Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 204

"Please, dad! Rachel's my wife now, and I can't do that to her! When she was kidnapped along with Lydia, I asked the kidnappers to let Lydia go instead of Rachel. Have you ever wondered why? It's because you've lost your younger sister and I didn't know what you would do if you lost Lydia this time. I couldn't let you go through that suffering again!

But by doing that, I disappointed and hurt my wife, risking her life for our family's sake. She wasn't even supposed to be involved in it.

We all owe her now, dad! Don't you know that?" Hiram explained, trying to change his father's mind.

Gavin breathed heavily, his chest heaving with each breath, and then he closed his eyes to calm himself down. "Yes, I know, I owe Rachel for that. But Hiram, haven't you ever thought that maybe the ghost of Simpson had sent her to our family to pay his debt?" Gavin asked.

Joanna, who had been standing outside the door and listening for a long time, walked in after realizing that neither of them was going to give in to the other.

"I heard every word you two said just now, " she said.

She looked at Gavin and sighed, and then continued, "As we've seen in the past few months, Rachel is a nice girl, and besides, we consented to this marriage. If you ask Hiram to divorce her now because of something that she had nothing to do with, I think it's unfair to her."

Feeling offended that his wife would support Rachel, Gavin said, "Yes, Joanna, I gave my permission and I supported them all the way. But things are different now. I can't let this go. You know how much I've been suffering since Landy died.

Look, we have learned that Simpson caused Landy's death, and Rachel is his daughter. I can't stand having his daughter as my daughter-in-law as if nothing happened. It's unfair to me and Landy!"

Gavin groaned.

Right at this moment, his phone rang. He picked it up and said, "Yes, go ahead."

He sat straight on his chair and took out a cigarette. Hiram stepped forward and lit it up for his father.

"What! How could it be?" Gavin shouted.

Gavin was so shocked that he dropped his cigarette on the table. "Ridiculous! My sister was a virgin then. How could she have given birth to a baby girl!"

Hiram raised his head and glanced at the phone, his eyes turning cold.

He clenched his fists.

Gavin collapsed on his chair after he hung up the phone, feeling his blood pressure rising. Joanna came over at once and held him in her arms. "Take it easy, please! Come on, drink some water. Calm down!" she said, passing the cup of water on the table to Gavin.

Gavin took the cup with shaking fingers and downed it, trying to get over his shock.

"Hiram, is Rachel coming back today?" he asked feebly.

Hiram looked down at the ground and replied reluctantly, "Yes, she'll arrive this evening."

"Okay, just in time. I think we should tell her about this, " Gavin said without any hesitation.

Hiram left the study without a reply.

He called Chad as he walked down the stairs.

"Listen, I've an urgent work for you. Go and find out who else is looking into this matter. Contact our men and pay another visit to everyone you found related to this!

Check if there's anything we missed. Investigate every clue we've gotten and get to the bottom of it! Figure out what's true and what's not!"

After leaving his parents' house and getting into his car, Hiram made another call.

"Honey, where are you?" he asked softly, putting aside the mess in his mind.

Having Hiram's question on the phone, Rachel looked outside and asked Carl, "Where are we now, Carl?"

"We'll arrive at H City in an hour, Rachel!" replied Carl from the driver's seat.

"I'll be home in an hour. Are you okay?" asked Rachel. She didn't know why but she felt like there was something wrong with him.
