Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 366

Celine stepped into the hall. She was behind Rachel and had no idea what was going on. So surprised was she that Celine almost lost her balance and fell when she saw the huge photo. To avoid injuring herself, she hurriedly placed a hand on the wall beside her for support.

"Oh, my God!

Is that you? My dear Rachel!" Celine said excitedly.

Rachel gazed at the photo speechlessly. A second later, she glared at the man descending the stairs elegantly. Her eyes were transfixed on the smile illuminating his face.

"Do you like it, honey?" Hiram asked as he approached her slowly.

Chad and Carl who were walking behind Hiram were trying hard not to burst into laughter.

Rachel raised her hands and gestured to Hiram to stop. She took a deep breath to control the emotions that were overwhelming her. She said,"Stop where you are, please. Don't talk. I need time to calm down!"

Then she placed her hand on her forehead. She just couldn't believe it. Rachel couldn't believe that this fabulous castle was a gift for her. It was magnificent and beyond imagination.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Rong. This is my fault.

We didn't expect that you would take part in the bidding at the beginning. Once we saw that your company was on the list, we couldn't remove it to avert suspicion. And later, since you were ambitious to win the bid, we were curious to see your plan. We're very sorry that this happened. However, the outcome is a happy one, right?

Please forgive me. And before you get angry, please let me share that Mr. Rong had nothing to do with any of this. It's all my fault!" Chason explained.

Then he bowed to Rachel as a sign of respect.

"No, it's not your fault. You don't need to apologize to me. You have no idea what I'm thinking!" Rachel said briskly although her thoughts were still a mess. She turned to Celine and said,"Let's leave now!"

"What? Leave here?" Celine asked bewildered. She had been distracted for a moment and felt as though she had misheard Rachel. Wondering whether she was supposed to go with Rachel, she looked at Hiram instead.

Hiram wasn't surprised at Rachel's reaction. Just as he thought a moment ago, he had another battle to fight.

"Can we have a minute?" he asked in a low voice.

Chason said to Celine with a smile,"Would you like to accompany me for a cup of tea?"

"Great! I'd love to!" Celine replied before leaving with Chason.

Once Chad and Carl left, only Hiram and Rachel were left in the huge hall.

"Honey? I……" Hiram began.

"Don't talk to me now!"

she interrupted him. Upset, Rachel stalked toward the new ivory leather sofa on the other side of the hall.

She sat down, removed her shoes, put her arms around her knees, and buried her head in her arms. Rachel felt as though she were in a dream, and all she wanted to do was figure out whether she was.

How could this dream castle be hers? She couldn't fathom it.

Just the idea of owning a castle was so unreal that Rachel was certain that she must be dreaming.

She had asked Hiram several times before, but he had been vague when replying to her. Now, when her fairytale-like castle was right in front of her, she was too shocked to believe it.

Hiram sat adjacent to Rachel. He wanted to scoop her in his arms. However, since Rachel was upset at that moment, he just smiled at her. He understood that it was hard for her to accept the news right away.
