Chapter 381 I Trusted Her
Rachel stared at Hiram. She recalled so much about thest incident. Hiram got hurt and it was
because of her. She was so guilty that she kept ming herself. She was in a mess. How could she
simply forget and easily lie about it?
"Sorry Hiram, it was really my fault. Next time, I will try to be moreprehensive and predictive when
I am thinking about the possible consequences of my actions." Still unsure, Rachel bowed her head.
Hiram grasped Rachel''s hands firmly and said gently,"Rachel, I don''t mind you lying sometimes as long
as your reason for doing it will make us live with each other forever. Then, I''ll consider it as a white lie
and everything will be well worth it."
Rachel rested her head on Hiram''s shoulders. "Yes, I know, Hiram. Thank you."
Rachel had stayed in the hospital and took care of Hiram for two days. So, Hiram recovered fast. But
he still couldn''t do much work except taking care of himself.
Rachel was helping Hiram tidy up his clothes. Then, Hiram suddenly embraced Rachel from behind.
"Mr. Wolf, get your hands off me!"
The doctor said that Hiram was doing okay and he could go back home anytime. He also reminded
Rachel that he shouldn''t go back to work immediately and that he needed to stay at home and rest for
more. Only when he was fully recovered could he return to work.
But Hiram, who was just getting a little better, started to flirt with Rachel.
Hiram moved his hands to Rachel''s waist as he rested his head on her shoulder. He whispered in her
ears. "Rachel, I''m bored already. I can''t work and Dr. Larry doesn''t allow me to do anything. What other
things can I do except hugging you? Tell me, sweetie."
"Hey, let go of me, Mr. Wolf. Be careful with your wound. When you recoverpletely, you can do
whatever you want to me!" Rachel said to Hiram flirtatiously. She then motioned him to sit down first.
Although he was recovering well, it was only a couple of days since his major operation. The wound
was still very fresh.
"Uh-huh." Hiram nodded his head. But he didn''t let go of Rachel, still hugging her from behind.
While they were having an intimate moment, someone knocked on the door.
"Hiram, your Dad is waiting here, he has something to discuss with you." It was from Lydia.
Rachel pulled herself out of Hiram''s arms. She lifted her head and asked Hiram. "Gavin wants to see
you?"
Since the incident, Rachel called Gavin by his name and she seldom visited him.
"Don''t worry sweetie. Let me meet him and see what he wants. You stay here and pack up our stuff so
when Ie back, we could just head back home." Hiram said to her gently. Then he picked up his cell
phone on the bedside table and carefully walked out of the private ward.
At the hospital hallway adjacent to Hiram''s private ward, Gavin was standing in front of a window with
his hands on his waist. When he noticed Hiram approaching, Gavin turned around and gazed at Hiram.
"You look good.
I can deal with the work in thepany. You don''t need to worry about it. Just stay at home and have a
good rest."
Gavin and Hiram sat on the hallway sofa. Gavin stared at the closed door of the private ward. He
hesitated and took a long pause, then he managed to ask.
"Hiram, is it true that ording to your prenuptial agreement, Rachel could take away half of the Rong
family''s fortune if you two get divorced?"
Hiram took a cup of hot tea from the side table and took a sip. His ck eyes looked at Gavin, who was
sitting directly across him. "Why would you ask me that, dad?"
"Why would I ask you? Hiram, you''ve always been calm and thorough. I never worry about you. It''s just
that… why are you bing such an idiot when you''re with Rachel?"
Gavin inquired and sighed deeply.
"When I married your mother, I dared not to do that. You''re so… so naive and careless this time
around."
Hiram''s fingers touched his teacup edge and smiled coldly. "Dad, are you trying to tell me that I don''t
have a say on the Rong family''s fortune? If you''re trying to imply something, or say, if you have a love
child with another woman, and you need to split the property, just tell me. I won''t take all of them and
I''m willing to share the fortune with them."
"You... what are you talking... about?"
Gavin was enraged at Hiram''s words that he started to cough. "Stop with all the bullshit! You''re my only
son. Can you hear yourself? You''re being so ridiculous. I wish I could have another son! Then I
wouldn''t be scared to death when you had the ident!"
"Oh, really dad? Since I''m your only child, then I''m the only legitimate person to inherit your fortune. So
why can''t I have a say on this?" Hiram smiled, he made use of Gavin''s words to win the argument.
"Plus, we signed that term in the prenup, only just in case. As long as we don''t divorce, the fortune still
belongs to the Rong family."
Gavin, however, wasn''t paying attention to Hiram. He took his iPad from the table beside him and
showed Hiram a copied video. "Check this out. It was filmed on the second day you got shot. Look
what your dear Rachel had done in the hospital garden.
Check the video carefully. Then, give me one good reason, why this kind of woman should be a
member of our family?"
Hiram furrowed his eyebrows. He took the iPad and clicked the "y" button. The video was about ten
minutes long.
Hiram easily recognized the man in the video as Patrick.
In the beginning, Patrick and Rachel were talking seriously. Hiram couldn''tprehend what they were
talking about. But he could see that Rachel was very angry.
When he saw the end of the video, Hiram squinted. Patrick hugged Rachel for a long time. And, Rachel
didn''t even try to struggle with his hug. She just stood there.

"Lydia witnessed this with her own eyes. Can''t you see that? Rachel didn''t feel ashamed at all, about
what she did. And yet, she was so bold that she still went to the ward to visit you, like nothing had
happened." Gavin said angrily.
He then nced at the closed door of the private ward and lowered his voice. "Hiram, I know she''s
attractive. I tell you what... Rachel isn''t a simple woman. She knows a lot about how to make a man
stay. Look at what she had done! She was being intimate with another man behind your back. Who
knew what else they had done?
The Rong family is a decent family with a long and respected history. I absolutely can''t ept such a
shameless and immoral woman as my daughter-inw.
I know what you''re thinking. You think that I don''t like Rachel because of Landy. But let me tell you this,
that wasn''t the whole story!"
Hiram put down the iPad and said coldly. "That''s enough dad. I will talk to Rachel and find out what
happened that day.
She isn''t that kind of person. I know and trust her."
Hearing Hiram, Gavin couldn''t help but shout. "Hiram! Do you really think that she will tell you the truth
once you ask her? I know that you''re not doing so good in the past few days, so I didn''t show you the
video. Only now that you''re getting better that I got the chance.
You can''t trust Rachel anymore. She and her mother, they are just the same. They look innocent, but
indeed they''re very cunning and have done many immoral things. They keep on lying to us, all the
time!"
"Dad... please stop!" Hiram interrupted Gavin. "I''ll investigate this by myself. As for Aunt Landy''s case,
I''ll investigate that too. By then, we''ll know who are lying. I''m pretty sure that time will reveal the truth."
"Hiram…" Gavin sighed as his son didn''t listen to him. He stared at Hiram, who had stood up, and
begged. "Hiram, listen to me, my son. Get a divorce. I know you don''t love Lydia. That''s fine with me.
I''m totally okay with you marrying any other woman that you like, but not Rachel!"
Hiram furrowed his eyebrows. He didn''t want to listen to Gavin anymore, so he turned around and
walked towards the ward.
But when he opened the door, he felt like there was something behind and blocking it from opening.
It was Rachel. She stood still behind the door and looked so startled.
