Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel 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 despite seeing him pleading like this.

She gently touched the expensive diamond ring on her right hand after slowly setting down the glass full of milk in her hand. She then gazed at Sebastian. “Look at you! What have you put yourself through for a woman? Hmm?”

Was a sl*t like Rachel worth it?

Sebastian continued to suppress his anger. “Please, I’m begging you. I can’t live without Rachel.”

She smiled humorlessly with an indescribable coldness in her eyes. “There’s no use begging me. You only need to listen to us this time. I won’t stop you from seeing her, honestly. You just have to wait until you’re married with children.

“I know you and Stanley are doing everything you can to find Rachel, but it’s pointless. You'll never find her as she's in a place you’d never think of. There isn’t a single trace of her left,” she added, smiling confidently.

She seemed to be in full control, insinuating that Sebastian was wasting his time.

He struggled to get free, but nothing worked.

“Mom, I’m begging you. Mom!” Sebastian cried out with all his might, but she didn't even spare him a glance as he was dragged out of the house.

The bodyguards left him out in the rain, shutting the doors behind them.

Sebastian hopelessly entered his car, wearing a frown. He sat there, leaning against his seat as he looked out at the chaotic world, reluctant to leave right away.

He missed Rachel a lot.

He felt like he would go insane as he thought about how much she was suffering. At this moment, he found himself wishing he had superpowers and could find Rachel immediately.

The doors to his parents' house remained shut after sitting in his car for a while, so he directly turned around and left.
