Chapter 2058 Joaqin turned around and ignored her. “Since you don‘t want to apologize to them, you‘re not allowed
to get out of this building from today onward. Now go back to your room.”
She bit her lower lip and dashed upstairs exasperatedly.
Manuel witnessed the whole process of Florence being wronged, and what he saw tortured him in all possible ways.
He had been with the young lady for so long and had never seen her be wronged. He did not understand the reason
Joaqin would compromise with the Southerns.
‘Those people deserve to die.‘
Florence had been grounded, and Joaqin had to send someone else to the Commune to apologize on her behalf to
show their sincerity, which was the end of the matter. A few days later, Cameron went to the port to check on the
goods. The Southern Clan went through the goods that they imported and exported very rigorously, and any non–
compliant or illegal goods would be destroyed immediately.

to shade her from the scorching sun.
The East Islands did not go through the four seasons all year round. They did not have winter, and the summer was
so long that foreign merchants who came here for the first time would not get used to this.
“Mr. Southern, these are the recent invoices for our goods. You can go through them.” The staff of the port handed
her the ledger. She took it into her hand, walked to the side, got herself a chair, sat down, and flipped through the
book. After skimming through, she frowned. “Why did you order so many containers of liquor? Are you planning to
stock up for New Year‘s?” The staff bit the bullet and replied, “It‘s because the East Gate Clubhouse has been in
high demand recently. I‘m only providing them the goods according to their order.” Cameron leaned against the
backrest and crossed her arms. “According to the East Gate Clubhouse‘s passenger flow in recent years, it has lost
a lot more customers than in previous years. They should be thanking their Gods that they’re not in urgent need of
selling the drinks that they‘ve failed to sell on the premises. And here they are, wasting so much money on
reserving three times more alcohol than they did in previous years, risking being taxed?” The East Gate Clubhouse
was located downtown, a territory that belonged to the Southern Clan‘s Chamber of Commerce. The business of
the clubhouse had not been going too well on the East Islands because it was only welcomed by locals and some
foreign businessmen.
But in recent years, because of The Serpents‘ arrogance and dominance, many businessmen realized that their
businesses‘ earnings were becoming sluggish and had left the East Islands long ago. If that were not the case, they
would most probably have been bribed by Fabio‘s men into setting up their businesses in Fabios‘s territory. The East
Gate Clubhouse had been losing money all this while. Beverages were being sold at a huge discount to attract
customers from other places, and they were ordering three times more liquor than they usually did. This was a
problem in itself.
The employee got a little nervous and did not know how to answer. “Mahina.” Cameron summoned the female
bodyguard standing behind her. The female bodyguard, whose name was Mahina, stepped forward. “Mr. Southern.”
She lifted her gaze. “Bring a few men onto the cargo ship with you and inspect all the containers on the ship. Don‘t
miss any of them.”

The staff hurriedly explained, “Mr. Southern, the truth is, Mr. Puzo has monopolized all the liquor merchants who
imported wine and liquor to the island. The East Gate Clubhouse obtained these goods through the wholesaler at
twice the price.” Cameron‘s expression dimmed instantly. “Are you idiots?” She stood up abruptly and walked up to
the staff. “Why didn‘t you tell us about Fabio‘s monopoly of all the liquor wholesalers?”
The employee lowered his head and explained, “We didn‘t have the time to report it to you last month. Mr. Puzo‘s
men just bought all the liquor from the clubhouse out of the blue. The boss didn‘t take it seriously at first because,
after all, they did pay us fair and square. “However, Mr. Puzo‘s men concealed the news about the monopoly from
the boss, so when the boss had to buy wine and liquor for the club a few days ago, that was when we found out that
it‘s been monopolized.
“The wholesaler asked the boss to pay twice the price to get the beverage supplies, so the boss planned to
purchase the goods first, but he would bring this matter up to Mr. Southern Sr. when the time came.”
Cameron scoffed. “Fabio intends to start his invasion from the liquor suppliers of the clubhouses in the Southern
Clan territories. You knew about this issue and chose not to report it to us. You deserve to lose money.”
