Such a Rude and Noisy Woman

Chapter 126 The Truth Was Out

"You vicious liar. Playing the victim doesn't work on me. You're just full of tricks. I know you. You're

worse than your mother! You're more cunning, more wicked!" Selina violently protested. Everyone's

attention turned to her and her husband, staring at them, whispering and talking about them. This made

her more furious.

She could still remember when Rachel slapped her in the face at the hospital. Since that time, she

realized Rachel wasn't a girl who would tolerate bullying. She looked weak and delicate, but she would

defend herself.

"And don't play the family card! You have signed the divorce papers. That's the truth. You can deny all

you want but it is the truth."

Selina continued screaming while pointing at Rachel.

"Hiram Rong has divorced you. But you still behave like a happy couple in front of us. Aren't you

ashamed, you little bitch?"

"That's enough, Selina. You are the wife of the eldest son of this family and you are Rachel's aunt. How

dare you say such things?'' Rachel's granduncle also had had enough of Selina's screaming. He was

already weak and coughed heavily, but he could no longer listen to this.

"This is between Rachel and her husband. It has nothing to do with you. This is none of your business.

Whether they divorced or not, we'll have to see for ourselves. If they did, they couldn't hide it forever.

The truth will out and we'll find out sooner or later.

But what if they didn't, all you have done today is just embarrassing yourself. You can't see how

ridiculous you look right now.''

One of Rachel's aunts stood up and tried to say something nice. This was supposed to be a happy

family get together, but Selina had to mess it up.

"Selina, let's go. We've already done what we came here to do." Colin spoke to his wife in a low voice

dragging her away.

"Today I have come to expose the true colors of Fannie and her daughter. You should not be fooled.''

Selina shrugged Colin's hands away, paying no attention to her husband.

"Are you done with this nonsense? I've put up with you long enough today. I'm not the hypocrite that

you claim I am. It is you! I know you are jealous of Rachel's marriage to Hiram. You want your own

daughter to be Hiram's wife! Have you no shame to be thinking like that? Stop troubling my daughter

using a fake divorce agreement, " Fannie refuted, enraged by Selina's rubbish talk.

She stood up in anger, in spite of her injured leg.

"Please leave right now. Go. From now on, we are done with you. I don't ever want to see your face

here ever again."

"You...." Selina was about to retaliate, but Colin stopped her, took her by the arms and dragged her

towards the gate.

Just at that moment, Chad came in.

"Chad, why are you still here?"

Rachel asked. She thought Chad had taken off.

Colin and Selina stopped as they saw the young stranger pass by them. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Stepping into the house, Chad first bowed to the elders and then replied to Rachel politely.

"Rachel. I got instructions from Hiram.

He asked me to give you the keys of the Rong's old mansion. You and your mother can go and live

there as long as you like, "

Chad said, as he pulled a bunch of keys out of his pocket and handed them to Rachel.

Everyone in XH Village knew that the old mansion of the Rong family was well guarded day and night.

The old house was so big and luxurious that the price of a chair inside would be equivalent to an

average person's annual income.

So Hiram was giving the keys to mansion to Rachel. What did that mean?

The answer was obvious.

Rachel held the keys and thought hard. She knew the significance of the keys. If Hiram was giving

them to her suddenly and out of the blue, maybe he already knew what happened to her just now.

Maybe he asked Chad to come back to save her from this hellish situation.

"Well, Selina, do you have anything to say? Hiram just gave Rachel, the keys to the mansion. It means

he recognizes her as his wife."

"Exactly, Selina, don't be so vicious. Try to be nice for the sake of your own daughter. If you're going to

keep acting like this, no one will dare marry your daughter."

"Colin, what are you waiting for? Take your wife away. Don't let her make a fool of herself here

anymore. Thanks to her, this night is ruined. It's immoral to break up a couple. Selina you are a senior

to Rachel. You are expected to help and guide her. But you did the opposite. How can you do that to

her?"

"Precisely. As relatives, we are supposed to be happy for Rachel and her marriage with Hiram. Now,

the two of you are trying to ruin her marriage and damage her reputation. I'm ashamed of you!"

The elders of the Ruan family lambasted the couple, one after the other.

Colin was already melting in shame, so he tightly grabbed his wife's hand and pulled her away.

When they got out of the family house, Colin released his wife's hand and said, "Selina, we got what

we came for. I've already taken a picture. Then we can get the money as agreed. Why bother messing

with them?"

