At first, Joseph didn’t know what had happened and couldn’t figure out the cause after thinking about it for a while.
Later, Jalen called the family home, and through the phone call, they learned about the incident at Flower Creek Restaurant.
"You offended someone from a restaurant called Flower Creek Fragrance Restaurant?"
Hearing his father’s inquiry, Joseph finally remembered the incident.
"Tell me what happened!"
Jalen was extremely angry; it was a major taboo for people like them to offend others without knowing it.
After asking Joseph several questions, Jalen found out that the incident was caused by Joseph targeting a restaurant called Flower Creek Fragrance.
"Dad, how was I supposed to know that the restaurant had some connections? I only knew that it was protected by Edward Martin. Since he and I don’t get along, I said I would take care of that restaurant."
Jalen pointed at his son and said solemnly, "The Thompson Family can rise to power this time, and you think it’s just a coincidence? I’ve told you to be careful, but instead, you’ve brought me such big trouble."
Thinking about the matter that the family called to discuss, Jalen became anxious. If this matter was not handled well, it could turn into a big problem.
"Dad, what should we do now? I didn’t really do anything. All I did was send a tax inspection today."
"You didn’t do anything? If you had, the problem would be even bigger. You should immediately apologize to them."
At this point, Jalen said, "Tomorrow, you should take your friends with you, arrange a few tables, and invite all the necessary people. Show them that you support that restaurant and make it clear to everyone that you have a good relationship with them. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand, I understand. I didn’t expect that the restaurant would be the key!"
Joseph couldn’t help but sigh. He had thought that the woman in the restaurant protected by Edward Martin was Edward’s woman, but now he realized that Edward was just helping someone else look after the place.
Joseph murmured to himself, "I really didn’t expect that the power behind the Thompson Family would be hidden in this small restaurant. I really misjudged the situation!"
"I’ll call Peter now."
Jalen didn’t dare to neglect the patriarch’s instructions, so he picked up the phone and started dialing.
Peter didn’t know about the incident in the Smith Family, nor did he expect his influence to be so high in certain circles.
Just as he and Heidi entered the room, Jalen’s call came.
"I’m Jalen Smith. I suppose you know who I am?" Jalen spoke in a very friendly manner.
"Hello, Uncle Smith."
"Ah, it’s all my fault for not disciplining my son properly. I just found out about Joseph’s incident and I want to apologize to you. I have just scolded him and told him to make sure to apologize to you." Jalen showed great respect to Peter by speaking that way to a mere farmer.
Peter didn’t have any excessive thoughts about it and seeing the other party’s attitude, he chatted nicely with Jalen for a while.
The two talked for a good while, with Jalen being very friendly and even inviting Peter to his home for dinner.
After their conversation, Peter looked at Heidi and said, "Alright, Joseph’s matter is settled."
Heidi was still very concerned about the restaurant and asked, "What did he say?"
"Tomorrow, Joseph will host a banquet here to show his support for the restaurant. You just need to show up and socialize with them."
Heidi happily said, "If that’s the case, then that’s great."
They had just talked for a while when Peter heard his cell phone ring again. He frowned, thinking that there were so many things going on today. He hesitated to answer, but when he saw the caller ID, he knew he had to take the call. It was from Phoenix Taylor.
Peter didn’t want Heidi to hear this conversation, so he said to her, "There’s a lot going on, so I’ll go deal with it and won’t stay here."
"You go and take care of your things." Knowing that Peter was very mysterious, Heidi showed a gentle demeanor.
Watching Peter Brown’s car leave, Heidi Jones’s gentle demeanor changed. Stomping her foot, she said, "That little brat, seducing me and then taking off!"
However, the corner of Heidi’s mouth also revealed a smile. Today, she finally got confirmation from Peter, and now she could also claim to have a man in her life.
Once in her room, she took off all her clothes and entered the bathroom. Looking at herself in the mirror, she muttered, "Finally, I’m evolving from a girl to a young married woman!"
Peter didn’t bother with Heidi’s affairs. After driving for a while, he called Phoenix Taylor back and said, "You tell me, what’s going on?"
"Peter, the Thompson Family from the west sent people."
Although he knew the other party would definitely send people, Peter was still slightly shocked when he heard they had arrived.
Wanting to ask about the cultivation status of the other party, Peter knew that Phoenix wasn’t a cultivator herself, and inquiring would be pointless, so he simply didn’t ask.
"What kind of people are there?"
"Two middle-aged-looking men. As soon as they arrived, they went to inspect the corpse."
Peter nodded inwardly, thinking that these two men must not be weak.
"By the way, I think I heard them mention you. The head guy knows what you look like."
"Mentioned me?" Peter was even more surprised.
However, Peter soon realized that even the Smith Family could know about him; how could the Thompson Family, with their many years of inheritance, not know? If they didn’t know before, it would be strange if they still didn’t know now.
After giving Phoenix a few instructions, Peter felt that he was stretched thin.
After considering it, Peter called the principal and said he had something to deal with, so he needed to take a leave.
Ahmad Carter accepted Peter’s call and agreed without any issue, even clearly stating that Peter could take as much time off as he wanted.
After asking for leave, Peter found a secluded place without surveillance, took out the SUV, and headed towards the city.
Now, Peter had no interest in studying. For him, he needed to deal with the Thompson Family’s issue first.
When the car entered the city, Peter called Phoenix again.
"Where are they staying?"
Hearing that Peter was coming over, Phoenix hurriedly offered to pick him up.
"Just tell me their address."
Peter didn’t say much and immediately headed there after getting the address.
What surprised Peter was that the two men were not staying in a hotel, but in a large villa in the city.
This must be Edward Martin’s house!
Seeing the situation of this villa, Peter thought that Henry Martin and company had already met the two Thompson Family members.
As soon as he arrived, Peter looked around and noticed a formation surrounding the villa.
Having set up a formation so hastily demonstrated that these visitors were not ordinary people.
Peter considered it and decided it would be best to go in and see their true purpose. He carefully approached the formation.
This was a Small Five Element Maze Formation, which wasn’t enough to stop Peter.
Soon, Peter had entered the formation.
Perhaps the two men were confident in their abilities, as the place was spacious yet only they lived there.
