella Kane swatted the contract away. She grabbed Tate’s sleeve, her face frantic as she demanded, "What good is this little bit of compensation money? On what grounds is the landlord suddenly refusing to rent to us? We signed a three-month contract in black and white. How can he just break it whenever he wants?"

"Just look outside! The snow is coming down so hard. Where are we, a family of helpless women and children, supposed to find a new place to live?! Aren’t you just forcing us to our deaths?"

Zella Kane had a point. The blizzard had raged nonstop all night, and the snow was now piled nearly two feet deep.

When Tate came over, property management was hastily organizing staff to shovel the snow, clearing a path from the entrance of each building.

The roads were even worse. The snow on the streets hadn’t been cleared, paralyzing traffic in some sections. Many commuters had no choice but to take time off work and stay home.

Zella Kane and her mother truly had no way of going out to find a new apartment right now.

Seeing Zella Kane’s anxious expression, Tate quickly tried to reassure her. "Ms. Kane, please don’t panic. Although the owner of 1604 is no longer renting, there are other apartments for rent in our complex. If you need, I can help you arrange for another unit."

Zella Kane shook her head, grinding her teeth. "It’s too cold outside, I don’t want to move! I don’t want another unit, I want to live right here. You can’t just break the contract like this. It’s illegal!"

"And where’s the landlord? Where is he right now? You tell him to get over here. I want to talk to him in person! I want to ask him why he’s being so cruel. Isn’t he deliberately trying to harm us helpless women and children?! How can he be so cold-blooded?!"
