Chapter 427 Who Says You Can Go To Sleep (2/2)

“Who does she think she is? I won’t marry her even if she is the last woman on earth,” said Hiram Rong.

“Marry into a family with tens of billions of assets? How lucky I am! I won’t be so foolish as to break off the engagement. At worst, I can receive money as part of the divorce settlement,” said Rachel Ruan.

Their great-grandfathers made a pact about their engagement a hundred years ago...

ould let Gavin know the consequences of his meddling.

As a son, he should be obedient to his father. But there was a thin line between familial concern and the desire to control. Gavin has crossed from one side to the other completely, and he wouldn't indulge his absurdity, despite being his son.

Rachel was woken up by the sound of the alarm. She was having a good sleep and gave out a little whine while reaching for her phone. She checked the screen. It was 12:00.

'It's still early, ' she thought, so she turned off the alarm on her phone and went back to sleep again.

Later, the door was pushed open.

After some time Hiram went upstairs to wake her up himself. She still hadn't gotten up despite the alarm.

”Honey? It's time to have lunch.” He pulled the quilt away from her head and whispered to her ears.

Rachel shook her head with eyes closed and murmured, her voice thick with drowsiness,”It's still early. Let me sleep for one more hour...”

”No. It will take at least one hour to drive to H City, and you also have to account for traffic on the way to the airport. Come on, get up,” he coaxed, moving closer to her. When Rachel still refused to budge, Hiram's lips lifted to a smirk.

”Well, it's fine. If you really don't want to get up, tell Marlon that you can't see him off. That would be all the better for me,” he said, a grin breaking into his face when he felt Rachel stir.

Rachel opened her eyes at his words. She had to get up. She had already said that she would see him off.

The young successor of the Xi family may have betrayed her before for Hiram's offer, but there was no denying that he had indeed helped her. At the very least, she would acknowledge that favor and see him off.

Favors given by others are the hardest thing to return.

Daniel also had helped her greatly, but she had yet to return it back.

Rachel sat up and saw Hiram staring at her.
