Chapter 124 Announcement Of The Divorce Agreement


    Selina sniffed, like she didn''t care at all. She stared down at Fannie and retorted, "Wow, wow, wow!


    Look who''s being cheeky now? You''re the one who bumped into the car. And now you me me for


    pushing you? If I had pushed you, I would have gone all the way and made sure that you were dead!


    So that we''ll never have to see your face or hear your annoying voiceining about me now!"


    "Enough! We''re a family. You two are sisters-inw. How could you two talk to each other like that?


    Selina, we''re your uncles and aunties. Where did you pick up an attitude like that? Mind your manners


    and show some respect!" Rachel''s granduncle said as he knocked on his cane.


    Then Colin who had been silent, walked into the room. He strode towards granduncle and put his


    hands on the old man''s shoulders. "Calm down, uncle. They''re not as bad as they sound. I agree, they


    both have sharp and poisonous tongues. You know, women are like that to each other, sometimes."


    "Colin, if what you say is true, then you''d better ask Selina to apologize to Fannie. Rachel is Hiram''s


    wife. She is already part of that family. These two shouldn''t yak at each other and keep fighting each


    other. It makes this family look bad. People will think that we are a joke."


    Granduncle was visibly upset as he struck the floor with his cane.


    If someone told other people about how they fought within the family, how would other people think of


    them? They would think that the Ruan family were gold diggers and opportunists who were unable to


    resist temptation. They''d get a reputation of being too eager to be rich and famous and willing to do


    anything to achieve that.


    Rumors like that spread easily like wildfire and the dignity and reputation of the Ruan Family would be


    gone forever! And it would take generations to recover.


    Selina snorted and looked at him. "Uncle, you are wrong. Totally wrong! Who told you that Rachel is


    Hiram''s wife?"


    Hearing Selina not letting go of this topic, Fannie got angrier. She grabbed a teacup and mmed it on


    the table. "Selina, I am up to here with my patience for you, " she said, cing her hand below her


    chin. "I have been tolerant of you because you are my sister-inw! But if you are unable to control


    yourself from making trouble like this, then get out of my house!"


    "Okay!"


    Selina stood with arms akimbo. She showed no fear and challenged Fannie, pointed a finger at her


    face. "I was not afraid of you in the past. What makes you think that I''d be afraid of you now, especially


    after you broke your leg?"


    How arrogant of this woman? Fannie was so infuriated that shended her fist on the table. What the


    hell had the Ruan family done? How could they get a daughter-inw like this?


    "Ms. Zhou, please don''t say things like that. Don''t forget, Fannie is Mr. Rong''s mother-inw. If you


    anger her, what good will you get out of it?" said Emma. Emma was sent here by the Rong family to


    take care of Fannie. The sh between the two sisters-inw showed the disrespectful nature of Selina


    and Emma felt the need to defend Fannie.


    "Umm... Excuse me. Who are you, again? Ohh, yes. That''s right. You''re just a servant here. How dare


    you interrupt me! Now shut your mouth!"


    Selina now directed her anger at the new servant who could do nothing but sit back down. If she


    continued to stand up to Selina, this situation might get uglier.


    Emma shook her head. Selina and Fannie were miles apart when it came to character. Selina would


    never measure up to Fannie. If someone in the Rong family married Selina, it would be a huge disaster


    for them.


    "Selina, would you please shut up? Again, we are telling you. Show some respect! Emma is also your


    elder. Can you hear yourself talking? You''re being ridiculous speaking like that." Even Rachel''s


    grandmother joined in rebuking Selina.


    However, the stubborn Selina coudn''t see that she was wrong. Instead, she stood in the middle of the


    room, cleared her throat and addressed everyone there. "Well all of you listen up! Now that everyone is


    here, I''m not going to hold back and dy this any further! All I''m gonna tell you is what kind of person


    Fannie actually is!


    Aaaand her sly, cheating, hypocrite daughter! Let me tell you what kind of people they are!"


    Fannie coudn''t handle hearing Selina spit venomous words against Rachel, so she nearly passed out.


    "Shut up, Selina. Shut the hell up! I am Rachel''s mother. I know better than any of you what kind of


    person my daughter is. Don''t you ever talk about her like that again!"


    "Wow, wow, wow! Look at you trying to be decent. It is not going to work, ok? I am only going to tell


    them about what your dear, precious daughter has done!


    Colin, give that to me!"


    Selina looked at Fannie up and down then signaled Colin to give her the papers.


    Colin sighed. He was hesitant, but Selina was glowering at him. He had been hiding the papers under


    his arms and now he slowly handed them to her.


    Selina snatched the papers from Colin. "Ok, now all of you look at this! Not long ago, Fannie and


    Rachel were telling everybody that Rachel and Hiram fell in love with each other. They are very sweet,


    h h h…


    But guess what! They have already divorced! And instead of telling us the truth, they just keep acting


    like nothing happened. They have been lying to us all this time!" Selina said loudly.


