Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 422

Rachel stood before Celine in order to protect her, as she saw the police approaching them ghastly.

However, Celine pulled Rachel away and comforted her by saying,"Rachel, it isn't a big deal, really! I beat her only because I had too much to drink. The only low point here is the two-day detention, nothing else, really!"

"You silly girl, I will never leave you alone! Ever!"

Rachel said firmly. At that exact moment, a man rushed in started asking questions to a witness anxiously,"Who is injured? !"

It was Hiram, who had just barged in hastily. When he asked, the witness pointed towards a woman, who was holding her head in her hands. Without a slightest hint of hesitation, Hiram pulled away the woman's hands from her head to find out if it was Rachel.

The woman instantly got very annoyed, as Hiram grasped her hands, but at the same time she was attracted by Hiram's face.

"Hey, what's up?" the woman asked in a low, quivering voice.

Hiram immediately shook her hands off as soon as he realized it wasn't Rachel.

He took a sigh of relief and turned around to see where Rachel really was. He glanced around the room, and finally saw Rachel sitting on a sofa.

As soon as their eyes met, Rachel walked towards Hiram and said,"How did you manage to come here so soon?"

Hiram didn't say a word but just checked out Rachel from top to bottom and then turned her around to check her back. He was relieved once he made sure that Rachel wasn't hurt. He then replied to her question,"I wasn't far from here. What happened, tell me?"

Sweeping over Celine and Philip, Rachel explained,"Celine and Philip had broken up, not long ago though, and as soon as she found out that Philip was already dating some girl, she lost her cool. She was very drunk and angry, so she beat up that girl out of momentary impulse."

Hiram was not surprised by her behavior, as Celine was pretty much capable of pulling something like this. Precisely, a moment later, two policemen walked in and intended to take Celine back to the police station.

On seeing this, Rachel stood before Celine and asked the two policemen,"Sir, can we coordinate it between ourselves? It's an emotional dispute not a physical one. We will cover the costs of both, physical and mental treatment for her. Please just don't take Celine away."

Hiram pulled Rachel near him and whispered into her ears,"Dear, they have to investigate it thoroughly. For now, let them take Celine back to the police station, and I will take care of the rest."

On seeing Celine being taken away, Rachel walked up to Philip.

"Philip, you were with Celine for over a year. Although you guys broke up, she still has feelings for you. I'm really hoping you could persuade your girlfriend to withdraw her accusation. I'm asking for it as a huge favor,"

Rachel begged to him in a soft voice.

Celine was already depressed when she found out that Philip was dating some another girl, she'd collapse if she'd have to go through with the detention.

Hiram stood beside Rachel, in her support.

A doctor and a nurse walked in and bandaged the injured woman, who was Philip's girlfriend. The doctor further said,"Your wounds are not serious. The bleeding has stopped so there won't be any need to stitch them up. You can take an X-ray tomorrow if you still have any concerns."

On hearing this, Rachel sighed with relief. She was just about to speak something, but Hiram interrupted her.

"Hi, Philip, it is nice to meet you. I'm Hiram. Do you remember me?" Hiram greeted Philip in a flat tone. Philip met Hiram once before while he was still with Celine.

He nodded his head in affirmation and said,"Mr. Rong, glad to meet you."

"Well. I'm not here to ask you for a favor. It's Celine's fault, so you and your friend should follow the procedure and get her punished, if that's what you'd like to do. You can sue her or hire a lawyer, whatever suits you the best. Rachel and I will have no objection to your decision." Hiram had put forwards a rational notion.

However, Rachel was shook on hearing what Hiram said. 'What did he mean we won't have any objections? Why didn't he persuade Philip to withdraw the accusation?' she thought.

"No, Mr. Rong. There is no need for you to diffuse the situation. In all honesty, it's my fault too. We will withdraw the accusation. What do you think?" Philip asked his girlfriend.

The woman nodded awkwardly in affirmation and looked at Hiram, whose words raised a blush on her cheeks.

"Okay. Since it is your decision, I hope you'd be able to explain your reason of withdrawal to the police. Also, it's always better to break up amicably, that might lead you in remaining friends in the future," Hiram said in a low voice.
