Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 501

Chapter 501: Chapter 501: Delivering Herself to the Door

Melody Summers said this out of respect for Manager Grant.

The Summers Family had been on good terms with Manager Grant for the past two years, and since Gavin Grant was his relative, Melody didn’t want to make things ugly.

As long as Gavin arranged for the "disaster victims" in 1706 to be moved elsewhere, she was willing to let the matter go.

But unexpectedly, the man standing before her didn’t see it that way.

Hearing Melody’s words, Gavin Grant frowned in displeasure. He snorted, his voice low. "Listen, little miss, I’ll be straight with you. A big shot from the Reconstruction Department specifically requested this apartment!"

For a moment, Melody didn’t quite process what he’d said. She asked subconsciously, "...A big shot from the Reconstruction Department...?"

’Someone from the Reconstruction Department... specifically requisitioned her apartment?’

’How ridiculous could they be?’

’Why hadn’t her mother or uncle mentioned anything about this?’

Seeing Melody’s stunned expression, Gavin assumed she was scared stiff. ’Heh, I knew it,’ he thought. ’These young girls are the easiest to fool. A little intimidation is all it takes to make them behave.’

Pleased with himself, Gavin said, "That’s right. You’ve heard of the Reconstruction Department, haven’t you? They’re in charge of all the disaster relief and reconstruction work in the city. And someone from their department specifically requested your apartment!"

"You guys don’t live there anyway, so just let them have it. Otherwise, if you offend them, I’m afraid life is going to get very difficult for your family!"

Gavin glanced at the still-dazed Melody and added meaningfully, "Little miss, since you’re a friend of Joanne’s, I’ll give you a kind reminder... some organizations over by the back mountain will start hiring soon. If you’re lucky enough to be hired, even for a menial janitorial job, the pay and benefits are incredible."

"But if you offend someone from the Reconstruction Department... I’m afraid your entire family can kiss those job opportunities goodbye... You need to think carefully about what’s more important, little miss!"

Everyone, even a three-year-old, knew how rare job opportunities were these days. Losing them just to spite someone from the Reconstruction Department would be a terrible trade-off... Gavin was confident Melody wouldn’t be that stupid.

Melody: "..."

After a moment of silence, Melody frowned and asked, "...Do you know who it is that specifically requested my apartment?"

’Melody had seen the list of all the members of the Reconstruction Department. She was genuinely curious—who on earth could be so outrageous?’

’What was the difference between this and bullying the common people!’

’And they were trying to bully *her*?’

Gavin thought Melody had finally seen reason. He smiled, gratified, and said in a teasing tone, "All I know is his name is Winston Sheffield... What, little miss? Are you asking so you can go ’thank’ him in person?"

At this, Joanne White’s eyebrow twitched. She had a bad feeling about what Gavin was about to say and quickly tugged on his sleeve, signaling him to shut up and not say another word.

But Gavin ignored Joanne’s signal. A certain possibility occurred to him, and he chuckled suggestively. "Too bad... I hear this Mr. Sheffield is already married. This apartment is for his father-in-law and mother-in-law. So don’t get any funny ideas, little girl! Powerful men aren’t short on women these days, haha!"

Joanne White: "..."

As Gavin’s mocking laughter filled the air, Joanne White despaired and rolled her eyes internally.

’It’s time to find a new fish,’ she thought.

’This Gavin Grant seems to be missing a screw. I’m not about to get dragged down by this idiot!’

Hearing Gavin’s words, Melody fell even deeper into silence—
