Peter Brown was impressed by Jessamine Armstrong's intelligence. He understood her intentions; she was aware of her capabilities and knew that the only way to tie herself to the interests of the stone factory was through a shareholding system. Only in this way could the factory receive orders with her connections.
Since Peter understood her intentions, he chose not to mention the issue of shares anymore and to help Chase White. The couple's business operation did not concern him, and he didn't care much about the profits of the stone factory.
Jessamine initially mentioned that her parents wished to invite Peter to dinner, but he declined, making the excuse that Mayor Taylor needed to consult with him on an issue before returning to Flower Creek Village.
After seeing the couple off, Peter watched Jessamine drive away in her new car and Chase's happy face, feeling comforted. He believed he had repaid his debt to them in this way.
