Chapter 166 Give Me Another Chance


    "I saw everything in the surveince video, "


    Hiram said, staring at Rachel.


    "Rachel opened the door, but she didn''t actually enter the room. It was clear that the kidnappers were


    not targeting her. If Lydia had kept quiet about who Rachel was, Zachary wouldn''t have kidnapped her."


    He had watched that short video many times with Chad and Kun, And that was the conclusion they had


    all arrived at.


    At that time, Zachary hadn''t known who Rachel was, so he hadn''t had the intention to catch her. She


    could have escaped with that opportunity.


    She could have at least saved herself from danger.


    From the video, it was clear that it was only because of Lydia''s tip that Zachary decided to kidnap


    Rachel.


    "Hiram! Please believe me! I was so scared at that time. When Rachel opened the door, I thought of


    her as my life-saver! How could I have had such an evil intention?


    And after that, I didn''t know that the kidnappers would allow you to save only one of us!"


    Lydia tried to exin, looking at him with tears in her eyes.


    Hiram''s eyes turned cold. ring at the sister he had grown up with, he said, "Lydia, I don''t want to


    ept the fact that my sister, who used to be so lovely and clever, has now turned into a crafty woman.


    You were in such a dangerous situation, but instead of thinking about how to escape, you were thinking


    about how to harm your sister-inw."


    "Hiram... I..."


    "Tell me the truth. Are you going to insist that you''re innocent?"


    "I..."


    Lydia had run out of excuses.


    Rachel turned her back to them, took a deep breath, and said, "Mother, I''m sorry. I have to go now. My


    mom is waiting for me at home."


    Joanna opened her mouth and closed it again without saying anything. She stared at her daughter like


    she was looking at a stranger.


    Rachel stepped out of the house that seemed luxurious but had hurt her so much.


    She walked to the side of the main road and was about to call a taxi


    When she noticed a Maybach stop beside her.


    Hiram didn''t lower the window and call her in like he usually did. Instead, he came out, opened the door


    of the passenger seat, and said, "Get on. I have something to say."


    Rachel lowered her head as she got in.


    Hiram drove all the way to the river bank, which was located in the suburb of the city.

    He leaned against the railing, watching the river flow endlessly without a pause.


    Rachel got off the car too and stood beside him.


    "Thank you for believing me. I thought you''d think that I was being neurotic." Rachel leaned against the


    icy railing too and looked at the river, inhaling the natural smell of the river.


    "You''re kidding, right?" Hiram frowned. If he couldn''t even believe her, what was the point in being her


    husband?


    Rachel smiled and continued, "I thought you wouldn''t believe that your sister could treat me like that.


    And even if you did, I thought you''d protect her, and you''d insist that I was saying crazy things because


    I was frightened by the kidnappers."


    Wasn''t it reasonable? He had chosen to save Lydia at Rachel''s expense once before.


    Fortunately, Rachel had escaped from danger. But she could have been killed by Zachary or one of his


    men.


    Hiram''s frown deepened, but he couldn''t argue with her.


    "Do you have anything else to say? If not, I want to go home now. I told my mom that I''lle back


    tonight, " she said, loosening her grip on the railing.


    Hiram''s strong arms embraced her from behind. She heard his maic voice say, "Please, honey.


    Don''t be so indifferent."


    Rachel slowly closed her eyes and smiled bitterly. "Huh? You think I''m being indifferent? What about


    you? You threw me to those kidnappers and left me to die!"


    Hiram embraced her tighter. There was urgency in his voice as he said, "Please! Give me another


    chance! I''ll make up for it!"


    No matter how many reasons he had had, he had to admit that he owed her.


    "Hiram, give me some time to calm down, okay? Bring me home." Rachel shook herself out of his grip


    without emotion.


    Hiram stared at her for a while, then climbed into his car and drove her home.


    At Fannie''s ce, Fannie and Emma were watching TV on the sofa waiting for Rachel toe back.


    Their house was a little small, but Fannie just let Emma stay here and live with them.


    "You''re back, my dear, " Fannie said when Rachel entered. "Are you hungry?"


    Fannie looked beyond Rachel, but found nobody. Disappointed, she asked, "Huh? Why didn''t Hiram


    Rachel changed her shoes and casually threw her bag on the shoe cab before walking in. "He


    wanted toe, but I didn''t let him."


    She had directly refused him when he was about toe up the stairs with her.


    "Rachel... Are you...?" Fannie trailed off worriedly.


    However, Rachel directly said to her, "Mom, I want to divorce him." Rachel wasn''t going to lie to her.


    She thought that Fannie should have been mentally prepared for this result.


    She wasn''t afraid that her mom wouldn''t be able to bear it.


    "What?!" Fannie was stunned. She sat quietly on the sofa for a long time beforeing back to her


    senses. "Rachel... I know you can''t ept his choice. I was hurt when I heard about it, too.


    But I think he had his own reasons for doing that. No matter who he chose, he would always be med


    by someone."


    When Fannie had first heard about the incident, she had been so angry that she couldn''t ept


    Hiram''s choice at all. But after a little while, she began to understand it.


    "Mom, I know I can''t me him. But you should think of this from another point of view. The Rong


    family is wealthy, but they''re envied by so many people. No one can promise that such a thing won''t


    happen again.


    This time, Lydia and I were kidnapped. What about the next time? If his mother and I were kidnapped,


    how would he choose? Do you believe that he would choose me?"


    Rachel shook her head. "Mom, I didn''te to this decision just because of the choice he made.


    I just want to enjoy my life in peace and keep youpany."


    Fannie sighed. She knew that she couldn''t change Rachel''s mind.


    "No matter what you''ve decided, I''ll support you. However, can you really forget him?" Fannie asked,


    then walked to the bedroom.


    The two hadn''t spent a long time together, but they had already shared a bed.


    If they got divorced now, could they really regard each other as strangers?


    Rachel went to her room, but she didn''t go to sleep right away. Ever since that incident, she kept


    having nightmares where she was running through the farnd without stopping.


    After reading a book for an hour, she turned off the nightmp.


    Not long after shey down, her phone brightened with a notification.
