Chapter 6 An Additional Condition
- Will respected Iris and arrived here early. He did not expect to bump into his enemy's wife.
- Meanwhile, Elisa walked in and smiled as she took a seat opposite Will. "I haven't gone to the wrong room. Didn't you invite me?"
- Will saw Charli standing behind Elisa and instantly realized something.
- "You're Iris?"
- His eyes flashed with astonishment. Elisa was undeniably gorgeous. One could never forget her beauty after a glance at her.
- They made everyone seem lackluster in her presence.
- Unfortunately, this lovely lady was Gareth's wife.
- Will looked at Charli and gave a cryptic smile. "Ms. Lucas, why don't you explain this?"
- Charli cleared her throat and said awkwardly, "Mr. Darcey, I was unclear about Iris' situation previously, so I wasn't able to explain it to you. However, since we have agreed to take your case, we can now reveal some matters to you now."
- Will narrowed his eyes and paused for a moment before saying expressionlessly, "So, are you telling me the top lawyer that I am doing everything to appoint is my opponent's wife?"
- Elisa smiled and corrected him, "Ex-wife."
- Despite how composed Will was, he could not help but appear a little shocked. "Ex-wife?"
- Elisa extended her hand. "Mr. Darcey, I am Iris. It's nice meeting you for the first time. I hope we can work well together."
- Although she had seen him a few times as Mrs. Darcy, it was indeed her first time meeting him as Iris.
- Will shook her hand, but his smile remained somewhat skeptical. "Ms. Iris, why the sudden divorce?"
- Charli immediately felt indignant and said, "Mr. Wickam is a greedy man. Ms. Iris…"
- "Charli…" Elisa interrupted her and glared at her to stop bringing up her personal matters.
- Then, she turned to Will and said, "Mr. Darcey, I know how vital this case is to Darcey Group. Therefore, I will never play around with it. You might not trust Mr. Wickam's ex-wife, Elisa, but you must not doubt Iris. I have no reason to ruin my reputation."
- Will narrowed his eyes slightly. However, he soon chuckled.
- "About this case, Gareth has Vincent Shane on his side. I believe no one can help me win other than Ms. Iris."
- Vincent was an elite lawyer who had never lost a case. A mention of his name would induce fear among other lawyers. Furthermore, he and Gareth were childhood friends.
- Some said Vincent was as good as Iris. Thus, people were interested to see Vincent and Iris going head-to-head in court.
- That was also why Will did everything he could to get Iris to represent him.
- But now…
- There was an unexpected coincidence, but that made the matter even more interesting.
- When the dishes were served, Will smiled and said, "There's still plenty of time. Let's eat first."
- He picked up his glass and smiled. "Ms. Iris, would you like a drink?"
- "No, wine is harmful to health. I heard you have gastric issues. Let's just enjoy the food."
- Will smiled and seemed to imply something. "I didn't expect Ms. Iris to be so 'concerned' about me and know about my gastric issues."
- Faced with his teasing words, Elisa gave a casual smile and continued eating.
- After that, she did not say anything but focused on eating the food. She ate elegantly at a moderate pace.
- Meanwhile, Will ate slowly as if he was someone noble.
- On the other hand, Charli was not in the mood to enjoy the food.
- She glanced at Will from the corner of her eyes and became worried. Will doesn't seem to trust us.
- Once Elisa put down the cutleries, Will finally looked at her. "I'm quite surprised by our first meeting."
- Elisa smiled, "It's okay. There will be more surprises in the future."
- Will arched an eyebrow, and his eyes gleamed with interest. "I'll look forward to them."
- Suddenly, Charli cleared her throat. "I think we are almost done with the meal. Should we discuss the case?"
- Elisa looked at Will calmly. "I already know the specifics about the case and believe we can win. I am also happy with the fees you offered, but I have an additional condition."
- "We can win."
- Although Elisa had said those words casually, Will believed her.
- He looked at the gorgeous woman before him with a flash of surprise in his eyes.
- People said beautiful women are like vases. But what about this lady?
- If she is not lying and is really Iris, it means she should never be underestimated!
- Will nodded and replied warmly, "What is it? I will agree if it is within my abilities."
- Elisa tapped her index finger on the table from time to time. She looked at Will and smiled calmly. "I heard Mr. Morris will be having a birthday banquet in ten days."
- Will gave her a once-over before speaking. "So what?"
