Chapter 91 Provocation Masked with a Smile Elisa's mouth twitched. Reluctant to reply Will, she rose and walked out of the courtroom.
Charli turned to Rachel, who was frozen in her spot, and prodded her. “Rach?” Rachel came back to her senses and the confusion on her face vanished. She turned to face Charli. “Charli, | didn’t mishear, did 1? Elisa is Iris?" Charli cleared her throat. “You heard correctly.” They had decided to reveal Elisa's identity in this case. People would have guessed that she was Iris when they defeated Vincent. They might as well make the truth public rather than trouble themselves in the future.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRachel inhaled. “Good heavens! Am | surrounded by geniuses? How clueless am | that | never realized it?!" The trial was basically a final battle between the hero and the villain. It was a remarkable sight to see! Even though Rachel couldn't learn much from it, it was an eye-opener for her.
But she still felt disappointed.
Charli noticed her change in emotions. “Why, what is it?" Rachel pressed her lips together. “Elisa never told me this. Does she... not think of me as her best friend?” “Of course not, you're overthinking this!” Charli quickly replied.
Rachel looked towards her. Her face was filled with hesitation.
Charli sighed. “Back then, Iris was the best of the best in the lawyer world. Many were envious of her abilities. That's why she never told anyone about her identity other than those in our office. But now that she can't hide her identity any longer, and in a society where the law is the power, she decided to reveal it because she can protect herself now.” Rachel gaped. She had never been in touch with the circle and couldn't understand what could have happened.
Charli patted her back, smiling. “She never told you to protect you. You could have been in danger.” Rachel blinked a few times. “Is that true?” “Of course, it's true. Does Elisa not treat you very well? I'm sure that her best friend is you.” Rachel perked up. “That's right!” She nodded while beaming.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRachel's mind was pure. Although she felt disappointed earlier, now she was elated. She wanted to meet Elisa quickly! At the same time, Gareth and Vincent walked out into the parking lot. Elisa and Will followed behind them.
Gareth gave Elisa a death stare. “You've done a great job, Elisa.” Elisa smiled. “That's the first compliment you have ever given me.” Vincent stood by the side silently. He looked at Elisa without a hint of malice. If they weren't opponents, he would have clung to Elisa. He wanted to talk with her and ask her for her strategies.
Even though he was gifted, learning is a lifelong process.
Will smiled. “Mr. Wickam, since you won't be lodging an appeal, please do hurry up with the takeover.” Gareth averted his gaze from Elisa and laughed chillingly. “Mr. Darcey, | didn’t know that you would take advantage of vulnerable people so mercilessly.” “You've overestimated me, Mr. Wickam.” Will's provocation was masked with a smile.
