Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 215

Seeing Rachel walking up to him, Hiram reached out to hold her hand and passed her a glass of wine.

"Come here, honey! Let's propose a toast to Uncle Richard," he said.

Rachel took the glass in her hand and turned to Richard with a big smile on her face. "Uncle Richard, I've been hearing about you for a long time, and now, I'm finally getting the chance to meet you in person. You look more magnificent than I thought!"

"Really? You're so sweet! Hiram, congratulations! Bottoms up!" Richard said approvingly and drained his glass. "When will you two hold your wedding? I'm looking forward to seeing you exchange oaths!"

Hiram finished his wine and put his glass on the plate held by a waiter near them. He also took Rachel's glass, from which she'd only taken a sip, and put it on the plate before answering Richard's question. "Soon! At the end of this year."

"Great! But look at my Hearst, I'm afraid I won't live to see his big day! He's hanging out with so many women but he never introduces any of them to us. It's really getting on my nerves!" Richard sighed and shook his head, not knowing that Hearst was sitting right behind them.

Hearing his father's complaint, Hearst mumbled," Dad, did you forget that I'm two years younger than Hiram? I promise I'll find a virtuous wife and bring her to see you and mom in two years! Can you just stop complaining now?"

he asked, glancing at Rachel. He'd known this would happen if Rachel showed up to the party.

Everyone around them burst into laughter at Hearst's words.

Rachel noticed that Gavin hadn't shown up at such an important family gathering. Joanna was sitting at a table and chatting with other elder ladies.

Later, at dinner, Rachel noticed that Hiram seemed to be a little drunk. People came over to toast him one after another, and he kept pouring wine into his mouth without any hesitation. Rachel thought there might be two reasons why he was drinking without any control; the first was that it was a family gathering that happened only once a year, and the second was that their wedding was coming.

Meanwhile, in one of the cabins, Shirley was on her phone.

"Shirley, are you really at the Rong family's gathering party?"

"Yes, Lydia! You know I wouldn't waste such a good opportunity. I'm going to try my best to humiliate Rachel in front of all the elders, so that Hiram will leave her."

"Listen to me, Shirley! Stop doing stupid things! I know my father well. He's going to continue pursuing the matter of Aunt Landy's death. So, we don't need to do anything now. Things seem to be going well. Let's wait and see what will happen. Don't risk everything!" Lydia said quickly, trying to talk Shirley out of her plan.

"Lydia, I know what I'm doing! Don't worry! Uncle Gavin always considers the interests of the whole family, so he won't let outsiders find out about personal family affairs. What I'm going to do is add fuel to the fire. When there's more gossip, it will keep people busy and distracted, and we can take what we want," Shirley said confidently.

"Shirley, I don't know what you're planning! You didn't tell me anything!" Lydia was shocked at the way Shirley was behaving. She used to think that Shirley was a naive girl, but now, she couldn't read her at all.

"Okay, Lydia, there's not much time! I'd better go inside. See you!" Shirley said, hanging up.

She looked around in the darkness before walking to the lower deck, where the guest rooms were located.

It was past midnight.

"Honey, go to sleep. I know you're tired. I'll join you in a moment," Hiram whispered to Rachel, touching her forehead with his. He was more than a little drunk.

"Okay, I'm leaving. Take care and don't drink anymore!" Rachel touched his head. She knew that at social events, Hiram usually had a few glasses but didn't get too drunk. Besides, she couldn't stop him from drinking at such an occasion.

She stood up and walked to their cabin.

Once inside, she took off her dress and put on the nightgown she'd brought. She wasn't comfortable with the idea of sleeping naked in a place she'd never been to before. She felt more at ease sleeping with her clothes on.

Exhausted by the long day she'd had, she dozed off in a few seconds.

What she didn't know was, something big was happening while she was asleep.

The door to the cabin Rachel was in was opened again half an hour later.

The heavy footsteps woke her up but she was too sleepy to open her eyes, assuming that it was Hiram finally coming to sleep. She turned over to put her hands on his waist after he threw himself onto the bed.

But the moment her hand touched his waist, she realized that something was wrong. Hiram had been working out a lot and had strong abdominal muscles, but the man lying beside her had a soft belly. It wasn't Hiram.

The realization shook her awake, and she got up immediately. It was pitch dark in the room, and she felt her heart beating so fast that it was about to jump out of her chest.

'The man on the bed isn't Hiram, ' Rachel confirmed to herself.

She grabbed her phone from under the pillow and looked at the man in the dim light of her screen. She was so shocked that she almost dropped her phone on his head. It was Hearst!

Without thinking, Rachel kicked him off from the bed, getting the strength to do it out of nowhere.

"What the fuck!"

Hearst shouted on the ground. Managing to sit up, he rubbed his waist, where Rachel had kicked him. When he finally saw the person who was holding the phone flashlight, he screamed out.

"Quiet! Quick, answer me! Why are you in my room? And where's Hiram now?" Rachel asked.

Hearst, who was still trying to sober up after having drunk so much, said," I remember someone helping me get back to my room, but why...

Why are you sleeping in my room, Rachel? This is my room, right?"

All he could remember was someone helping him get back to his room. After that, he'd somehow stumbled inside and thrown himself onto the bed.

Rachel realized that she couldn't learn more information from him in the state he was in, so she said," It's not. What's your room number? Bring me to your room now!"

Hearst struggled to his feet, smoothed down his suit and moved mechanically to the door. "How did I get here? Who brought me here? Shit, I can't remember a thing!" Hearst murmured, frowning.

"Hurry up! Stop complaining!" Rachel urged him.

Her only thought was Hiram. Where on earth was he at this moment? Everyone at the party had retired to their cabins and gone to sleep a long time ago.

Once they were outside the cabin, Hearst searched all over himself to find his room card, but he couldn't find it. Rubbing his hair, he asked himself hysterically," Which room is mine? Room 2006 or Room 2009?

Don't worry, Rachel. Just give me one second! Oh, I remember! It's 2009. My sister preferred Room 2006, so I left it to her!"

Finally figuring out where his room was, he pointed and headed to the end of the corridor.

When they reached Room 2009, Hearst pulled the handle of the door, but he couldn't open it. He turned to Rachel and said," It's locked, and I can't open it without my card!"

Looking at his face, which looked exactly like Hiram's, made Rachel even more anxious. "Kick it open!" she shouted at him.

"What? No, I can't. I might hurt my legs," Hearst replied, shaking his head, and took a few steps back from the door. Born into a rich family, he'd been coddled since childhood and had never put himself in rough situations.

"Hurry up! Kick it open! Or I'll shout loudly that you're taking advantage of me. What do you think Hiram will do when he hears?" Rachel shouted.

Hearst shook his head immediately. He'd been scared of Hiram since he was a little boy, and there was no way he could face him now if Rachel really did something like that.

He retreated, rubbed his hands together, and kicked the door hard. But it didn't open.

Rachel sneered and said," That's the best you can do? I can't believe you! Be a man!"

Provoked by Rachel's harsh words, Hearst rolled up his sleeves and kicked again, this time with all his strength.

The door flew open with a bang.

Rachel pulled Hearst aside and rushed into the room, pressing the switch in the hallway. At once, it was as bright as day.

But Rachel was speechless when she saw who were lying on the bed.
