Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 62

Chapter 62: Chapter 62

DING. Nina Walsh’s phone chimed with a new message. It was from Wendy Sheffield:

"Nina, my brother is off next weekend. You should come over and hang out."

A smile touched Nina Walsh’s eyes. She immediately replied, "Okay, Wendy. Thanks for the invitation. I’ll definitely be there."

After sending the message, Nina Walsh felt the humiliation she’d endured at Melody Summers’s house completely vanish. She looked up at Caleb Summers and Mindy Walsh and said, "Mom, Dad, don’t worry. I will definitely marry into the Sheffield family!"

Mindy Walsh lovingly stroked her daughter’s head and said with a smile, "Of course, Mom knows. Our Nina is so pretty and sensible, who wouldn’t like her? Not like that Melody Summers, who’s just an unwanted shrew!"

Filled with confidence, the mother and daughter slowly walked out of The Metropolis Residences.

In the Summers Villa, Grandma still hadn’t calmed down.

"If those two ever show up again, none of you are to open the door. Just call security and have them thrown out," Grandma said angrily. "Besides, Caleb’s family has wanted to cut ties with us for a long time. From now on, consider the relationship severed!"

Grandma couldn’t stand the way Caleb Summers and his wife behaved. They hadn’t been in touch for over twenty years, and the moment they re-established contact, they tried to sell off her own granddaughter. ’Are they even human?!’

"Caleb has been like this since he was a boy. He’s smart, but it’s all just petty cleverness," Miss Lowell sighed as well. She then comforted Grandma, "Forget it. As the saying goes, you have to let your children make their own way. You shouldn’t worry so much."

Melody Summers nodded in agreement. "She’s right, Grandma. From the looks of it, my second uncle’s family is doing just fine. From now on, we’ll all just live our own lives and not bother each other. That sounds great to me."

The current daily water supply was only enough for drinking and cooking. For ordinary people, even taking a shower was a luxury, let alone washing clothes.

But Caleb Summers’s family was dressed in clean clothes and looked refreshed, which suggested they had decent jobs that allowed them to live well even during these calamitous times.

Grandma nodded. Before, she could never stop worrying. After all, Caleb was her own flesh and blood, the child she carried for ten months. But after today, she was completely done with her second son.

Colin Summers sighed and complained, "That kid has looked down on me, his older brother, since we were young. But back then, when he was in school and I was working, he’d always come to me for money whenever he needed anything! One time, he said he was short on cash at school, and I walked over ten kilometers on a mountain road by myself to bring him money. Then, after he graduated, found a good job, and a good wife, the first thing he did was block me."

"If they look down on us, then we won’t go begging for their attention. It’s better this way, with no contact." Grace Sutton patted Colin’s back, then turned to comfort Winnie. "Winnie, our second brother has always had a foul mouth. Don’t you take anything he said to heart."

Winnie shook her head. Over the years, she had fought her way up all on her own, and she had heard far worse things. She was long since immune to such words. "I’m fine, Grace," she replied. "I’m just afraid they won’t give up and will keep harassing Melody."

Melody Summers smiled. "Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll talk to the security guards. I’ll tell them these people are here to cause trouble and not to let them in if they see them."

Colin Summers nodded as well. "With Caleb’s scrawny build, if he dares to come back, I can throw him out myself!"

Colin’s words made the family laugh, and the heavy atmosphere in the room lightened considerably.

「The Sutton Residence.」

Ethan Sutton came home today with a dark expression on his face. He didn’t know who started it, but now everyone was saying that Sylvia Lancaster was the adopted daughter of the Lancaster family.

Unlike the previous whispers, many people were now claiming with certainty that they had seen the Lancasters’ biological daughter, saying she was the spitting image of Mrs. Lancaster, Elaine Hughes, and was clearly their real child.

Normally, Ethan Sutton wouldn’t have cared about such things, nor would he have stooped to dwelling on them.

But now, with the Sutton family business in trouble, he was already on edge. When people discussed the matter, the mockery was plain on their faces, as if they were laughing at him for marrying an imposter.

Agitated, Ethan Sutton immediately took his anger out on Sylvia Lancaster the moment he got home. "Do you have any idea how people are looking at me out there?!"
