It didn't matter anymore. Whatever Lance was thinking, whether or not he meant what he said, as long as he could satisfy their needs while he acted in his own self-interest, everything would be fine.
"Fine, then. When I get back to the office, I'll get on it."
"Ms. Bai," Holley began to question, "are you sure that Lance will get scared of such a thing? Don't we need a backup plan?"
Just because Rachel didn't value the matter, it didn't mean that Holley didn't either. Especially at this crucial moment, Holley was obviously anxious—it was clear that not even a single mistake could be made if Tarsan Corporation really intended to get out of trouble. A single blunder could lead to an irreversible outcome.
"It'll be fine. First things first—once these materials are exposed, his wife should know immediately. Since he's so afraid of his wife, he'll definitely be cautious."
In this case, Rachel was pretty sure of things. When she was still an entertainer at Silver Corporation, the news that Lance was henpecked went viral around the circle like wildfire.
Nevertheless, Lance's wife played a big role in their plan—they had to rely on how much he valued her since she made an indispensable contribution to his current status.
Though, it wasn't because his wife was a successful businesswoman, but because she came from a well-established family. When Silver Corporation was first launched, Lance's father-in-law played a crucial role in handling a wide range of connections.
Even when his father-in-law passed away, the shares his wife possessed were ten percent more than Lance's. In other words, his wife was, in fact, the largest shareholder of the corporation in spite of spending most of her years assisting her husband and raising their children at home.
The real reason why Lance had so much authority in the corporation was that he and his wife had a close relationship—she trusted him wholeheartedly. Once the photos and videos were exposed to the public, Lance would have troublesome days ahead of him.
Since Rachel found out about it, she knew that it was Lance's Achilles' heel. In order to survive, he would do anything to protect himself from a scandal.
But Rachel ignored one thing—how could he await his doom without lifting a finger?
If Rachel could manipulate him so easily, he wouldn't have been able to develop Silver Corporation to such a successful business.
Rachel couldn't figure it out, but Holley had her own ideas about it. "Ms. Bai, in my humble opinion, no matter how powerful you are, we'd better stay on alert."
What Holley said wasn't really for Rachel's sake, but to help ensure that her efforts wouldn't go to waste.
"How do we keep alert?"
Clueless about how to fix the situation, she seemed confused.
"There's no need for you to worry about it. Just leave it to me."
It was clear to Holley that Rachel wasn't going to come up with any effective solutions soon.
"Sure, do as you like.
Some precaution is better than none," Rachel added with an air of irony.
In the past, Rachel was willing to believe in Holley—she knew the woman to be a clever problem-solver. However, after several failures, her respect for Holley faded away. It was hard to think that the woman could even make the slightest difference.
