Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 85

"No problem. Okay then, I will send you the invitation card. I'll look forward to your presence!" Hiram smiled and firmly grabbed Rachel's hands. His gesture felt like a generous compliment to her.

Rachel didn't know that such concerns were the exact reason why Hiram had disapproved of their marriage in the beginning.

The future Mrs. Rong of the Rong family wasn't a flower that could only stay in the greenhouse.

Being Hiram's wife wasn't easy. Only a woman with a powerful background or rich experience was cut out for this title. Otherwise, it was nearly impossible to meet his expectations.

"One thing is for sure. No matter what happens, even if the world went to pieces, I would still attend your wedding!" Patrick laughed. He was sitting far from Hiram, and he raised a toast to Hiram.

Hiram smiled, but he didn't utter a word. He clinked glasses with Rachel and asked her, "What's going on? I thought you wanted to have a few drinks…"

Rachel took her glass of wine to take a sip and murmured, "What I wanted was to drink with you, just the two of us and no one else."

"Alright then, when we reach home, if you still want to drink something, I will join you." Hiram smiled and whispered into Rachel's ears.

Patrick was sitting across them. He kept glancing at the couple, especially at Rachel. He remembered that earlier Hiram didn't use to have an emotional connection with women.

When did this woman become a part of the Rong family?

To his surprise, Hiram was being really nice to her.

The gathering was almost over but Rachel couldn't stand the stifling atmosphere anymore. So she excused herself to go to the bathroom but, instead she went outside to relax for a while.

Hiram was a powerful man, and Patrick seemed no less either. The two men made Rachel feel so stressed out that she couldn't breathe.

Rachel was standing in front of a window. It was a little windy, and her long hair was fluttering in the wind. She stretched herself and took a deep breath of fresh air.

However, when she turned around, she found a man standing in the corridor and looking at her, with a cigar in his mouth.

When she figured out who the man was, Rachel stepped back out of instinct.

"Are you scared of me? I thought you were a brave woman considering you married such a powerful man like Hiram. I don't think you need to keep your guard up in front of me."

Patrick Yan smoked his cigar and eyed her up and down. He was standing in the dark, just like a cheetah ready to pounce on its prey.

"Hi, Mr. Yan. You came outside to relax too!" Rachel brought up another topic and tried her best to suppress the fear in her eyes.

She had Hiram to accompany her at the VIP room. But now she was alone. It was natural for her to feel scared of him.

"I am curious why a man like Hiram would choose you as his fiancee. Perhaps you have some extremely attractive features that I haven't noticed yet, " said Patrick. He approached her abruptly. It seemed that he wanted to sniff her scent and find out what was special about her.

He had seen a lot of women. When he saw Rachel, he perceived in one glance that she wasn't from a well-known or wealthy family.

Rachel didn't behave like the women he had seen before.

Rachel smiled and stepped back without him noticing, "Mr. Yan, you are thinking too much. Hiram and I were engaged even before we were born. I guess Hiram didn't have a choice…"

She tried to make a joke about this. And when she wanted to go back to the room, her wrist was grabbed by someone.

It was a firm grip and it hurt a little bit. It seemed that the man who grabbed her wrist knew nothing about taking care of a woman.

"Is that so? I don't think you are telling the truth. Hiram isn't that kind of man who would just yield to fate. Miss Ruan, you…" Before Patrick finished his sentence, his hand got pulled out, and Rachel was held in another man's arms.

"Patrick, I thought you came outside to catch a breath. I didn't realize you are interested in my fiancee?" Hiram's eyes were half closed. Although he smiled when he spoke to Patrick, there was something frightful in his words.

Rachel hid herself in Hiram's arms. She was nervous. One of the two men was like a cheetah in the wild forest while the other was like a lion, dignified and inviolable.

She used to think that Hiram was like a wolf. But compared to Patrick, Hiram was more like a lion.

"No, no, no, I wouldn't dare to do that? I am just curious to know what kind of woman would attract you. Mr. Rong, we all know that you never hang out with women. Look at you, Mr. Rong. I haven't even talked to Rachel in three sentences and see how worried you are!" Patrick moved his wrist.

He understood that Hiram had given him a stern warning, but his curiosity got the better of him.

"It's getting late now. I have already paid the bill. Patrick, enjoy yourself. Rachel and I need to leave!" said Hiram. He grabbed Rachel's hand and left for home.

Outside the bar, Carl was waiting for them by the car.

When she got in the car, Rachel breathed a sigh of relief. She was confused, and she asked, "Hiram, what the hell is wrong with Patrick Yan?"

Upon hearing Patrick's name, Carl, who was sitting in the front seat, said, "Rachel, do you mean Patrick? Are you talking about Patrick Yan? Did you meet him at the bar?"

"Yes, I am talking about him. Carl, what do you know about him?" Rachel leaned against the front seat and asked Carl.

"Let's put it this way. Fifty percent of the Rong family's court cases are against the Yan family. The Yan family didn't rise to fame until the past decade. Patrick Yan is famous for his heartlessness. Although their business is much smaller than the Rong family's business, still they are a strong competitor, " said Carl.

Hiram looked at the woman in his arms and said, "Just stay away from him whenever you see him. He is very vindictive. As long as you don't piss him off, he wouldn't try to harm you."

Rachel nodded her head and asked another question, "By the way, do you have any other enemies that I should know about. Tell me all about them so that I can keep them in mind!"

Hiram softly touched Rachel's nose right after she finished her sentence, "Hey, you young lady, why are you cursing me to have enemies!"

Carl was driving the car, and he couldn't help laughing. He said, "Rachel, let me tell you. The Rong family does have many enemies. But only a few of them could compete with the Rong family."

Patrick Yan could be counted as their biggest and the most competent competitor. As for the rest of them, they were not a real threat to the Rong family.

"The Rong family's fame and status can't just be challenged by some random person! Even Patrick Yan would not dare to challenge the Rong family in public. He might use some tricks, and that's all he can do. I don't think he could do anything beyond that!"

Listening to Carl, Rachel blinked her eyes. She pretended to be regretful and came into Hiram's embrace, "What can I do, Hiram? It seems like I am on a pirate ship, and I can't get off now."

What if she was kidnapped or blackmailed again in the future? She might lose her life easily!

Hiram couldn't help but laugh on Rachel's words. He said, "Alright then, I will sign the divorce agreement when I get it. And you will be free."

Rachel's face immediately turned gloomy. She stared at him, "You did it on purpose. It seems like you are eagerly waiting for me to divorce you!"

Then, Hiram lifted her chin and kissed her.

"Yes, you are on my pirate ship! And there is only a one-way ticket. Once you get on, there is no way you can get off!"

Hiram's strong voice could be heard in the whole car. And every single word he said had been listened clearly by Rachel.

Carl was driving smoothly, but he hit the brakes suddenly.

Rachel got startled when Carl said, "Hiram, a van has blocked our way. Let me get down to check it out!"
