Chapter 165 Slapping Lydia
Chapter 165 Slapping Lydia
As soon as Rachel entered the Rong's mansion, Joanna, who was waiting for her in the living room,
Stood up and rushed towards her.
"Rachel! Thank God! You're finally back!" Joanna felt relieved that Rachel was back safe and sound.
Worried that something bad might happen to her, she hadn't had any appetite or sleep the past few
days.
"Mom, I'm okay. Sorry to have worried you!" Rachel said calmly.
Although she was angry, she knew that it wasn't Joanna's fault. It dad been difficult for her to make a
choice between her daughter and her daughter-in-law.
"Even though you don't blame me, I feel ashamed, " Joanna cried, looking at Rachel with tears in her
eyes. She knew Rachel must have been hurt by Hiram's decision.
"Mom! Where is Lydia?" Rachel asked suddenly.
As if reading her mind, Lydia was walking downstairs.
"Rachel... You're back?" Lydia had been shocked when she heard the news that Rachel was back, but
she had to come downstairs to greet her, or it wouldn't be polite.
Rachel turned around at Lydia's voice. Lydia, who was standing on the stairs, looked beautiful but frail.
Rachel didn't answer her. Instead, she went to the table in the center of the living room and picked up a
cup filled with tea. It seemed the owner hadn't had time to drink it.
With the cup in her hand, she walked slowly towards Lydia.
Hiram came in at that moment and saw Rachel walking towards Lydia.
Rachel stopped in front of her and said, "Yes, I'm back! You must be very disappointed."
With that, she raised her hand and poured the tea on Lydia's head. Lydia stood there shocked for a
moment with tea slowly dripping down her face and tea leaves hanging in her hair.
"Rachel!"
Joanna cried out. She couldn't believe what she was seeing.
Rachel stared at Lydia, who now looked weak and pathetic. Lydia said, "Go ahead, Rachel! I know
you're mad at me!"
Rachel gritted her teeth and sneered. She suddenly threw the cup at Lydia's head.
Compared to what she had suffered the past few days, it was nothing at all.
"Rachel!" Joanna was stunned. She was about to go over, but Hiram stopped her.
Lydia screamed when the cup hit her. She wiped her face and said with tears in her eyes, "Rachel! I
know I made mistakes. If it hadn't been for me, you wouldn't have been kidnapped. Go ahead! I won't
fight back!"
But before she could even finish her words, There was a loud crack.
Rachel had slapped her right on her pretty cheek without mercy!
"Lydia, you know very well why I'm slapping you!"
Rachel said, lowering her voice. If it hadn't been for the woman in front of her, she wouldn't have gotten
caught in this mess in the first place.
"I've never hurt anyone. Why did you treat me like that? You wicked woman!" she continued.
With that, Rachel gave her a hard push, and Lydia fell to the ground.
"Rachel! Stop! Calm down! It wasn't Lydia's fault!" Joanna cried out loudly when she saw her daughter
being slapped.
"Mom! You think she's innocent? Ha!" Rachel sneered. She looked at the woman lying on the ground,
pretending to be miserable.
Afraid that Rachel would tell the truth, Lydia cried out, "Rachel! I deserve it! It was my fault! It happened
because of me!
I asked Hiram to save me because I was so scared at that moment!
If, if you think it was my fault, go ahead! I won't fight back even if I'm dying!"
Rachel shook her head and laughed bitterly. Last time, she had been naive enough to think that Lydia
had realized her mistakes and was determined to change. But no, no matter how beautiful she was on
the outside, Lydia was truly a wicked woman at heart.
"Rachel! You should forgive Lydia! She only cried out because she was so scared at that moment. She
was a victim too!" Joanna tried to explain.
She thought that Rachel was mad at Lydia for asking Hiram for help when they had been both tied up
on stage.
Encouraged by her mother's words, Lydia stood up in front of Rachel with a fearless expression on her
face.
Rachel looked into her eyes with a hint of a sneer at her lips. She had never been a pushover.
Scared? Lydia was trying to cover up all her sins with such a simple excuse!
Rachel hadn't had a chance to teach her a lesson before. Now that she had come back alive, She was
going to get even with her.
She said, "Lydia, this is what you're really like! Everyone thinks you're a cute little rabbit, but you're
actually a snake! You've plotted against me so many times just because I married Hiram, right?"
Rachel said firmly. Even now, when she recalled the scene, she couldn't get over how horrible it was.
When Rachel had gone to the dressing room to look for Lydia, the whole place had been silent until
she finally opened the door to the room where the kidnappers were holding Lydia, which was when
Lydia finally screamed. But no matter how many times she had thought about it, something didn't add
up.
If Lydia had indeed screamed out of fear, she could have screamed at any moment before she entered
that room. In fact, she should have screamed when Rachel called out her name so many times, so that
Rachel would have had time to get help.
There was no way that Lydia hadn't heard Rachel calling out her name in such a silent place. But Lydia
hadn't answered her or made any noise.
Instead, she had cried out right when Rachel opened the door, Creating the opportunity for the
kidnappers.
When she said all this, Lydia shook her head in panic. She said, "No, I don't understand what you're
saying! Rachel! How could you say that? Even though Hiram chose to save my life over yours, you
shouldn't slander me like this!
I only cried out when you opened the door because I was so scared. How could I do it on purpose?"
Rachel laughed. She looked at her and asked, "You mean you didn't do it on purpose?
When I opened the door, I saw a man there. I knew that there was something wrong, so I was about to
leave and get help, because it would be impossible for me to save you by myself.
And at that moment, those men didn't want to kidnap me because they didn't know who I was. They
thought I was worthless.
But you, you revealed my identity with your screaming, and that's why they took the risk of kidnapping
me!"
Rachel said coldly. She knew she was right. If the men had been planning to kidnap her, they would
have caught her as soon as she opened the door instead of trying to hide themselves without making
any noise.
Their target had been Lydia, the daughter of the Rong family.
They hadn't planned to kidnap Rachel until they found out that she was Hiram's wife, thanks to Lydia. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
If Lydia hadn't cried out, this disaster wouldn't have happened to Rachel.
Lydia had gotten Rachel involved by conveying her identity to the kidnappers.
"What are you talking about? How could I have considered so much under such circumstances?"
Lydia retorted anxiously.
Then she turned to Hiram and Joanna in a hurry.
"Hiram! Mom! Rachel is blabbering nonsense! She never likes me, so she's putting all the blame on me
now!"
Now that she had revealed everything, Rachel didn't bother to look at Lydia anymore.
She didn't care about what would happen next
And whether Hiram and Joanna would believe her or not, Not anymore.
She strode towards the door.
Just then, Hiram who had been silent so far spoke up.
"I trust you!"
