Chapter 98 How Could She Fail God's Will
Rachel was about to reject the proposal when she felt a hand covering her mouth and a voice saying,
"Etiquette requires reciprocity. Don't turn me down so quickly. Next time you need me to do something
for your mother I won't reject either." Hiram moved his hand from her mouth and tried to persuade her
patiently.
"I'm leaving now. I will ask Carl to contact you later, " Hiram continued.
He looked at her and seemed reluctant to leave. But after staring at her for a little while longer he
turned and walked towards the door.
After Hiram left, Rachel stood still.
Why? No matter how hard she had tried, Hiram could manage to change her mind so easily?
She was like the grand monkey in the palm of the Tabatha. She flew away as far as she could. She
thought she had escaped from his world. But whenever she turned around, she found that she was still
in his palm!
It seemed that he didn't overtly retain her violently. On the contrary, he pled her with affection and Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
reason, seemingly gentle and considerate, leaving her no reason to turn him down.
But indeed, she knew him well. He was still a wolf in a sheep's clothing.
A wolf who changed its behavior, but never changed its cunning and insidious nature.
As she pondered, the cell phone rang, pulling her back to reality. Rachel walked to the couch, sitting
down while she answered the phone.
"Rachel, today is my holiday. Our members suggested that I should help you to organize our studio.
After all, it will be launched in 10 days. Let's hurry. Are you available today?" asked Celine from the
other end.
"Yes, I'm available today. Let's meet at the downtown city. There's a train right to our studio's doorstep,
" Rachel replied. While she was speaking, Rachel rubbed her stomach. She felt a little hungry as she
had been so busy this morning that she hadn't got the time to have her breakfast yet.
"That would be great. I am on my way. And you also have to hurry, " Celine said.
After hanging up the phone, Rachel changed her clothes. Before she was about to leave, she also put
all the dirty clothes into the auto washing machine to wash.
Because she was so hungry, she decided to have a piece of bread on her way. She went into the snack
bar of the community and grabbed a slice.
When they met each other in the downtown city, it was almost noon.
Rachel intended to have lunch first otherwise she would be too hungry to do anything. She pulled
Celine to the nearest restaurant to enjoy their lunch first.
"What were you busy with this morning? How could you forget to have your breakfast? Were you
sleeping so late out of laziness?" Celine looked at Rachel who looked rather hungry and asked.
Rachel took a bite of spaghetti, shaking her head and continued eating without saying a word. Last
night, she had been 'busy' with Hiram all night, and this morning, she was busy all morning till now.
How couldn't she be starving?
"Let me finish my lunch first. I will explain to you later." Rachel garbled through a mouthful food.
"Alright. You have your lunch first, " Celine said. She looked at Rachel with a smile, and started to eat
as well.
At the same time, there were two women coming in. They walked to the table right behind them and sat
down.
"Cassie, why do you have to leave so abruptly? Has anything happened? Even then, you don't have to
leave H City today." A woman wearing a blue skirt, asked her companion after ordering two cups of
coffee. She looked confused.
Cassie put her branded purse on the table, sighed a breath out and said, "Stop my dear. I'm afraid I
might not be allowed to come back to H City any more."
At least, as long as Hiram was here, she wouldn't be allowed to come back.
She had been commanded to leave the city today and that was why she wanted to ask her best friend
out for their last meal.
"What happened? Why do you have to leave? Is it because of what happened last night? Is it because
of Hiram Rong who..." the woman asked again. The woman was Cassie's close friend May. It was her
who suggested Cassie putting drug into Hiram's drink.
Cassie smiled bitterly. Holding the hot coffee she said, "May, you know what? Last night, even when I
drugged him, he didn't touch me. What's more? I don't feel he has that kind of interest in me at all.
Every night, we have dinner and drink together, I fancied he might really like me for once. But finally, I
found that to him I might just be a substitute, or an inanimate vase."
This was unbelievable. May looked at Cassie and asked, "Do you mean you drugged him and he still
didn't touch you at all?"
May couldn't believe that there was still such a man in the world.
Cassie nodded her head. She looked doomed and said, "You're right. I drugged him with the drug you
gave me. But finally he drove me out."
"And you did get out? Why didn't you wait outside? Maybe, the drug hadn't taken effect yet. If you had
waited till he was out of control, you would have been the first one to be chosen by him, "
May said anxiously. She thought Cassie was a silly girl. How could she have left at that moment?
He might be a little angry at first when he knew he had been manipulated. But when the moment came,
he would not be able to care about it any more?
And sitting right behind them, Rachel was listening closely to their conversation.
Rachel stopped eating and held the fork tightly when she heard their conversation.
Last night...
It was this woman who had drugged Hiram.
It was this woman who made him bleed so much and forced her to sleep with him again.
"Rachel, why did you stop eating? Are you full already?" Celine was confused as she saw Rachel
suddenly stop eating and look stunned.
Wasn't she so hungry just now? How could she be full so quickly.
In the next second, Rachel pushed aside her chair and picked up her orange juice along with Celine's
coffee.
"Wait, wait, I haven't drunk my coffee yet. You still have your orange juice. Why do you take my
coffee?" Celine said to Rachel when she tried to pick up her coffee.
However, in the next second she saw Rachel stand up and walk to the table just behind theirs.
Rachel put the two cups on the table where Cassie was. She rudely dragged out a chair and sat down
at the same table with them.
"Are you the one who drugged Hiram last night? And are you the one who thought of this idea?"
Rachel first stared at Cassie, and then at the woman called May. The thought of Hiram having dinner
with the woman called Cassie made her feel very angry and think that Hiram couldn't stand the
loneliness at all.
They had just been separated for a while, and he had to find a woman to have dinner with him every
night! How dare he?
In the next second she decided to forgive him for a while thinking of his behavior last night. Hiram had
hurt himself but kept his integrity. She really appreciated him for that
"Who are you? It's none of your business." May looked at Rachel and said coldly. She thought of
Rachel as one of Hiram's adorers.
After all, in H City, people who wanted to have dinner with Hiram could be lined up almost as a circle
around the whole city.
"We are all women. You don't have to feel any shame. If it was you who drugged Hiram, you have to
admit it. Tell me, was it you?" Rachel stared at Cassie penetratingly.
Cassie looked at Rachel. She too thought that Rachel was just one of Hiram's adorers. Since she had
the chance to have dinner with Hiram, she had been hated by many women. She thought Rachel was
one of them, and was envious of her.
"If I say yes, it was me. What can you do to me? Even if it was I drugged him, Mr. Rong didn't do
anything to me. Do you think you still have the chance..."
Before she finished her words, A cup of steaming hot coffee was flung on Cassie's face.
Celine finally understood what had happened after hearing the entire conversation. She rushed to help
Rachel.
"Are you Crazy? How dare you throw coffee on me? Oh my God, you are really insane." Cassie almost
lost her mind. Her dress was ruined by the coffee. She couldn't help but scream at Rachel.
At that moment, the diners in the restaurant had stopped eating and turned to see what was going on
between these four women.
May stood up quickly and yelled at Rachel, "Are you deaf? How dare you throw coffee at Cassie. Even
Mr. Rong is reluctant to hurt her. Are you out of mind?"
Before May could finish, a glass of juice was flung at her.
Right into her mouth!
They had made Hiram suffer too much! Hiram was too generous to hurt a woman, But she was not
Hiram!
After all, they had also made her the victim indirectly.
Rachel put down the cup on the table. She thought if she hadn't met them here, it would have been a
blessing to them. Since she had met them by coincidence, It was God's will, and how could she fail
God's will?
