Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 527

Chapter 527: Chapter 527: Returning It To You

Caleb stared at Nina, dumbfounded. He couldn’t seem to believe that his daughter, who had always been so obedient and sensible, would do something like this.

Fighting through the pain in his forehead, he stood up, pointed at Nina, and snapped, "You! How could you lay a hand on Miss Kane?! She’s your elder, for goodness’ sake!"

Nina sharply slapped away Caleb’s pointing hand and frowned. "Elder? What elder? Does a mistress like her even deserve that title?"

She then turned to Caleb and said coldly, "And another thing, don’t think I don’t know you’ve spent a fortune on Zoe Kane over the past few years! Every cent you spent on her was part of my mother’s marital assets, and you’re going to give every last bit of it back to me!"

At Nina’s words, Caleb’s mind went numb. A dull ache surged through him like a tidal wave, as if millions of tiny insects were gnawing at his brain tissue.

He gritted his teeth, forcing out the words, "You! This is... this is outrageous..."

But before he could finish, Nina sneered and said grimly, "If you don’t agree, then there’s nothing left to discuss. I’m not giving you the ring, so you can just forget about it!"

"You!" Caleb pointed a trembling finger at Nina. Whether from the headache or the rage she had provoked, his head swam. He grabbed the back of the sofa for support and staggered back onto the seat.

Caleb didn’t want to hand over the family fortune to Nina. ’If I give it all to my daughter,’ he thought, ’then everything I’ve worked for my entire life will have been for nothing!’

But from Nina’s defiant stance, he knew that if he didn’t agree to transfer ownership of the house today, she would never hand over the Pink Diamond Ring.

Caleb was terrified of Zara Walsh. After yesterday’s ordeal, he understood with chilling clarity that his life meant nothing to the Walsh family.

’If I can’t get the Pink Diamond Ring by tonight, Zara Walsh will really make good on her threat...’

At that thought, Caleb shot a venomous glare at Nina and agreed through gritted teeth. "...Fine. I’ll transfer the house to you. Now hurry up and give me the ring!"

Upon hearing this, Zoe Kane cried out, "Honey! If you give the house to her, what will happen to Chester?"

Caleb’s brow furrowed, and he hissed, "Shut up!"

’The priority right now is getting the ring,’ he thought. ’Otherwise, Zara Walsh won’t let me off the hook!’

’As for the house, I can just trick Nina into signing it back over to me later.’

’And if that doesn’t work...’ A cold glint flashed in Caleb’s eyes.

’If worst comes to worst, I’ll just send that damned girl to join her mother! As her father, I’m the first in line to inherit her estate. The house will be mine again eventually!’

His mind made up, Caleb ignored Zoe Kane’s protests and went through with the property transfer with Nina.

Fortunately, the government had been pushing for services to be moved online since the disaster, so the transfer could be done right then and there. After a few clicks and confirmations, Nina and Caleb quickly completed the process.

After the property transfer was done, Nina forced Caleb to take out his phone. She had him open every single one of his banking and payment apps, then transferred the last of his money—a little over a hundred thousand—into her own account.

And just like that, after more than an hour, Caleb was well and truly penniless—just as he had been before he married Mindy Walsh.

Staring at one zero-balance account after another, Caleb’s head spun, and his mind went into a daze.

’All these years, I swallowed my pride and married into the Walsh family. I outlived my in-laws, got rid of my wife, and finally made it to the top. I successfully claimed the entire family fortune since there were no other heirs, and now, in the blink of an eye, it’s all gone...’

A piercing pain shot through his head. Caleb rubbed his temples hard and gritted his teeth as he said to Nina, "Are you satisfied now? Give me the ring!"
