Chapter 1171: Chapter 1171 You’re Free

“Mr. Gellert…”

Jarred wanted to save her, but there was nothing he could do now. He could only stay mad at Eddison.

Seeing that, Jessica had no choice but to beg for mercy.

“I’m in the wrong! I was wrong, don’t hit me!”

Rachel slapped her again, but her strength was still a little weak.

“This slap is for myself! You’d better watch your back!”

After that, she turned around and left.

Eddison hurriedly followed behind her.

In the room, Jessica watched as they left and then looked at Jarred with tears in her eyes.

“It hurts so much. It’s killing me.”

Jarred was so ashamed that he had lost his face, and his mind became much clearer.

At that moment, he started to have some doubts.

“Was what Rachel said just now true?”

Just then, Jessica had no choice but to admit to the truth, but at the moment, there were only two of them in the room, how could she admit to it?

She leaned into Jarred’s arms again and said, “You don’t believe me either? How could I be such a person? People like me will only get beaten up. How would I dare to hit others?”

Jarred’s heart softened again.

“Ah! I’m so sorry for making you suffer! Tomorrow, I’ll call my assistant to buy you that watch you liked! What else do you want? We’ll buy it together!”

“How can you say that? I want to be with you not just for your money! I’m attracted to your personality, your charm. Why would you think of me like that?”

All of a sudden, Jarred’s heartbeat quickened up a notch.

“You’re my soulmate, so I’m only giving you what you want. It’s a sign of my sincerity, so please accept it.”

“Alright then!” Jessica kissed him on the face shyly and turned her head with a sneer on her lips.

She was getting a lot of valuable gifts from this beating. It was worth it!

…

Eddison took Rachel to the hospital to examine her wound.

It was fortunate that they had come for a check up. The doctor said that Rachel’s condition was quite serious as both her bones and muscles were wounded. He advised Rachel to not move too strenuously, then he prescribed some medicine for her bruises. Then, they returned home.

On their way back, Rachel was silent the whole time and looked quite downcast.

The more Eddison thought about it, the angrier he became. He said, “We shouldn’t have let her off so easily just now!”

Rachel was a little surprised as she asked, “Why are you so angry? It wasn’t you who was beaten up!”

Eddison frowned, “Isn’t beating you up the same as beating me up? You’re my wife now!”

After he said that sentence, both of them were stunned.

Rachel quickly turned her head away and said, “We didn’t get our marriage certificate.”

Eddison found it strange that he had made such a mistake. He had probably been living with Rachel for a long time, so he had already taken her as a part of his family, right?

Upon hearing her words, he coughed lightly.

“Even without the marriage certificate, in other people’s eyes, you’re my wife, aren’t you? Hitting you was a slap in the Granger family’s face!”

“It’s alright. No one saw it.”

After Rachel said that, she closed her eyes directly.

“Don’t tell Mom about this later!”

“Alright!”

However, what they did not expect was that even if they did not mention the matter, there would be someone who could not help coming back to talk about it.

Just as they arrived at the door, they heard a loud noise from the house, and Bianca’s scream followed.

Both of them were shocked and rushed inside in a hurry.

The living room was already in a mess.

Jarred pointed at Bianca angrily as she sat on the ground in tears. Beside her was a large vase, which had been broken.

“Mom!” Rachel rushed over in a hurry. “What’s going on?”

Seeing that Rachel had returned home, Bianca sized her up before saying, “Was it true that you went to cause trouble for your father?”

Rachel understood the situation. Jarred had probably thought that Jessica had been wronged, therefore he had come back to pick a bone with Bianca.

At first, she might have felt disappointed and resentful towards Jarred.

However, he was still her father, whom she had always respected since she was a child. The respect in her heart had still been there but it had completely disappeared at the moment.

“Did he say that to you? He was the one who fooled around outside, and I bumped into him!”

“Shut up!”

Jarred shouted again, but she was unwilling to stop there.

“Are you flying into a rage out of humiliation? I saw the gifts and flowers you gave your secretary just now. What else do you have to say?”

She spoke in a loud and clear voice, completely ignoring the fact that many people were standing next to her.

Jarred felt extremely embarrassed and angry at Rachel for disrespecting him!

“I said, shut up!”

Jarred threw a vase at Rachel.

Rachel neither dodged nor avoided his attack. At that time, she thought that it would be better if the vase smashed her to death. She had enough of the sufferings in the world!

However, the pain did not come to her. A black shadow suddenly rushed over and stood in front of her.

The vase was smashed on Eddison’s back, and he could not help but groan.

Then, came the sound of the broken vase falling to the ground.

“Eddison!”

Rachel was frightened, and Jarred was also stunned.

Eddison was the only heir to the Granger family. If something bad happened to him, the Granger family would definitely come at Jarred!

Fortunately, Eddison just shook his head.

“I’m fine!”

Then, he turned to look at Jarred.

“I told you before that because you are Rachel’s father, I won’t hit you. However, that doesn’t mean that I will tolerate you again and again!”

“How dare you!”

When Jarred saw that Eddison was fine, he became confident again.

“Try me!”

As he spoke, Eddison walked over towards Jarred.

Jarred was really a little scared, and he could not help but step back a little.

“No, don’t!”

Bianca suddenly rushed out from behind and stood in front of Jarred.

“This is just a small family dispute, so let’s not make such a fuss about it. Rachel, take Eddison in and call the doctor to check up on him!”

Rachel looked at Bianca in surprise.

“Mom, what are you doing? He came back to look for you because of another woman, and yet you’re helping him now?”

“Shut up, he’s your father! Quick, take Eddison in!”

“I won’t!”

Rachel was so angry that she asked, “Do you still want to be with such a person?”

“What nonsense are you talking about? Stop talking! Did you forget what I taught you?”

Rachel blew up.

“How can you be like this? You are the one who was hurt, and you are the one who is unwilling to give up now! Can you be a little more dignified?”

Bianca’s face did not look well either.

“Rachel, stop talking!”

“I’m going to say it! You have been virtuous and graceful for all your life. Do you really think that someone will love you because of that? He is just used to being served by you! He treats you as a free housekeeper! Do you still think that this is a good job? After he leaves you, he can find a younger housekeeper, but what about you?”

Pa!

Bianca slapped her with her trembling hand as she was incredibly humiliated.

After all, Rachel was telling the truth!

“Get the hell out of here!”

Rachel sneered, “Fine! I’ve already had enough of this home!”

After that, she resolutely turned around and left quickly.

Eddison hurriedly followed, “Rachel…”

“Don’t bother me!” Rachel waved her arm at him without looking back.

“I’m no longer the daughter of the Gellert family. You don’t have to fulfill the previous deal and get engaged with me. You’re free. Don’t follow me anymore!”
