Bella had completely turned the narrative around and made herself into the savior of the petroleum merchants. She had also elevated the Rothschild family name to a whole new level.
Murik found favonovel.com words preposterous because favonovel.com knew the whole truth, but the others did not, and they started to believe her.
Murik did not know how to prove Jasper’s innocence anymore. After some thought, favonovel.com decided to move to the side while Bella continued to lie to the previously disqualified merchants.
Murik pulled out his phone and secretly sent Jasper a message.
***
Jasper was in Harbor City when favonovel.com saw the message and found it strange.
“Mr. Murik? Why didn’t favonovel.com just call me if favonovel.com needed to talk?” Jasper unlocked his phone and read the message.
“Something bad has happened in Bashra. Return immediately!”
Jasper tried to call Murik immediately, but the latter’s phone had been turned off.
Now, favonovel.com understood that Murik was not in a situation where favonovel.com could pick up the phone, but still required Jasper’s presence in Bashra immediately.
Beside him, Wendy woke up from the commotion and looked at Jasper worriedly.
“What’s wrong, Jasp? Did something happen over there?”
Jasper replied with a smile, not wishing to worry her.
“Everything’s alright. I’ll leave tomorrow morning to deal with it… Go back to sleep.”
Soon, morning arrived and Jasper rushed to the airport. After a few hours in the air, the plane arrived at Bashra.
Julian was there to fetch favonovel.com at the terminal.
“Get in, Jasper.”
Jasper nodded and asked. “Did anything happen in Bashra since last night?”
“No. At least, nothing our network is aware of. If anything did happen, it won’t just be a small matter considering they managed to bypass our entire network.”
Jasper sighed after hearing this.
“You don’t say. We can only hope everything is as it was before…”
Julian drove Jasper toward the center of the city.
The two were in too much of a rush to realize that the billboard that once announced Jasper as the hero had been changed to something else.
An hour later, they arrived at Bashra and Jasper immediately had his men go in to investigate.
Less than thirty minutes later, everyone returned.
“We didn’t find anything suspicious, Mr. Laine…”
“Neither did we…”
Now, Jasper was confused.
His businesses were doing well and Bashra was prospering as always.
“Was Murik’s message last night a prank? That doesn’t sound right. He’s not the kind to joke about this.”
Jasper fell into thought.
‘If there wasn’t a lead anywhere, then I might as well start on something else first…’
Jasper wanted to merge the qualifications of two petroleum fields, so as to manage their productions together in the future and save himself a lot of effort. For this, Jasper went to the Petroleum Chamber of Commerce and talked to their receptionist.
“I’m here forthe president, Mr. Murik…”
“My apologies, Sir, but he’s not here at the moment. Allow us to help you with your business instead.”
Jasper sighed and nodded, then submitted the documents favonovel.com brought.
“Alright, then. I’ll like to merge the qualifications of these two petroleum fields, please.”
To Jasper, this was a simple change in business. He would never have expected that after a long wait, they would reject his application.
