Zayden nodded. He glanced at Terence and said, “Initially, I intended for him to act as our informant, but it looks like that won’t work anymore.”
Sylva chuckled. “If that’s your intention, I wouldn’t say that the plan is totally ruined. If you manage to take control of these two brothers, you can do things in the open and behind their backs. It may be unexpectedly effective,” he said.
Zayden’s gaze lit upon registering what he said.
Sylva did not say much due to Terence’s presence in the room. However, Zayden instantly made a 180-degree change as an idea popped up in his head due to Sylva’s advice.
After organizing his thoughts, Zayden looked at Terence and snickered. “How certain are you that you’ll be able to convince your brother?” He asked.
Terence peered at Zayden hesitantly after pondering upon it for a while. He could not bring himself to say anything.
“Why are you hesitating? Say it at once!” Zayden said impatiently.
“Mr. Hanks, I know that you’re a prominent figure with extensive capabilities. However, I don’t know if that will be enough to win over my brother. Besides, my brother has just received an investment from Jasper Laine. He’s currently preparing to start up his business, so I’m afraid it might difficult to convince him without a practical excuse,” Terence explained.
Zayden sneered and said, “You haven’t done anything for me yet, but you’re already requesting benefits?”
Terence shivered as he caught sight of Zayden’s cold gaze. “Give me two days, Mr. Hanks. Christmas is coming soon. I’ll think of a way to convince him,” he said immediately.
Zayden hummed nonchalantly and said, “You can promise him that I’ll give him double of whatever Jasper Laine is offering him. After we succeed, the two of you will enjoy plenty of benefits.”
Terence suppressed the excitement in his heart. “Thank you, Mr. Hanks!” He exclaimed courteously.
“Scram.”
