My Second Husband novel Chapter 1199

After lunch, everyone began to carry out their club activities.

They were the members of the reading club, so naturally, they had come to discuss the books that they had read.

Rachel liked historical books a lot. It happened that a few people were talking about historical stories that they had read. Therefore, she listened carefully to them.

The other people also behaved well as if nothing had happened between Rachel and them in the morning.

During the break, several girls wanted to go to the toilet.

However, there were no washrooms in the remote area they were in. Hence, they had to simply urinate at some inconspicuous spots.

Eddison looked at Rachel, who seemed to be holding her bladder for quite a long time.

"Do you want to go too?"

She definitely wanted to go, but she was not familiar with those girls at all. Thus, she could not count on them to guard her.

"I'll go with you!" said Eddison.

Rachel was rendered speechless.

"Well, that won't be necessary. I can still—"

"Let's go!"

After that, he had already got up and left. Rachel almost couldn't hold it in anymore, so she quickly followed him.

The two of them deliberately headed in the opposite direction that those girls had gone just then. Eddison found a secluded spot for Rachel.

He reassured, "Don't worry. I'll walk further and wait for you over there!"

Then, he turned around and walked away.

Rachel took a deep breath and felt at ease.

After relieving herself, she happened to see him standing at the edge of a hill with his back facing her. It was almost afternoon, and the hill sat amidst the white clouds, shrouded in mist.

From that morning till then, she was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery of her surroundings due to the troubles caused by Sierra's friends.

Rachel walked towards Eddison slowly, but she was soon stopped by some people.

They were the girls who had insulted Rachel in the morning. That girl who was leading them, Cecil, was Sierra's number one fan, one that would not stop singing praises of Sierra.

However, Sierra was not with them.

Rachel paused and took a step back subconsciously.

She thought they were there for the same purpose as her, so she gave way to them. However, they had apparently not come to relieve themselves. As Rachel took a step back, they took a step forward, confronting her.

"Well, you're not that good- looking. How come you're so adept at seducing men?"

Rachel understood at once that they had come to take up the cudgels for Sierra.

She furrowed her brows and said, "Please get out of my way."

Cecil pushed Rachel violently, saying, "Hey, stop acting arrogantly! Stay away from Eddison!"

"It's none of your business."

Rachel tried to remain composed. Undeniably, she felt a little nervous.

She was not like Naomi, who had been fearless since she was a child.

Fear was one of the most basic human emotions and it worked like an instinct. Rachel could not help being scared, but she still tried to restrain herself.

"None of my business? You are so proud of yourself for being able to seduce Eddison, aren't you? Now, you have to apologize to Sierra and stay away from him!"

Rachel gritted her teeth and said, "That's impossible!"

"Well then, I'll let you know the price of being a homewrecker!"

After that, she threw a punch at Rachel's face.

Rachel tried to dodge the hit, but the punch still landed on the side of her ear. As a result, she grimaced in pain.

She cried for help, "Eddison!"

"Don't you dare call him for help! Girls, let's teach her a lesson!"

Subsequently, they started punching and kicking her.

Initially, Eddison was standing at the edge of the hill, waiting for Rachel. He was afraid that Rachel would feel embarrassed, therefore he purposely stood there. He intended to give her more privacy, but the downside was that it was difficult for him to hear Rachel's voice.

What was more, he turned his back to her, hence he failed to notice what was happening to Rachel.

It was not until he vaguely heard a noise behind him that he turned around, only to find that several girls were hitting Rachel.

He immediately made a dart for her and pushed those girls away.
