Chapter 219 Deceiving Lydia

Hiram couldn't help replaying the memories of that night again and again to find some detail he had missed. When he finally gave up, he looked at his watch and found that it was already late, so he got up, grabbed his coat and went home.

When he arrived at Tulip Palace, the first thing he noticed was that the light was on in his bedroom.

He thought to himself, 'It's impossible, but I must have forgotten to turn the light off before leaving.' But when he opened the door of the bedroom, he was surprised.

Rachel was sitting on the bed and using her laptop. At the sound of the door opening, she looked up.

"You're back?" she asked.

Then, she lowered her head and continued to type something on her laptop.

Hiram stayed at the door and looked at Rachel for a while, trying to figure out whether the scene in front of him was real or not. Then, he strode toward her.

He had assumed that Rachel wouldn't come back home unless he could find evidence to prove that he hadn't had sex with Shirley. So not only did her presence here surprise him, but it also warmed his heart.

"My dear wife,"

Hiram called in a soft voice, sitting beside her and holding her tightly.

"You don't have to feel guilty. I trust you."

Rachel turned her head and looked into his eyes. She said," Just think about it. It was too much of a coincidence that Hearst appeared in my room while Shirley was with you.

Maybe this is why Shirley insisted on coming to the family gathering with Susan. She wanted me to misunderstand you. If I do what she wanted me to do, I'll just be falling into her trap."

Hiram slowly loosened his grip on her, his dark eyes flashing with worries. It would be hard for him to tell her the result now.

"Rachel, I'm sorry. I passed out completely last night. But in that state, I definitely wouldn't have been able to get an erection." He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Although he knew that it was impossible for him to have had sex with Shirley, he didn't want to lie to Rachel.

"I know, but Shirley kept insisting that you had sex with her. So if we just let her take the test, things will be clear, right?" Rachel said. If Hiram had had sex with Shirley, there would be traces of his semen inside her.

Hearing her words, Hiram blinked his eyes and then said in a low voice," The result of the test... has come out."

Rachel closed the laptop and said," The result has come out? So it's clear now. Shirley plotted the whole thing!

Since she's Lydia's best friend, she doesn't want

“Let's go and register our marriage on your birthday!”

Marrying Daniel should have been her best birthday gift, but everything was ruined the moment when she caught him sleeping with another woman on the day before her birthday.

“He’s going to marry that woman! She... was my best friend!"

to you later." Shirley waved to him, then turned around and left.

Once she was a few paces away, she brushed off the parts of her clothes where Jasper had touched her in disgust.

'It seems that I'll have to throw away my clothes again. He's just a doctor doing his internship. How could he believe that I like him? What a naive, stupid man!' she thought.

As soon as she walked out of the hospital, she received a phone call from Lydia.

She didn't want to answer the phone, but she had to.

She had already cut her call once. If she didn't answer the phone now, Lydia would start doubting her.

"Hello, Lydia?" she said in a sweet and kind voice.

Although Lydia was in America, she had already found out what had happened last night from other sources.

"Shirley, tell me. Is it true that you had sex with Hiram last night?" Lydia asked her directly. She had had a feeling that something bad would happen.

Things were going out of her control.

She had realized early on that Shirley liked Hiram, even though Shirley never told her about it. Instead, she had always supported Lydia, gradually throwing Lydia off her guard so that she would think of her as a sister.

"Lydia, you've already heard? I admit I was scheming against Rachel, but... I met Hiram later when he was drunk, and we... I didn't do it deliberately. It was Hiram. He..."

"Stop, Shirley! You can deceive other people, but you can't deceive me!" Lydia said, cutting her off.

"I grew up with him since I was a little girl. If it were really possible for a woman to seduce him while he's drunk, I would have been married to him already! No other man has as much self-discipline as Hiram does."
