Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 581

Chapter 581: Chapter 581: Rushing into the Fire

To Melody Summers’s surprise, after her grandmother heard the story, she was only stunned for a moment. Then, she nodded calmly and said, "Oh... they’re dead... Well, if they’re dead, they’re dead... It’s for the best!"

Seeing her grandmother’s calm expression, Melody Summers was the one who was surprised. She had thought her grandmother would be grief-stricken for some time after learning of her youngest son’s death and had been wondering how to console her. She never expected such a placid reaction.

What Melody Summers didn’t know was that in her grandmother’s heart, this youngest son of hers was a ticking time bomb.

The family had once bled themselves dry—emptying their savings, mortgaging their property, selling everything they owned—just to pay off Cameron Summers’s gambling debts. Those days had been a living nightmare for her grandmother, one that tormented her to this day.

Every now and then, her grandmother would dream that Cameron Summers had racked up another massive debt. In the dream, a desperate Cameron would lead his creditors to their house. The creditors would take iron bars to their home, smashing everything and leaving the once warm and happy place a complete, unrecognizable wreck...

Whenever this happened, her grandmother would jolt awake from the nightmare and sit in bed, unable to fall back asleep until the sun came up.

For all these years, even though Cameron Summers hadn’t lived at home, her grandmother had continued to live under the shadow of his gambling addiction.

For any family, having a gambler in their midst is a never-ending nightmare.

And the gambler’s death is the only way for that family to escape the nightmare.

Now that Cameron Summers and Clark Summers were dead, her grandmother actually felt a sense of relief. She would never again have to worry about them racking up gambling debts and dragging the family into their mess!

Grace Sutton recovered from her initial shock as well. When she thought about what Cameron Summers and Clark Summers had done, she grew so furious she could spit fire. Slapping her thigh, she exclaimed, "That Cameron! Helping thugs bring ruin to his own family! He... he was an animal! ...He deserved to die!"

"And that Howard Fletcher! ...We were actually right about him! He really did kill all those people, not even sparing his own mother! He’s a little monster, too!"

Beside her, Nina Summers nodded in agreement. The adopted son Caleb Summers had brought home with his own hands had murdered his wife and son. She wondered how Caleb would feel if he knew, wherever he was in the afterlife.

’If hell really exists,’ Nina Summers thought, the image of that family reuniting down there was almost laughable.

Still not feeling vindicated after her tirade, Grace Sutton rolled up her sleeves. Face flushed with anger, she stormed toward the backyard, muttering, "Are the bodies of those animals still in our backyard? How disgusting! They’ve defiled the place! ...I’m going to throw them out!"

Seeing Grace Sutton looking like she wanted to grind Cameron Summers and the others to dust, Melody Summers rushed to stop her. "Aunt, please calm down," she urged. "The bodies... we should let the police handle them! Please don’t go back there!"

The scene in the backyard was too gruesome. Melody Summers didn’t want her family to see it; she was afraid the horrible state of the bodies would give them nightmares.

The mention of police reminded Melody Summers of something else. "By the way, were you able to get through to the police? And what about my mom and my uncle? Have you been able to contact them?"

According to Clark Summers’s confession, Jason Fletcher’s "boss" had planned a major disturbance in the community tonight. She had no idea what the situation was like outside, or if it had been brought under control.

Grace Sutton replied, "Don’t worry. Your uncle just sent a message back. He said they were attacked, but they’ve already driven off the assailants. They’re both fine, so he told us not to worry."

Melody Summers breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Then when are they coming back?"
