“What? Did something like this actually happen?” Sebastian Brenand had a look of disbelief in his eyes.Rachel Wood nodded with a bitter smile. “Yeah…”“How bad was it for your family?” His heart aching, Sebastian hugged Rachel tightly in his arms. He carefully and gently rubbed her back to console her.“It was very tough back then. Sigh. Let’s not talk about this. Anyway, it’s all in the past…” Rachel said.“Alright,” Sebastian replied.To avoid reminding Rachel of sad things in the past, Sebastian decided to stop speaking.After coming to this small city, he got to see another side of human nature.Sebastian found it hard to imagine how that lady had the cheek to say that she looked after Rachel’s family when she treated them like that in the past.Was she willing to forgo all pride just to acquire good connections?The more Sebastian thought about it, the angrier he felt…Marlene was truly a prideful, realistic, and pretentious old lady.Right then, the cab they called ar

Just as Rachel Wood got lost in thought, those people already left her line of sight. So instead, they walked up to Sebastian Brenand.Rachel didn’t know what those people said to Sebastian. After that, they disappeared from her line of vision…When Rachel saw this, she slowly stood up and prepared to walk out the door.Right then, a fierce-looking law enforcer brushed past the leaders and quickly entered through the door.As soon as he entered, he walked up to Rachel. “Are you the one those people inside mentioned who came to file a report because of a domestic violence case? You don’t seem hurt. What proof do you have that you were a victim of domestic violence?”Hearing the words ‘what proof do you have’ reminded Rachel of her parents’ experienced.On top of that, the person in front of her had an extremely arrogant attitude. Rachel’s face instantly turned cold…After that, she shifted her gaze to the man’s name badge.‘Daryl Hawkins’ was written on the name badge.Rachel f

“Are you referring to my father when you mentioned the unreasonable person? The one who was robbed a few hundred thousand dollars… He came to file a report, and you ignored him…” Rachel Wood said.“What evidence do you have that you were robbed? How would I know if you didn’t just hide your stuff away?” Daryl Hawkins retorted firmly…“Are we so crazy that we’d intentionally hide stuff away and come to you for help on investigating? Evidence? Our house is the scene of the crime. How could there not be any evidence? If you don’t go and look, would evidence just fall from the sky?” Rachel asked.“We only have so few people here. So if we go to every person’s house just because they ask us to, then we won’t need to do any other work,” Daryl said.“You’re unbelievable… You’d do anything to avoid work…” Rachel said.Daryl sneered. “How am I avoiding work? Is what happened in your house a big deal? What’s wrong with what I did?”So, what if he didn’t want to work? It was an old habit.

Sebastian Brenand’s movement was clean and direct. He didn’t beat around the bush at all. The expression on his face was unusually calm and cold.After that, Sebastian stepped over Daryl Hawkins and quickly walked over to Rachel Wood. He naturally helped Rachel onto her feet and hugged her.This thoroughly dumbfounded Daryl.What?Did this impolite woman belong to this powerful figure?Had Daryl gotten himself into trouble with a tough crowd?How could he be this unlucky?Daryl knew that reason wasn’t on his side. But, since his opponents were this powerful, he really didn’t dare to say too much anymore.The more he said, the worse the situation he would find himself in.Thinking of this, Daryl resisted the acute pain in his stomach before carefully standing up. After that, he started shivering on the spot…This woman suddenly came here with such an influential figure. She was probably here for her family’s case. Was she here to get closure?Meanwhile, Daryl was completely u

“That’s for certain. To be honest, I’ve wanted to deal with this person. Many of our colleagues have mentioned that he has a poor attitude…” The most senior leader spoke again.Sebastian Brenand couldn’t be bothered to keep the conversation going. “Will this do?” He hugged Rachel Wood and asked.Rachel nodded gently.With how things were dealt with, there wasn’t anything she’d nitpick on…“Also, this lady over here, we’ll surely prioritize your family’s affair… I promise we’ll find the culprit as soon as possible, as well as recover all your family’s financial losses…” The most senior leader said carefully while looking at Rachel.“Okay. Sorry for the trouble,” Rachel replied politely.“That’s our job. Madam, Mr. Brenand, would you like to sit for a while in my office upstairs? You can tell me about the robbery that happened recently in detail…” The most senior leader said.Rachel nodded gently…The two of them went to the office upstairs and briefed the most senior leader abou

Rachel Wood’s father immediately removed his long-sighted glasses and looked at Sebastian Brenand excitedly. “Thank you so much, Sebastian. I can finally get this off my chest… But, most importantly, my belongings can also be found…”Sebastian smiled a little. “It’s not a big deal. Don’t worry about it, Uncle. We’re all part of the same family. Between you and I, you don’t have to thank me…”Rachel’s father was beginning to like Sebastian more and more…Suddenly, Rachel’s father had an even more gentle look in his eyes. “Rachel is fortunate to have found a boyfriend like you…”Sebastian immediately held Rachel’s hand tightly. “I’m the lucky one to have met Rachel…”Because of Rachel, Sebastian got to know what love and a secure relationship meant.Thanks to Rachel, he no longer had to wander around aimlessly. Instead, he was able to have everlasting love.Hearing this, Rachel’s father became overjoyed…At first, he was apprehensive about Rachel and Sebastian being together…He

The call was from an unknown number…When Rachel Wood saw this, she immediately picked up the call curiously. “Hello…”“Is this Miss Rachel Wood? I’m the person-in-charge you met in the afternoon at the police station…”“Yes…” Rachel said.“We’re now in front of your building, but the door to the building is locked. There wasn’t any response when we pressed on your house’s number… Could I trouble you to come down and open the door for us?” The person’s tone sounded very polite.When Rachel heard this, she instantly stood up and put on her white knitted sweater that she hung on a chair. “Okay, sure. I’ll be right down…” She said while preparing to head out.With that, Rachel hung up the phone.Sebastian Brenand quickly stood up when he saw this. He pressed Rachel back down to her seat. “Continue eating. I’ll get the door… It’s very exhausting for you to run up and down…”There wasn’t a lift in their building. So they’d need to take the stairs whenever they wanted to walk up or d

This kind of treatment was something Rachel Wood’s parents had never experienced.The investigation lasted for half an hour. Once half an hour was over, the leaders left with the other law enforcers.After they had left, Rachel led Sebastian Brenand and her parents back to the dining room to continue with dinner.Due to those people’s extremely good attitude, Rachel’s father seemed unusually relaxed. He also felt extraordinarily pleased with Sebastian.After dinner, Rachel held Sebastian’s hand and walked out the door together.In the small town, it was very quiet at night.It was only slightly past twelve, but there were already very few people outside…Cold breezes blew against them, making them feel a little chilly.Sebastian hugged Rachel tight with a serious look on his face. “How do you feel? Are you cold?”Rachel shook her head…“It’s really peaceful here at night…” Sebastian commented.“Yeah, it’s a small area. So not many young folks stay behind. Besides, the nightl
