Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 73

The table was laden with food.

Hiram was the first one to start eating without hesitation. But even though he was so arrogant, he was still perfect in the eyes of Colin and his wife.

"Hiram, I'm Simpson's brother. An uncle of mine didn't have a son, so I was adopted by him. But in fact, Simpson and I are biological brothers, " Colin said, biting the bullet and starting the conversation since they were all eating in silence.

Hiram responded with a curt and low murmur. Then he continued to eat without even raising his head.

"Hiram, this is my daughter, Vicky! Colin often told me that the great-grandfathers had decided on the marriage between the Rong and Ruan families a long time ago. We didn't have the fortune of fulfilling this decision before, but things are different now, "

Selina said, pinching Vicky so she would raise her head. She continued, "Now we have two girls in the Ruan family. Both are pretty, especially my daughter, Vicky. Look at her, she has blossomed into a breathtakingly beautiful lady."

Rachel restrained herself from letting out a laugh. Despite knowing that they had come to try to get Vicky married to Hiram, she still found the whole situation funny.

She had never seen a mother commending her daughter like that before.

Rachel gave Hiram a nudge and said, "My aunt asked you to look at Vicky. You should look up and have a look, just one look."

Hiram glanced at Rachel with a resigned smile. His eyes followed the direction in which Rachel was looking. When he saw the shy expression on Vicky's pretty face, he nodded and said, "You're right, she is beautiful. Rachel, you have a good sister."

Colin knew that Hiram rarely gave compliments, so when he heard him complimenting his daughter, Vicky, he straightened up proudly and nudged Vicky to remind her to do as they had planned.

Vicky shyly kept her head down and stood up when her father winked his eyes at her. She poured a glass of wine and walked around the table with it towards Hiram.

"Hiram, I'm Vicky. I'd like to propose a toast to you." Vicky gazed at Hiram's handsome face. A closer look at Hiram made her realize that his face was attractive and dignified without any flaws.

Her heart started pounding all of a sudden, and her hand, which was holding onto the wine glass, started trembling lightly.

Noting Vicky's shaking hand, Hiram took the wine glass from her and said, "Thanks, Vicky."

He drank the wine in one go.

Vicky felt like she was on cloud nine. Hiram's glance was magical and seemed to drain the strength out of her.

When she returned to her seat, she raised her head and straightened up.

Vicky thought that she was also the granddaughter of the Ruan family and she was equally as good as Rachel. Rachel could say and do whatever she liked in front of Hiram, why couldn't she?

Rachel knew that Colin and his wife were eager to know Hiram's feelings, so she asked him the question that was on their minds.

"Hiram, what do you think of Vicky?"

Hiram paused for a moment. Then, he turned to Rachel and asked, "You mean you want me to introduce Vicky to a handsome and successful man? That's all right. I'll see if there is a match for her when we return home."

Rachel blinked, thinking that it was really a good response. He was almost perfect at playing dumb.

"Hir--" Rachel started, but Hiram interrupted her.

"Rachel." He placed his hand on Rachel's shoulder and, ignoring the people in the room, whispered in her ear, "Why are you doing this? Are you in a hurry to divorce me?"

She had put him in such an awkward situation.

It was lucky that Rachel was the person who was doing this. If it was someone else, he would have already left the table.

"No, I'm not. But they've tried all means to see you. They even made their way to our house. If I want to settle this once and for all, I have no choice but to be the matchmaker, " Rachel murmured in a low voice, head bowed.

Fortunately the table was big and the room was spacious, so their whispers went unheard by Colin and his family.

When Rachel lowered her head, Hiram caught a glimpse of her beautiful body under the plain dress. His eyes darkened with excitement. "Is that true?" he asked.

"Of course, why would I lie?" Rachel asked, not aware of what he had seen. She straightened up a bit.

Colin waited for Hiram and Rachel to stop talking, then he said, "Hiram, Fannie hid this information from you from the beginning, so you didn't know it. It was her mistake. She's good in every way, except that she disregards moral principles in pursuit of profit."

Hearing him dishonor her mother, Rachel's expression changed suddenly from chirpy to unhappy.

The reason why she hadn't let Fannie come over was because she didn't want things to go beyond control and develop into a big issue. However, that didn't mean they could insult her mother at will.

"Mr. Ruan, it doesn't matter whether I know about this information or not. This has nothing to do with my mother-in-law, " Hiram responded in Fannie's defense with no regard for Colin's feelings.

Hearing Colin insult Fannie, he felt as provoked as Rachel did.

"This, this..." Colin was rendered speechless by Hiram's reaction. He didn't know what to say after hearing Hiram refer to Fannie as his mother-in-law.

Throwing aside her dignity, Selina spoke directly, "Hiram, here is the fact. Both Rachel and Vicky are from the Ruan family. Now, since you two haven't held the wedding ceremony yet, you should consider if Vicky could be your future wife!"

What she meant was that she could be Hiram's mother-in-law instead of Fannie.

If she were Hiram's mother-in-law, no one would dare to bully her.

Rachel didn't utter a single word, knowing Selina had finally said what she really had on her mind.

She had said it in such a direct way.

But it was also shameless.

Hiram smirked with contempt as he said, "So, you're saying that you want me to divorce Rachel and marry your daughter?"

Colin and Selina nodded their heads vehemently. That was right indeed. That was exactly what they meant!

Hiram burst into laughter. 'It's so interesting. These people are really fun, ' he thought.

They were talking in such a brazen way.

"But almost all parents with daughters in H City must have the same thoughts you have. They all want me to marry their daughters. However, my grandfather told me that Rachel, the daughter of Simpson, was the one he selected to be my wife, "

Hiram said calmly.

Hearing that, Rachel also looked at Hiram.

She hadn't known that before.

"Hiram..."

"Besides, I fancy the wife I have now. I remember when my grandfather told my fortune for me. He said that we were born to be husband and wife and that she would make my career more successful, " Hiram said, gazing at Rachel with deep affection in his eyes. Rachel felt like he was talking directly to her.

"Hiram, my daughter Vicky could also bring you a more successful career, " Selina said, standing up spontaneously.

But the response she got from Hiram was, "Get out. Don't forget to close the door behind you." He had finally lost his patience with them. How dare these shameless social climbers have the intention of marrying their daughter to him? They were overestimating themselves, unaware of how stupid they were.

"Hiram..." Colin and Selina pleaded, like a pair of dying fish making a futile attempt to gasp for the last breath.

"Get out of my sight now!"

Hiram grabbed the tea urn beside him and smashed it onto the ground with a bang. Carl, who was standing at the door, walked into the room immediately and said to the three of them, "You three, please get out!"
