Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99: Chapter 99: Sand Vine Worms

Winnie Summers flew into a rage. "Shut your mouth! You shameless old fool! Whether I remarry or not has nothing to do with your son. Now get out!"

Adam Lawson’s father never expected his former daughter-in-law to dare talk back to him. Enraged, he threw himself on the ground and yelled, "I’ll die on your doorstep if I have to! I’m not getting up unless you agree to remarry Adam and transfer ownership of this villa to Joel!"

Seeing him sprawled on the ground, the police officer and security guards couldn’t hold back their laughter. No one moved to help him up.

Sure enough, less than three seconds later, Adam Lawson’s father scrambled back to his feet. The ground was just too hot; a few more seconds and he would have been cooked! He could already feel the skin on his back stinging with pain.

Seeing this, Noelle Quillan bit her lip and burst into tears, pleading with Winnie Summers. "Winnie! I was wrong to you in the past. As compensation, I’m willing to give you my son. You can be Joel’s mother from now on! Please, I’m begging you, agree to remarry Adam!"

Before the apocalypse, Noelle Quillan would never have dreamed of humbling herself before Winnie Summers. In her eyes, a woman like Winnie was a fool who couldn’t hold onto her own husband, destined to be nothing more than a loser at her feet.

But now, she was desperate to live in this villa.

So Noelle Quillan comforted herself. ’So what if I have to grovel for a bit? I’m younger than Winnie. Even if she and Adam get back together, I was able to steal him once. I can definitely do it again!’

’Besides, once they remarry, Adam will be the man of the house. Winnie is barren, and that Melody girl is just some abandoned baby they took in—a worthless money pit. Eventually, this house will have to be left to my son, Joel. And when that happens, I’ll be the one in charge.’

Before Winnie Summers could respond, Grace Sutton spat right in Noelle Quillan’s face. "Pah!" she cursed furiously. "Who the hell do you think you are? That son of yours is nothing but a bastard born from your affair! You have the nerve to parade him in front of my sister?!"

Grace Sutton’s chest heaved; she was clearly seething. "And another thing," she continued her tirade, "those two kids of yours look nothing like that animal Adam Lawson! Who’s to say they’re even his? My sister had a full medical check-up a few years back, and she’s perfectly healthy. She and Adam were married for years without children—I’d bet it was because he’s the one who’s sterile!"

Her words struck Noelle Quillan like a bolt of lightning. Her face paled, and panic seized her heart.

Before Noelle Quillan could think of a reply, Adam Lawson cut in with a frown. "Of course they’re my children! Noelle was a virgin when she got with me! Grace, don’t try to sow discord. Are you just saying this because you don’t want our Joel competing with your Ian for this house?"

Grace Sutton ignored Adam Lawson. Seeing the guilt and panic on Noelle Quillan’s face, she let out a cold little smirk. ’Looks like I’ve stumbled onto a secret. This idiot Adam is probably raising another man’s kids.’

At that moment, Melody Summers, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke. "Adam Lawson, is your family trying to move into our villa?"

Hearing Melody say this, Adam Lawson thought he saw an opening. He nodded eagerly. "Yes, my dear daughter! Daddy’s good girl, just let your dad in. If you accept your dad and your little brother, you’ll finally have a brother of your own! Think about it—with a brother to back you up, no one will ever dare bully you again, right?"

Melody Summers gave a noncommittal smile. "Then tell me who gave you this address. If you tell me, I’ll consider letting you move in."

Adam Lawson’s eyes darted around in panic. "N-Nobody told us," he stammered. "We just... happened to run into you."

Melody Summers snorted. "Not talking, huh? Then you can all just get lost."

With that, Melody made a move to shut the door.

"Wait!" Adam Lawson yelled, stopping her. He hesitated, then gritted his teeth and confessed, "The man said he was the president of the Lancaster Group."

Two weeks ago, Simon Lancaster had found Adam Lawson and given him this address.

Ever since learning the address, Adam Lawson and his family had been lying in wait nearby. They hadn’t expected the Summers family to have evacuated because of the mountain fire, only returning today.

Melody Summers raised an eyebrow. ’So it’s that disgusting Simon Lancaster again.’ She replied in a cold voice, "Oh? And what exactly did he tell you?"

Adam Lawson hesitated before answering in a low voice, "He told me to find a way to remarry your mother, and then convince her to kick you out of the Summers family."

In Simon Lancaster’s mind, the fact that Winnie Summers hadn’t remarried in all these years meant she must still be hung up on her ex-husband. Furthermore, he believed that a simple woman like her was bound to obey her husband. Once she and Adam were remarried, Adam would be the one calling all the shots.

All Adam had to do was tell Melody to leave, and Winnie would be powerless to stop him. Once Melody was out of the Summers family with nowhere else to go, she would have no choice but to return to the Lancaster Family.

Melody figured out Simon Lancaster’s scheme and couldn’t help but scoff. ’I can’t believe Mr. Lancaster is still living in the dark ages.’

’Even someone from the older generation like Miss Lowell knows your children can’t be your weakness, let alone a self-made career woman like Mom. As if she’d ever listen to Adam Lawson.’

After speaking, Adam Lawson stole a glance at Melody’s expression and hastily added, "But don’t you worry, Melody. Daddy would never do that! You’ll always be Daddy’s favorite daughter! When your mom and I get back together, I’ll be sure to treat you both right."

Adam shot his son, Joel, a desperate look. Joel quickly stepped forward and yelled at Melody, "Big sister! When you get married, I’ll protect you! If you have me, your in-laws will never dare to bully you!"
