Chapter 180: Chapter 180: 180: Undercurrents_1

Adrian Wright was startled when he heard the news and pondered for a while before speaking somewhat helplessly,

“I don’t have much contact with Wallace Carter and his crowd. Let me ask my dad and see if he knows him.”

Greg Jensen thought for a moment and then said, “How about this, don’t bother making peace for the time being. Just find the Carter family’s residence for me, and I’ll bring a gift and pay them a visit tonight.”

“That sounds good.”

Hearing that Greg Jensen intended to apologize in person, Adrian Wright mused, “Even though there isn’t a mediator to help reconcile, showing up in person immediately does show sincerity.

Wallace Carter is also starting to change his ways; he probably won’t make things worse.”

“Yeah, there shouldn’t be a problem,” Spencer Burley added.

Greg Jensen chuckled inwardly. If the two of them knew that he had crippled both of Winston Carter’s legs, they probably wouldn’t be saying that.

The news that the Carter brothers had been beaten spread rapidly, and all the young, wealthy people in Jamae City were shocked.

“Have you heard? Wallace Carter’s son was beaten up.”

“Damn, who’s got the guts to mess with Wallace Carter’s son?”

“I don’t know, but I heard the surname is Jensen!”

“Jensen? He’s not from Jamae City, right? I’ve never heard of any big shot with the last name Jensen around here?”

“Must be some brash outsider.”

“Who cares. As long as it’s not our little rascal, it’s fine.”

“Haha, just wait, there’s going to be a good show.”

Jamae City was tumultuous under the surface, everyone waiting for Wallace Carter’s retaliation, eager to see what would become of that audacious young man.

Inside Harrison’s Home Cooking, Cindy Harrison was in the office doing the accounting.

Her aunt, Judy Lampe, was sitting by her side, chatting on the phone.

After an unknown amount of time, Cindy Harrison’s face revealed a smile as she said, “Well, this month’s performance is not bad, thanks for your hard work, Auntie.”

Judy Lampe hastily looked up, smiling ingratiatingly, “Of course, of course.”

After speaking, she hurriedly lowered her head and typed furiously on her phone.

A flicker of displeasure crossed Cindy Harrison’s face as she casually asked, “What’s so funny about the chat?”

Judy Lampe anxiously looked up and said, “Cindy, you can’t tell anyone else what I’m about to tell you.

You’ve heard of Wallace Carter, right? His son was beaten up, both of his legs were broken, it was terrible.”

“Wallace Carter?”

Cindy Harrison said in shock, “The Wallace Carter from Carter Security?”

“Exactly, him,” Judy Lampe nodded.

Cindy Harrison said incredulously, “No way, who would dare mess with Mr. Carter’s son?”

“Not sure who it is yet, just heard the person’s last name might be Jensen.”

“Jensen?”

Could it be Greg Jensen?

The image of a person briefly crossed Cindy Harrison’s mind, but the absurd thought quickly made her laugh.

Greg Jensen was turned into a fool by Ethan Locke, how could it possibly be him?

Even if he wasn’t a fool, would he dare mess with Wallace Carter’s son?

It’s simply impossible!

Cindy Harrison laughed and shook her head, looking at her aunt who was still chatting. A thought suddenly struck her, and she asked, “Auntie, have you heard someone is planning to open a home cooking restaurant in the east of the city?”

“Yes, there’s such a thing.”

“Then we need to hurry with our branch.”

Cindy Harrison frowned. Her home cooking restaurant was very famous in Jamae City, almost always fully booked, with many customers needing to reserve two days in advance.

Therefore, she was planning to open another branch in East Jamae City but got wind of someone else already having made the move, reportedly even purchasing the property.

“Cindy, you don’t have to worry, their restaurant is being opened at Dreamscape Garden.”

“Dreamscape Garden?”

Cindy Harrison was stunned and said blankly, ” Why… why would someone open a private dining business in a place like that?”

Judy Lampe chuckled and said, “Who knows? Probably some fool from out of town. Finding a decoration company for a private dining business at Dreamscape Garden would be tough.

After Alfredo Harrison’s warning example, which decoration company would dare take on this project?”

“Ha ha, auntie is right.”

Cindy Harrison’s expression eased slightly as she smiled and said, “Then let’s proceed with our branch as planned.”

“Yes, I’ve already asked someone to help look for a property. We should have some results in a few days.”

“You’ve worked hard, auntie.”

Cindy Harrison’s face was full of smiles. Running the private dining business for over a year, she had earned nearly three million. Once she expanded her branches throughout Jamae City, she could achieve her dream of earning ten million a year.

Luckily she hadn’t ended up with Greg Jensen but chose Ethan Locke instead. Otherwise, she’d probably still be worrying about finding a job.

Thinking of that unfamiliar yet familiar figure, Cindy Harrison couldn’t help but curl her lip in disgust.

At Jamae Hospital, Wallace Carter watched his son being wheeled out of the operating room with a face so dark it seemed water could drip from it.

Theo Carter stood behind him with his arm in a sling, trembling and not daring to speak.

Wallace Carter suddenly turned around, his eyes fiercely glaring as he demanded, “Why wasn’t that woman brought here?”

Theo Carter’s body shook as he explained, “Dad, Vince Cooper has nothing to do with this. It’s enough that we find the guy. Why would we capture her?”

Slap!

Upon hearing his son’s words, Wallace Carter flew into a rage and slapped him, scolding:

“You fool, because of a woman, your older brother had his legs broken by someone. And you still have the face to defend that woman?”

Scared, Theo Carter fell to his knees with a thud and said with a quivering voice, “Dad, I… I was wrong.”

“Was that damn rascal found yet?”

“Got his name and phone number, still looking into the specifics. We’ll have results soon.”

Wallace Carter’s face turned to steel as he pointed at Theo Carter and was about to speak, but just then, Winston Carter woke up.

“Winston, you’re awake. How do you feel?”

Winston Carter’s expression was extremely grim as he gritted his teeth and said, “Dad, find that person. I’m going to kill him. I’m going to break his legs!”

“Good, rest assured, I’ll definitely avenge you!” Wallace Carter nodded.

Hearing his father’s words, Winston Carter’s expression softened a bit as he glanced at his younger brother and said, “This matter has nothing to do with the second brother. Stop scolding him.”

“Heh, useless thing!”

Wallace Carter coldly glanced at his youngest son and said in a grave voice, “You stay here and take good care of your brother, you hear me?”

“Heard you.” Theo Carter quickly replied.

“Winston, you focus on healing. If you need anything, have your people buy it.”

“Alright.”

After giving a couple of instructions, Wallace Carter took his men and returned to the villa.

He had just arrived home when he received a call from a close friend, “Wallace, we found the person. Seems he’s been hanging out with the Burley and Wright kids.”

“The Burley and Wright kids?”

Wallace Carter’s expression shifted and then he angrily said, “I don’t care who he is. If he dares to touch Wallace Carter’s son, I want him torn to pieces!”

“Wallace, hold your anger. Listen to me.”

The friend continued, “The kid said he’ll come by to apologize in person later. Just vent your anger then and let it go.

With the face of those two families involved, you can’t go too far.”

“Heh, alright, with the Burley and Wright families involved, we can let it go. That’s settled then. I’ll wait for him at home!”

Wallace Carter chuckled, hung up the phone, and then ordered, “Go, call all our best hands back.

If that kid dares to come, I’ll make sure he won’t leave alive!”
