Chapter 2158

"Take a seat," Lawrence's expression softened slightly as he gestured for Iris to take a seat.

Iris glanced at him and gracefully took a seat next to the couch.

Then she went straight to the point, stating, "Mr. Lawrence, I assume you remember what happened last night. So,

let's talk about what you need me to do and what you can offer me in return."

"Do you want Jared or his empire?" Lawrence asked candidly, not hiding his intentions.

Iris raised an eyebrow. "What's the difference?"

"It's obvious. If Jared retains his current position, you'll never have him. So..."

Leaving the sentence hanging, he thought to himself, 'You should understand what I mean, right?'

Iris bit her lip, displaying signs of being conflicted within. She obviously wanted Jared, but...

Then, she looked at Lawrence and asked again, "What do you want me to do?"

Clearly, Lawrence wanted Jared to lose everything. If she had to choose between the two, she would choose Jared,

but Lawrence was not a fool either. He would not help her for nothing if she was not of any use to him. Thus, she

needed to assess whether she could pull it and whether she could wipe her hands clean thereafter.

She did not want to end up with nothing in the end: with no money and a great deal of resentment from Jared.

"Hah, no wonder you were able to stay by Jared's side for five years." Lawrence suddenly laughed, realizing that

there was intelligence behind that pretty face of hers.

Iris shook her head. "You don't need to flatter me. We both have our own interests. I just need to know if my efforts

will be proportional to the rewards."

"For having been by his side for so long, you are the person who knows Jared and the Johnston family best. You

know what I want from you. It just comes down to whether you're willing to do it or not," Lawrence replied.

He believed she was a clever woman who understood what he wanted very well.

"What can I get in return, then?" Iris asked, not beating around the bush since they had seen through each other.

"Isn't Jared enough?" Lawrence countered.

Iris smiled. "If we succeed, absolutely. But in case we don't, I can't end up with nothing."

"What do you mean?" Lawrence squinted, realizing that Iris was hungry for more.

"If we succeed, I will leave San Joto with Jared and never come back. If we fail, you'll have to give me a sum of

money that will ensure that I will be stress free for the rest of my

life," Iris stated directly.

"If we fail, do you think I will still be able to look out for you?" Lawrence's gaze flashed with a hint of menace.

Iris, however, was not afraid. "I believe you can, and you will."

Although she did not know the person sitting before her, she had a strong intuition that he was a complicated man,

one whom he did not wish to know more about. She would just work with him for her goal this time. Regardless of

the outcome of the plan, she would never get herself involved with Lawrence ever again.

Lawrence fell silent. He looked at Iris's fearless and calm demeanor and felt somewhat concerned deep down. Iris

was smarter than he had expected, and he liked this sort of intelligence.

"Okay," Lawrence agreed.

Iris nodded with satisfaction. "Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

"Ian, see our guest off," Lawrence called out.

Soon, Ian came in and escorted Iris out.

Lawrence leaned back against his chair, his eyes deep and dark...

The sun was scorching in the afternoon. After having lunch together, Nicole and Lulu returned to the headquarters

of the Riddle Corporation.

"Hey, have you heard? DillCorp and NandoCorp are fighting

over a project. It's pretty fierce too," Lulu said in a low voice.

Nicole, however, found her gloating amusing.

"Try and guess who will win," Nicole said. 'Lulu sure knows how to gossip.'
