Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 509

Chapter 509: Chapter 509: Retribution

Sylvia Lancaster mustered her courage and rang the doorbell of the Summers Villa.

Sylvia had assumed Melody Summers wouldn’t open the door easily, so she had already prepared to do a lot of talking, determined to lure Melody out no matter what.

But to her surprise, the villa’s main gate opened the moment she rang the bell.

The person who opened the gate was none other than Melody Summers. The villa’s courtyard was unlit, and half of Melody’s face was cloaked in shadow. Her eyes were dark and profound, revealing a hint of coldness that sent an involuntary shiver down Sylvia Lancaster’s spine, making her momentarily forget what she had planned to say.

While Sylvia was still dazed, Melody spoke first. "Do you need something from me?"

Sylvia snapped back to her senses and launched into her prepared speech, feigning extreme urgency. "Melody, Mom is dying! She wants to see you one last time before she goes. You have to come see her!"

Melody: "..."

’Such a filial daughter, this Sylvia... cursing Elaine Hughes to death right off the bat...’ Melody’s feelings were complicated for a moment.

Seeing Melody remain silent, Sylvia grew even more anxious. Her voice trembling on the verge of tears, she said, "Melody, I know you’ve never liked us, but you’re still Mom’s biological daughter! In the face of life and death, what grudge is so important that you can’t let it go?"

"Mom hasn’t eaten or had anything to drink for days. She’s been unconscious, and the doctor says she only has a few days left... While she’s been unconscious, she keeps calling out your name. She just wants to see you one last time. Please, grant her this one wish. Can you really bear to see our mom pass away with regrets...?"

"That’s enough. Stop talking," Melody interrupted with a frown, cutting off Sylvia’s rambling. She nodded. "I’ll go with you. Lead the way."

Seeing Melody agree so readily, Sylvia couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, a trace of scorn surfaced in her heart. ’So what if Melody was reborn? She’s still the same old bleeding heart, still cares about relatives she has no real feelings for.’

The two walked in silence through the night. Suddenly, Sylvia spoke up. "Melody... why did you buy so many apartments in The Metropolis Residences?"

Her tone was probing, and as she spoke, she watched Melody’s face intently from the corner of her eye, not wanting to miss the slightest change in her expression.

’I have to find out if Melody was really reborn.’

Melody’s expression was calm. She turned her head to look directly at Sylvia and said slowly, "With the experience from my last life, of course I had to prepare for a rainy day in this one. Aren’t you also trying every way you can to move into The Metropolis Residences?"

Melody’s words struck Sylvia like a bolt of lightning, and she froze on the spot—

She never expected Melody to admit it so openly!

Melody really was reborn!

Seeing Sylvia’s dumbstruck expression, Melody let out a cold laugh.

She turned to face Sylvia, her eyes fixed on her, and said with a smirk, "Why are you playing dumb, Sylvia? Weren’t you reborn a long time ago? So, this new world after your rebirth... are you satisfied with it?"

Every word from Melody was like another thunderclap in Sylvia’s mind. All she could feel was a deafening ringing in her ears!

Her eyes went wide as she stared blankly at Melody, as if looking at something terrifying.

Looking at Sylvia’s pale face, Melody took two steps forward and said in a low voice, "This life, just as you wished, I didn’t return to the Lancaster family. Are you happy? Did you get what you wanted?"
