“Who told you about that?” Xyla Quest asked.Sharon Lindt answered truthfully. “A friend of mine owns the place Rachel used to work at. He was the one who told me, but I don’t know if Sebastian’s family found out about it.“I think that might be why his parents disapprove of their relationship,” she added.Xyla frowned upon realizing that they couldn't keep it a secret after all.No matter how hard Sebastian Brenand tried to hide it, the secret still ended up surfacing somehow.“You have no idea how the women in our circle talk behind each others' backs. They talk about Sebastian and his family all the time. I guess his parents probably couldn’t take it any longer," Sharon sighed.“For me, I’d give in no matter how much I disliked the girl as long as my son wants to be with her and nobody else," she went on.“Not all hostesses are immoral. Some had no other choice. I heard this was the case for Rachel. I also heard that she lost her virginity to Sebastian, and nobody else slept
Chapter 2076
Stanley Batton wore a white shirt with a black suit under a long, black woolen coat. His appearance was like a dominant CEO described in novels.There was a cold, noble aura that surrounded him.After getting out of the car, he subconsciously looked up in Xyla Quest’s direction, his lips instantly curving into a smile when he saw her.At that moment, the coldness around him dissipated.Stanley hastened his footsteps into the house with a bag of roasted chestnuts, heading directly into the bedroom where his wife greeted him with a hug as soon as he entered.“How did it go? Did you find out who did it?” she asked eagerly as she inhaled the agarwood cologne on Stanley’s body. His unique scent made her feel very warm and safe.His arms wrapped around Xyla, returning her hug. “Yeah, you were right. Sebastian’s parents made Rachel leave.”Xyla didn’t reveal any emotions when she heard this.She pulled away from Stanley to gaze up at him. “What?”Frowning, he handed the bag of roaste
Chapter 2077
“Rachel was captured after she left the house. She's still alive, that much we know. Sebastian’s parents told him Rachel would stay alive as long as he was obedient. Otherwise, she would have to die.“She even said they would occasionally send him voice notes from Rachel to let him know she was still alive.“Sebastian’s mother personally admitted to all this,” Stanley Batton said.Hearing all that made Xyla Quest's heart ache painfully. Although she wasn’t there when it happened, she could only imagine how Sebastian Brenand and Rachel Wood must have felt.Rachel, especially, must have been terrified.Most importantly, they still had no idea where she was being held hostage.“How are we sure that they have Rachel?" Xyla questioned with a thoughtful frown. "Maybe they don’t have her at all, but they’re only saying it to threaten Sebastian?”Stanley shook his head. “They contacted the person who was keeping an eye on Rachel right in front of Sebastian and allowed him to hear her vo
Chapter 2078
Apart from doing what his parents wanted him to do, Sebastian Brenand didn’t have another option.They had found his weak point with Rachel Wood in their hands.Beep, beep, beep—When his phone started ringing, he took one look at his screen to see his mother calling and directly rejected the call.He was afraid he couldn’t stop himself from heading home to kill her if he heard her voice now.Rachel was so fragile. He couldn’t imagine the torture she was going through.Why did they have to do this to her when she had already made up her mind to leave?Sebastian’s phone soon started ringing again.He ignored it again, but the calls kept coming.Growing impatient, he picked it up and yelled into the mouthpiece. “What exactly do you want? Are you checking to see if your son has died after all the things you’ve done?”On the other end of the call, his mother sounded calm. “I’ve checked that woman’s background. She used to be a hostess. She doesn’t deserve a family like ours, son.
Chapter 2079
Sebastian Brenand’s phone instantly broke into pieces.His world had become quiet.There was dead silence around him.Although it was warm in the house, Sebastian felt chills all over his body.Leaning weakly against the couch, he stared lifelessly ahead, feeling like he couldn’t cope anymore.It was the first time he ever hated his identity.None of this would have happened if he had come from an ordinary family. He would be able to spend the rest of his life peacefully with the woman he loved.He regretted not taking Rachel Wood out of the country when his parents objected to their relationship. They would’ve been out of their reach.If they’d left sooner, none of these tragic events would’ve happened.Sebastian hated himself for still caring about his family and thought he could wait a while longer.Why did he have to wait? Where was Rachel now?His parents had lost their minds.Perhaps, Rachel was being tortured by them right now.The longer it took for Sebastian to fi
Chapter 2080
Sebastian Brenand had a tired look on his face. His beard had grown even thicker, and he seemed sluggish and cold.His mother saw him walking in from the corner of her eyes, but she didn’t react. Instead, she sipped her milk slowly.When the old housekeeper saw his dripping clothes, she approached him with a pained expression on her face. “Sir, it’s pouring outside. Why did you run through the rain without an umbrella?”The housekeeper had watched Sebastian grow up and had never seen him in such a downtrodden state.She couldn’t see a hint of his usual jolly self right then.The other maids were also surprised by his physical condition.Sebastian approached his mother wordlessly, kneeling humbly before her as his anger turned to anguish.“Mom, I’m begging you. Tell me where Rachel is.”He knew this reflected poorly on himself, but he couldn’t care less for Rachel Wood’s sake. As a man, his pride wasn't even worth mentioning right then.Her elegant expression remained unchanged
Chapter 2081
When Sebastian Brenand returned to his home once again, he picked up his broken phone and retrieved the SIM card within, and inserted it into another phone. He needed to find Rachel. To do that, he needed to contact the outside world, but not without a phone. After inserting the SIM card, he turned on the phone, and it immediately started ringing again. His mother had sent him a message on WeChat. It was a picture of Rachel Wood tied to a cross with fresh wounds on her body. Her face pale, Rachel had already passed out. This scene was like a knife to Sebastian’s heart, his mind going blank in an instant. Sebastian wanted to kill someone. Right then, his phone rang again. His mother had sent him a voice note. With trembling hands, he tapped on the screen. “If y
Chapter 2082
Sebastian Brenand was reluctant, but he still got up to brush his teeth. He didn’t even bother changing his clothes before leaving the house.He didn’t trim his beard, and he didn’t even brush his hair.Sebastian only hoped that the girl wouldn’t fall for him.For the last few days, he had been drinking. So now, he looked like a sluggish drunkard.He also lost some weight because he hadn’t eaten much. On top of that, his beard had grown even longer, appearing much more fragile like a patient.He could hear laughter when he walked into the Brenand family’s house.The woman his mother arranged for him to meet had arrived, now enjoying a conversation with his parents. They were seated by her side.Sebastian recognized her as his classmate from high school. Her name was Yvette Houston.After graduation, Yvette had gone abroad, and he hadn’t seen her since.When everyone in the house saw Sebastian, they were all shocked. Yvette’s jaw dropped for a second, unable to believe that the
