Chapter 729 The Mission
“It's not a nine-to-five job, I suppose?” Donald asked.
“Of course not,” Susan answered with a smile. “I heard from Gavin that you're in the employ of DragonFide Corporation?”
“Yes. What about it?”
“Will you be able to get in touch with Jennifer Wilson?”novelbin
When Donald heard Susan mention Jennifer, he narrowed his eyes and stopped counting thebanknotes. “Of course, I know Jennifer. She's the CEO of Dragon Fide Corporation.”
“Will you be able to get near her?” Susan then took out a bank card from her handbag and placed it onthe table. “Aldrich has issued a mission—anyone who can kill Jennifer will be rewarded with five million.There's five hundred thousand in this bank card. Consider this as my deposit to you. I'll pay you theremaining four million and five hundred thousand if you succeed in killing Jennifer.”
Initially, Donald had only intended to investigate Aldrich's arms smuggling in Pollerton, but to hissurprise, he also discovered that the latter had issued an assassination order in the undergroundcircles.
Donald took up the bank card and asked another question, “How many people have accepted thismission?”
Susan threw him a puzzled glance and asked, “What has that got to do with you?”
“I should at least find out how many people I am competing against, shouldn't I? Jennifer's bodyguardsare no ordinary individuals. Even if I'm able to get close to her, it's not guaranteed that I'll succeed,” he
explained.
Susan contemplated for a while before she replied, “Based on what I know, three people haveaccepted the mission. If you're not confident in the mission, you can wait for the others to make theirmove and find an opening amidst the chaos to kill her.”
She then ordered her subordinates to get rid of Ruth's and Zordan's bodies.
After briefing Donald on the areas he needed to take note of as her newly hired subordinate, Susaninstructed Gavin to escort Donald out of the factory.
As soon as they stepped out of the room, Gavin gave Donald a thumbs-up and praised, “You'reamazing, Mr. Campbell. I've not seen Susan treat anyone this well in a long time. Do you know howdifficult it was for me to become her subordinate?”
Susan did not declare Donald's actual rank as her subordinate, but based on the gift and mission givenby her, Gavin knew the other's man position would be superior to his.
At that, he was relieved that he had established a decent relationship with Donald earlier, as he did notmake things difficult for the latter.
If not for their good relationship, Donald might have sought revenge against him and caused himimmense suffering.
After leaving the factory, Donald went straight to Dragon Fide Corporation.
Amelia, who had been awaiting his arrival at the entrance, went forth to receive him when she saw himfrom a distance.
Clad in a set of white office attire, she greeted, “Mr. Campbell.”
Combined with the light makeup she had put on that day, she seemed different from usual.
Amelia had always been a woman with good looks and was merely deprived of an opportunity.
“Are you ready?” Donald gave her an indifferent glance.
“Yes, Mr. Campbell. I'm ready,” she replied.
“Let's go, then.”
After arriving on the floor where the conference rooms were located, Donald took her straight to thehighest-level conference room dedicated to the board of directors.
That conference room was typically reserved for meetings that discussed important decisions regardingthe company's internal affairs. The fact that an employee like Amelia was allowed entry to that placewas considered a privilege for her.
Upon entering the conference room, Amelia saw Jennifer, who was seated at the furthest end of thetable.
The latter was accompanied by the seventeen newly appointed directors of Dragon Fide Corporation.Among them was Winslow.
“Mr. Campbell, who is she?” one of the directors asked.
The directors, who were in the middle of discussing the company's next year's development plan, werecaught off guard when Donald entered the room uninvited with a stranger in tow.
Sven Webber, one of the directors, looked at Donald with a puzzled expression, but his gaze betrayedhis displeasure.
Everyone in the conference room knew Donald was the son the Campbell family had disowned.
