After they settled down with their new home, Helen finally regained favonovel.com smile as favonovel.com held the property certificate with favonovel.com name on it. However, James was still wearing a gloomy expression.
“Matthew, be honest with me, how much did this house cost?”
He had an idea about the housing prices in the southern district. A house like this would definitely cost an arm and a leg.
Matthew merely smiled and shook his head at that question. “Dad, don’t worry about it. It’s a gift from Master Bane. I didn’t spend a single cent on it.”
James, knowing that this matter was done by the Banes Family, didn’t question any further. However, their peaceful life didn’t last long.
The manager in charge of running the breakfast shop suddenly called.
“Boss, it’s bad over here. A group of people came and said that our shop is infringing on their rights. They’re trying to put us out of business.”
By the time Matthew and his family arrived, the entrance of S&L’s Breakfast was already crowded with throngs.
It was a mess. Everything was smashed and scattered all over the place.
The cause of the trouble was none other than Yann. He couldn’t mask the anger in his eyes upon their arrival.
“Now that the main characters are here, let’s discuss the matter at hand.” He handed over a lawsuit document.
James and Helen perused the content and panicked. The moment the Cunningham Family received the secret recipes, they established a company legally with those recipes and obtained the patent rights.
No one knew about that.
If they were forced to comply with the terms in the lawsuit, not only would their shop be put out of business, but they would also have to pay a huge amount of compensation.
“Yann Cunningham, do you have to be this ruthless?” James growled while staring at the other party.
Yann’s face darkened. “Ruthless? We are just doing business. Since the patent and trademark for the recipes are registered by our family, it’s only natural that we take action by law. You stole our secret recipes and openly operate a business with them. How could we just let this slide?”
The onlookers had an inkling of the situation.
“So, they stole someone else’s secret recipe. No wonder their menu is so cheap!”
“I was wondering too. Why is there such a big price difference for the same food?”
Amidst these discussions, there were opposing opinions as well.
“Isn’t it better to buy it cheaper?”
However, as soon as this opinion came out, it was instantly drowned out by other viewpoints.
“The price is one thing, but it is nutritional food. Who knows if there’s any problem with the recipe stolen from others? What if it is fatal?”
The onlookers nodded in agreement.
“You’re right. Just thinking about it is scary. It’s better to seal the shop early, even if it means spending more money.”
The gushing added fuel to the fire as James’s face turned crimson due to anger. Just as favonovel.com was about to argue back, Matthew patted his arm in an attempt to calm favonovel.com down.
“Yann, since you claim that it is your family’s secret recipe, then why did S&L’s Breakfast open two months earlier? Could it be that your Cunningham family is short of money and can’t even afford to open a shop?”
Yann’s face fell at that. Although favonovel.com was anxious about his father’s order, favonovel.com was eager to avenge his son. Hence, favonovel.com impulsively brought people along to S&L’s Breakfast.
Now that Matthew laid out the fatal questions, favonovel.com had no choice but to act brazenly. “Hmph! We’re different from you! We don’t disregard people’s health just to make money. We have been perfecting the secret recipe all the while. We made sure that it was perfect before releasing it on the market.”
