Life at the Top

Chapter 2279

Murik could only sigh helplessly when he saw Jasper’s reaction.

“Sigh, it seems that this matter is only troubling to those forced to suffer from it. I feel the same way as you. But I have to obey the order!”

Jasper did not find it strange at all when he heard Mr. Murik‘s response. After all, although Murik was a good person, his foolish loyalty had been deeply rooted in his bones.

Whether it was Jasper or others, the falsity of this so-called document could be seen at a glance.

Jasper did not want to continue arguing with Murik on this issue either. In any case, he knew that in Murik’s heart, all orders issued by the higher-ups must be true. Thus, Jasper was thinking about problems that could actually be solved.

After thinking about it, Jasper finally thought of the most critical point.

“Since the order has been issued from above saying that every Somerland businessman can only own one oil field here, I’ll just arrange for more people to come over.”

Upon hearing what Jasper said, Murik also felt that this was an excellent solution.

“That makes sense. Anyway, Mr. Jefferson is my good friend, and I don’t want to give up the oil field under his name.”

“He won’t be able to manage it for the time being. So it would be nice if someone else could take over. Do you have any suitable candidates?”

When Murik asked that, Jasper answered right away.

“Of course there is. This person’s name is Rowan Jefferson. He is Saul’s nephew and a direct relative. From all angles, he is the most suitable candidate to take over! I don’t think you want to see Mr. Jefferson’s oil field being occupied by others too, right, Mr. Murik?”

Those words went straight to Murik’s heart, and he nodded quickly.

”You’re right. I won’t be able to stand it. Contact this man named Rowan immediately, and give me a copy of his detailed information at the same time… I need to send his information to the headquarters as soon as possible as well, and I’ll ask them to approve it as soon as possible.”

After Murik finished speaking, Jasper also started to act.

He provided a copy of Rowan’s information to Murik on the spot and contacted Rowan while he was at it.

“Hey, Jasper, it’s been so long since you called me. Are you calling to tell me good news?” Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Jasper could not endure hearing how excited Rowan sounded on the phone.

In the end, Jasper told him anyway.

“I have not let you down, and I have established a firm foothold in Bashra, Qari… But I called you today to tell you bad news.”

“What bad news? Something bad happened to your uncle!” As soon as Jasper said that, Rowan was taken aback.

“What? Did something happen to my uncle? Jasper, are you kidding me?”

”Have I everjoked about something so serious?”

Hearing this, Rowan also came to his senses. However, he still could not believe it because Rowan knew that his uncle Saul had worked hard in Bashra for many years, so it stood to reason that he would not randomly get into any accidents.

”Jasper, tell me the truth, what happened?”

Jasper could also feel Rowan calming down a bit. Only then did Jasper recount the details of the incident.

After listening to Jasper, Rowan also realized the gravity of the situation.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Jefferson is not in any danger now. He can’t manage the oil field now, and I’m being targeted, so that’s why I contacted you.”

“I hope you can be prepared. There is a high probability that you will have to inherit your uncle’s oil field.”
