Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 408

Almost at the same time, all the people turned their eyes to the commotion right outside the station.

"Hiram, over there! Isn't that Rachel?" Carl shouted out immediately and pointed to her.

Everyone looked to the direction he was pointing. Hiram also fixed his eyes on the three big fellows, who were apparently from the countryside, and the woman in the middle, who was holding a little girl in her arms.

Although she was wearing plain and simple clothes, he could recognize her in one glance.

It was indeed her. His wife, Rachel Ruan.

On the quiet streets of L City at midnight, all was dead quiet. Besides, L City wasn't a very developed city, so at this time, there were almost no passers-by, save for one or two cars driving by from time to time.

Holding Nadia in her arms, Rachel found that there was no place for her to retreat to. She looked around nervously to find someone who could help her. When she saw the cars that just pulled over on the roadside, she began shouting as loudly as she could.

There was still a distance between her and the people in the cars, and she couldn't see who they were under the dim street lamp. "Help! Somebody help! Please!" she yelled desperately.

"Shut up! You stupid woman! What are you yelling for? That child you are holding is my daughter. And it's the right thing for a father to come and take his own daughter home with him! Give her to us now! Even if you rip your throat yelling, and even if you call the entire police force here, you can't deny me my daughter!" the man in the front shouted.

"Come on, sweetheart! Come to Daddy, and I'll take you home to your mommy!" The man called out to the little girl.

The little girl had her arms around Rachel's neck, and she held on even more tightly hearing her father's voice. Trembling and teary eyed, she didn't even dare look at him.

From the corner of her eyes, Rachel saw several people approaching from the opposite direction. Rachel felt both happy and relieved. They had a chance. People wouldn't refuse to help other people in real trouble, and she thanked God that there were still a lot of good people in this world.

Nobody knew from where she got the courage, but suddenly she took her bag from her shoulder and threw it towards the man, who stood nearest her.

As the man moved aside to avoid it, she seized the chance to slip away through the gap, dashing towards the people with gritted teeth.

"Help!

Please help me!

Please……"

She shouted at the top of her lungs, running as fast as she could. But the next second, she stopped and felt herself rooted on the spot, as if she was struck by a lightning. She recognized the man walking in her direction.

Her heart was pounding wildly. It was the best person whom she had known all her life, and he had come to save the day.

It was her husband, Hiram.

But, she couldn't believe her eyes.

All of a sudden, she lost all her strength to move. She stared at him without batting an eyelash, totally unable to move, still holding the little girl in her arms.

The three men had gotten out of the car and started walking towards Rachel. When they caught up her, they tried to grab her but were stopped by Carl, Chad and Marlon, who got to her in time, coming from the side.

Totally forgetting what was going on around her, Rachel had her eyes fixed on the man in front of her. Inches from her, there was a lot of shouting, pushing and shoving. Punches and kicks were flying, bodies falling to the ground. In the middle of all that, she could clearly hear her beating heart, which was ready to leap from her body. Everything was a blur when she suddenly hear Hiram yelling.

"Come on! Let's go!" He grabbed her and pulled her to a safe spot, away from the ongoing fistfight.

"You naughty little thing! I wonder whether I should tie you down with a chain so you would be beside me the rest of your life!"

Hiram snorted coldly as he looked at her without a blink.

Despite his burning anger, he noticed that she had lost quite a lot weight during the period that she was gone.

Rachel looked away from him with her head bowed to the ground. She felt that all her strength had drained away, trying hard not to collapse in a heap.

After all the troubles, she was unable to escape from him, no matter how hard she tried.

"Why are you trying to stop us? Please make some sense, man! You have to believe us, that little girl is my daughter, and that woman holding her took her away from us! Leave us be! Or, I'll call the police!" Nadia's father yelled at them.

Outnumbered by Carl, Chad and Marlon with Hiram standing close by, he was fully aware that they might not be able to take his daughter away easily. Thus, he tried to talk some sense into them and hoped that they could be convinced and just go away.

Rachel heard everything the father said and came to her senses. She turned around and looked at the father, shouting back,"You slime ball! All you want is money, not your daughter. Tell me how much the buyer offered for your child? I'll give you twice. Just leave her alone!"

The three men looked at each other and nodded. Since they had decided to sell the girl, it would make no sense to give up a higher offer. After all, the highest bidder always wins.
