Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 461

Chapter 461: Chapter 461: Written Off

At this, Joanne White glanced sheepishly at Melody Summers and said in a low voice, "...I wanted to torture them for a while longer, too. I just didn’t expect their family to be so impulsive..."

Joanne White truly hadn’t expected things to turn out this way.

Joanne White had once seen a photograph in a hidden compartment of Sean Sutton’s wallet. The photo had yellowed with age, and the people in it were faintly recognizable as a young Sean Sutton and Margaret Adler.

In the photo, the two of them gazed quietly at each other, their eyes sincere and bright, as if they would only have each other for their entire lives. On the back was a line of text: "You will always be the most precious pearl in my heart."

Who would have thought that this very couple, in a moment of impulse, would turn on each other with lethal force? They showed no mercy, killing each other without a moment’s hesitation...

At this thought, Joanne was not only shocked but also felt a pang of guilt. She had promised Melody Summers she would slowly torture the Suttons and make their lives a living hell, but she never imagined they would all be wiped out so quickly!

Joanne peeked at Melody Summers from the corner of her eye, worried about whether she would be satisfied with this outcome.

Melody Summers listened to Joanne’s account in silence, her heart a whirlwind of emotions. She, too, had never expected the Suttons to die by slaughtering one another—to fall at the hands of their own.

’After all, the Suttons had been remarkably united when they dealt with me in my past life.’

Thinking of her past life, Melody Summers sighed softly. She realized those events already felt so distant. By the spring of the third year of the cataclysm, aside from the Lancasters, everyone who had framed and bullied her in her past life was dead.

Melody came back to her senses and said to Joanne, "If they’re dead, they’re dead. The police will probably come by to investigate after a while. I remember there’s a security camera in the Suttons’ living room, so prepare your story ahead of time. Don’t get dragged into it. As for everything else... starting today, the score between us is settled."

Hearing Melody say this, Joanne was stunned for a moment. Then, she asked cautiously, "...Really? ...You won’t hold the rumors and cyberbullying against me anymore? And what about me stealing your boyfriend? You’re letting that go, too?"

Joanne had witnessed what Melody was capable of and knew she had connections in Anworth’s high society. She was terrified that Melody would retaliate against her.

Melody just shook her head dismissively. "It’s been so long; let’s not dredge up the past. Besides, for taking a scumbag like Austin Hale off my hands, I ought to thank you... Anyway, he’s probably dead by now. There’s no point in even mentioning him."

Ever since Flynn Adler and Kenneth Adler died, the police had been hunting for Austin Hale, but they had never managed to find him.

’We’re in the middle of a cataclysm. The environment is harsh, food is scarce, and terrorists are taking advantage of the chaos to loot and pillage. With Austin on the run for so long,’ Melody thought, ’he’s probably dead in some godforsaken corner by now!’

"Austin?" Hearing Melody’s remark, Joanne was taken aback. She quickly said, "Austin isn’t dead! He’s been with Mr. Caelus this whole time, working for him. He even made Mr. Caelus his godfather!"

Hearing Joanne’s words, Melody’s eyes flew wide in shock.

’Austin Hale? Mr. Caelus?’

’How in the world did those two get mixed up with each other?!’

’And... what is the deal with Austin? Why is he so obsessed with collecting godfathers?!’

’First he was Kenneth Adler’s godson, and now he’s Mr. Caelus’s...’

’Is he that desperate for a father figure?’

Melody’s brow furrowed. She lowered her voice and asked Joanne, "Why didn’t you say this before?! What exactly do you know about what’s going on with Mr. Caelus? Don’t hide anything. Tell me everything."
