Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2097

Everyone felt sorry for Sebastian Brenand when they saw the state he was in, but none of them could do anything about it.

Rachel Wood was nowhere to be found as if she had disappeared into thin air.

Even Stanley Batton, who was seemingly capable of anything, couldn’t find her.

The other wedding guests, who had no idea what happened, were clapping, chatting, and laughing.

Meanwhile, Sebastian's inner circle of friends couldn’t even smile, knowing what went on.

The bride and groom made their vows in front of the priest before quickly exchanging rings.

Sebastian felt like a puppet throughout the process, wanting to flee from the wedding. However, he didn't dare oppose his parents, who still held Rachel's life in their hands.

At that moment, guests in the wedding hall started applauding loudly, flowers scattering from above.

It seemed very romantic.

It was the wedding he had dreamed of, but the bride before him wasn’t the one he wanted to marry.

He'd felt out of sorts when he put the ring on Yvette Houston's finger, his heart twinging painfully.

He had never missed Rachel more.

Where on earth was she right then?

Sebastian couldn’t help but cry after exchanging rings.

Yvette, who stood across from him, was still smiling.

Stanley and Xyla Quest felt sorry for him.

In the meantime, the guests were still clapping and cheering, interpreting his tears as tears of joy.

Sebastian felt extremely disgusted at that moment, feeling an urge to push Yvette away.

Yet, he suddenly recalled what his mother had told him before the wedding. “Sebastian Brenand, if you disobey me ever so slightly, Rachel will be the one to suffer.”

He suppressed his urges when he recalled the mental image of how Rachel had been tortured previously.

Closing his eyes, he pretended her lips were pieces of salmon. It was the only way he could feel less disgusted.

He used to date around and kiss countless women in the past, but none of them made him feel as disgusted as she did.

Elsewhere, Rachel was still dragging her nearly frozen body through the empty road on a hill.

Blood was smeared everywhere on the road, her bloody footprints especially striking under the harsh moonlight.
