Such a Rude and Noisy Woman

Chapter 422 Who Was Injured

Rachel stood before Celine in order to protect her, as she saw the police approaching them ghastly.

However, Celine pulled Rachel away and comforted her by saying,"Rachel, it isn't a big deal, really! I

beat her only because I had too much to drink. The only low point here is the two-day detention,

nothing else, really!"

"You silly girl, I will never leave you alone! Ever!"

Rachel said firmly. At that exact moment, a man rushed in started asking questions to a witness

anxiously,"Who is injured? !"

It was Hiram, who had just barged in hastily. When he asked, the witness pointed towards a woman,

who was holding her head in her hands. Without a slightest hint of hesitation, Hiram pulled away the

woman's hands from her head to find out if it was Rachel.

The woman instantly got very annoyed, as Hiram grasped her hands, but at the same time she was

attracted by Hiram's face.

"Hey, what's up?" the woman asked in a low, quivering voice.

Hiram immediately shook her hands off as soon as he realized it wasn't Rachel. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

He took a sigh of relief and turned around to see where Rachel really was. He glanced around the

room, and finally saw Rachel sitting on a sofa.

As soon as their eyes met, Rachel walked towards Hiram and said,"How did you manage to come here

so soon?"

Hiram didn't say a word but just checked out Rachel from top to bottom and then turned her around to

check her back. He was relieved once he made sure that Rachel wasn't hurt. He then replied to her

question,"I wasn't far from here. What happened, tell me?"

Sweeping over Celine and Philip, Rachel explained,"Celine and Philip had broken up, not long ago

though, and as soon as she found out that Philip was already dating some girl, she lost her cool. She

was very drunk and angry, so she beat up that girl out of momentary impulse."

Hiram was not surprised by her behavior, as Celine was pretty much capable of pulling something like

this. Precisely, a moment later, two policemen walked in and intended to take Celine back to the police

station.

On seeing this, Rachel stood before Celine and asked the two policemen,"Sir, can we coordinate it

between ourselves? It's an emotional dispute not a physical one. We will cover the costs of both,

physical and mental treatment for her. Please just don't take Celine away."

Hiram pulled Rachel near him and whispered into her ears,"Dear, they have to investigate it thoroughly.

For now, let them take Celine back to the police station, and I will take care of the rest."

On seeing Celine being taken away, Rachel walked up to Philip.

"Philip, you were with Celine for over a year. Although you guys broke up, she still has feelings for you.

I'm really hoping you could persuade your girlfriend to withdraw her accusation. I'm asking for it as a

huge favor,"

Rachel begged to him in a soft voice.

Celine was already depressed when she found out that Philip was dating some another girl, she'd

collapse if she'd have to go through with the detention.

Hiram stood beside Rachel, in her support.

A doctor and a nurse walked in and bandaged the injured woman, who was Philip's girlfriend. The

doctor further said,"Your wounds are not serious. The bleeding has stopped so there won't be any need

to stitch them up. You can take an X-ray tomorrow if you still have any concerns."

On hearing this, Rachel sighed with relief. She was just about to speak something, but Hiram

interrupted her.

"Hi, Philip, it is nice to meet you. I'm Hiram. Do you remember me?" Hiram greeted Philip in a flat tone.

Philip met Hiram once before while he was still with Celine.

He nodded his head in affirmation and said,"Mr. Rong, glad to meet you."

"Well. I'm not here to ask you for a favor. It's Celine's fault, so you and your friend should follow the

procedure and get her punished, if that's what you'd like to do. You can sue her or hire a lawyer,

whatever suits you the best. Rachel and I will have no objection to your decision." Hiram had put

forwards a rational notion.

However, Rachel was shook on hearing what Hiram said. 'What did he mean we won't have any

objections? Why didn't he persuade Philip to withdraw the accusation?' she thought.

"No, Mr. Rong. There is no need for you to diffuse the situation. In all honesty, it's my fault too. We will

withdraw the accusation. What do you think?" Philip asked his girlfriend.

The woman nodded awkwardly in affirmation and looked at Hiram, whose words raised a blush on her

cheeks.

"Okay. Since it is your decision, I hope you'd be able to explain your reason of withdrawal to the police.

Also, it's always better to break up amicably, that might lead you in remaining friends in the future,"

Hiram said in a low voice.

"Yes, probably you're right," said Philip. He then took his girlfriend's hand and walked outside, where

the police waited for them.

Philip was a clever man. He knew that there would be no benefit in opposing Hiram. He had rather

chose to do what Hiram had asked him to, so that Hiram would owe him a favor.

As one of the person concerned, he must explain it clearly to the police.

After they left, Hiram took Rachel out of the bar. With a frown on his face, Hiram asked her,"Did you

ask for a leave in order to help Celine fight?"

"Um. Well, I just bumped into her. You know Celine helped me a lot when I wasn't in the company. She

was disappointed in love, but she still had to work hard. I feel really sorry for her," said Rachel.

"Hiram, could you please do me a favor?"

said Rachel.

While looking at her serious face, Hiram ran his fingers through Rachel's soft hair. "Let me guess. You

want me to help Celine find a Mr. Right, don't you?"

"Yes!" Rachel nodded eagerly.

"It is in fact a pretty difficult task. Affection is different from business, Rachel. People love each other

out of their own willingness not because they were instructed to do so," Hiram said as he put his arm

around Rachel's shoulder. They walked along the street outside the bar.

Chad drove slowly behind them.

"But I can't just sit here and watch Celine being so sad and depressed. The best way to forget about a

past relationship is by starting a new one, isn't it? We should at least give it a try and see what

happens. Celine might like the man you introduce her to."

Rachel was pretty worried about Celine, as it was time for Celine to get married.

Noticing how worried Rachel was, Hiram comforted her in a soft voice,"I promise you. I will keep an eye

on the men around me and arrange a date for Celine as long as there is a good man."

"Thank you and remember your words. Anyway, there are so many people in your company, so it won't

be that tough to find a good guy. I shall remind you every day," Rachel said seriously.

She had made up her mind to find the Mr. Right for Celine.

Hiram sighed and took Rachel to the car parked by the roadside. "Okay, I will do something about it

since I've promised you."

"Can we please go to the police station? I would want to drive Celine home after she resolves her

troubles," Rachel asked Hiram, as she held his arm and looked at him beseechingly.

"… Fine!" Hiram agreed as he saw Rachel's bright twinkly eyes.

They soon reached the police station. As soon as Celine finished her oral confession, they drove her

home and went back to the Tulip Palace.

It got pretty late by the time they reached home.

Rachel was just about to sleep when Hiram poured a glass of red wine for her and said,"Red wine will

help sleep."

Leaning back against the headboard, Rachel almost dozed off. She tried really hard to keep her eyes

open and take the glass but she was failing miserably.

She yawned and said,"Why are you giving me this glass of wine? Did you put ecstasy or something in

this red wine?"

Rachel said playfully and took a sip.

It tasted delectable. The red wine Hiram picked always turned out to be good.

Hiram remained quiet even after listening to Rachel's question. He sat on a chair next to the bed, while

he shook the glass of red wine and looked at Rachel with a smirk.

"You looked very tired. I give you the wine just to help you relax, or you'd end up having nightmares."

"Really? Is that why you gave me the wine? I think you just want to get me drunk and do something…

Um?!" Before she could even finish her sentence, she took yet another sip of her wine and left the

sentence incomplete.

She thought to herself that what Hiram wanted to do was more than helping her relax.
