Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 533

Chapter 533: Chapter 533: A Man’s Jealousy

Hearing Melody Summers’s words, Simon Lancaster, for some unknown reason, began to laugh like a neurotic fool. "Ha, haha... HAHAHA..."

Melody Summers: "..."

Melody Summers frowned at him, completely baffled. She had no idea what had gotten into him.

’Did I hit him too hard just now? Did I give Simon a concussion?!’

A strange smile played on Simon Lancaster’s face, but the gaze he fixed on Melody Summers was so cold it could freeze water. He said in a low voice, "...Do you know why I helped Sylvia teach you a lesson in our last life?"

Without even thinking, Melody Summers blurted out, "Because you’re a scumbag!"

"What other reason could there be? There’s something wrong with the Lancaster Family’s upbringing, to have raised three venomous, wicked creatures like you!"

Hearing this, Simon Lancaster let out another foolish laugh. He ignored Melody Summers’s taunts and said, speaking as if to himself, "...Because... I just can’t stand the way you are!"

"Why?! Why can’t you just be gentle and obedient like Sylvia, quiet and sensible? Why do you have to act so clever all the time?!"

"Do you have any idea how disgusting it is when you act so clever?! You’re nothing like what a younger sister should be!"

"Other people’s younger sisters just act cute with their brothers, but you have to be a smart-ass about everything, always so competitive! Do you think you’re so incredible?!"

Simon Lancaster’s expression was somewhat hysterical, but Melody Summers just found it all baffling.

She frowned and said, "Me? Competitive? ...When have I ever been competitive? I think you’ve lost your mind!"

Under Melody Summers’s confused gaze, Simon Lancaster continued, "You still dare say you’re not competitive... Don’t you remember, in our last life, right after you returned to the Lancaster Family, Father had you draw up a proposal..."

Hearing this, Melody Summers searched her memory and realized that had indeed happened.

At that time, the abnormal heat waves had just begun, and the Lancaster family’s company hadn’t gone bankrupt yet. One day, Robert Lancaster, perhaps on a whim, had called Melody Summers into his study and asked her to prepare a proposal.

Melody Summers hadn’t understood why at the time, but she still diligently completed the proposal as Robert Lancaster had requested.

Melody Summers never found out if the proposal was adopted, but Robert Lancaster seemed very satisfied. He praised her for her talent and was even planning to arrange for her to help out at the family company.

Unfortunately, the company fell into a bankruptcy crisis not long after, so the matter was naturally dropped.

Melody Summers didn’t understand why Simon Lancaster had suddenly brought this up. She listened as he continued, "You had clearly never been involved in company management. You were clearly just an unsophisticated woman raised in the countryside who had never seen the world. So why were you able to create such a flawless proposal... Even Father praised you, saying you were truly worthy of being a Lancaster..."

Back then, after seeing the proposal Melody Summers had made, Robert Lancaster couldn’t stop praising it. He had even said to Simon Lancaster, "It’s a shame your sister was switched at birth... If she had been raised in this family from a young age, personally groomed and trained, she could probably already be holding her own by now!"

"Look at this proposal. It’s comprehensive, with almost no oversights, and it even finds creative solutions for several difficult problems... Simon, it’s not that I’m trying to criticize you, but when you were her age, you were far inferior to her..."

Although Robert Lancaster’s words were just casual conversation, they pierced Simon Lancaster’s heart like a vicious thorn.
