Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 1268
Chapter 1268: Chapter 1268: Completely Stunned_1 Chapter 1268 -1268: Completely Stunned_1 He is hanging out with Wendy Clarke, even a fool would know his intentions.
“Since there is a suspect, start the investigation.
Don’t wait until those people are released.” Old Master said, “With your abilities, you’d likely have investigated everything before they are released.”
Old Master promised Adrian Zhekova, “If it’s proved to be him, anyone who dares to harm their own family, no one can plead for him.
Even if we can’t expel him from the Zhekova Family, we can expel him from all the companies under the Zhekova Family.”
Expelling him would be equivalent to kicking Ethan Zhekova out of the core circle.
Ethan Zhekova was dreaming of replacing Adrian Zhekova.
Now, he was kicked out of all the companies directly, if he can’t work in any of the Zhekova’s companies, what hope does he have?
Not to mention Ethan Zhekova, even Gabriel Zhekova has no hope.
...
Gabriel Zhekova was relying on Ethan Zhekova.
If Ethan Zhekova couldn’t make it, given Gabriel Zhekova’s age, even if he was still vigorous in old age, it would be too late for him to have another child.
Having received the guarantee from Old Master, Adrian Zhekova didn’t hesitate and immediately started the investigation, not even caring that they were still eating.
Only after he had finished all his work did he come back to keep company during the meal.

Adrian Zhekova started his investigation on Wendy Clarke and Ethan Zhekova.
Meanwhile, Cindy Clarke’s competition also progressed orderly.
The representatives from each country going for a challenge couldn’t just select any team at will.
Otherwise, everyone would target the weaker teams for challenge, and by the time the major competition was over, the challenge games for the weaker teams would probably still be queuing.
So, the major competition had its restrictions.
A defensive team could only accept a maximum of 10 challenges.
And the order of offensive teams choosing, was in accordance with the ranking of the last International Culinary Competition, in descending order.
Getting the first place as priority choice.
In this way, if a defensive team has filled its 10 spots.
Then the teams behind can’t choose this team anymore and can only choose other teams.
However, weaker teams were not vied by everyone.
Strong teams wouldn’t stoop to challenge weak teams.
Even if they earned the badges, it seemed like victory without merit, and damaged the reputation of their own strong teams.
Take Indian Triad for example, although the character of the instructors to the team members was questionable, as a famous food country, Indian Triad’s cuisine level was strong.
Their challenge towards Hearth Nation was not only due to being historical rivals, but also because of their confidence and pride.
Therefore, strong teams mostly chose teams they were somewhat confident about, but not too weak.
But like Hearth Nation, its power was too strong, so the number of strong teams daring to challenge was not that much.
Just a few in total.
The rest, with average levels, first targeted weaker teams, making sure the number of badges was enough to qualify for the final competition.
As a result, weaker teams were chosen early, like the strong teams in Hearth Nation.
Except for the teams with great confidence or historical grudges.
Medium strength teams dared not challenge, they all went to challenge weaker teams.
And weaker teams didn’t have the priority to choose, by the time their turn came, weaker teams had all been chosen.
Only the powerhouse-like Hearth Nation was left.
Hence, the following games for Cindy Clarke and their team, several of the challenge difficulties were not high, could even be described as relaxing.
Even Wesley Gordon, just randomly selected three people to compete.
All ten contestants were alternately participating in the competition, almost everyone had their turns twice or thrice, and even won beautifully.
But even the weaker teams could feel that the strength of Hearth Nation’s defensive team has greatly increased this year.
Weaker teams couldn’t be like the strong teams, having that many contestant resources.
Everyone has to compete for quotas every year, so the contestants are different every year.
Yet with the weaker teams, there was a situation where some contestants would participate for several terms as long as they were within the valid age range.

From team instructors to contestants, everyone was familiar with the standard of Hearth Nation’s past teams.
So, they had a clearer experience of how strong even the defensive team of the Hearth Nation was this year.
The strength of the offensive team, they dared not even imagine!
And Adrian Zhekova found out about Wendy Clarke before the group who previously attacked Cindy Clarke and Morgan Zhekova were released.
Unfortunately, even though Ethan Zhekova was naive, he was careful in this matter.
He didn’t get his hands dirty, or perhaps the point where he would get involved in hasn’t been reached yet.
So after all the investigation, only Wendy Clarke could be implicated.
There was no sign of Ethan Zhekova at all.
Without evidence of Ethan Zhekova’s involvement in this matter, they could do nothing to him.
This caused Adrian Zhekova’s frustration.
Although as long as Ethan Zhekova doesn’t give up, his wrongdoings would eventually be discovered.
However, this made Cindy Clarke and Morgan Zhekova more vulnerable.
Since for the time being they couldn’t do anything to Ethan Zhekova, Adrian Zhekova vented all his anger on Wendy Clarke.
Wendy Clarke’s restaurant was shut down.
Wendy Clarke herself was in a daze, because it was discovered that the kitchen of her restaurant was unclean.
Not only were there rats and roaches, the silverware had an over-standard level of Salmonella, the restaurant’s fire safety wasn’t up to standard, and so on.
Every possible problem there could be, occurred.
Wendy Clarke was completely dazed.
When she was preparing the restaurant, she hadn’t thoroughly detailed everything, there were omissions.
Because Ethan Zhekova had helped.
All the documents and permits were issued smoothly.
But Wendy Clarke had also confirmed the restaurant’s facilities.
Even if these permits were issued smoothly, she didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble.
So the facilities in her restaurant were all up to standard.
The restaurant wanted to walk the high-end route, and the most basic requirements were cleanliness and elegance.
Customers absolutely couldn’t feel discomfort.
Therefore, Wendy Clarke had some confidence in the hygiene of the restaurant.
But in this situation where she had no warning, these non-compliant issues suddenly stormed her.
Without any warning, even the time between each incident did not give her calm.
One incident occurred after another.
She didn’t have any time or psychological preparation.
The inspection occurred for two consecutive days, then on the third day, her restaurant was suddenly closed down.
Wendy Clarke’s mind was a total mess.
She immediately found Ethan Zhekova.
But Ethan Zhekova couldn’t do anything.
“I’ve asked, they will all follow the rules and refuse to bend.” Ethan Zhekova said.
“How could it be?” Wendy Clarke couldn’t understand, “When the permits were issued at that time, they didn’t follow the rules.”
They just went through the motions.
“Now suddenly they want to follow the rules?” Wendy Clarke’s eyes seemed to say, was it because Ethan Zhekova was incompetent?
Was his prestige not sufficient?
Why did these people not even give him face?
“I’ve already helped you a lot.” Ethan Zhekova said in anger and embarrassment.
