Lisbeth's voice was cautious as she clarified, "Is it really that hotel?" "Yes," Rachel confirmed, her tone a mix of hope and apprehension.
Lisbeth stood up and embraced Rachel warmly. "I've been looking for a way to support you, and now I think I've found it. It's not just about you; it's about standing up for every woman he's wronged." Rachel, sensing a deeper commitment in her words, inquired, "What exactly are you proposing, Lisbeth?" With a determined look, Lisbeth replied, “He has been a menace for far too long. Many women in our company have been harassed by him. Those who were too scared have kept silent, and others have quit their jobs in despair. But with no evidence and under threat, no one has dared to speak out.” As Rachel absorbed the gravity of the situation, her resolve hardened. "This is despicable." Turning to Sabrina, Rachel's tone turned resolute. "Sabrina, from this moment on, I'm entrusting this case to you. It's not just about me; it's for all those women. We have to win." Sabrina met her gaze, her expression firm. “I won't let you down. For every woman he's harmed, I'll fight with everything I have. He'll face the consequences he deserves, I'll make sure of it." Then, turning to Lisbeth, she extended her hand in greeting. “I'm Sabrina Blakely from Zenith Law Firm." Morε updates in GalLisbeth's eyes widened in recognition. "Zenith Law Firm?" she repeated, her voice tinged with awe. To confirm, she added cautiously, "Eric Riley's firm, right?" "Yes, that's correct," Sabrina confirmed, her expression earnest.
Lisbeth eagerly extended her hand, her face alight with determination. “This is incredible! With Zenith Law Group's reputation and you leading the case, I know we can secure justice for everyone." Sabrina nodded, her determination clear. “I'll start by digging deeper into Charlie's background and connections. He can't cover his tracks forever. Plus, I'll look into ways to retrieve any of the supposedly lost footage." Turning her attention back to Lisbeth, Sabrina continued, "Actually, I need your help with something." "Whatever you need, I'm here," Lisbeth replied without hesitation.

Sabrina nodded, her tone firm yet measured. “It's about the women you mentioned earlier. If we can find them and convince them to testify, we won't just win the case, we'll ensure Charlie faces the harshest punishment possible."
Lisbeth's face darkened as she recalled her encounter with Charlie.
"I've been through it too. He luredunder the guise of a business dinner. m Thankfully, I escaped unscathed when his fiancée unexpectedly showed up. After that, to keep him at bay, I orchestrated a series of public appearances with various friends to mislead him about my personal life. He was too preoccupied smoothing things over with his fiancée to focus on me, and when younger, more attractive women joined the company, he moved on."
Lisbeth let out a bitter laugh, her voice tinged with regret. "Truthfully, I'm no better than the others, too seared to stand up for myself. That's why I'm afraid they won't agree to testify." Rachel grasped Lisbeth's hand reassuringly. "Lisbeth, we mustn't lose hope. Even a sliver of a chance is worth pursuing. We're in this together, and I'll stand by you to convince them."
