Chapter 2011Chapter 2011 Dog Eat Dog
The final outcome of that matter was a court case, However, they were in the right from the start.
Coupled with Rachel’s support, it went without saying that they had the upper hand..
novelbinIn the end, Brian was indeed sentenced.
Regardless of whether he was fired, the outcome would be the same.
On the day of the trial, Elisa didn’t show up. She never wasted her time on people or things that were of
no use to her.
Since she already knew the outcome, there was no need to make the trip.
After the trial ended, Rachel gave Elisa a call. She recounted how Terence had turned pale and how
Brian had been scared out of his wits, babbling nonsense. As she relayed the story, she couldn’t help
but cover her stomach and laugh. “You wouldn’t believe it. The end was absolutely thrilling. It turned
into a real dogfight. Speaking of Mr. Matthams, he may seem impartial, but he’s actually quite cunning.
From what Brian implies, it seems he’s been scapegoated over the years.”
On the other end of the call, Elisa also started to laugh.
“Well, it’s only natural. Would Mr. Matthams protect Brian just because of their camaraderie? He’s
obviously afraid that if Brian falls, he’ll be implicated. In plain terms, it’s nothing more than acting
prudently to protect himself.” Elisa had a thorough understanding of those business tactics.
Rachel nodded. “Finally, I’ve avenged Bella.”
Elisa curved her lips. “This is only the beginning.”With keen interest, Rachel raised an eyebrow. Is Elisa saying that there are still some big moves to
come?
“What other tough moves do you have? Let’s hear them,” Rachel said.
Rachel had initially thought that Elisa would reveal some ruthless business strategies. However, after
Elisa finished speaking, Rachel laughed so hard that she was on the verge of tearing up.
With a serious expression, Elisa uttered, “Report them.”
How is this any different from tattling to the teacher back in school? Yet, this strategy is the most
straightforward and useful one. Over the years, the two of them have been evading taxes quite a bit. If
they get caught, it would be a catastrophe. In truth, anyone who’s made it big in the business world
has, to some extent, a few skeletons in their closet. Some are directed from above, while others are
driven by their own greed. The problem lies in the fact that corruption permeates every level of Mr.
Matthams’ company, making this issue far more significant. What’s worse is that they’ve crossed paths
with Elisa, a person who won’t stop until she achieves her goal. I guess it won’t be long before Mr.
Matthams also ends up behind bars. Rachel clicked her tongue twice, sighing deeply.
Right then, Elisa asked, “Haven’t you hailed a cab yet?”
Upon hearing that, Rachel snapped back to reality. She had been standing outside for quite some time,
laughing so hard that she was almost rolling on the floor, yet she had completely forgotten to hail a cab.
No wonder people have been giving me strange looks. They probably think I’ve lost my mind after
losing a lawsuit.
Rachel breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that there were no acquaintances around. Otherwise, she
would have wished to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.“Thanks for your reminder! I’ll call a cab right now.” Rachel began to search for her phone.
Elisa stopped her. “No need. I’ve already arranged for someone to pick you up.”
Rachel was greatly relieved. “So you realize how hard I’ve been working and even arranged a car for
me. It seems my efforts for you weren’t in vain after all.”
Elisa was practically suppressing her laughter, which made her voice sound a bit odd. “Yes, I’ve
arranged a private driver just for you. You’ve been tired these days, and both Gareth and Bella haven’t
been feeling well lately. Soaking in a hot spring to ward off the cold now that winter has arrived is a
good idea. I still need to call Grandma to ask if she wants to join us… Anyway, you only need to wait
there for your private driver.”