    Then she passed the divorce papers around for the uncles and aunties to see.


    "You see that? This divorce agreement was signed by Hiram and Rachel. Look! These are their


    signatures!


    Hiram doesn''t like Rachel at all! That''s what these papers show. Give me one reason why I couldn''t


    bring Vicky with me to the Rong family. Hiram and Rachel are already divorced. That bond between


    This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.


    them is gone. Why can''t I fix Vicky up with Hiram? Come on, everyone. Listen to me. Fannie and


    Rachel are real bitches. Fannie, don''t make people think that we''re destroying your daughter''s


    marriage. We are not! She destroyed it herself!"


    Fannie was so angry that she stood up on one leg. She pointed her finger at Selina and yelled, "Give


    that to me! This doesn''t prove anything. These papers must be fake. Do you really think you can


    destroy Rachel''s name with made up stories like this?"


    Selina wasn''t afraid to show Fannie. She took the copied divorce agreement, turned to the part that


    contained Hiram and Rachel''s signatures and shoved it up to Fannie''s face.


    "Look at it all you want. Isn''t this your perfect daughter''s signature?


    You are telling us, that you never know that your dear daughter was dumped by Hiram a looooong time


    ago?" Selina stressed the word ''long''. "The terms in this agreement are really hard. But even so, your


    Rachel still agreed to them and signed on it! She was Hiram''s wife for a month! That''s it? Their


    marriagested for only a month? I mean, I have some products in my refrigerator that have stayed


    there longer. Oh my gosh! I can''t believe Rachel would agree to such a thing!


    Oh, I guess she must have been that eager to be a member of the Rong family. That''s why she would


    do such a shameless thing! Well, whatever it takes, right?"


    Fannie stared at Rachel''s signature, confused. ''What happened here?


    Why is this signature so simr to Rachel''s?''


    She needed to talk to her daughter. She said that she woulde to visit her today. But it was already


    gettingte and she was nowhere to be seen.


    "Rachel, where are you now? Why aren''t you here?" Fannie felt dizzy and couldn''t feel her legs. But


    she managed to call Rachel on the phone. She couldn''t believe what just happened. She couldn''t


    believe that Rachel and Hiram had gotten divorced.


    Fannie tried to say something but nothing came out of her mouth. Some many questions raced in her


    head. If Rachel and Hiram really got divorced, why would Hiram arrange for people to take care of her?


    How could they not tell her? What would everyone think?


    This couldn''t be true. She needed Rachel toe and clear things up. She needed her daughter to tell


    her what the hell was happening!


    "Mom. I''m kind of stuck in a traffic jam now. I''m going to bete. I think I''ll be there in half an hour. But


    I''m trying to get there as soon as I can. You sound worried. What happened?"


    Rachel checked her watch. She was already an hourte. This was mainly because when she drove


    away from H City, it was rush hour. That took up a lot of time.


    "Chad, can you speed up a little? My mom sounds worried." Rachel told Chad as she covered her


    phone with her hand.


    Chad however, was already driving quite fast.


    "Alright then, I''ll wait for you. Don''t make the driver drive too fast. Safety first!" Fannie hung up the


    phone. She breathed a sigh of relief and said to Selina.


    "You know what, Rachel will be here soon. When she get here, she''ll tell us whether this divorce


    agreement is real or not! No matter what happens, we will clear things up today. And it will all explode


    in your face.


    I''m sure that Rachel isn''t the kind of person that you say she is. She and Hiram are truly in love with


    each other. I know that! And I know that better than any of you!"


    After learning that Rachel wasing, Selina got a little anxious. But she hid her nervousness and


    tried to act calm. She just raised her brows at Fannie. "Alright, let''s wait and see! Clearly, Rachel knows


    what she has done."


    Actually, this divorce agreement was given to Selina by someone else. Selina had no way of


    determining the authenticity of the document, so she wasn''t sure whether the signatures on there were


    actually Hiram''s and Rachel''s.


    But that person guaranteed her that the agreement was real.


    Since it was provided to her in full confidence, she was sure that this wasn''t just some groundless


    rumor.


    About twenty minutester, Rachel finally arrived. She told Chad who kept looking at her, "Alright,


    Chad, you can go now. Tell Hiram I''m fine. When I''m ready to go home, I''ll call you to pick me up. By


    the way, say hello to Carl for me. Tell him to have a good rest!"


    "Ok, Rachel. I will just stay until you enter the house. I promised Hiram that I would keep you safe at all


    times, not just on the way." Chad stood where he was. He didn''t intend to leave until he saw Rachel


    walk into the house.


    Rachel made her way to the Ruan family house and opened the door.
