Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2073

Xyla Quest was rather fond of Rachel Wood, despite not spending much time with her before.

They got along quite well when they met. Xyla hoped nothing had happened to her.

"Look, Rachel was crying when she wrote this letter. I don't know if you've noticed, but here's a tear mark," Xyla said, pointing to a faint smudge on the letter. "What does this mean? It means she was reluctant to leave you and possibly forced to do so."

Sebastian Brenand immediately grabbed the letter to scrutinize it.

Indeed, he managed to see the tear mark under the light.

At that point, he became extremely upset as he found Xyla's analysis made sense.

His parents must have forced Rachel to leave him. That was the better scenario.

In another, Rachel could be locked up somewhere or worse.

The more he thought about it, the more upset he felt. His knees were so weak, he might fall at any second.

Seeing his reaction, Xyla slowly got out of bed and gently touched his arm. "These are all just my guesses. Perhaps, your parents only made her leave. They might not have done anything to her.

"I'm only saying that you should check with them just in case. You wouldn't want this to be something you regret forever," she added.

Sebastian nodded. "Yes, I understand."

Turning to look at her husband, she told him, "Honey, help Sebastian out. Tell your people to replace Rachel no matter what."

Stanley Batton nodded. "Okay."

Then, he called Zack Cassidy to tell him what happened.

Meanwhile, Sebastian sat nearby with a sullen expression as he spoke to the police and his subordinates on the phone.

It was the first time he felt so frantic apart from when Rachel's life was in danger He couldn't imagine what would become of him if he and

Rachel were to part ways for good.

"Sebastian, the things I mentioned I are hypothetical circumstances. Rachel might have left for other reasons, too. Anyway, nothing is certain until the investigation is complete," Xyla said.

His parents were the most likely suspects for Rachel's departure, but nothing is concrete without collecting any evidence.

Suspicion was one thing, but forming a conclusion was another.

Sebastian took a deep breath before smiling bitterly. "Yeah, but I am convinced it must be them."

"Other than my parents, there's no other reason why Rachel would leave me."

With that, his eyes filled with tears again. Lifting his head, he tried to hold them back to no avail.

He stood up weakly. "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

"Nothing much, except I just wanted you to be more open-minded. Don't worry too much. Worrying won't help. Make sure you eat well. Everything will be fine." Xyla was trying to reassure him.

Sebastian nodded helplessly.

Everyone knew how to give advice, but how could one control their own emotions?

Rachel was the only woman he ever loved with all his heart. It was the first time he wanted to spend the rest of his life with someone.

Sebastian hadn't even had the chance to give her the world, but she had already left him.

How could he not worry?

Seeing Sebastian like that made Xyla feel uncomfortable.

They had been friends for a very long time, and she already considered him as family.

After releasing a long sigh, Xyla turned to gaze at Stanley. "Honey, spend more time with Sebastian for the next two days. Don't worry about me."
