Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse

In the auction hall on the 30th floor of the hotel, Kevin Kent had a glass of red wine in one hand and his other arm around a petite starlet. He wandered around the venue, looking for a chance to chat with someone important.

Kevin Kent was in his fifties. He was in the funeral business and also ran a crematorium. Although he made a decent living before the natural disaster, he was merely well-off, far from being truly rich and powerful.

Later, because of the natural disaster, his business skyrocketed. He’d made a fortune over the past two years and was living the high life.

From the bottom of his heart, Kevin Kent felt that this disaster was a blessing from heaven.

Now that he had accumulated a large amount of seed capital, he was rubbing his hands together, eager to break into other industries. But he lacked connections. He had come to this auction and cocktail party today to see if he could latch onto a big ship.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze sweeping across the venue, looking to see if any big bosses were present.

Suddenly, his eyes were drawn to a familiar figure in a corner—a young girl wearing a pink sweater.

When he got a clear look at the girl’s face, Kevin Kent’s small, beady eyes lit up, and a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

The next moment, he let go of the starlet in his arms and strode toward the figure in pink.

He walked straight up to the girl in the pink sweater in the corner and asked, "Hey, little beauty. Are you here alone?"

Although Kevin Kent’s question was an inquiry, his tone was full of malice and utterly sleazy.

Hearing this, Lucy White looked up at the man in confusion. She had assumed it was just someone else trying to hit on her.

But when she got a clear look at the man’s face, her pupils constricted sharply—it was as if she’d seen a ghost, and her heart began to pound uncontrollably!

Seeing the surprise on Lucy White’s face, Kevin Kent became more certain of his suspicions.

He raked his lecherous gaze up and down Lucy White’s body and said in a menacing tone, "Little beauty, have we met somewhere before? ...You look so familiar..."

As he spoke, a sleazy smile spread across Kevin Kent’s face. The fat on his cheeks bunched up, making him look somewhat grotesque.

Lucy White lowered her gaze to hide the panic in her eyes. Suppressing the terror in her heart with all her might, she said, "...Y-You’ve got the wrong person. I don’t know you!"

With that, she turned to leave.

But unexpectedly, Kevin Kent took two steps forward, blocking Lucy White’s path. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

To Lucy White’s surprise, he sneered and said in a mocking tone, "Stop pretending! You’re ’Louise,’ aren’t you?"

Hearing the name "Louise" come from Kevin Kent’s mouth, Lucy White’s heart sank—she knew he had recognized her!

Kevin Kent chuckled sleazily. He reached out a fat hand and pinched Lucy White’s cheek, lowering his voice to say, "Louise, I haven’t seen you since that incident at The Crestview Hotel. It’s been so long, but I’ve been thinking about you..."

"What, are you selling yourself at The Nimbus Hotel now? ...Heh heh, give me a room number. I’ll drop by tonight and give you some business..."

The sickeningly damp and hot sensation on her cheek, mixed with the stench of smoke and alcohol on his breath, made Lucy White want to retch.

She violently shoved away the hand Kevin Kent had on her cheek and said in a trembling voice, "Don’t touch me! I told you, I don’t know you at all!"

Seeing this, Kevin Kent sneered and said mockingly, "Louise, now that’s not right of you... I spent over a million on you, all told. For you to pretend you don’t know me now, isn’t that a bit heartless..."

Before Lucy White could speak, a slightly coquettish voice came from behind her—

"Oh? Kevin, is this an old flame of yours?"

As the voice sounded, the starlet who had been watching coldly from the side approached gracefully, holding her wine glass.

Seeing her approach, Kevin Kent quickly pulled her into his arms and said soothingly with a smile, "Autumn, don’t get the wrong idea. She’s just a whore! A prostitute! ...I just came over to teach her a lesson, tell her not to peddle her wares here and offend everyone’s eyes!"

The starlet in Kevin Kent’s arms, Autumn Sawyer, pursed her lips disdainfully and snorted softly when she heard this.

Autumn Sawyer had originally been a rising actress with a considerable fanbase. She had just won a newcomer’s award right before the disaster, and her career was about to take off.

Unfortunately, not long after she won the award, the disaster struck. She spent all her savings to hoard a large amount of supplies, hoping to survive the catastrophe.

But unexpectedly, just after she had finished stockpiling, a group of robbers broke into her villa and plundered all of her hoarded supplies!

To survive, Autumn Sawyer had no choice but to give herself to her company’s boss, becoming his Canary.

Later, when her boss grew tired of her, he dumped her. She was passed around among many hands before finally ending up with Kevin Kent.

Kevin Kent was a nouveau riche who had made his fortune after the disaster. He had no real power or influence, just a bit of money. Before the disaster, Autumn Sawyer would have never, ever given him the time of day, but now, she had no other choice but to hold on to him tightly.

At this thought, Autumn Sawyer narrowed her almond-shaped eyes, looking Lucy White up and down. Then, she raised her hand and—SLAP!—struck Lucy White across the face!

Feeling the stinging pain on her cheek, Lucy White clutched her face in shock. She stared at Autumn Sawyer in disbelief and demanded, "What gives you the right to hit me?!"

Autumn Sawyer snorted coldly and replied, "For trying to seduce my man!"

Autumn Sawyer’s words made Lucy White’s eyes turn red with anger, and her voice trembled. She gritted her teeth and said, "When did I ever try to seduce him? He’s the one who came over and started harassing me! And now you hit me for no reason. I’m calling security!"

Hearing this, Autumn Sawyer snorted again. Of course she knew Kevin Kent had initiated it. ’But I depend on him to live. I can’t let anyone have a chance to replace me. Kevin is a womanizer, so I have to drive away any woman who might threaten my position!’

’I have to be especially wary of young, beautiful girls like Lucy White. I have to teach her a lesson so she’ll never dare to think about getting her hooks into Kevin Kent again!’

So she sneered and said mockingly, "You’re a prostitute, wandering around a cocktail auction like this. Isn’t it just to hook a client? But of all the people to hook, you just had to go after Autumn Sawyer’s man. I think you’re looking to die..."

After she finished speaking, a vicious glint flashed in her beautiful almond eyes, completely at odds with her lovely and bright features.

She stared at Lucy White with a sinister gaze and said in a cold voice, "Go on, call security. While you’re at it, tell everyone that you’re a hooker. I’m also going to ask the hotel staff why they’d let someone like you in. I’m terrified of catching some filthy disease from you!"

At these words, a flicker of uncertainty crossed Lucy White’s eyes. She instinctively lowered her gaze, not daring to meet Autumn Sawyer’s.

’Of course, she didn’t think her past was something to be ashamed of. She knew she was a victim!’

’But she was afraid that if other people found out, the Simmons family would kick her out!’

’It was so cold outside now. If she was thrown out, the only thing waiting for her was a dead end!’
