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

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

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

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

The Houston family was also wealthy, but they weren’t as well off as the Brenand family in many aspects.The Brenands were deemed as well connected in this age where 'it's not what you know, but who you know that matters'.If the Houstons could be connected to the Brenands by marriage, the Houston family’s situation would improve drastically.For the sake of her family, glory, and all the benefits that came along with it, Yvette Houston believed that getting married to Sebastian Brenand was her best option.It was mutually beneficial for both the Brenand family and the Houston family, where they could support each other and overcome any obstacles together.It didn't matter whether Sebastian had feelings for her or not.Children from wealthy families seldom had the freedom to choose their partners anyway, sacrificing their happiness for the greater good of their family.Yvette knew why Sebastian showed up in a disheveled mess; there was a woman he loved deeply.But, so what?Hi

“How did it go? Did you get acquainted? If you both like each other, shall we start preparing for the wedding?” Sebastian Brenand’s mother asked.Yvette Houston smiled. “I quite like him.”Sebastian forced a grim smile but didn’t respond. He only hoped that he could find Rachel before the wedding.The Houstons stayed for dinner, both families chatting until late into the night before they finally left.Sebastian was forced to linger.His mother led him by the hand to the hall, with his father following closely behind after sending the Houstons off.His parents dropped the facade and reverted to their cold unsmiling expressions as soon as they settled on the couch.His mother gazed unhappily at him. “Didn’t I tell you to groom yourself before coming over? Did you assume that Yvette won’t fall for you because of the way you look?”Sebastian sneered. “All right, you’ve already accomplished your objective. What’s all the yapping for?”His patience was wearing thin. He would have s
Chapter 2085
Bruises covered Rachel Wood’s trembling body, her eyes widening with fear as tears drenched her face repeatedly.She couldn’t speak because of the tape over her mouth.During her time here, she'd overheard that the people responsible for her condition were planning to do something to her.She knew that they were sending her somewhere far away and sold to a man who lived in the mountains.She would never be able to return to Atlantis or return to Sebastian Brenand in this lifetime.Rachel wanted to escape but couldn’t.

Moreover, she also showed that she genuinely made up her min
Chapter 2086
Rachel Wood was unconscious throughout the entire process.After getting into the helicopter, several people quickly tied her up, making her even more of a sitting duck while unconscious.“Hey guys, she looks decent. Since she’s going to be raped anyway, why don’t we do it first?” one of the men dressed in black suggested. He had a depraved look on his face, already drooling at the sight of Rachel’s beauty. He wanted to sample a taste of the woman Sebastian Brenand loved deeply.She ought to taste good.“I want to as well,” another man said, whose appearance was equally depraved.As soon as they finished speaking, a few of the other men behind them simultaneously smacked them on their heads.Those men started speaking—“Are you both crazy? We should avoid stirring up any trouble. We should make this delivery as soon as possible, of course.”“What if we get delayed? Do you know what the consequences are?”“Do you want to die because of a woman? I’m sorry, but I don’t want to
