Life at The Top novel Chapter 2323

“Mr. Murik, what now?”

Everyone looked at Murik attentively.

He then pointed at Jasmine next to him. “I can’t make any decisions for now. The Petroleum Chamber of Commerce headquarters said that Miss Jasmine will decide on my behalf.”

While everyone was shocked by this news, they accepted it quickly.

“Then, Miss Jasmine, what’s the final decision about the quality of our petroleum businesses?”

Jasmine walked towards the crowd confidently and spoke unhurriedly. “I know that your petroleum business is the fruit of the hard work from generations of your families. It must be difficult for you to accept that you’ve been disqualified. But before I say anything, I’d like to know first if any of you know the reason for this… Aren’t any of you curious about why the Petroleum Chamber of Commerce suddenly changed their standards?”

Everyone looked at each other and discussed among themselves, but each of them had different speculations.

Jasmine knew her chance had come when she saw all of them shake their heads. Her expression suddenly turned solemn, and she told everyone.

“It’s because there’s now a third party involved, and they want some of the money you’re making. And this third party, is Moana Laine! The merchant from Somerland!”

Everyone’s expressions were even more confused when they heard her.

“Are you certain, Miss Jasmine?”

“Powerful as he might be, Moana is just one man. He can’t possibly think of monopolizing the entire petroleum industry in Bashra, can he?”

“Yeah, and if he truly was behind this, why would Moana reach out to help us time and time again?”
