Rachel Wood frowned slightly as she looked at Sebastian Brenand. “Sorry, Mr. Brenand. I’ve already clearly explained what I needed to.”With that, she quickly walked over to the sidewalk and waved her hand for a taxi.Just before she opened the car door, Sebastian picked her up by her waist before chucking her into his black Bentley. He then buckled her seatbelt to keep her in the seat.After that, Sebastian got in from the other side and locked the door. He then stepped on the accelerator and drove quickly away.Everyone standing at the hotel’s main entrance was shocked by what they had just witnessed.“It feels like this powerful man is submissive to Rachel.”“He must love her with all his heart. Was he driving a Bentley? That must cost at least ten million dollars, right?”“Rachel’s really impressive. She has actually managed to find such a powerful man, and she got him under a leash too.”“She’s probably going to marry into a rich family at this rate.”Rachel’s ex-classmat
“Sigh. I really envy Rachel Wood. The car her man drives already cost over ten million dollars. I bet he has a significant amount of fixed assets…”“As long as Rachel gets married to him, she’d probably be able to earn a year’s worth of live stream income with just some pocket money from him, right?”Wennishe Sonders felt as if their words were like stakes piercing through her chest.However, she couldn’t argue against them. Instead, she lowered her head and quickly turned around before running away.After everyone watched her leave, they began maliciously attacking her with verbal comments.“She deserved it for being so arrogant. The things she said during the meal were awful.”“There’s a saying that no matter how good you are, there’s always someone better.”“Although Rachel managed to find such a good man, she still kept a low-profile. Clearly, we can tell who’s the better person between them.”***On a busy road, a black Bentley was speeding ahead of the rest of the cars.
“He’s a doctor. I met him while I was recovering in the hospital. After leaving you, I went to another country. But when I arrived, I found everything unfamiliar and difficult to get used to. That’s why I returned, and I met him after that. We got along right away… And decided to get married in a heartbeat,” Rachel Wood enunciated each word slowly and carefully.“You’re a player!” Sebastian Brenand said through gritted teeth.When Sebastian thought about how he found it difficult to fall asleep on certain nights while Rachel was having fun with some other man, he felt the urge to strangle her to death.“Yeah… You should know that a woman like me is a player… Aren’t you a little too naïve? Did you believe me when I told you I loved you? To be honest, I only said those things so that I could leave you in peace. I was afraid you wouldn’t let go. That’s why I said all those things,” Rachel said as she tried to hold her tears back.She was on the verge of breaking down emotionally, but
Outside the car, a thundering sound was heard.Heavy rain began to fall.Suddenly, the entire city became a blurry mess, just like their emotions right then.“Since you don’t have any feelings for me, why did you cry when you saw me the other day?” Sebastian Brenand asked helplessly.“I recalled the horrible times when I was with you. I was so disgusted that I started crying…” Rachel Wood answered.Sebastian snorted coldly and unlocked the car without looking at her again.Outside, the rain was still pouring.Rachel opened the car door without hesitation and ran out to stand by the road while she waited for a taxi in the rain.Sebastian immediately closed the car door before glaring out at Rachel. “I hope you die in the storm!” he cursed in a deep voice before turning the car engine on and driving away…Meanwhile, Rachel stood where she was in the rain and waited for a taxi to show up.However, not a single vehicle was in sight.The ice-cold rain pattering against her skin w
Rachel Wood knew Sebastian Brenand was only doing this because he was still reluctant to let her go.Could a womanizer like Sebastian be capable of feeling deep emotions too?Unfortunately, he felt this way a little too late…They were destined never to be together.Sebastian drove Rachel to her building.Rachel tried to open the car door without saying anything, but it didn’t work.She turned around to look at Sebastian. “Mr. Brenand… The door…”“If I’m not mistaken, this is your parents’ place, isn’t it? Why are you still living with your parents if you’ve already gotten married? Can’t your husband afford to buy a house?” Sebastian was throwing shade at Rachel’s husband.“He can, but I wanted to spend a few days with my parents. Is that a problem?” Rachel said blandly.“Hehe… Now, I finally believe the saying that b*tches have no feelings. There’s no point in putting up a show anymore,” Sebastian said through gritted teeth.The word ‘b*tch’ was like a stake piercing through
From the rearview mirror, Sebastian Brenand could see Rachel Wood’s housing block disappearing into the distance, just like how she was…Rachel taught him how to love, and she turned his world upside down. But after that, she cruelly left him.Perhaps, Sebastian was never meant to live everyday life with his other half.Maybe he should just be the womanizer he had always been, enjoying good food and alcohol while sleeping with beauties. There wouldn’t be any mention of love.Love was a poisonous thing that could break someone’s heart. A single encounter was enough to throw one off the rails.Upstairs, Rachel watched Sebastian drive away from the window. She suddenly felt her phone vibrating.Dr. Orsen’s name appeared on the screen.Rachel took a deep breath and wiped her tears away so that she would feel calmer. “Dr. Orsen… What’s up?”“I just finished operating a surgery. After that, I noticed that you’ve already received the parcel I sent you…” Dr. Orsen said.“Yeah… The mar
Jeremy Quest patiently introduced each of them.Xyla Quest stood up and shook their hands one at a time.After that, she sat down.Jeremy then picked up the three blueprints and looked at Xyla. “Xyla… What do you think of these three blueprints Emily has drawn?”Did Emily Quest draw these?Xyla couldn’t help but laugh at the thought, but she didn’t show it. “Did you draw these?” She turned to look at Emily.Emily continued to act as if she was very depressed as she nodded. “Yeah, I did…”“Your daughter’s work is of very high quality. In fact, these blueprints look very similar to the works of the famously talented designer, Lily. President Quest, you’re lucky to have such a good daughter…” Matt complimented.“Xyla, what do you think?” Jeremy asked.“Xyla… Your sister’s designs were even complimented by the internationally renowned architectural designer, Lily,” May Conner added.“Lily?” Xyla seemed shocked.“Yeah… You know Lily, don’t you? She’s a new superstar in the world
After that, Jeremy Quest turned to look at Xyla again. “Xyla, what do you think?”He wanted to get Xyla Quest’s opinion on the matter.“I think we can give it a try… If it doesn’t work, Emily can come home. That’s all, right? Besides, she hasn’t won anyway. We can discuss it when she wins…” Xyla said.Emily smiled satisfactorily, but her smile soon disappeared, and she seemed depressed as she did before.“Let’s do as Xyla suggests…” Jeremy said.May Conner immediately smiled happily. She continued to hold Jeremy’s hand and rested her head against his shoulder while looking at Xyla.“Xyla, wouldn’t it have been great if you had studied architecture just like your sister? If you did, you could be designing blueprints with your sister now…” May said.While complimenting Emily, May didn’t forget to insult Xyla. Xyla felt amused, just witnessing that.“Honey, I think we should make this a big deal. Why don’t we invite three celebrities from the architectural field to judge them once
