Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 557

Chapter 557: Chapter 557: Taking the Bait

Valerius Avenue was on the border of the South and North Districts. There was some localized flooding nearby. Though not very deep, residents had been evacuated under government orders as a safety precaution.

The Serene Leaf Teahouse was a landmark building near Valerius Avenue, situated on a small hillside. The environment was elegant, but unfortunately, the teahouse had closed down due to poor management during the volcanic eruption in the second year of the cataclysm.

On the top floor of The Serene Leaf Teahouse, Kylie Walsh sat by the window, holding a cup of black tea and silently watching the cars come and go below, an unconcealable anxiety etched in her features.

A moment later, a DING from a phone notification cut through the air. The hand Kylie Walsh was using to hold her tea trembled slightly. She quickly set the cup down and shot an inquisitive look at Chloe Sharp, who stood nearby holding the phone.

Chloe Sharp immediately checked the phone, then gave a small smile. Leaning over, she presented the screen to Kylie Walsh and said, "Miss Walsh, Melody Summers agreed. She said she’s coming over right away."

Kylie Walsh’s eyes were fixed on the phone screen. Once she made out Melody Summers’s reply, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, a satisfied smile spreading across her face.

’She’d been worried this whole time, afraid Melody Summers would see through the trap and refuse to come.’

’Thankfully, Melody Summers hadn’t noticed anything was wrong. Now she could finally relax.’

Now that Nina Summers was locked up, all they had to do was wait for Melody Summers. Then, she would teach those two sisters the meaning of a fate worse than death!

At the thought of Zara Walsh’s death, a thick hatred flashed in Kylie Walsh’s eyes. ’If it weren’t for those two sisters, my niece Zara wouldn’t have died! I’ll make them join her in the grave to atone for it!’

Seeing this, Autumn Sawyer, who was sitting across from Kylie Walsh, looked up and gave Chloe Sharp a small smile. "Sharp, you did well this time," she said.

Upon hearing this, Chloe Sharp immediately broke into a sycophantic grin. "Thank you for the praise, Autumn!" she replied in a fawning tone. "It’s my honor to be of service to you!"

Back when Frank York racked up massive gambling debts and killed himself by jumping off a building, Chloe Sharp grew terrified of being implicated. She packed her bags overnight and fled The Metropolis Residences.

She had originally planned to return to her hometown to live with her parents but was unfortunately attacked by robbers on the road. Just as she thought she was about to be killed, a passing Autumn Sawyer saved her.

As it happened, Chloe Sharp and Autumn Sawyer had some history.

Three years ago, Autumn Sawyer was a popular celebrity, and Chloe Sharp was one of her most loyal fans.

Since Chloe’s video account had a substantial follower base and her edits of Autumn’s acting received high traffic, Autumn Sawyer’s studio contacted her. The two parties reached an agreement, and Chloe became one of Autumn’s official fan leaders.

Autumn Sawyer was now with Kylie Walsh’s cousin, Brandon Walsh. In addition to being his mistress, she also helped manage his privately-owned entertainment venues. She was in desperate need of someone reliable whose background she knew, and it was then that she stumbled upon Chloe Sharp being mugged.

And just like that, Autumn Sawyer kept Chloe Sharp by her side to do her bidding. To make Chloe more valuable, she even pleaded with the Walshs to get Chloe a recommendation at Rhodes.

They had only managed to lure Nina Summers out this time because she and Chloe were colleagues, which had made Nina lower her guard.

However...

Chloe Sharp, after holding back for as long as she could, finally bit the bullet and asked, "But, Autumn... when I lured Nina out, some of our coworkers saw me... If something happens to her, will I still be able to go back to my job at Rhodes?"
