Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1071

Rachel Wood nodded with a smile. "Yeah, it tastes good..." She said softly.

"Alright... Since you mentioned it, having shabu-shabu at home really does feel different," Sebastian Brenand said.

Previously, he loved the excitement of the great outdoors, strong alcohol, beautiful women, and freedom.

But now, he loved the simple life of home-cooked food and spending time with his loved ones.

The several days he spent with Rachel after getting back together was the best days in his life...

He liked this kind of life where he worked hard for a living during the day and returned home at night to have dinner with his lover.

After experiencing all the excitement in life, he found that he liked this kind of calm life.

This was his first time realizing that a calm and quiet life could be wonderful too.

"My parents have been traveling abroad recently. Once they return in two days, I'll bring you to meet them and talk to them about us getting married..." Sebastian said.

"What if your parents don't agree to it?" Rachel asked.

Rachel still remembered clearly what he told her previously.

He had said that his marital affairs were not up to him to decide. Hence, he could fool around with other women all he wanted, but his parents were ultimately the ones who decided on the perfect match for him to marry.

Sebastian even said that his parents had high expectations of his significant other. She needed to be an elegant lady from a reputable family.

Rachel was worried that her future in-laws wouldn't like her.

However, Sebastian chuckled. "What if they disagree? They'll still have to agree to it anyway...'

Rachel looked confused. "What do you mean by that?"

Sebastian's smile widened. "Their son has already transferred all his assets to your name... If they disagree, wouldn't they suffer significant losses?"

Rachel suddenly realized what was going on. "Honey, did you transfer all your stuff to me because of this?"

"Yes... But not entirely. It's mainly because I want you to feel safe. I also want to give them a little pressure aside from that," Sebastian said.

"If they disagree, do you plan to tell them this so that they'd feel pressured?" Rachel asked.

"Yeah..." Sebastian said.

With that, Sebastian peeled a prawn and brought it in front of Rachel's face.

Rachel suddenly felt a little unsettled. "But... If they found out that you transferred everything to my name, wouldn't they be furious?" "Everything I gave you, I earned it myself. What right do they have to be furious?" Sebastian asked.

After saying that, Sebastian shrugged nonchalantly...

"But... I'm still a little worried," Rachel said.

At first, she really didn't want to own all his assets.

In the end, Sebastian forcefully transferred everything to her name.

From his properties to his savings, nothing was left out. Everything now belonged to her. She didn't even have the right to refuse him. Rachel didn't know how Sebastian's parents would react if they found out.

Sebastian chuckled yet again before gently ruffling her hair. "Don't worry. Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you," he said. "Promise me that you'll speak nicely to your parents when the time comes," Rachel said.

"Okay."

Rachel didn't say anything further. Instead, she continued to eat with a seemingly thoughtful expression upon her face.

She felt deeply concerned about her and Sebastian's future together.

However, she didn't want to give up so easily because she loved him too much. She also was certain that he loved her too.

The next day, at two o'clock in the afternoon, Sharon Lindt drove Xyla Quest in a custom-made, pink Lamborghini to Silver International Hotel. The antique auction she mentioned the day before was held here.

Due to the auction, the hotel had been completely emptied inside out. Apart from people who had an invitation, nobody else could enter.

At this moment, many bodyguards were patrolling at the entrance. Each one of them had a serious expression upon their face.
