Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 363

Hiram walked to Rachel, crouched down and held both Rachel and their daughter in his arms. "My dear wife, you look upset. What's the matter?" he asked with concern.

Turning her head away, Rachel wiped the tears from her face, stood up and said to their daughter,"Joyce, go and play over there, okay? Mom and Dad need to talk."

Hiram looked at Rachel, who was walking out of the room. Then he also stood up and followed her.

"What happened?" asked Hiram, walking into the bedroom and closing the door.

Rachel had just recovered from a series of depressing circumstances. It had taken Hiram a few attempts to cheer her up. But now she seemed unhappy again.

"I visited my mom today... Someone beat her up. There were bruises on her arm. She said she was okay, and that it was an accident but I'm not buying it. She's being harassed in there. There might be other injuries that I don't know of. Hiram, I'm so scared for my mother." Rachel's voice trembled as she spoke, her eyes filling with tears again.

Hearing her story, Hiram furrowed his eyebrows. But he didn't reply immediately. Instead, he took out his phone and walked to the balcony to make a call.

After about ten minutes, he returned.

"Kun said that two female prisoners had a fight and your mother was accidentally injured. She wasn't involved in the fight herself. He have arranged for her to be in a separate cell. It won't happen again..."

"No." Rachel cut him off. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath and continued,"It couldn't have happened accidentally."

"I'll keep investigating. We already have the address of the prosecution witness. There will be more clues soon," said Hiram, gazing at Rachel, looking helpless. He could only imagine how his wife was feeling.

Closing her eyes and nodding, Rachel raised a bitter smile and said,"Hiram, can you save my mother out of prison now? You promised that you would protect me and my mother, remember? She's also your mother now. Every single day that she spends in that horrible place sucks the life out of me. I don't know how much longer I can endure this."

"Rachel..."

"Can you— Can you just tell me if you can or if you cannot!" She suddenly raised her voice at him. The emotions which she had tried hard to suppress all suddenly came rushing out. She had finally caved in and just let it go.

She thought that she could still live with Hiram and ignore all these things. But with the development of the case, she could no longer ignore it. The more she tried to forget, the more it occupied her mind.

Hiram looked at her with determination. As his dark eyes narrowed, he said,"Okay. Wait here, I'll be back."

As soon as he finished his words, he turned around and left.

Rachel sank to the floor and wrapped her arms around herself. She had used up all her strength and now she sat paralyzed. She knew that she shouldn't have forced Hiram to do it that way. He could do anything for her, but he was just a businessman. What powers did he have to influence the police to release her mother? She had constrained Hiram to do something beyond his power.

She also knew that Hiram had tried his best to investigate the whole thing, to the point of going against his own father, Gavin. But the most important thing for her at the moment was to get her mother out of prison. She just couldn't wait any longer. She had waited long enough.

She was afraid that Fannie would suffer more horrible things in prison the longer she was kept there. She couldn't help thinking about the worst possibilities. What if her mother was seriously injured or at worst, what if her mother was killed inside? She would not know how to deal with it and how to even face herself.

Hiram walked out of Tulip Palace and drove to the house of Rong family alone.

"Hiram, you're back?" When Joanna saw Hiram walk in, she stood up and walked toward him with a broad smile. But to her surprise, Hiram directly went upstairs with a stern face as if she wasn't even there.

In the study, Lydia was translating an English book for Gavin. Suddenly, the door swung open. When Lydia saw Hiram, she quickly stood up.

"Leave." said Hiram in a cold voice without a glance at Lydia. She hurriedly left without a sound.

Watching Hiram drive away his daughter, Gavin put the book on the table heavily with a huge sound and said,"Just say it. Why did you come back?"

Hiram pulled up a chair opposite Gavin and sat on it. It was the first time that he didn't greet his father respectfully. He was trained to be a man who always behaved with refinement and he was indeed a man of great demeanor. But today, he had lost his basic manners for the first time.

Hiram lit up a cigarette, inhaled deeply and said,"Father, you had Charlie talk to Rachel today. What did you want to tell her?"

Gavin was about to take off his glasses. But when he heard Hiram's words, he paused for a moment. Then he took off his glasses and took out a cloth from the drawer to clean it. "What did I want to tell her? Why don't you know?"

"Really? It's really like what I have thought? So, it is true that you want to drive her away from me?" said Hiram in a low yet firm voice.

After cleaning his glasses, Gavin put them back in the case. Then he cleared his throat and said,"Son, the daughter-in-law of the Rong family can't be the daughter of a murderer. More importantly, she absolutely cannot be the daughter of our family's enemy.

I've thought it through, a lot over the years, but I still can't let go of the hatred! How could Fannie be so unashamed of what she did and send her daughter to our family to live a happy life?"

Hiram puffed on his cigarette again, looked up at his father and said,"What use is it for you to say that? It is you who agreed to our marriage. Now that she is the mother of my kids and you want to drive her away from me. Do you think that's fair?

What's more, in the last four years, Rachel and I have grown to love each other more deeply. And now, it is not about whether she should leave or not. It is that I'll never let her go even if she tries to leave me!"
