Rachel Wood was all that was on his mind.
She had hurt him badly. She belonged to somebody else now.
Nevertheless, Sebastian Brenand could not stop thinking about her.
Though he thought of becoming a playboy again, he was simply not interested in other women anymore. Rachel was the only one in his mind and heart. He could not forget about her no matter how hard he tried.
He even doubted himself sometimes. Perhaps he had betrayed and disappointed too many innocent girls in the past. Rachel was simply divine retribution for his misdeeds.
"But that girl is different..." Sebastian's mother said again.
"Mom... Please... Leavealone, okay?" Following that statement, Sebastian hung up the phone. He opened the gallery on his phone and found Rachel's picture.

When he returned from Edgewater, bruised and scarred, he had the urge to delete that photo.
However, he failed to do so.

After that, Xyla texted Stanley and informed him about the family dinner tonight.
While all these were happening, Stanley was having a meeting in the conference room.
The man sat in the middle of the table, wearing a well-fitting black suit with a white shirt inside. His domineering aura was palpable.

"Aren't you busy?" "Nah, I'm not," Stanley reassured Xyla.

I have to go now." Zack nodded respectfully.
