Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 412

Chapter 412: Chapter 412: Retribution

Noelle Quillan was momentarily stunned by Melody Summers’s words.

She stared blankly at Melody Summers, asking in a hoarse voice, "You... you... how did you know..."

Melody Summers raised an eyebrow. "Are you asking how I know the two kids you had aren’t Adam Lawson’s? Because during the heatwave last year, Adam Lawson brought Joel Lawson to find us. At the time, he was calling Joel a ’bastard’..."

Hearing this, Noelle Quillan’s face grew even paler.

Melody Summers continued, "My guess is, he found out that Joel and Joelle weren’t his children... so that’s why he sold you and Joelle."

Noelle Quillan’s eyes flickered. She murmured, "So... so Adam Lawson went to your mother to try and get back together with her?"

Melody Summers wanted to roll her eyes into the back of her head.

’Get back together? Dream on!’

’Who the hell did Adam Lawson think he was? What gave him the right to even think about getting back together with Winnie Summers?’

’It’s not like Winnie Summers goes around picking up trash!’

Before Melody Summers could retort, Noelle Quillan pressed, "Then... what about Joel? Where is Joel now? Is he at your house?"

Instead of answering, Melody Summers frowned and shot back, "First, you tell me. Whose children are Joel and Joelle, really?"

’If Noelle Quillan was really forced into this by her uncle and aunt with no other choice, like she claimed, then how could she have been cheating with someone else while she was with Adam Lawson? Why didn’t she choose to be with the children’s biological father?’

Noelle Quillan bit her lower lip, her expression conflicted. After a moment, she finally gritted out, "It... It was my uncle..."

Melody Summers’s eyes widened in shock. "What did you say?!"

Noelle Quillan lowered her eyes, a desolate, bitter smile twisting her lips. "Back then, my uncle and aunt arranged for Adam Lawson to keep me. We lived together, but... who would have known... Adam Lawson was impotent. Two or three years went by, and I never got pregnant..."

"When Adam Lawson saw I still wasn’t pregnant, he decided he didn’t want me anymore. He was going to send me back to my uncle and aunt. When they found out, they got very anxious. They were afraid Adam Lawson would stop giving them money, so..."

At this, Noelle Quillan’s voice trembled uncontrollably. She took a few deep breaths to compose herself before continuing, "Then I got pregnant. Adam Lawson and his parents were thrilled. Adam told me he loved me very much, and that once I safely delivered the baby, he would divorce his wife and marry me..."

"But unfortunately, my first child was a daughter. Adam Lawson went back on his word about divorcing his wife and marrying me. He said a daughter was useless, that she couldn’t inherit the family business. The Lawson family needed a son to carry on the family line, so..."

"Later, I got pregnant again and gave birth to Joel. You know what happened after that... Adam Lawson took me to his home to confront your mother. He divorced her and married me..."

At this, Noelle Quillan gave a tragic smile. "You’ll probably laugh at me for saying this, but back then, I thought I had finally made it. I thought my miserable days were finally over, and that I’d live a good life from then on... But who could have imagined that after just a few good years, this disaster would strike..."

After listening to all this, Melody Summers looked at Noelle Quillan with a complicated expression.

"I was shameless. I was despicable. I’ve wronged you and your mother, but I’m paying for it now... Can you please save me...? I want to see my daughter again... I don’t want to die..."

Melody Summers glanced down at her. After a moment’s thought, she asked, "Do you know who else is in this house besides you, Gene Young, and Yvonne York?"

Noelle Quillan shook her head. "No one. It’s just the three of us living here."

Melody was puzzled. "How can it be just the three of you? Don’t Gene Young and Yvonne York have children? Do their kids not live here?"

Noelle Quillan shook her head again. "I overheard Gene Young and Yvonne York talking once. They used to live here as a family of four, but ever since I and the other prostitutes were moved into The Metropolis Residences, they sent their two children to live with their elders... They said they were afraid we prostitutes would be a bad influence on their children..."

Melody scoffed inwardly. ’So, Gene Young and Yvonne York care so much about their own children, yet they can be so cruel to the children of others...’

Now that she had a clearer picture, a plan suddenly began to form in Melody Summers’s mind.

Melody Summers looked at Noelle Quillan and said in a cold voice, "Noelle Quillan, I wasn’t going to save you. After everything you’ve done, there’s no way I could forgive you on my mother’s behalf... However, I can give you a chance to survive. But you have to do exactly as I say!"

Hearing this, a sliver of hope ignited in Noelle Quillan’s despairing eyes. She looked at Melody Summers and said, "Okay! As long as you let me live, I’ll do anything!"

Melody stared into her eyes and said in a low, serious voice, "I need you to imprison that couple, Gene Young and Yvonne York. Don’t let them escape, and don’t let them die. Keep them here until the police arrive."
