Chapter 2071

Stanley Batton instantly answered when he saw the caller was Sebastian Brenand. “What’s up?”“Rachel Wood is missing,” Sebastian said without much preamble, sounding very worried.Stanley could even sense his desperation through the phone.Frowning deeply, he asked, “When did she go missing?”“She’s been gone since last night," Sebastian answered. "All she left behind was a letter, telling me not to look for her. I only saw the letter after my meeting, but she might have left it in the morning.“I don’t know what time exactly she left because the indoor surveillance cameras lost signal in the morning while the exterior ones also failed to capture Rachel leaving. I’ve searched for her at the airport and train stations. I’ve looked everywhere. There were no signs that Rachel left,” he added in desperation.Hearing this, Xyla Quest moved closer to Stanley’s phone with a shocked expression.“What else was in the letter? Did she tell you why?” Stanley asked.Sebastian took a deep br

Sebastian Brenand was now sporting a messy, untrimmed beard, appearing exhausted.He handed his letter over to Xyla Quest the moment he walked in. “Here, what did you want to tell me?”With that, he promptly reached for a chair, placing it next to Xyla and Stanley Batton’s bed before sinking down on it.Xyla stayed in bed and directly opened Rachel Wood’s letter, noticing a dried tear mark in the center of a red flower at the bottom right of the paper.It was indicative of how heartbroken Rachel had been as she wrote this letter.However, the mark was faint, so no one would notice it with a single glance.Frowning deeply, she peered at Sebastian. “Before Rachel left, did anything happen between the two of you? Or did Rachel show any odd behavior?”Sebastian shook his head. “No, everything was fine between us. We went shopping after leaving your place the other day, and then she asked me to take her out to a fancy place for dinner. "After dinner, she was very affectionate and g

Chapter 2073

Xyla Quest was rather fond of Rachel Wood, despite not spending much time with her before. They got along quite well when they met. Xyla hoped nothing had happened to her.“Look, Rachel was crying when she wrote this letter. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but here’s a tear mark," Xyla said, pointing to a faint smudge on the letter. "What does this mean? It means she was reluctant to leave you and possibly forced to do so.”Sebastian Brenand immediately grabbed the letter to scrutinize it.Indeed, he managed to see the tear mark under the light.At that point, he became extremely upset as he found Xyla’s analysis made sense.His parents must have forced Rachel to leave him. That was the better scenario. In another, Rachel could be locked up somewhere or worse.The more he thought about it, the more upset he felt. His knees were so weak, he might fall at any second.Seeing his reaction, Xyla slowly got out of bed and gently touched his arm. “These are all just my guesses. Per

Xyla Quest had many people by her side, but Sebastian Brenand was all alone.She sensed that Stanley Batton would want to spend time with Sebastian since they were good friends.Stanley instantly felt warmth flowing from his heart at her words, glad that his wife could understand him.With a troubled frown, he nodded wordlessly in agreement.Right then, Sebastian also felt warmth in his heart. Forcing a smile, he looked at Xyla. “Thank you, Xyla. You’re a beautiful and kind soul.”“Don’t mention it.”Stanley left with Sebastian not long after.At first, Xyla wanted to use her hacking skills to help him shed some light on some scenarios. She could hack into his parents’ surveillance system and phones to check if they’d contacted Rachel Wood.However, Stanley had already informed Zack Cassidy to do so.It was a simple task, so Xyla didn’t need to go the extra mile.The person Zack hired would find out everything even if she didn’t do anything.Xyla sat for a while until soon e

“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.

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
