Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 407

The old lady sitting in front of Rachel was irritated by Shirley's attitude. Exasperated, she stood up and said, pulling Rachel over,"Sit down, dear. Don't waste your time on people like her." The old lady gave Shirley a once over and continued,"She's not worth it."

Other people soon chimed in, and soon, the carriage was filled with a motley of boos from passengers, cries from the little girl, and the snapping of wheels on the rail.

The train was nearing its destination with every clink of metal. Upon its arrival, passengers naturally quieted down and the earlier incident forgotten like wind. Most of them were taking their luggage off the shelves and got easy to get off.

Rachel and the old lady stood up after the train had come to a stop, and the sound of murmurs and footsteps soon filled the surroundings. Before saying her goodbye, the old lady handed a slip of paper to Rachel. It was a phone number.

When Rachel passed by Shirley, she was still on her seat, showing no intention of leaving.

The little girl, probably worn out from all her crying, was asleep on her lap.

Rachel continued on her way. After getting off the train, she stood at the station for a while, her eyes scanning around. She looked at the overhead signage, wondering where to go.

A moment later, Shirley got off with the kid in her arms. She looked around, and then headed towards an exit on the left.

Rachel followed Shirley with her eyes. She looked kind of strange. Rachel shook her head and decided to focus on her own. She turned her head to the left and the right exit. With no idea where to go, she decided to choose one at random and just follow her gut.

Suddenly, there was a shout. "There she is!" Catch her!" a man's voice bellowed.

"That bitch has the kid. I'm gonna break her legs when I catch her!"

She saw a gang of around four or five men pointing at the direction Shirley took.

Rachel felt cold sweat on her brow. Her heart was pounding. She guessed these people might come for her in the first place. After thinking it over, she overthrew her assumption. It would take at least a day to drive from North Sea City to where she was, so it was impossible for Hiram to come so soon.

Rachel stopped in her tracks and whipped her head to Shirley. She was running, her arms around her child, trying to avoid being captured by her pursuers.

"You bitch! How dare you escape?! Stop!" Rachel had a closer look at the man. He was shouting fiercely. From his appearance, it seemed that he wasn't from the city.

With her hands holding her child, it was impossible for Shirley to run fast. She looked around desperately, her shoulders heaving from her own breaths. Her limbs were shaking from the exertion. Her heart sank when she saw the men running towards her. She gripped her child in her arms. There was no way out.

Then, she spotted Rachel standing not far away from her. The anxiety in her face mirrored her own.

With a huff of breath, Shirley ran towards her.

"Rachel! Listen, please! I know I hurt you before. I understand that I am not in any position to ask anything from you, but I need your help," she pleaded, her voice quivering. Rachel saw the sheen of sweat covering her face. Shirley's hands were protectively wrapped around her child, and her eyes were bloodshot as they looked into hers. "I didn't give birth to a boy. This is my daughter, Nadia," she said, looking at the child in her arms. "Someone wants to buy her with a high price," she hoisted her child higher on her hip. "Please. Please help me take her away. She is everything to me. I'm begging you, please."

Tears were streaming down Shirley's face as she spoke. Her head turned to the men who were approaching nearer every second. Before Rachel could think or speak, she pushed the girl to her.

Shirley might not be a good person, but she was a mother. She would never be able to forsake her daughter.

"Shirley..."

It was all happening so suddenly and Rachel could not process everything at once. Looking at the little girl, Rachel felt conflicting emotions run through her.

"Rachel, please!" Shirley was on her knees, begging and gripping her arms. "I'm sorry that I hurt you, but my daughter is innocent. Please help me save her!"

"Shirley!" A shout broke through the sounds of Shirley's sobbing. "Give me back my daughter! I will decide what happens to her!"

The men were approaching. Shirley stood up, her eyes boring into Rachel's.

"Take Nadia away quickly. I will lead them away from you." With those words, she pushed Rachel into the exit. When they were safely out of sight, she turned back to the men and shouted,"Listen! All of you! Among you is my brother, my cousin, my uncle, and my husband, but I won't let you take my child!"

She stepped in their way, her head held high. The men were running to her.

She closed her eyes and breathed, silently praying that Rachel makes it safely with her child. She had lived a hard life, but her daughter, she wanted a much better future for her.

"Bitch, get out of the way! Do you know who you're going against? Don't force me to beat you!" Shirley's husband walked over to her and slapped her in the face. Shirley staggered and held her swollen face, but she didn't move.

Grabbing her by the collar, her husband roared,"Get out of the way, or I am gonna break your legs! All of you, go after the other woman! Hurry up! The kid is worth 150000! Do everything it takes to get her back. Don't let her get away!"

Shirley's husband wanted a boy to carry his name. He didn't care about losing her daughter at all, because he might have sons in the future after selling her.

150000 was no joke.

At his words, his brother and cousin held Shirley down and then ran after Rachel and the kid.

Shirley's husband stepped closer to her. He raised his fist and gave a heavy blow on her stomach. She felt the air get knocked out of her lungs as she folded from the pain. He grabbed her face and forced her to look at him.

"You damn bitch! You should know how lucky you are that I married you!" he hissed,"You're useless to me if you can't give me a son. And now you oppose me?" His eyes glinted with malice. "Women like you need to be taught a lesson, or you won't know your place."

He raised his hand once again. Shirley closed her eyes, wordlessly praying for her daughter's safety.
