One Night Stand With That Beggar

Rachel had never expected that human nature could be so sinister.

It was true that she had been well-protected for the first half of her life. Who would have thought that a person who used to speak kindly would make a move on her all of a sudden in broad daylight?

The kick was so strong that she could not stand up due to the pain.

She could only kneel on the ground desperately to relieve the pain.

Jessica was not done yet. After the kick, she did not forget to leave behind more harsh words.

“If you dare, go in and tell your father that I was the one who kicked you. Do you think he will help you?”

After that, she left with a smile.

Rachel could not do anything. She knelt down for a while and could not get up at all. Whenever she moved, she felt a head-splitting headache.

It was not easy for her to get back up but then she fell again.

She felt that she really was unlucky. Not only was she hit by that shameless woman, she was about to come into great contact with the ground yet again.

Rachel slowly closed her eyes, but the expected pain did not appear.

A pair of big strong hands held her.

A voice asked her nervously, “What’s wrong?”

Rachel opened her eyes and saw that Eddison had appeared out of nowhere. He looked at her anxiously.

“Did you hit your head so hard that you forgot how to speak?”

Rachel came to her senses, shook her head, grabbed his arm, and stood up.

“I’m fine, it’s just…”

Before she could finish her words, Eddison saw the footprint on her back.

“Did someone kick you?”

Rachel frowned and thought, “It’s not that I don’t want to tell Eddison, but it’s not a glorious thing to be kicked. I don’t want Eddison to think that I’m useless.”

Then, she shook her head again.

“No, it’s…”

“I saw it! I trust my eyes and it’s obvious that you were kicked by someone!”

As he spoke, he reached out and patted her on the back. When he accidentally patted Rachel’s wound, she could not help but hiss, her face turning pale.

It was only then that Eddison realized that she was heavily injured.

“Who did this?”

“No one…”

Eddison did not listen to her as he was not a fool. There was only one coffee shop nearby. After making sure that Rachel could stand up, he let go of her and went straight to the coffee shop.

At a glance, he saw Jarred chatting with a woman from the window.

In addition, judging by the size of the footprint, he was sure that it was the woman who kicked Rachel!

Eddison immediately strode in, and Rachel, who stood behind him, did not stop him.

Eddison was much feistier compared to Rachel. He kicked the door of the private room open as soon as he walked in.

“Did you hit Rachel?”

Jessica knew Eddison. For a person who wanted to marry into the rich and powerful like her, she would certainly not let go of any potential target.

Eddison was the future heir of the Granger family. He was young, promising, handsome, rich…

Jessica stood up straight immediately and played dumb with a smile.

“What are you talking about, Sir?”

“Don’t play dumb with me! Did you hit Rachel just now?”

“I-I didn’t! Why would I do that?”

Upon seeing that, Jarred became a little unhappy.

After all, he was Eddison’s father-in-law. When he was on a date with his mistress, he was interrupted by his daughter and questioned by her. Now, his son-in-law, Eddison was present as well. As if not noticing his presence, Eddison interrogated Jessica and did not take him seriously at all.

How could Jarred swallow the anger in his heart?

He slammed the table and stood up, “Eddison, I haven’t handled the matters between you and Rachel, yet you’re sticking your nose in my business? Rachel said that the two of you did not get your marriage certificate at all. What’s with that?”Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Eddison frowned as he replied, “We’re talking about Rachel being beaten up now. I don’t want to talk about the matter between her and I.”

“You…”

Jarred gritted his teeth and said, “Don’t be too arrogant. Go and ask her why she was beaten up. As the younger person in the room, she doesn’t know how to respect her elders. Of course, she should be beaten up!”

Eddison’s expression changed as he retorted, “What do you mean? You knew that she was beaten up, yet you did nothing? What kind of father are you?”

Jarred thought that he was talking about the slap on Rachel’s face.

“I am her father. Why can’t I teach her a lesson?”

“Ha…”

Eddison gritted his teeth, “You’re her father, so I’m giving you face. However, I’m not as tolerant towards other people. I’ll make sure that this situation will be an eye for an eye!”

“Rachel, come in!”

Rachel entered from behind. She had originally planned to see what was going on from the outside. However, when she heard Eddison’s voice, she had no choice but to enter.

Only then did Jarred realize that Rachel’s walking posture looked a little strange, but he was angry, therefore he did not think much about it.

“You’ve all grown up! You even know how to look for helpers now?”

Rachel frowned and kept quiet.

Eddison grabbed Rachel’s hand and ordered, “Kick her back.”

Rachel was stunned. She was still a little hesitant.

She had never been an aggressive person. From a young age, Bianca had told her that she must be virtuous and graceful. When had she ever beaten someone up before?

When Eddison saw that she was staying silent, Eddison raised her head.

“Look at me.”

Rachel looked at Eddison who nodded at her.

“You don’t have to worry about anything. You won’t lose your ladylike image just because you’ve hit someone. In my heart, you are you! When it hurts, you can cry; when you are fed up, you can scream; but when you are angry, you can fight back. This is real life! Not everything has to be tolerated!”

Rachel felt a lump in her throat.

Jarred’s face turned darker. He thought to himself, “What do they mean by all that? Are they mocking me?”

“You’ve gone too far! Rachel, get the hell out of here!”

“Ha…”

Rachel sneered and said, “Eddison, you’re right!”

Ignoring Jarred’s orders, she looked bravely at Jessica.

Jessica was dumbfounded, and she first showed a pitiful look to Eddison.

“I didn’t mean to do it! I really didn’t mean it! This is a misunderstanding.”

However, Eddison did not even look at her, so she had to ask Jarred for help.

“Mr. Gellert, please help me! I really didn’t kick her!”

Jarred shouted at Eddison, “Where are your manners? Stop this right now!” As he said that, he raised his hand to hit Rachel.

Rachel’s heart sank. The next second, Eddison grabbed Jarred’s hand, pushed him back a few steps, and trapped him into a corner.

“You should be glad that you are Rachel’s father! Otherwise…”

Before he could finish his words, Rachel had already kicked Jessica without mercy.

Jessica screamed in pain, “Mr. Gellert! Save me!”

Jarred’s heart ached for her, but there was nothing he could do about it. His family was not like the Granger family as they were not trained in self-defense from a young age.

He was just an ordinary businessman, and he was not young anymore. How could he compete with a young and strong man like Eddison?

After Rachel kicked Jessica, she spoke with hatred.

“This kick is on my mother’s behalf! You ruined someone’s family, framed her for hitting you, and made her into a laughing stock! Am I right?”

How would Jessica dare to admit it? If she were to do so, wouldn’t it be telling Jarred that her previous words were all lies?

“I didn’t do that!”

She was as stubborn as a mule.

Eddison sneered, “If you don’t tell the truth, I’ll hit you until you tell us the truth!”

Jessica was scared out of her wits.
