Chapter 65 The Send-off Dinner (1/2)

All of a sudden, Rachel felt a surge of suspicion. She said doubtfully, ”Mom, what's done is done. Hopefully, uncle Colin and his family would not continue messing around with us, right?”

Marriage is not a child's play. Since Rachel and Hiram had already registered their marriage, it was meaningless for Colin's family to mess around anymore.

However, Fannie shook her head and said with a frown, ”I don't think so. Although your marriage has been settled, I know that Colin would definitely do something terrible when he finds out that he has missed a great opportunity.”

Rachel held Fannie's arm, and asked curiously, ”Mom, is this why you made Hiram and me register our marriage in a rush? Were you concerned that uncle Colin's family would cause trouble for us.”

”Yes, but that was just part of the reason, ” Fannie answered, ”If you had met the right man in one of those blind dates, I would have approved your marriage. But as time went by I had to step up, and create opportunities for you before it was too late.”

As a girl, Rachel was too shy. Therefore, Fannie had to be more proactive to help her.

Now, my decision has turned out to be right. You and Hiram are made for each other.”

Rachel was a loving and dutiful daughter; she had a special place in Fannie's heart. Although Hiram was wealthy, she felt that her daughter was also beautiful enough to be a good match for him.

After Colin, his wife and daughter left Fannie's house, they checked into a small hotel.

Their business had been struggling for the past two years. Selina's family-owned enterprise had reduced from a small and medium-sized company to a small store. Not long ago, when a fellow villager of XH Village was shopping in their store, he accidentally mentioned the Rong family and the century-old agreement to them.

Hiram and his family were very famous around XH Village.

Suddenly, Colin and Selina realized that the timing was perfect since Hiram wasn't married to someone else yet, and their daughter was also single.

They closed down their store immediately and rus

It all starts on that fateful night.
