Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 505

Chapter 505: Chapter 505: Betrayed and Abandoned

Gavin Grant howled as he was kicked, repeatedly begging for mercy. "AH! I was wrong! I was wrong! AH!"

Manager Grant was truly furious this time. He had personally recommended Gavin Grant for the security team at The Metropolis Residences, but he never imagined Gavin would do something like this. His reputation was going to be completely ruined!

At the thought of his reputation being tarnished so late in his career, Manager Grant put even more force into his kicks.

Seeing this, Officer Tristan Tanner quickly pulled him back, trying to placate him. "Alright, alright, Grant. Calm down. Don’t get physical..."

’At least don’t beat someone up right in front of a police officer!’

With a tearful expression, Gavin Grant pleaded with Melody Summers and Winnie Summers, "Miss Summers, Director Summers, I truly know I was wrong. I just wasn’t thinking straight at the time, that’s why I didn’t dare refuse Section Chief Sheffield. I’m begging you both, please be merciful and let me off just this once!"

Melody Summers waved her hand, annoyed. "Enough, enough. Stop begging me. Just deal with it as you see fit..."

Melody Summers wasn’t particularly concerned about what happened to Gavin Grant. Seeing Manager Grant unable to restrain himself from kicking Gavin a few more times, she found the scene rather uninteresting and simply turned and left.

As she walked out of the emergency response office, Melody Summers immediately spotted Joanne White. Joanne was hiding by the doorway, frowning as she watched the commotion inside.

Melody Summers: "..."

Seeing Melody Summers walk out, Joanne White looked a little embarrassed and fiddled with her ponytail. She hesitated for a moment, then said in a slightly fawning tone, "...This has nothing to do with me... To be honest, I’m not that close with that Gavin Grant guy..."

’Even if we were close before, we won’t be anymore.’

That Gavin Grant was just too stupid. Joanne White decided to break up with him as soon as possible. Otherwise, she was afraid he’d do something foolish again and drag her down with him.

Melody Summers saw through Joanne White’s intentions and asked, a bit puzzled, "What? You’re going to break up with Gavin Grant? Do you have anywhere to live if you do?"

Joanne White looked awkward at the question. She fell silent for a moment before saying with a hint of resignation, "...There are plenty of men out there. I’ll just find another one... Anyway, that’s just how I am. The only way I get a roof over my head is by sleeping with a man..."

She had barely finished speaking when a silver object flashed through the air. Melody Summers had tossed a key into her hand.

As Joanne White stared in astonishment, Melody Summers said, "That’s the key to 4-1706. You can stay there for now, but it’s not for free. Once you have money, you have to pay me back for the rent!"

Joanne White stared blankly at Melody Summers, as if she couldn’t believe she was being helped.

After a long moment, Joanne White lowered her gaze. A tear fell without warning, splashing onto her hand. In a choked voice, she said, "Thank you..."

Melody Summers waved her hand dismissively, getting to her real purpose. "Did you get a good look at the man and woman who were squatting in my apartment? You’ve been wandering around outside for the past few days anyway. Help me keep an eye out. If they show up at The Metropolis Residences again, make sure to give me a heads-up!"

Her intuition told her that Sylvia Lancaster would be back soon.

Joanne White nodded. "No problem! You can count on me!"

Despite the Sheffield Family pulling every string and calling in every favor they could for the past two days, and even with Mr. Sheffield personally visiting his old comrades-in-arms, it was all to no avail.
