Elisa couldn't help but smile.
Rachel made the call. The person picked up immediately after a ring.
"Ms. Markee, have you thought of a strategy?"
Rachel gritted her teeth. Although he sounded polite, she knew that he wanted to ask if she had the fifty million prepared already.
She swallowed her fury and said with a smile, "I don't have a plan, but I do have a friend who is willing to help."
Ben paused before answering, "Oh? Do you have a friend who has a strategy? Who is it?"
Rachel drew a breath, trying to calm herself. He must have thought she was sending another sacrifice to him!
"My friend is Iris," Rachel replied without a moment of hesitation.
The sound of glass shattering, followed by a chair's scraping sound, came from the other end. He must have dropped something and tried to jump out of the way.
"Ms. Iris is willing to help my case!" Ben sounded excited.
If Iris was willing to help, he wouldn't have to employ that many lawyers to compensate for his loss.
With Iris, victory was guaranteed!
"Of course, Iris and I are very close. She's right here with me now!" Rachel said proudly.
"Is that true?!" Ben was exhilarated. He changed his tone and spoke respectfully. "Ms. Markee, can you hand the phone to Ms. Iris? I would like to speak to her."
