Life at the Top

Chapter 2290

Jasper smiled. “That’s good, I feel more at ease now. You should go now. I’ll wait for your good news here.”

It would not take long to review the materials, but Murik needed to go there personally.

Murik nodded before he stood up and left. Only Jasper and Celine were left in the private room. The atmosphere was a bit ambiguous and awkward.

“You don’t have to keep looking at me like this. Since I’ve decided to come, I must have considered the consequences and the risks. Furthermore, once this oil field is under my name, it will definitely benefit me… You don’t have to blame yourself so much.”

Fortunately, Celine was born into a wealthy family. Although she was born as a daughter, she never seemed petty. Her magnanimous tone also clarified her position. If Jasper was still struggling with this trivial matter, it would mean he was not magnanimous enough.

After hearing this, Jasper deliberately pretended like he was taught a lesson and nodded repeatedly.

”Yes, yes, Miss Maynard, you’re right. As expected of a lady from a rich family, the way you talk is also different from others!”

Celine was amused when she saw Jasper like this. This smile eased Celine’s pressure.

It would be nonsense to say that Celine came here without feeling any pressure.

Celine had been pampered since she was a child, and she had never seen such a chaotic scene as what was happening in Qari.

Celine was gritting her teeth the entire time. She only did not lose control because she forced herself to stay calm.

After calming down a little bit, Celine still felt that Jasper’s previous behavior was too risky, so she asked, “Do you have to endure a hail of bullets every time you do business in Qari in the future?”

Jasper nodded seriously and did not conceal anything when he saw Celine’s questioning expression.

”That‘s right. I can’t lie to you about this. In case you decided to stay and then found out it’s not the same as you imagine. Then, I’ll be a great sinner…”

Jasper also told her what happened to him when he arranged for a substitute to come here. He did not mean to scare Celine. He just wanted to have her understand the cruel environment here as soon as possible. Only in this way could Jasper be worthy of Celine’s help during a critical moment.

After hearing Jasper’s story, Celine let out a sigh in her heart.

It would be impossible for Celine not to be tempted by a man as excellent as Jasper. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

However, women’s thoughts were often delicate, and their feelings were even more complicated and confusing. Even Celine could not tell whether she fell in love with Jasper or whether she just admired him.

If it was the former, it would be troublesome, but if it was the latter, it would be much easier to handle.

“Why? Did what I say just now scare you?” Jasper noticed Celine had stopped talking after he finished his story.

He was afraid that he would scare the other party, so he deliberately joked again.

“Of course not. I’m just thinking about business. Since this place is so dangerous, why do you still stay here? Although oil is precious, won’t this all be a dream without a stable trading environment?”

As soon as Celine said this, Jasper could also see that she was definitely not useless.

“You can’t say that. If you want to obtain a stable and safe trading environment here, you have to prove your strength. Otherwise, there must be a reason why so many world-class billionaires were born here, and on the peninsula next door.”

Jasper was very straightforward. On the surface, the environment here was very dangerous and chaotic.

In reality, Jasper could see clearly that as long as one had strength, one could make peace in the midst of this chaos.

Therefore, what Jasper had to do was to be the first Somerlander to find peace amidst the turmoil here!
