Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel 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. We’re only doing this for your own good.

“Men who get close to women like her would only face misfortunes in life. Once you return to your senses, you’ll thank us for all we’ve done for you,” she added.

Sebastian grew furious after hearing her words. “Shut up! Have I not done enough damage at home?”

“Sebastian, if you go crazy at home again, don’t blame us for hurting Rachel,” she warned.

Her warning enraged him further. He gritted his teeth, and his eyes were red. He was so angry that his entire body was trembling. “Will you only be happy if I die?”

“If you die, Rachel would never be able to return. We will bury her with you, along with her parents."

Sebastian was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.

“I don’t mind sending you Rachel’s head tomorrow,” his mother warned.

Her threats were the final blow to his restrained emotions as tears began streaming down his face.

He wanted to continue yelling at his mother, but he held back.

In the end, all his hateful words turned into a plea of humanity. “I’m begging you, don’t do this to me. Please, return Rachel to me. I'll do anything other than forcing us to break up and making me marry someone else!”

His pleas went unheeded as the call had already ended.

His mother made her stand very clear.

“Shit!” Sebastian cursed softly before flinging his phone to the ground.
