Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2071

Stanley Batton instantly answered when he saw the caller was Sebastian Brenand. "What's up?"

"Rachel Wood is missing," Sebastian said without much preamble, sounding very worried.

Stanley could even sense his desperation through the phone.

Frowning deeply, he asked, "When did she go missing?"

"She's been gone since last night," Sebastian answered. "All she left behind was a letter, telling me not to look for her. I only saw the letter after my meeting, but she might have left it in the morning.

"I don't know what time exactly she left because the indoor surveillance cameras lost signal in the morning while the exterior ones also failed to capture Rachel leaving. I've searched for her at the airport and train stations. I've looked everywhere. There were no signs that Rachel left," he added in desperation.

Hearing this, Xyla Quest moved closer to Stanley's phone with a shocked expression.

"What else was in the letter? Did she tell you why?" Stanley asked.

Sebastian took a deep breath, his voice becoming even hoarser. "She said we weren't compatible and that she would leave quietly without a trace."

Stanley and Xyla subconsciously exchanged glances.

Rachel Wood and Sebastian had visited the family when their children came home the day before. At the time, they seemed very intimate.

Rachel hadn't shown signs that she would leave him, so why did this suddenly happen?

Xyla immediately took the phone from Stanley. "Where are you now?"

"I'm at the police station, getting some help to look for Rachel," he answered.

"Come to us, I have something to tell you. Bring Rachel's letter along," she told him.

"Okay."

Hanging up the call, Xyla gazed at her husband. "This is unusual. There's definitely something fishy going on."

Stanley frowned. "Yeah."

"I think this matter is probably related to his parents," she expressed after some consideration.

Stanley was still frowning and didn't reply. He agreed with her line of thought.

Based on what they knew,

Sebastian's parents had never agreed to their relationship. They even hid his personal documents so that he couldn't officially take Rachel as his wife.

Meanwhile, Sebastian had kept all this from Rachel so that she wouldn't be upset, only coming up with excuses that his parents were too busy to see her and that they were both abroad. Ebookex.com

Now that this suddenly happened, Xyla and Stanley couldn't think of anyone else apart from Sebastian's parents.

Thinking about their entire situation made Xyla frown deeply once again.

Approximately half an hour later, Sebastian arrived.

It had only been a day since they last saw him, but he had already transformed completely.
