Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2106

Sebastian Brenand looked around him, feeling nothing but loneliness.

Rachel Wood's shadows were everywhere in this house, making him think of her wherever he looked.

To numb his pain, he directly opened a bottle of red wine next to him and drained it.

He drank one bottle after another. However, apart from feeling dizzy, he didn't feel anything else.

His mind was still alert, and his heart still ached.

The more he drank, the more he missed her.

'D*mn it! What the hell am I living for?'

'Am I still Sebastian Brenand?'

'Where did the old Sebastian, who did whatever he wanted, go?'

His parents had killed that man.

Would they only come to their senses after he died?

He just wanted to die.

However, he couldn't even kill himself because Rachel was in their hands.

It was hell on earth.

He knew he'd go insane if this continued.

When would he finally be free from this?

He finally passed out after a few bottles of red wine, laying sprawled out on the table without any strength left.

It was as if his soul had been sucked out of him because of the alcohol.

Beep, beep, beep-

Right then, his phone started ringing from an unknown number.

However, Sebastian was so drunk he didn't even open his eyes to look at his phone.

On the other end of the call, Woodrow Gaston was sitting on the couch with his phone in hand, waiting for Sebastian to pick up.

It rang for a long time, but nobody answered.

In the end, Woodrow hung up and tried several more times with the same outcome.

Frowning deeply, he murmured to himself. "I finally decided to call him, so why isn't he picking up?"

In any case, he still felt that he

should tell Sebastian that Rachebet

Wood was with him. He also

intended to tell him everything that happened to her.

He felt that it was the best thing for his friend since she loved Sebastian that much she'd sacrifice everything for him. If they split up like this, Rachel would surely be unhappy to live in the shadows forever

So, Woodrow went to his colle

and found Sebastian's phone number through the police station's internal system before calling him on the phone.

At first, he thought Sebastian would answer the call quickly and come to pick Rachel up, but he didn't expect the call to go unanswered.

He supposed Sebastian, as a wealthy and successful man, must've been too occupied with work not to notice his call.

He decided to try again later.

Meanwhile, Rachel was still sound asleep in the room, oblivious about any of this.

Woodrow waited until one o'clock in the morning before calling Sebastian again.

Right then, Sebastian was still sleeping with his upper body sprawled out on the desk.

His phone kept ringing, but he didn't react at all.

Woodrow didn't give up, calling repeatedly.

Sebastian's phone rang non-stop, but he was already sleeping like a log and couldn't hear anything.

Yvette Houston walked into the room slowly, noticing his ringing phone. She hastily picked it up to glance at it, noting the unfamiliar number.

She naturally answered but remained silent as she slowly draped a blanket over Sebastian's body.

On the other end of the call, Woodrow was relieved to see that someone had finally picked up his call.
