Such a Rude and Noisy Woman

Thank God

Nothing happened that night.

After breakfast, Hiram dropped Rachel outside the Rong's house. She took a taxi to her friend Celine's home.

So many things had happened recently, it would drive her crazy if she didn't share them with someone.

On the way to Celine's home, she kept feeling like somebody was following her, but whenever she looked back, there was no one there.

She wondered why she always had such illusions these days. Was it an after-affect of the head injury?

At Celine's home...

Celine was a good listener. Rachel told her all about the incredible things she'd suffered recently.

"Rachel, is the Rong family you're talking about the most mysterious family in H City?" Celine asked. "It's said that they never accept any interviews, and nobody knows what the big boss looks like. It seems he's settled abroad and rarely comes back.

If you're talking about them, then this is a great deal for you! Although you'll only be married for a month, you'll get great compensation after the divorce!"

Rachel leaned against the armrest of the sofa and grabbed a packet of snacks. With a mouthful of chips, she said,"That can never happen! It's been clearly indicated in the marriage agreement that I won't get even a penny from the Rong family, except a little basic compensation. He's a miser!"

"I can't believe it!" Celine cried. "After all, your marriage was arranged by your great-grandfathers when you were not even born. How could you agree to such unfair terms? You should've at least asked them to pay you a good sum of money!"

Shaking her head, Rachel said,"If you meet him, you would understand. He's too smart. He had me all figured out right from the beginning. He's kept me under his control all the time!"

An idea struck Celine. "Rachel, have you ever thought about making the marriage a reality?" she asked. "Then you can get much more money!"

"But how?" Rachel listened carefully while chewing the chips.

"Find an opportunity to slip drugs into his drinks. If he acts on an impulse — you know what I mean — then you can accuse him. Since he does the wrong thing, he must compensate you!
