Such a Rude and Noisy Woman

Chapter 345 Tear Her Into Pieces!

Rachel opened the door and found Lydia and Gavin.

She tried to speak, but her voice was dead as if someone had trampled on it and no words came out.

The next thing Rachel knew was, she had slapped Lydia.

"I knew that you were bad luck the moment you came back from abroad! I was kidnapped and my own

mother is behind bars now! Are you a devil in angel's clothing, my dear sister-in-law?"

She sneered at Lydia and started to shake in anger.

If thoughts could kill, Rachel would have killed Lydia many times over.

"Why slap me, Rachel? It was your mother who committed the crime and it's only fair she pays for it! I

don't see why you blame me for that!" Lydia said as she soothed her pain in her cheek.

Gavin stood up tall in front of Lydia and said,"Rachel, you can't lay all the blame on Lydia. Listen, I'll tell

them to look into this again and find out what really happened. If your mother is innocent, I'll kneel

down and apologize to her!"

The words had no impact on Rachel's ice-cold heart. She sneered at Gavin and said bitterly,"Dad, even Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

if my parents weren't good with Landy at that time, I think things are even now since I've given birth to a

son and a daughter! Blood is thicker than water! You know it better than me!

Why did you put her into jail? She's old now and I don't think she has a lot of time left to live. Why can't

you just let us live our lives in peace? Why do you insist on doing that to her?"

Rachel had no idea what had happened during that time and even if her parents had been involved in

Landy's death, she could not believe it. Maybe because Landy loved her father deeply and couldn't

believe he had married someone else.

This was why she let her mother live in XH village by herself for the past four years. She thought that

taking a step back would avoid a fight between her mother and Hiram's parents. Therefore, she tried

her best to keep them from meeting each other and she endured all this because she believed the

problem would go away on its own one day.

After all her efforts, they put her mother into jail finally, and Rachel was speechless on them.

"Stop talking to my dad like that, Rachel!

Did Aunt Landy do anything wrong? She was young and at her best age. She got pregnant after

meeting your father! What's more, your mother killed her baby out of jealousy! Did you ever put

yourself in her shoes? Did you?

Your mother lived an easy life all those years and she has had enough! It was generous of us to leave

her untouched till now. How could you ask my dad to let her go?" Lydia yelled.

She gave Rachel a look that could kill.

Lydia never considered Rachel as a family member and since Hiram wasn't here now, she took this

chance to create hatred between Gavin and Rachel. She had been waiting for this day for long.

If she added enough fuel to the fire burning now, the hate would grow bigger. The bigger it would be,

the harder would be the reconciliation.

Rachel was taking everything away from her - Hiram's attention, her parents' trust and more. It was the

time for Rachel to suffer for this. She would take everything away from Rachel in return and let her

languish the rest of her life.

"You'd better go home now, Rachel. I'll tell them to zip their mouth. No one will learn what happened to

your mother," Gavin said and then closed his eyes with a sigh.

Rachel laughed instead of going away. "Fine, I'll go home with the children."

"Wait!" Gavin opened his eyes immediately and exclaimed,"I don't think you have the strength to take

care of them now. Let them stay here. Joanna's willing to look after them for some more time."

"Dad, I'm the mother of Jonny and Joyce. No matter what happened or will happen, you can't change it.

I don't think there is anyone that can replace a child's own mother, is there?" Rachel disagreed and

walked to the staircase without waiting for Gavin to reply.

Joanna stood at the door of the study.

She had been eavesdropping on them all this time.

She noticed Rachel's unusualness the moment she walked in and then she followed her upstairs. But

she hadn't expected to learn all this.

"How could you do this to Fannie, Lydia? I thought you had changed and asked Hiram to allow you to

come back home. But look what you have done? You're really disappointing me!" Joanna blamed Lydia

in her thoughts as she clutched her chest in agony.

Rachel had gone downstairs and headed to the room where Jonny and Joyce were. She couldn't stay

away from her children anymore.

"Go and stop her taking the children with her, Joanna! Hurry up!" Gavin yelled in desperation.

Joanna stamped her feet and glanced at Gavin and Lydia in despondence before she went down for

Rachel.

"Rachel? Please!" she pleaded as she rushed down the stairs.

"Rachel, calm down! Please listen to me! You must trust me now. I know you are worrying about

Fannie. Remember I'm their grandmother. Believe me, I can take good care of them for you now! You

can come and pick them up at any time after this matter is over. I promise!"

Joanna blabbered as she grabbed Rachel's hands to stop her.

Rachel was reaching out to open the door, but stopped because she knew things would become

awkward if she took the twins with her now. She didn't want them to see their mother quarreling with

their grandparents.

Standing at the door, she could hear them laughing happily inside the room and she bit her lips, trying

to stop the flow of sadness inside her heart.

Then she forced herself to take her hands off the door.

Without looking at Joanna, she headed to the door absentmindedly, looking down at the floor.

After she left the Rong House, she went to Kun, the director of Public Security Department of H City.

they had met several times before. She wanted to ask him to keep an eye on Fannie.

Fannie wasn't easy to get along with and Rachel was worried that she might suffer while in jail.

Kun told her not to be worried and told her that he had ordered special attention to be given to Fannie.

Rachel went back to Tulip Palace after she had done all that came up in her mind to help Fannie.

She was waiting for the next morning. she could then go to Streams Building for Hiram.

He was the only one that could possibly help Fannie now.

It was a long and a hard night for Rachel. She couldn't sleep until she drank a whole bottle of wine.

It was nine in the morning when she woke up. She took a quick shower and got dressed as soon as

possible before leaving for Streams Building.

She ran into Carl, who had returned from his vacation, at the gates of Tulip Palace.

"Rachel? I was on my way to meet you! What's going on? Your eyes look puffed!" Carl asked worriedly

as he saw Rachel's eyes were swollen and red.

"Carl! You're just in time! Please take me to Streams Building! Hurry up!" Rachel said as she opened

the door to get in the car.

Seeing that Rachel was in a hurry, Carl didn't ask any more questions and stepped on the gas to speed

up the car.

They arrived at Streams Building soon.

It was around ten when Rachel came to Hiram's office.

The secretary told her that Hiram had come back but was at a meeting at that moment.

Rachel took a breath of relief and a smile finally lit up her strained face.

'He's come back!

Finally he's back!' she told herself in relief.

She headed to the boardroom directly, ignoring Ben who tried to stop her.

"Rachel?" Chad stopped her at the door of the boardroom.

"Please wait a moment, Rachel! Hiram's at an important meeting now and it'll finish in 20 minutes!"

Chad said.

Rachel shook her head and said anxiously,"I can't wait, Chad! I have to see him right now! It's urgent!"

She pushed off Chad's hand and reached out to the door.

But Chad managed to stand before the door and said,"Rachel, please wait 20 minutes! Even if heaven

has fallen down, it will take 20 minutes! Please be considerate! Don't get me into trouble, please!"

Rachel was so anxious that tears were welling up in her eyes. Grabbing Chad's blazer, she asked,"Tell

me the truth! Did Hiram tell you that he doesn't want to see me?"

It seemed that Hiram had made up his mind not to see her, regardless of how many times she tried to

meet him.

This was all because she thought of another man in her heart. He thought of this as cheating. Thus he

didn't want to see her anymore.

"Um..."

Chad was rendered speechless by her question. He looked away in hesitation.

Rachel seized this moment to open the door of the boardroom going around Chad.
