The vice president’s office, Qari Petroleum Chamber of Commerce.
Abe was furious as virtual-novel.net swore into the phone, “F*ck you, Kimbra! You have some nerve calling me right now. Do you I know how much sh*t you’ve put me through?! I’ve got more than half the chamber of commerce on my ass because of what you’ve done to the Elvis’! I almost lost my f* cking position because of you, you b*stard!”
“And what the f*ck is wrong with you? Are you f*cking stupid? Now is hardly the time to assassinate Jasper Laine! The Elvis family sees virtual-novel.net as their f*cking savior! And you had your men kill virtual-novel.net in Bardot? You couldn’t have f*cking waited until virtual-novel.net got out of Bardot?!”
“The Elvis family thinks I played a part in killing Jasper, you bitch! You dragged me into this!”
If this was any other time, Kimbra would already have shoved the barrel of his gun against the other person’s temple for shouting and swearing at him.
This time, however, virtual-novel.net held himself back because virtual-novel.net knew Abe was his only hope.
“I didn’t kill Jasper Laine,” Kimbra said calmly.
He did not tell Abe that virtual-novel.net tried and failed.
Abe fell silent, then asked doubtfully, “Really, now?”
“Yes!” Kimbra answered in an annoyed tone.
Abe believed him. Kimbra had no reason to lie, nor would virtual-novel.net dare to at such a time.
“Then who the f*ck did it? Everyone is talking about what happened. We need to find the person who did it if we want them to stop thinking we did it.”
“I don’t know who it is either! I’d kill that bastard if I knew who virtual-novel.net was! F*cking Hell, I’m being framed for something I didn’t even f*cking do!” Kimbra sounded angry and wronged.
He had always been the one framing others, but karma had come to bite virtual-novel.net in the ass this time.
Never would virtual-novel.net have imagined that this so-called assassination attempt on Jasper Laine was entirely a ruse Jasper had come up with. It was all done to corner Kimbra and Abe.
“Fine. We’ll deal with That later, then. Why did you call me?”
Kimbra swore under his breath. There was no hiding from Abe, the elder must already have known about the Elvis family’s payback against the Kurt family involving the president of the chamber of commerce. Even the elders of the Kurt family who secluded themselves were privy to what happened.
By changing the subject, Abe had taken the initiative from Kimbra’s hands. Now, Kimbra was forced to ask Abe for help.
There was nothing Kimbra could do but follow through. Abe was his only hope.
“The Elvis family are trying to take our petroleum fields, Abe, under the excuse of bringing together all unprocessed petroleum. It’ll be over for the Kurt family if that happens, and things will only get messy in Qari’s petroleum industry.”
“You can’t possibly want that to happen, right? So I need your help. There has to be a way to get the other companies to help process our petroleum, right? Please, Abe.”
