Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2100

The police officer seemed shocked. “What’s the matter? Are you worried I might make a mess in your house? Why did you suddenly change your mind about going inside?”

He was excited to go inside and look around as a new experience. Coming from a small town, he’d never been anywhere that was as luxurious.

However, Rachel Wood hastily shook her head. “No, I don’t want to go inside anymore. Can you please take me to Merlin Avenue?”

The officer had a surprised look in his eyes. “Why don’t you want to go inside?”

Wouldn’t an ordinary person want to return home right after a traumatic experience?

Why did Rachel refuse to go home?

She was even crying.

“I have my reasons. Please, I’m begging you,” she implored, wiping her tears away.

The officer nodded slightly, giving one last lingering gaze at the house before driving away.

When they were on the road, Rachel spotted a black Bentley driving towards them.

The car had a familiar registration number. It was a series of nines.

It was Sebastian Brenand’s car.

He was sitting inside.

Panicking at the thought, she instantly laid flat on her seat, afraid that he might see her as their cars drove past each other.

Inside the Bentley, Sebastian was yelling at his subordinate over the phone. “It’s been so long, and you still haven’t found Rachel. What are you doing? You can all pack up and leave if this goes on!”

As he drove past the police car, he noticed that it wasn’t the local police. He unintentionally glanced at it but didn’t allow his gaze to linger.

All her friends from before had left Atlantis, except for this guy who would still keep in touch and whose phone number she could still remember easily.

She could recall the last time they chatted on WeChat that this was where he lived.

The phone call soon connected. “Hey, it’s Rachel Wood. I’m at Merlin Avenue. Do you still live here? Could you do me a favor?”

The person answered her decisively. “Okay, sure. “Where are you? I’ll come to you right now.”

Rachel took a deep breath and told him where she was before thanking the police officer and getting out of the car.

Once the police officer was gone, she waited eagerly for her ex-classmate to arrive.

Many people were walking in and out of the neighborhood. Rachel, dressed in rags and was filthy all over, became the center of attention.

She felt embarrassed and tried her best to look down so that nobody could see her face.
