Unexpectedly, starting a health wine factory for everyone’s better life would cause so many issues.
Seeing that his family seemed burdened, Peter Brown became even more upset.
"Mom and Dad, I’ll handle this matter. It’s not a big deal."
"Peter, let it go. Our life now is so much better than before, and we have more than enough money. That woman has powerful connections in the provincial government, and we can’t afford to mess with her. Let’s just try to negotiate nicely, and if that doesn’t work, we might as well let her have it."
Even though Raven Walter was reluctant, he still tried to persuade. For a family like theirs, the power behind Phoenix Taylor was too great, and they couldn’t muster the strength to resist.
"Yeah, Peter, that woman has a lot of influence. Many officials come and are careful not to offend her. We can’t provoke her anymore. The key to the wine factory is the recipe, and since your dad has handed over the recipe, we have no way to restrict her. Let’s see if we can get your investment back. If we can, let’s just pull out. We don’t have to continue doing this."
Peter’s mother looked quite helpless.
Quinn Walker did not speak when she looked at Peter at this time, but she clenched her fists, looking extremely angry.
"Brother, I think that woman must already have the patent. What can we use to fight her? If we annoy her, she might just go to some other place and open another similar wine factory. With her current capabilities, our factory will be in danger. If that happens, we wouldn’t even be able to produce wine."
Kate Brown also expressed her concern.
"I’ve said it before, I’ll handle this. It’s not a big deal."
Peter smiled, not really taking it seriously.
Of course, Peter had confidence in dealing with this. If the woman didn’t go too far, he had plenty of ways to deal with her.
After dinner, Liza Smith said to Quinn Walker, "Quinn, go rest with Peter."
Peter looked at Quinn, and she agreed, appearing very gentle.
Since their relationship had progressed, Quinn regarded Peter even more as her man.
Arriving at Flynn Kingston’s Residence, Quinn asked, "Peter, do you want to take a bath? I’ll prepare the water for you."
It seemed like her relationship with Peter’s mother was good, and his mother already considered her to be her daughter-in-law.
"We can hold off on that for now. I feel like there’s something you haven’t told us yet. Let’s sit down and talk."
Quinn hummed in agreement, then sat down.
Peter looked at Quinn seriously under the light. He saw that she had changed from her previous innocent appearance, now appearing more mature. After experiencing some hardship, she seemed to be growing up, exuding a charming and mature aura.
The girl was growing more mature!
Peter could only marvel at how quickly girls matured.
"Peter, actually, I’ve secretly figured out that Phoenix has already registered a health wine factory in Bright East County. The CFO there was brought in by her, and almost all of the funds have been transferred to that company. I’m afraid that she’ll take everyone away once that company is well established, leaving behind an empty shell company. By that time, the patent will be in her hands, and we won’t even be able to produce wine if we want to."
"Peter, I didn’t protect the company for you."
Peter sighed, "You’re not to blame. That woman knows too many tricks. It’s normal that you guys can’t compete with her. I was too trusting of her too."
"Peter, what should we do now? If she really takes away all the technology and personnel, our company will be completely finished, and your investment will have been wasted."
Peter smiled, "Don’t worry. Nobody has managed to take advantage of Peter Brown yet."
At this point, Peter took out his cell phone and called Edward Martin.
When Edward Martin received the call from Peter, he happily asked, "Peter, are you there?"
"Edward, let me ask you something. How much do you know about Phoenix Taylor and what she’s been doing?"
"What’s going on? My dad’s recent trouble has had our whole family worried. We’ve been in the provincial capital, and I don’t know what’s happening."
"Good, that you don’t know!"
When Peter heard Edward say that he didn’t know, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. If Henry Martin was backing Phoenix Taylor as well, it would take more effort to handle the situation. Without their involvement, dealing with this woman wouldn’t be too difficult.
After hanging up the phone with Peter, Edward was startled and absentmindedly held his cell phone, sensing that there must be trouble.
No, he must find out the truth!
After realizing what Peter was capable of, Edward became increasingly worried. He called Briar Henderson.
"Briar, do you know anything about my cousin’s activities?"
Briar said, "I don’t know. What happened?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to ask."
After hearing Briar’s ignorance, Edward became even more restless.
After some thought, Edward made several more calls. A deputy mayor from the city then smiled, "Edward, your cousin is doing well. She recently set up a large medicinal plant farm in our Bright East County, and she registered a health product wine factory as well. It is said to produce a kind of health wine. Don’t worry, we will definitely support it."
Edward’s heart grew cold as ice as he asked more questions. Then he hurriedly dialed Phoenix Taylor’s number.
"Cousin, why did you register a company on your own without consulting us? And it’s a health wine factory too!"
Phoenix laughed and replied, "It’s not a big deal. Don’t worry. You guys’ shares won’t change here. You don’t have to invest any money or anything. Plus, your shares and Briar’s shares will be doubled by me. It’s just a health product wine, right? As long as we have the technology and the formula, others can’t compete with us. Doing it ourselves is much better than working for someone else. In the provincial government, we have their support. I’ll find a bank to lend us some money, and we can all chip in. I’ve got the patent, and I’ll give your mother hidden equity and dividends. We don’t need to work for a lowly farmer! Hmph, who does Phoenix Taylor look like to them? They want me to work but only give me such a small share. I won’t work with them anymore! If he already knows, then I might as well play my cards."
Sweating and trembling, Edward yelled, "You bastard!"
Edward knew that big trouble was ahead. He hurriedly called his father after cursing.
