Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 558

Chapter 558: Chapter 558: The Ghost of the Past

Listening to Kylie Walsh’s description, Chloe Sharp couldn’t help but shudder.

’Just picturing it is horrifying,’ she thought. ’But this is the reality for the women here...’

After she finished speaking, Kylie Walsh stood up gracefully. She tucked a strand of long hair behind her ear, lifted her chin, and said, "Alright, things are pretty much handled here. I’m heading back now. You all keep a close watch."

Kylie Walsh wanted to stay and watch the Summers sisters, Melody and Nina, get what was coming to them, but she didn’t have time. Shane Walsh was afraid she would do something reckless, so he had people keeping a tight watch on her. She had to make an excuse just to get out today, so she couldn’t stay away for too long and had to head back.

Still uneasy, Kylie Walsh turned back before leaving and warned Autumn Sawyer again, "When that other bitch gets here, don’t you dare go soft on them. Use every trick in the book. Whatever you do, don’t let them walk out of here alive!"

After Kylie Walsh left, only Chloe Sharp and Autumn Sawyer remained in the room.

Chloe Sharp looked at Autumn Sawyer and asked nervously, "Autumn... if I lure Nina Summers here like this... and she dies, will the police investigation lead to me...?"

Autumn Sawyer fell silent for a moment, then smiled and patted Chloe Sharp’s hand reassuringly. "You don’t have to worry so much. Plenty of people go missing these days. If the police can’t find a body and there’s no other evidence, they’ll have to classify it as a missing person case."

"As for your job... even if you get fired by Rhodes, it doesn’t matter. The Walsh Family has investments in the medical center in the reconstruction zone. I’ll figure something out and get you an administrative position there."

Chloe Sharp’s worried expression vanished the moment she heard Autumn Sawyer’s words.

She took Autumn Sawyer’s hand affectionately, her face full of gratitude. "Thank you, Autumn! I just knew you were as kind as you are beautiful! Being your fan is the luckiest thing that’s ever happened to me!"

Autumn Sawyer just smiled and said, "Alright. If my timing is right, the other woman will be here soon. Take some people and go get her. Be quick about it, and don’t let her escape."

Autumn Sawyer glanced at her watch, thought for a moment, and added, "Lock the two sisters up together for now. Keep a close eye on them. We have important guests coming tonight, so don’t let them cause any trouble!"

SPLASH—

A basin of cold water splashed over her head. The wet chill shot straight through her, and Nina Summers jolted awake from the darkness.

She found herself sprawled on all fours on the floor. She instinctively tried to push herself up, but the moment she moved, a sharp pain shot through the back of her neck, making her clutch it with her hand.

After a moment, Nina Summers finally struggled into a sitting position. She stared blankly ahead, her mind still foggy from having just woken up, unable to make sense of the situation.

She clutched her head, trying to remember. She could only recall Chloe Sharp calling her out for an off-site assignment. The next thing she knew, she’d gotten in the car and lost consciousness.

At that thought, Nina Summers looked around blankly and found herself sitting in a bare room.

’Where is this?’

’And why am I here again?’

’Don’t tell me... I’ve been kidnapped again?!’

Just as Nina Summers was spacing out, a loud CLANG echoed as a washbasin rolled to a stop in front of her.

Nina Summers jumped, whipping her head around. In the next second, her eyes widened in shock.

Joelle Lawson remained silent, raising her hand again to strike Nina’s other cheek.

But this time she didn’t succeed. Nina reacted quickly, catching Joelle Lawson’s hand mid-swing before shoving her hard.

Unsteady on her feet, Joelle Lawson stumbled backward and fell, landing hard on the floor.

Joelle Lawson stayed on the ground, glaring up at Nina as if she were her mortal enemy. "You bitch!" she screamed. "This is all your fault! Damn you! You all deserve to die!"

"What are you talking about?! Who did anything to you?" Nina was shocked and confused. ’She’s completely lost her mind!’

Nina stared angrily at Joelle Lawson, but as she looked closer, she suddenly felt that something was wrong...

She studied Joelle Lawson’s face and asked uncertainly, "Your... what happened to your mouth...?"

’Unless I’m mistaken,’ she thought, ’it looks like... all of Joelle Lawson’s teeth are gone!’

Joelle Lawson’s once-full lips were now strangely sunken, like those of a toothless old woman.

Seeing Nina’s probing gaze, Joelle Lawson quickly covered her mouth with her hand. She glared at Nina and yelled, "You have the nerve to ask! This is all your fault!"

"If you two hadn’t reported The Crestview Hotel, I’d still be living the good life there! I wouldn’t have ended up like this!"

"You and your sister are both bitches! You should die! You should go to hell!"
