Sebastian’s gaze went cold. “Relax, Serena. I’ll take care of it.”

“Good.” Serena flicked a look at Rachel, who was curled at her feet. “She’s your problem now. And if she ever shows her face again to cause trouble…”

She pressed her foot down a bit harder. Rachel let out a scream.

“She won’t,” Sebastian said flatly. “I give you my word.”

Soon, IBI’s people arrived. Serena handed Rachel over.

She couldn’t help tossing out a few sharp comments.

“IBI is really something now. You can’t even control your own people.” Serena crossed her arms, leaning against the door as an agent cuffed Rachel. “If our boss weren’t capable, she’d be dead by now.”

The head of the Operations Department, there to take custody of Rachel, looked embarrassed. He forced a smile. “You’re right, Ms. Wynn. This is on us.”

“On you?” Serena raised an eyebrow. “Sounds more like someone let it slide on purpose. Everyone at IBI knows Rachel’s little crush on Sebastian, don’t they?”

Sweat broke out on his forehead. He didn’t dare say a word.

“Hmph. We’ll let it slide this time,” Serena said coldly. “But if our boss gets hurt even a little again, Alliance 749 will come asking questions.”

“Yes, yes, of course.” The Operations Department’s head nodded quickly and hurried everyone away.

As the IBI car drove off, Serena pulled out her phone and sent a message to the Alliance 749 group chat.

“Sweethearts, IBI handled it. And Sebastian looks reliable. He’s dead serious about Noey.”

The chat exploded.

“Serena, did he bribe you? Why are you backing him now?”

“Exactly! IBI’s full of rotten apples!”

“They stole our boss away! I’ll hate them forever!”

Serena watched the messages pour in and laughed.

Rachel was taken back to IBI.

Sebastian didn’t rush to punish her. Instead, he locked her in an isolation room.

At first, she stayed proud. But after days without food or water in a damp, pitch–black cell, she finally cracked and slammed on the

door.

“Let me out! Do you know who I am? My father earned honors for [BI!”

No one answered.

She clung to her arrogance. Sebastian said nothing, only ordered food delivered.

It came in a dirty, chipped bowl. It looked like dog food.

Rachel stared at the filthy bowl on the floor. The smell was sour and rotten. Her whole body shook with rage.

“Sebastian! How dare you treat me like this?!”

She screamed and kicked the bowl over. The foul slop splashed everywhere.

A guard’s cold voice sounded from outside. “If you don’t eat, then starve.“.

“I’d rather starve to death than eat that!” she yelled.

Silence followed.

No matter how much Rachel screamed, no one replied.

For two more days, the guards brought the same “dog food.” At first, she refused to eat. But after so long without eating, she finally broke.

She grabbed the cracked bowl and wolfed it down like a beast.

“Mr. Menzie, Mrs. Menzie, Rachel has eaten,” the guard reported.

Noelle was curled up in Sebastian’s arms, popping grapes into her mouth. She smiled. “Looks like Dr. Bourn’s pride wasn’t that tough.”

She thinks she’s above everyone. Yet she still ate.

“Let’s go take a look,”

Sebastian slipped an arm around Noelle and headed to the isolation room.

When the door opened, Rachel was crouched in the corner, clutching the broken bowl and shoveling food into her mouth.

She froze when she saw Sebastian. Then she spotted Noelle, and hatred burned in her eyes.

“Noelle! You bitch–”

Smack!

Before she could finish, a guard snapped a whip across her mouth.
