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

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

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
Chapter 2087
All four men in the family seemed mentally unstable. They were staring at Rachel Wood with lascivious and possessive looks. Then, they started laughing together, sounding annoying and creepy to Rachel's ears.She began to feel incredibly disturbed.Soon, the oldest man approached her before quickly retrieving a stack of money to hand over to one of the men dressed in black.Rachel managed to catch a glimpse of the stack of money and counted approximately 3,000 dollars.She chuckled to herself.It turned out she was only worth 3,000 dollars to Sebastian Bernand's parents.The man in black silently put the money away.After that, he and the others tossed Rachel on the ground before walking away.An intense feeling of fear began to spread through her body.She wanted to scream, but her mouth was gagged.Her limbs were also tied up so tightly, she couldn’t even budge.Rachel was terrified. She didn’t have any other option apart from waiting for her death sentence.Her life ha

The bed in the room wasn’t the usual type Rachel Wood had seen before. It was the kind of brick bed that could only be seen in books and television dramas.The bed was so cold that it made Rachel feel even chillier upon laying on it.She struggled again, but it didn’t help.She began to cry silently, knowing she was doomed.She was about to be violated.Sebastian Brenand’s parents were going to strip Rachel of her pride and everything along with it.She would end up like other girls who were kidnapped and sold to places like this.No! She didn’t want this!‘Sebastian, where are you? Sebastian!’ Rachel thought frantically.Then, the three younger men left the room, leaving behind the old man in his eighties.He didn’t untie her.

She wanted to kill him, but she couldn’t.After the old man finished, the others came in one after another to take their turn.Rachel truly wa
Chapter 2089
Rachel Wood never liked it when Sebastian Brenand drank when she was around. He nearly quit drinking for Rachel’s sake even though he enjoyed it.He rarely touched alcohol if he could help it unless he was hanging out with friends.Lately, however, he had been drinking nearly every day. Without the numbing effect of alcohol, he probably might have died from the pain in his heart.For this very reason, Sebastian seemed to have gotten addicted to alcohol. He’d have panic attacks and feel out of breath whenever he stopped like nothing felt right.Opening another bottle of red wine, he began drinking from the bottle. He used to drink red wine for the sake of enjoyment in the past, but now he thought of it as a way of venting out.It didn't matter if the wine tasted fine or whether it aged well. All he cared about was to get drunk and forget for a while.After finishing another bottle of wine, Sebastian tossed the bottle to the ground, breaking it into pieces.However, he still was
