Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 567

Chapter 567: Chapter 567

After hearing Chloe Sharp’s words, the calm expression on Autumn Sawyer’s face instantly crumbled.

She glared at Chloe Sharp and said through clenched teeth, "You! How dare you say that to me... You bitch!"

As expected of Autumn Sawyer’s former number-one fan, Chloe Sharp’s words were like she was dancing on a minefield, precisely hitting every one of Autumn’s triggers and twisting the knife with each blow.

Autumn Sawyer’s eyes turned red with fury. She glared at Chloe Sharp, her gaze intense enough to slice her into a thousand pieces. But Chloe Sharp stared back without an ounce of fear, all her former love and adoration replaced by an overwhelming hatred.

They stared each other down for a moment. Suddenly, Autumn Sawyer spun around, snatched a knife from her subordinate’s hand, and as Chloe Sharp watched with eyes full of anger and defiance, she viciously plunged it into Chloe Sharp’s eye...

"How many times have I told you? Stay at home and stay out of trouble! But you never listen, and now you’ve gotten us into this huge mess!"

"You actually went and kidnapped those two Summers women and even took them to The Serene Leaf Teahouse... Do you have any idea you could get us all killed?!"

Kylie Walsh clutched her stinging red cheek, listening to Shane Walsh’s furious roars. She felt both humiliated and wronged, and tears streamed down from the corners of her eyes.

’In just the last six months, this was the third time Shane Walsh had hit her!’

’The brother who used to dote on her, spoil her, and let her have her way in everything seemed to have vanished.’

Kylie Walsh suppressed her feelings of injustice, looked up at Shane Walsh, and said through clenched teeth, "What gives you the right to hit me? They’re just a couple of girls. I kidnapped them, so what? What could possibly happen? Don’t tell me the Walsh family can’t afford to mess with them?!"

’Kylie Walsh felt deeply wronged. She didn’t understand why Shane Walsh was reacting so strongly. The Walsh family had dealt with people from far better backgrounds than Melody Summers, so she didn’t think she’d done anything wrong at all.’

"’A couple of girls?’ Hearing Kylie Walsh say that only fueled Shane Walsh’s rage. ’This sister of mine has been completely spoiled by the family!’"

’She’s a woman in her thirties, but she doesn’t have a single brain cell to her name! What sin did the Walsh family commit to produce such a stupid descendant!’

Shane Walsh fought back the urge to slap Kylie again. He slammed his hand on the table and yelled, "They’re the daughter and niece of Winnie Summers from the Reconstruction Department! If they disappeared without a trace, do you really think the matter would just be dropped?!"

’Once the police launched a full investigation, if they followed the clues back to The Serene Leaf Teahouse, the consequences would be unthinkable!’

Shane Walsh’s expression was grave, but Kylie Walsh was unconcerned. She snorted in disdain. "So what! That Winnie Summers is just some woman with no backing who got lucky to land that position. She has no connections and no power. Is the Walsh family supposed to be afraid of her?!"

"...And how do you know she doesn’t have backing?!" Shane Walsh was exasperated by his sister’s stupidity. ’If there really wasn’t someone protecting her from behind the scenes, could she have secured that position so easily with her qualifications alone?’

"So what if she has backing?" Kylie Walsh wiped the tears from her face, her expression nonchalant. "My plan was foolproof. All the surveillance cameras along the route were broken. If Yuri Walsh hadn’t shown up and let them go, the police would never have been able to trace it back to us!"

Finished, Kylie Walsh looked at Shane Walsh with disappointment, her face full of resentment. "Brother, Zara is dead! She was killed by those two bitches from the Summers family!"

"You’re her father, yet you don’t even want to avenge her... How can you face her dead mother?!"

As Kylie Walsh said this, her tears finally broke free and streamed down her face.

Autumn Sawyer looked up. Her cheeks were swollen and so red they looked ready to bleed. There was a trickle of blood at the corner of her mouth; she had clearly been brutally punished.

Having just had a brush with death, Autumn Sawyer didn’t dare say another word. She quickly scrambled to her feet and helped Kylie Walsh out of the room.

After Kylie Walsh and Autumn Sawyer left, only Shane Walsh, Brandon Walsh, and Hayden Jennings, who had been sitting quietly to the side, remained in the room.

The three men were silent for a moment before Brandon Walsh spoke up. "Come on, Brother, don’t be angry. Kylie doesn’t know the full story, so don’t blame her."

"Besides, Kylie has a point. They’re just a couple of girls with no backing. They can’t stir up much trouble."

Shane Walsh sighed, rubbing his temples with a pained expression. "I’m just afraid they’ll expose what’s happening at The Serene Leaf Teahouse. If that happens... I’m afraid it will bring unnecessary trouble..."

Brandon Walsh just smiled and reassured him, "Brother, stop scaring yourself. I sounded out Director Adler about this before. He told me himself that as long as it doesn’t become public knowledge, they won’t interfere."

"You know how it is. The police department has too much on its plate right now. There are hundreds of robberies and murders in the city every day. They can’t be bothered with small-timers like us running gambling and prostitution rings!"

If they don’t interfere, they won’t investigate, and they certainly won’t find out about anything else.

Brandon Walsh’s words settled Shane Walsh’s nerves somewhat. But after a moment’s thought, he added, "I’m worried that if this really blows up, Roman Rhodes and his people have zero tolerance for this kind of thing... If they come to investigate and find out about our other things..."

Brandon Walsh scoffed. "Roman Rhodes? They have even less time for this! A group over in the east side has formed a faction and is rebelling. Roman Rhodes and his people took the army and the Armed Police to suppress them. How could they possibly have time to worry about our petty affairs?"
