“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

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

“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

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.

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?

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.

Immediately after, the men in black pulled out guns from their pockets, which they aimed at Raymond’s head.Raymond panicked instantly, going pale.He subconsciously retreated a step back. “Who are you? Don’t you know what you’re doing is illegal?”Leon sneered. “You don’t deserve to know my name. In this city, I am the law.”Leon’s domineering words made him seem even more imposing.At this moment, Hannah felt as if he was a guardian angel sent from Heaven to protect her.Something about him seemed oddly sacred and heavenly.“Mr. Batton, do I shoot him in the head?” One of the men dressed in black asked.“Mr. Batton? Are you Stanley Batton’s son?!” Fear was beginning to spread through Raymond. For one to have Batton as his surname and act this arrogantly in Atlantis, he could be none other than a member of the renowned Batton family.“How dare you address our president by name?!” Another man in black leveled Raymond with a chilling glare.Suffice to say, Raymond was terrif

Stammering, she asked, “Mr. Gray… What is the meaning of this?” “What’s the meaning of this? Ha! Don’t you know what’s good for you? You dumb b*tch… You’re lucky that I set my sights on you!”“How dare you refuse my feelings! Not just that, but you even made up a story to deceive me!”“Even when you saw me, you tried to trick me again!”“Do you think I’m stupid? That I can’t think?

A handsome waiter quickly walked in and looked at Rihanna. “Ms. Jensen, Mr. Gray out there insists that Hannah should get on stage to sing another song. I told him that Hannah would only sing three songs today…”“He lost his temper and claimed he’d destroy our bar if Hannah refuses to sing another song…” The waiter added. He was visibly trembling by the end of the sentence.Hannah figured Mr. Gray was probably the only son of the new mayor of Atlantis there weren’t many people with Gray as their surname in Atlantis. There were even less people who were arrogant like him. He was the only one.Hannah had heard about how terrible this person could be. He was known to be a womanizer too.Due to his powerful background, he looked down on everyone else. He didn’t respect women at all… Moreover, he had a relatively cruel personality.

Hannah Roland smiled without saying anything.***Hannah arrived at the bar where she worked at seven o’clock the next evening and walked into Rihanna Jensen’s office.Rihanna was going through paperwork in her office. When she saw Hannah, she immediately stood up and smiled at her. “Hannah, you’re here…”“Here’s the contract…” Rihanna said before pushing a thick stack of paper to the center of the table.Hannah quickly stepped forward and skimmed through the document. She then picked up a pen and signed it…Rihanna smiled upon seeing this. “Okay… I’ll transfer the money into your account tonight… I’ve told our big boss about your situation. He’s fine with my decision to pay your salary in advance.
