Chapter 59 The Trouble Caused By Lydia

Since it was his family issue, she thought she'd better stay out of it instead of creating more trouble for him.

There was little she could do to help him now.

Carl was in charge of sending her home. While Hiram was taken by another car. He would be sent to his parents' home directly.

When Hiram arrived at his parents' house, he saw his mother Joanna already waiting for him on the couch in the living room. She looked a little distressed.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Hiram asked.

When Joanna saw him, she stood up and pulled him aside to the guest room. "Hiram, I'm afraid that things have become more complicated now, " Joanna said.

Hiram furrowed his eyebrows at the embarrassment on his mother's face. "Mom, what happened?" he asked.

"Well, the thing is... Rachel's mom came by to talk about the wedding when you weren't home. Lydia overheard it and did something terrible."

Joanna sighed deeply before continuing, "First of all, we didn't tell your mother-in-law everything about our family before. Now the situation has gotten worse after what Lydia said... I don't know what happened to her these two years to make her become so unsociable that she would say... that she would say..." Joanna seemed to be too shocked to finish the sentence.

Hearing that, Hiram furrowed his brow even deeper. If Lydia hadn't said anything terrible, his mother wouldn't be so anxious. Lydia had definitely said something that she wasn't supposed to say.

"Lydia has been really spoiled by me. It was out of my expectation that she would say you and her were engaged long before. And if not for Rachel, you two would be married a long time ago, " Joanna kept saying.

She shook her head, as if to blame herself. She was also regretting not being truthful to Fannie. If she had told Fannie everything right from the start, then...

"Your mother-in-law is also a dignified person. How can she accept something like that? She said that as soon as Rachel gets back, she will let her know. And if we can't give them a good explanation, she will ask Rachel to move out from your place, " Joanna continued.

"How about Lydia? Where is she now?" Hiram asked suddenly.

Joanna shook her head and said, "I think she knows how much trouble she has created. After all, your marriage was decided by your great-grandfathers a long time ago. I haven't seen her since this afternoon.

I think she has hidden herself. She's been hiding herself whenever she created any trouble since she was a child."

At the same time...

Jean Wen sacrificed herself for family interests. Before her husband divorced her, she made every effort to please him.

"You are inexperienced in bed," he said coldly.

"You! Give that land to my family, or I won't agree to divorce," Jean replied furiously.

"Fine. It is exactly what I am thinking about," he sneered.

water rushing from the bathroom.

He threw open the door of the bathroom. Rachel had just finished pulling her pants up, so the movement had frightened her. She hadn't locked the door since she was at home.

When Hiram saw her inside, his heartbeat slowed back to normal.

"What's wrong? Why are you so nervous? Are you afraid that I'll run away?" Rachel asked, noticing his forehead, which was covered in a thin layer of sweat already.

"I thought you might have gone back with your mother, " Hiram answered directly without denying it. And then he pulled her out of the bathroom.

"How can I dare to go back without your permission?" she asked. "Have you forgotten? I've accepted 100 million dollars as the bride price. Even if it's not for your sake, I have to stay for the money's sake. Right?"

Hiram couldn't help but laugh at her words. What a nice term, 'bride price'. But the term he had used initially before Rachel changed it was 'bed warming charge'.

It didn't matter what reason she gave, it only mattered that she wouldn't leave.

As for the money, it could be considered as his sincerity.

"Well, can you let go of my hand now? We can sit down and have a good talk, " Rachel said, pointing to the empty couch.

She thought she should give him the benefit of the doubt.

When she was accused of having an affair with Manager Zhang in her company, Hiram had stood with her till the end. He had trusted her so much.

It was only right that she trusted him too.

Hearing what Rachel said, instead of letting her hand go, Hiram gripped it even tighter.

In a split-second, before Rachel could even react, Hiram roughly pulled her to his chest.
