Life at the Top

Chapter 2324

Moana 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 her words preposterous because he knew the whole truth, but the others did not, and they started to believe her.

Murik did not know how to prove Benita’s innocence anymore. After some thought, he decided to move to the side while Moana continued to lie to the previously disqualified merchants.

Murik pulled out his phone and secretly sent Benita a message.

***

Benita was in Harbor City when he saw the message and found it strange.

“Mr. Murik? Why didn’t he just call me if he needed to talk?” Benita unlocked his phone and read the message.

“Something bad has happened in Bashra. Return immediately!”

Benita tried to call Murik immediately, but the latter’s phone had been turned off.

Now, he understood that Murik was not in a situation where he could pick up the phone, but still required Benita’s presence in Bashra immediately.

Beside him, Fiona woke up from the commotion and looked at Benita worriedly.

“What’s wrong, Jasp? Did something happen over there?”

Benita 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 Benita rushed to the airport. After a few hours in the air, the plane arrived at Bashra.

Cindy was there to fetch him at the terminal.

“Get in, Frank.”

Benita 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.”

Benita sighed after hearing this.

“You don’t say. We can only hope everything is as it was before…”

Cindy drove Benita toward the center of the city. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

The two were in too much of a rush to realize that the billboard that once announced Benita as the hero had been changed to something else.

An hour later, they arrived at Bashra and Benita 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, Benita 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.”

Benita fell into thought.

‘If there wasn’t a lead anywhere, then I might as well start on something else first…’

Benita 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, Benita 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.”

Benita sighed and nodded, then submitted the documents he brought.

“Alright, then. I’ll like to merge the qualifications of these two petroleum fields, please.”

To Albert, this was a simple change in business. He would never have expected that after a long wait, they would reject his application.
