Woodrow Gaston was about to speak when Yvette Houston spoke first. "Hello, who is this? Sebastian is drunk." He promptly hung up when he heard her voice, guessing that the woman must've been Sebastian Brenand's wife. Rachel Wood had mentioned her earlier.

He knew that the wife would try to mess things up if she found out why he called.

Yvette frowned and cursed at the phone upon realizing that the call had ended. She then tossed the phone aside, not thinking much about it as she turned around to leave the study. After she left, the room quietened down again.

Woodrow gave up upon hearing that Sebastian was drunk, deciding to try again the next morning.

After making up his mind, he pocketed his phone and then walked into his room, took a shower, and slept after setting an alarm for seven o'clock in the morning.

As soon as he woke up, he hastily redialed Sebastian's number.

Sebastian had just woken up at his desk coincidentally, still feeling slightly dizzy and wearing a weary look on his face.

Seeing his phone light up with an unfamiliar number, he frowned slightly before picking up the call.

"Who is this?" His voice was extremely hoarse because he was still hungover and exhausted.

"Hello, I'm Woodrow Gaston. You're Sebastian Brenand, aren't you?" a male voice said.

"Yes, I am. Who are you?"

"I'm Rachel's ex-classmate. Rachel is with me right now."

A mixture of joy and relief exploded in Sebastian's chest when he heard that. Suddenly, it felt wonderful to be alive in this world.

It seemed almost as if a ray of hope was shining on him.

Springing to his feet, Sebastian couldn't contain the joy in his heart. "What? Are you for real?"

"Yes," Woodrow said hesitantly. "But she's encountered some terrible stuff. I'll say this to you first. If you choose to be with her, then you can come. Otherwise, you can choose not to. I'll do what Rachel asked me to. I'll give her a new identity so that she could start a brand new life.

"I also won't tell her that I called you," he added.

Sebastian's heart sank when he heard this, beginning to feel insecure. Could Rachel have encountered something so terrifying?

At that moment, he couldn't suppress his desire to kill anymore.

'Evil!'

"They're truly evil!' he thought.

He would never think that Rachel was tainted. Instead, he felt extremely sorry for her.

He'd secretly decided that he wanted to have nothing to do with his parents from that very moment.

"So, what's your decision?" Woodrow asked.

"Give me your address," he said firmly.

"I'll send you a text."

With that, Woodrow hung up the phone before sending over his address.

Sebastian made a mental note of it before putting on his coat and running out of his study.

With adrenaline pumping, he wanted to see Rachel as soon as possible.

He wanted to tell her that he didn't mind her past at all.
