Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 378

"Charlie, please tell your master. My mom and I will leave in a moment. He need not worry about anything. There is no need for any more drama." Rachel said without looking at him. She was holding Hiram's hand tenderly in her hands, but the look in her eyes was melancholic.

"Mrs. Rong, I insist that you and your mom come with me. You're fully aware that you have to face it sooner or later, right?" Charlie said, feeling awkward.

Even if Gavin didn't run into them today, he would seek for other opportunities to see them later.

Fannie looked at Rachel and shook her head with a deep sigh. She persuaded Rachel,"Don't be like this, honey. I'm going to talk with your father-in-law, and you stay here with Hiram."

Charlie looked at them and hesitated for a moment. Then he reached out his hand to show Fannie the door.

Rachel stood up right away. She watched Hiram's face affectionately and fixed his hair. She then turned around to join Fannie.

She loved her mom and would never let her face Gavin alone, especially when she knew what kind of hurtful words he was capable of throwing at people.

All of them were sitting on the sofa in the living room of Hiram's ward.

Gavin looked at Rachel and Fannie, who were sitting across the coffee table, and brought out a blank check in front of them.

"Here is a check, and you can write whatever figure you'd like as long as you agree that you will leave H City before tomorrow morning." Gavin said without batting an eyelash.

He was being straightforward because he could no longer stand them. Just being in the same room with them made him want to vomit. He did not want to see them ever again.

It was fortunate for him that Hiram was in a compromised situation although no longer critical at the moment. However, Gavin didn't know what would happen next time.

People from the Ruan Family must have been cursed. He had to keep them away from his son. Even if Hiram never forgave him, he would do what he should do as a father. He could not afford to be softhearted.

"Dad, it is clear to me that you want Hiram and me to get divorced," Rachel said without any anxiety in her voice. Fannie was about to say something but Rachel grabbed her hand to stop her from blurting out anything.

"That's right. I can arrange for a divorce certificate for you even though Hiram is unconscious now. You and your mother need not to worry about it. Please leave the city before tomorrow morning!" Gavin said in a low voice.

Glancing at the check on the table, Rachel couldn't help but laugh and said,"Stop your wishful thinking! I'm afraid that you need at least one month to clear things up, and one night is ridiculous."

"Rachel, wait……" Fannie asked worriedly. She gazed at Rachel and couldn't believe her ears. 'Did Rachel really consider leaving Hiram?' she wondered.

Gavin snorted and said disapprovingly,"I said I could manage it. If you don't want to write a figure on the check, then I'll do it for you. Just fill the check and I'll send Charlie to bring you the cash. The car is available at any minute!"

Rachel patted on Fannie's hand telling her not to worry. Then she raised her eyebrows and spoke loudly,"I don't think so. Hiram and I had signed a prenuptial agreement before we got married. It states that, if we got divorced in future, half of his properties would be mine.

I don't think that you could sort it out in one single night."

Gavin's mouth was agape as he gasped and shouted in disbelief,"What? What are you talking about?"

"Dad, I didn't lie to you. It was clearly written on the agreement and it was notarized by an attorney. If you don't believe it, you can call Luke. He was the lawyer who drew the agreement for us." Rachel replied with a smile and shrugged her shoulders.

'Did you think that I'm just a mere puppet dancing in your hands?' she thought in her mind.

Let alone half of Hiram's wealth, she didn't think that Gavin would allow her to take even just one third of it.

He was furious at what he heard and punched the table yelling,"Ridiculous! Have you lost your mind? As a daughter-in-law of our family, you've only been married to Hiram for four years. But now you want to take away half of everything that he owns? Forget about it! You are deluded if you think that I'll ever agree to it!

You did not contribute even a drop of sweat to build this kind of wealth. Now you're demanding a 50% share? How dare you?"

Rachel shrugged her shoulders and spread out her hands, saying,"Yes, I admit that I have made no significant efforts for the growth of this wealth, but I'm your daughter-in-law and the mother of your grandchildren. I gave birth to two adorable kids, and thus, I deserve half of all that."

"You! You fucking gold digger!" Gavin yelled out.

He almost jumped at his feet and wanted to claw out at her "I have said it before. You are a family from hell! And now, you have shown you true colors, especially at a time when my son is in crisis!"

"Dad, you know better than me. In this world, if we only use our emotions but not our head when dealing with business or anything else, we will starve to death. To tell you the truth that, I can just abandon all the conditions in the agreement, but you won't agree. You're the one who's pushing me to leave my husband and my kids. If I let you have your way, I don't think that half is even enough,"

Rachel snorted as she said it slowly, clearly and uncompromising.

Since Gavin insisted that she should divorce Hiram, then she had the right to fight for her right to her share of the marital property.

"Right! I nearly forgot. Hiram constructed a castle for me in the West Mountain District, and it covers hundreds of acres. It's under my name, and please keep that in mind too!"
