Sebastian Brenand’s father was also fuming as he began to pant deeply. “Hmph! It must be Rachel. I won’t let her go. He must’ve turned out like this because of her.”
His mother gritted her teeth. “Yeah, that must be it. Sebastian had never acted like this before, no matter how bad he was in the past. All this for a woman? I can’t believe it.”
Sebastian still hadn’t calmed down after leaving the house.
He forcefully kicked a rubbish bin outside the door and sent it flying, trash spilling all over the floor.
The maids in the courtyard were shocked to see this, particularly after they couldn't help but eavesdrop on what went on inside the house as they were cleaning earlier.
Sebastian had completely cut off ties with his parents over a woman.
The maids were all terrified, not even daring to breathe too loudly.
Sebastian didn’t look at anyone as he stormed out, quickly getting into his car to drive away.
With rage still burning inside him, he floored the accelerator to speed up.

Meanwhile, it was peaceful in Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton’s house.
It was a stark contrast to the mess in the Brenands' house.
It was warm and soothing inside, and things ran smoothly.
Sharon Lindt, Wilson Batton, Stanley, and the nannies were keeping an eye on the children in the nursery.
There were sounds of laughter.
