Chapter 256

Kayden shuddered and said, “That's against the law, Ms. Zoey. I'll get a long jail term if we get caught. What grudges do you have against Ms. Jefferson to warrant such drastic actions?”

Zoey looked up and shot him a cold-eyed stare. “Mr. Jennings, with great risk comes great reward. If you don't want to be bothered by your huge debt anymore, you'll have to take some risks. It's your call.”

“I...” Kayden fell silent, caught in a dilemma.

“You don't have to make a decision now. I'll give you a couple of days to consider, but I hope to hear good news from you in a few days' time. I've specially prepared that gift of money for you, so don't let it go to waste,” Zoey said.

She took the check from the table, shoved it into Kayden's hand, then leaned over and whispered in his ear, “On the other hand, if you disappoint me, I'm afraid you'll have no place in Dyke Pharmaceutical anymore.”

Kayden turned around in shock. “You... Is that a threat?” he asked in a quivering voice.

Zoey smiled, patted him on his shoulder, then turned to head out of his office. As she walked off, she said, “Mr. Jennings, you managed to climb the corporate ladder and rise to become the head of this subsidiary, so I believe you are an ambitious and capable man. I'm sure you'll make a decision that's a win-win for both of us. If you successfully pull off this feat, I'll put up a recommendation for you to be rewarded with Shurmer Group's stock option.”

Kayden tightened his grip on the check and watched as Zoey disappeared around the corner of the corridor. He then quickly walked over, closed his office door, fished out his phone, and dialed a number.

“Hello, is it Mr. White?”

A soft grunt of acknowledgment came from the other end of the phone.
