Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 432

Chapter 432: Chapter 432: The Truth

Jade Rowan was stunned for a moment, then she shook her head repeatedly and replied, "No, no, he really wouldn’t! Cameron has changed, Grace. You have to believe him!"

As if anxious to prove something, or perhaps afraid Grace Sutton would misunderstand, Jade Rowan grabbed her hand and said urgently, "Grace, Cameron has been working hard all these years to save money and pay off his debts, to atone for everything he did before! He made a solemn oath to me, he promised he would absolutely never gamble again!"

"Besides, these are difficult times. It’s already so hard just to survive, so how could he possibly go gambling? He definitely wouldn’t do that!"

Seeing the urgent look on Jade Rowan’s face, Grace Sutton felt a pang of pity. She patted Jade Rowan’s hand and said soothingly, "Alright, alright, I understand. Don’t get so worked up."

Only after hearing Grace Sutton say this did Jade Rowan let out a sigh of relief.

Looking at Jade Rowan like this, Grace Sutton sighed and said, her heart aching for her, "Oh, Jade, it hasn’t been easy for you all these years... Really, if Cameron has started gambling again, you don’t have to keep suffering along with him..."

Grace Sutton didn’t have the heart to say the rest. What she wanted to say was that instead of endlessly paying off Cameron Summers’s gambling debts with him, living in constant fear while hiding from creditors, Jade Rowan would be better off divorcing him! If Jade Rowan divorced him and left with her child, the Summers family would still take care of her and her son.

Cameron Summers had been gambling for so many years. Once you get caught up in vices like gambling and drugs, it’s incredibly hard to change. Sticking with a gambler to pay off their debts was like jumping into a bottomless pit—there was no way out!

Melody Summers had been listening silently off to the side without saying a word, but she felt the same way as Grace Sutton.

Moreover, Melody Summers really couldn’t understand why her aunt, knowing full well her uncle was addicted to gambling and that even his family had cut ties with him, still steadfastly remained by his side, insisting on suffering with him to pay off his gambling debts.

’Is this what they call love?’

Melody Summers couldn’t comprehend it at all.

Jade Rowan understood the meaning behind Grace Sutton’s words. She froze for a moment, then gave an awkward laugh and replied, "Grace, I’m not like you and Winnie. You’re both capable women, but I’m not. I... I really don’t want to get a job..."

In Jade Rowan’s eyes, she much preferred the life of a full-time housewife. As long as she didn’t have to work, nothing else mattered to her. If she divorced, neither her in-laws nor her own family would likely let her be a freeloader.

Under the gazes of Melody Summers and Grace Sutton, Jade Rowan wrung her hands awkwardly and continued, "Even though Cameron has been gambling all these years, he’s always brought money home to cover our expenses. As long as Cameron can support the family, I don’t really care if he gambles or not..."

Hearing Jade Rowan’s words, Melody Summers was momentarily speechless.

Grace Sutton, however, furrowed her brow upon hearing what Jade Rowan said.

Just as she was about to try and persuade Jade Rowan to take the dangers of gambling seriously, the sound of a lock turning suddenly came from the front door.

As the door opened, Cameron Summers and his son, Clark Summers, returned.

Clark Summers’s voice called out from the living room, "Mom! Come look! Dad and I brought back a lot of coal today!"

Hearing the excitement in her son’s voice, Jade Rowan quickly stood up and went out. She walked into the living room, looked at the father and son, and said to Cameron, "You’re finally back! Grace and Melody are here. They’ve been waiting for you for a while!"

Just then, Melody Summers and Grace Sutton also came out. Seeing the box of coal Clark was holding, Grace Sutton’s brow furrowed.

She couldn’t hold back any longer and asked Cameron directly, "Cameron, where did you get this box of coal... Tell me the truth, did you... did you go gambling again?!"