"I just can't bear to see Fannie bragging about her daughter's marriage. I can't get over it without

blurting out a few curses, " Selina replied angrily.

She was just too jealous. According to the agreement made by the great grandfathers, her daughter

could get the chance to marry Hiram as well. But Fannie made quick moves and got ahead,

successfully pairing up Hiram with her daughter. They robbed her daughter of a happy marriage and a

comfortable life. She would never forgive Fannie and Rachel for that.

After the drama, all the relatives left one by one.

Emma helped Fannie back to her room.

"Emma, Don't worry about me. You go ahead with your own business. I need to talk with my daughter."

Fannie sat on the chair beside the table and took a glass of water to drink.

Soon after, Rachel stepped inside and closed the door. "Mom...." She called in a low voice, lowering

her head.

"Get down on you knees!" Fannie ordered gravely, banging her glass on the table.

Rachel knelt down obediently in front of the altar on which a picture of her dead father was neatly

placed. She lied about her divorce with Hiram in front of all her relatives.

But she couldn't fool her mother.

"Tell me the truth. That divorce agreement isn't fake? Right?"

"Mom, listen to me. I can explain."

"Rachel, you can't lie to me. I recognize your handwriting. It's you who signed the agreement. Right?"

Fannie asked seriously, looking straight at Rachel.

When she saw the hand-written 'Rachel Ruan' on the agreement, she knew it was her daughter's

signature.

As her mother, she was familiar with Rachel's handwriting. She tutored her in her homework when

Rachel was young, and always helped tidy her desk when she was growing up.

Just then Rachel's phone rang. It was from Hiram. Rachel hid the screen from her mother's view and

immediately hung up.

She kept her position there motionless, waiting for her mother's lengthy speech about her life.

She knew her mother best. On this occasion, the best thing she could do was to keep quiet and obey

her mother. Otherwise, her mother would get angrier.

"In the beginning, you didn't agree to get married to Hiram, and you tore up the marriage contract. But

you changed your mind and married him anyway. I was too happy to think more at that time. Looking

back now, I think I was too hasty to marry you into the Rong family. So Hiram and you made the

divorce agreement when you agreed to marry each other. Right?"

After some reflecting, Fannie gradually figured out what was really going on.

Seeing that most of the items of the divorce agreement were about restrictions on the wife, she realized

that Hiram was not very eager for the marriage at first.

Rachel sighed and said to her mother, "Yes, we signed the divorce agreement at that time. Hiram was

not willing to marry me, but he didn't want to go against his mother either.

So we found a way around it. We got married to satisfy you and made the divorce agreement to

guarantee ourselves the freedom, should it not work out."

Now that her secret had been uncovered, she decided to tell her mother everything.

Rachel's phone rang again.

She still didn't pick up.

She was not in the mood to talk to Hiram right now.

Today she was humiliated by her aunt because of the divorce agreement. Why was the agreement

lost? And why was her aunt able to get a copy?

It was Hiram's fault. Hiram was the one responsible for all this.

"Who's calling? Is that Hiram?" Fannie asked, seeing Rachel hanging up the phone.

Rachel nodded.

"Now that I have known the truth, I have just one question, what's the situation between you and Hiram

now? Tell me the truth." Fannie asked while looking at the keys in Rachel's hand.

Rachel knew she couldn't hide anything from her mother. "The original divorce agreement has already

been sent to the court, but we haven't gotten the divorce certificates yet. So I am not sure whether we

are divorced or not."

"Oh, so it is true! Do your parents-in-law know about this?" Fannie sighed. She needed to make sure

whether Hiram's parents already knew anything about it. If they did, things would become more

complicated.

Rachel shook her head and said, "No, we haven't told them yet."

At this point, her phone rang again. She had gotten annoyed and turned off her phone.

Hiram at the other end had gotten impatient waiting for Rachel to answer his call. When he heard the

beep sound from the phone again, he stood up immediately to get his jacket and was ready to get out.

Just then the fixed phone on his desk rang.

"Hello.

Hiram, it's mum. Are you free now? Come home when you're available. I need to talk to you." Joanna

was on the phone holding some pieces of paper in her other hand.

"Okay, I'm about to leave. I will drive home right now." Hiram frowned, wondering what his mother was

going to talk to him about.
