“Fine then…” Sebastian Brenand nodded helplessly.
A while ago, Sebastian bought Rachel Wood’s parents a luxury villa here behind her back…
It was the most high-class detached villa in a small neighborhood. With a seaside view, it was gorgeous.
At first, Sebastian wanted to give Rachel and her parents a surprise.
In the end, her parents refused. Their reason was that they didn’t want a change in the environment.
Hence, the house had been left empty all this while.
Although Sebastian felt helpless, he could understand the two old folks after thinking about it carefully.
To be fair, it was normal for people not to want to move once they got older.
Having lived with the old neighbors in the area for a long time, they’d develop bonds too.
When Rachel and Sebastian arrived at home, Rachel’s parents were both there…
The two of them looked awful.
Rachel’s mother greeted her and Sebastian. She sat in front of the coffee table where Rachel’s father sat and started pouring them glasses of water…
Sebastian looked at Rachel’s parents. “Uncle, did those law enforcers speak to you like that? It’s inconceivable…”
“That person looked like a temporary worker. Anyway, he didn’t seem like he wanted to get involved. I tried to reason with him, but he said I was yelling at him. He even said that I’d be fined 600,000 dollars for yelling at him… Then, on the basis that I was an old person, he decided to let me off the hook… He asked me to leave and not bug them…” Rachel’s father explained.
When Sebastian heard this, he became even angrier. “D*mn. Does he think he’s the president? Would someone have to pay 600,000 dollars for yelling at him? Besides, I’m sure you didn’t yell at him, did you?”
Rachel’s father shook his head. “I didn’t. I was simply dissatisfied and tried to reason with him… I feel that what he said didn’t make sense. Searching for evidence is their job. Why must I do it?”
“They probably think it’s easy to bully you. But, you can leave this to Rachel and me,” Sebastian said.
