Chapter 917 Trojan Horse 

“Mr. Lee, how should we handle this?” 

Jem turned to Kaze. 

“How do you think we should approach the issue?” Kaze asked, passing the question back to 

Jem. 

Jem said with a smile, “We were going to call the cops when we first realized the problem.” 

He paused and observed Kaze’s reaction. 

Kaze kept a blank face, knowing Jem was not finished. 

Getting no response from Kaze, Jem smiled nonchalantly and said, “But Ms. Song is your assistant. By getting the cops involved…. 

He paused and took his time to say, “The scandal won’t reflect well on you and the company.” 

“Your point?” Kaze asked indifferently, having no patience for Jem’s minced words. 

“My opinion doesn’t matter since I’m just a sales director.” 

Jem rose from the chair unhurriedly. “So you should decide whether to call the cops or handle the problem discreetly, Mr. Lee.” 

While talking, he turned to the other employees with a grimace and said curtly, “Before Mr. 

Lee makes 

up 

his mind, no one should call the cops and leak the news, or you will have to answer to me. Get it?” 

“Got it!” the employees responded in unison with their heads down, too scared to meet Jem’s chilling gaze. 

Kaze frowned. 

in the firm. 

Jem just showed him how much sway he had in the firm. 

“Take your time to think about it, Mr. Lee. I have to go now. Feel free to come to me with a decision. Hahaha…” 

Jem left the office with a guffaw. 

“How old are you, Ms. Song? You’ve smudged your makeup with your tears. Hahaha!”

Leslie took off arrogantly. 

All the employees left, leaving Kaze and Sophie in the office. 

Here you go.” 

“Uh… Thank you, Mr. Chairman.” 

Sophie took the tissue from Kaze and wiped her tears. She said anxiously, “I didn’t know the boxes of chocolate eggs contained money, Mr. Chairman. I have nothing to do with the two individuals who embezzled the funds and ran away. Please believe me.” 

“Of course, I believe you, Sophie.” 

Kaze said, “I only asked you to take a job with the investment firm yesterday. Even an idiot would know you wouldn’t take any money. 

“I doubt you could be involved with embezzlement in the millions on your first day at the job.” 

Sophie’s mind wandered back to her colleagues‘ expressions. They were skeptical of her. 

She was confused. 

“These people aren’t idiots. They are playing along with Jem. I’m just the new general manager, so they don’t see me as an influential figure.” 

Kaze added with a smirk, “Don’t read too much into it, Sophie. You were set up, but you’re not the target. I am.” 

“You? Are they trying to put you behind bars?” 

Freaking out, Sophie said tearfully, “The trouble started with me, Mr. Chairman. I’ll take the prison sentence, but can you please take care of my mother for me?” 

The woman’s teary eyes left Kaze speechless. 

He said helplessly, “The matter isn’t serious enough to warrant jail time. It’s just a scare tactic to sideline me. 

“Well, Jem has another thing coming.” Kaze’s face was stoic.
