Such a Rude and Noisy Woman

Seeing Rachel walking up to him, Hiram reached out to hold her hand and passed her a glass of wine.

"Come here, honey! Let's propose a toast to Uncle Richard," he said.

Rachel took the glass in her hand and turned to Richard with a big smile on her face. "Uncle Richard, I've been hearing about you for a long time, and now, I'm finally getting the chance to meet you in person. You look more magnificent than I thought!"

"Really? You're so sweet! Hiram, congratulations! Bottoms up!" Richard said approvingly and drained his glass. "When will you two hold your wedding? I'm looking forward to seeing you exchange oaths!"

Hiram finished his wine and put his glass on the plate held by a waiter near them. He also took Rachel's glass, from which she'd only taken a sip, and put it on the plate before answering Richard's question. "Soon! At the end of this year."

"Great! But look at my Hearst, I'm afraid I won't live to see his big day! He's hanging out with so many women but he never introduces any of them to us. It's really getting on my nerves!" Richard sighed and shook his head, not knowing that Hearst was sitting right behind them.

Hearing his father's complaint, Hearst mumbled," Dad, did you forget that I'm two years younger than Hiram? I promise I'll find a virtuous wife and bring her to see you and mom in two years! Can you just stop complaining now?"

he asked, glancing at Rachel. He'd known this would happen if Rachel showed up to the party.

Everyone around them burst into laughter at Hearst's words.

Rachel noticed that Gavin hadn't shown up at such an important family gathering. Joanna was sitting at a table and chatting with other elder ladies.

Later, at dinner, Rachel noticed that Hiram seemed to be a little drunk. People came over to toast him one after another, and he kept pouring wine into his mouth without any hesitation. Rachel thought there might be two reasons why he was drinking without any control; the first was that it was a family gathering that happened only once a year, and the second was that their wedding was coming.

Meanwhile, in one of the cabins, Shirley was on her phone.

"Shirley, are you really at the Rong family's gathering party?"

"Yes, Lydia! You know I wouldn't waste such a good opportunity. I'm going to try my best to humiliate Rachel in front of all the elders, so that Hiram will leave her."

"Listen to me, Shirley! Stop doing stupid things! I know my father well. He's going to continue pursuing the matter of Aunt Landy's death. So, we don't need to do anything now. Things seem to be going well. Let's wait and see what will happen. Don't risk everything!" Lydia said quickly, trying to talk Shirley out of her plan.
