"Not much. I just want you to get Sebastian to pick up his phone," Sebastian Brenand's mother said.

Rachel Wood honestly couldn't be bothered to say another word to her.

Feeling physically disgusted, she frowned and walked downstairs with her phone, handing it over to Sebastian before returning upstairs without a word. He recognized the phone number. "Why did you call Rachel?"

"You wouldn't pick up. I had no choice but to call her instead," his mother replied.

"Didn't Rachel give you a piece of her mind?" he said, sneering.

"No, she didn't even say anything to me. She was rather rude," she scoffed with a look of contempt as she spoke about her daughter-in-law. Fury overcame Sebastian at her words.

"Can you still recall what you did to her? Ignoring you is the kindest thing she could do to you. Have you no shame?" he snickered with disgust.

"Also, I don't care what you're trying to do. All I want to tell you is to stop contacting us. We are no longer related," he spat out before hanging up.

He then blocked the number and walked up the stairs with the phone.

Meanwhile, memories of what Rachel experienced when she had been sold to the small, mountainous village began to plague her after hearing her mother-in-law's voice. The scenes were like a stake through her heart.

She felt physical pain.

Unable to bear it, she curled up into a ball in an attempt to comfort herself.

She could see nothing but all the filthy scenes when she closed her eyes.

Sebastian caught this when he entered the bedroom.

His heart instantly ached. He then slowly approached Rachel and gently rubbed her back. "Did she say something to you?"

His eyes filled with hatred as he spoke.

She shook her head. "No, I just remembered some past events."

His heart broke for her all over again.

He understood why she reacted that way.

He tenderly pulled her into his arms and gently caressed her hair. "Stop thinking about those things, okay? I'm sorry that woman reminded you of those unhappy thoughts again," he whispered.

He wished he didn't have a mother like that woman, then Rachel would never have been hurt like that.

However, she shook her head vehemently. "It isn't your fault. Honestly, the problem is me. I can't forget those things."

"It's not your fault," he insisted.

Sometimes, he felt sorry for how tough Rachel was.

That very thought made him call his mother directly.

Before she could say anything, he began yelling. "I'm warning you. If you ever disturb Rachel again, I will disappear from this world

completely. But before I do, I will make sure you and my father die with me. We'll all die together."

His eyes were cold and hard as he yelled.
