Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 578

Chapter 578: Chapter 578: Questioning the Cause of Death

At the thought, Clark Summers glared at Melody Summers and said through gritted teeth, "This is all your fault! If you hadn’t refused to take us in, we never would have ended up like this!"

"Since you won’t let us live, we’ll all go to hell together! No one gets to live! Everyone has to die!"

Watching Clark Summers’s crazed display, Melody Summers was so furious she almost laughed. ’He can blame *this* on me, too?’

’Is there any justice left in the world?’

Just then, Cameron Summers, who was standing to the side, also spoke up. "Don’t blame us, Niece. You were the one who said we were cutting ties. Since we’ve already cut ties, you can’t blame us for being merciless..."

Cameron Summers’s expression seemed helpless, but his eyes held an unconcealable viciousness and malice.

Melody Summers looked at Cameron Summers with a complicated expression. Even though she had seen more than her share of human depravity, she was still shocked by the actions of Cameron and Clark Summers.

She ignored the gun Jason Fletcher was pointing at her, her gaze sweeping back and forth between Cameron and Clark Summers as she asked in a low voice, "Are you even human? Bringing robbers to attack your own family?"

Before Cameron or Clark Summers could speak, Jason Fletcher cut in, "Enough chatter! Shut your damn mouths!"

Time was short, and Jason Fletcher didn’t want to waste any more words on Melody Summers. He pressed the gun to her forehead and turned to Cameron Summers and the man in black. "I’ll handle things here. Lynch, Summers, you two go inside and search!"

"We don’t have much time, so be quick. Loot all the supplies and valuables and move them to the car. As for the people... just finish them off!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and made a throat-slitting gesture.

The man in black, whom he’d called Lynch, nodded. He tightened his grip on his gun and started toward the house, with Cameron Summers following close behind, holding a knife.

Jason Fletcher turned back around, his index finger resting on the trigger. He said to Melody Summers, "As for you... I hear from Summers that you’re the one who manages the money in your family?"

"Hurry up and hand over all your money. Transfer it to my account, and maybe I’ll let you live. Otherwise..."

His lecherous gaze roamed up and down Melody Summers’s body, his eyes glinting with excitement.

Seeing this, Howard Fletcher, who was beside him, said excitedly, "Dad, give her to me! Let me kill her! I want to kill her!"

Howard Fletcher swung the hammer in his hand as he spoke, his youthful face filled with excitement. Like a piranha that had smelled blood, he was abnormally agitated.

Melody Summers ignored the shouting father and son. Seeing the man in black and Cameron Summers about to walk past her into the villa, her figure flashed, and she vanished into her space.

Watching a living, breathing Melody Summers suddenly vanish before his very eyes, Jason Fletcher was as stunned as if he’d just seen a ghost.

"H-How could..."

He stood there holding his gun, looking around in bewilderment. His brain hadn’t even processed what had happened when a gunshot rang out—BANG!

A flower of blood blossomed on his chest.

The next second, Jason Fletcher, still in the posture of holding his gun, fell straight to the ground.

Along with Jason Fletcher, the hammer in Howard Fletcher’s hand also clattered to the ground. Howard stared blankly at the scene, feeling as if what he was seeing had violently shattered his young worldview—

The next second, Melody Summers pressed the gun against his forehead again and said in a low voice, "Stop acting, Howard. I’m not falling for it."

As soon as Melody Summers finished speaking, a flash of viciousness crossed Howard Fletcher’s eyes, but he quickly suppressed it, his expression returning to one of pure innocence.

He looked up at Melody Summers and said pitifully, "Miss, I don’t know what you’re talking about... I’m just a little kid. I know I was wrong. Please, just give me one more chance! I’ll never do anything wrong again... sob..."

Howard Fletcher sounded more and more aggrieved as he spoke, his voice softening. At the end, he even raised his hands to cover his face and began to sob.

An uninformed bystander might have been moved to pity by his childlike sobs, but Melody Summers would not.

Melody Summers lifted the muzzle slightly and fired a shot that grazed the top of Howard Fletcher’s head.

"BANG!"

The gunshot ringing in his ears scared Howard Fletcher witless. He couldn’t even pretend to cry anymore. He looked up at Melody Summers, still reeling from the shock, unable to believe she would actually shoot at a child.

Melody Summers once again pressed the slightly hot muzzle to Howard Fletcher’s forehead and asked coldly, "Howard, tell me the truth... How exactly did Zoe Kane and Chester Summers die?"

The cause of Zoe Kane’s and Chester Summers’s deaths had always been a mystery to the Summers family, and Melody Summers was determined to find out if Howard Fletcher was the one who had killed them.

Hearing Melody Summers’s question, Howard Fletcher blinked slowly, as if processing the meaning of her words.

Seeing Howard Fletcher’s face once again assume a look of pure innocence, Melody Summers tapped his head with the gun and warned him again, "You’d better tell the truth! If you lie to me, I’ll kill you right now! If you tell me the truth, maybe... I’ll consider sparing your life."
