Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Chapter 489: Chapter 489: Coughing Up Blood Out of Anger because of Cindy Clarke (2 chapters combined)

So, was Cindy Clarke going to let it go?

But, looking at Cindy’s attitude in the last competition, that didn’t seem like her personality.

Then, they heard Cindy say: “Because of this competition, I’ll directly eliminate her. No need to wait for the results.”

“Of course, if the results show that Iris Doone was wronged by me, then I’ll still withdraw from the race to express my apology,” said Cindy.

Her words instantly choked off anything Iris was about to say.

Making it impossible for Iris to voice any of her thoughts.

“Iris Doone, do you have any objections to this?” Wesley Gordon asked Iris again.

Any objections?

Of course!

She didn’t want to check those videos!

But Cindy had said everything she could say.

By strength, Cindy could eliminate her.

If the video couldn’t provide evidence after checking, Cindy would apologize and withdraw from the race.

Which was the same as what they said before.

They don’t even have to wait for her to bring up the conditions; Cindy took the initiative to propose withdrawal.

Regardless of the possibility, Cindy has already said the outcome.

If she doesn’t agree now, wouldn’t it clearly tell others that she’s afraid and dares not to?

Now, Wesley Gordon asked Iris if she had any objections.

Of course, Iris did, but did she dare to say it?

She didn’t dare!

All Iris could do was to keep the bitterness to herself.

Finally, the matter was temporarily resolved.

“Now, let the competition continue,” said Wesley Gordon.

Then, they hurried back to the front of the stage.

Cindy and Iris, with their chosen ingredients, rushed to their cooking stations.

There was no unified start time for cooking this time.

Whoever got their ingredients first and went back to their cooking station could start cooking directly.

Cindy was one of the first to return to her cooking station so she promptly began preparing her dish in an orderly manner.

It didn’t take long for Iris to rush back as well.

Iris’ cooking station was right next to Cindy’s.

The two faced each other as they prepared their dishes, as did the other teams.

This made it seem like a fierce face-off when enemies encountered each other.

When Iris came over, she glared at Cindy resentfully for a while.

It wasn’t until the camera panned over that Iris immediately questioned Cindy, “Cindy, why are you targeting me like this? Let’s talk with our performance in the competition, why do you have to add things outside of the competition!”

Cindy glanced at her indifferently and laughed disdainfully: “Then why don’t you focus on the competition and wait for the results after the race. Don’t wait for the camera to cut over before saying these words.”

What was she doing earlier?

Why not say it earlier or later, but only at this moment?

Did she really think Cindy didn’t see it?

It was hard to tell if Iris was truly deluded, self-smart, or if she really thought everyone else was a fool and not as clever as her.

Not even noticing such a small trick.

Iris felt like spitting blood at Cindy’s words.

Iris had never met someone like Cindy before!

No matter if you played dirty or open tricks with her, Cindy could always drag your plans out into the open and make them above board.

Cindy’s response was always simple and straightforward.

Dragging you into the open to face off directly, leaving you no chance to hide in the dark and plot anything.

Iris didn’t know whether Cindy was clever or foolish.

Wasn’t Cindy afraid of facing off in front of everyone, failing and humiliating herself?

Iris naturally wasn’t the first time she’d targeted someone stealthily.

Otherwise, how could she have such smooth and ready-to-use techniques?

It was her experience from targeting people stealthily that made her so skilled.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say it came as naturally as picking up a pen.

Iris had never encountered a reaction like Cindy’s in those she had secretly targeted before.

Just like this time, when the camera suddenly panned over, Iris took the opportunity to speak and frame her opponent.

The opponent had a mouth but couldn’t explain it clearly.

How could this kind of thing be explained?

Moreover, such a sudden move in the moment, it really might not have been immediately responsive.

Thinking about it afterward, one might regret not having responded better in the moment.

But at that moment, their minds would have been baffled, and no one could react that quickly.

Who would have thought that Cindy would counter directly and expose her plot?

No matter whether Iris intended to be calculating or not, Cindy had already said it.

Iris was a bit panicked and worried.

She thought she had indeed calculated to take advantage of the camera’s focus change, but what if she hadn’t and it was just a coincidence that the camera pointed to her?

As a result, over Cindy’s words, she wouldn’t be able to clear her name, would she?

Iris was bothered and frightened inside.

It may not have happened now, but what about such situations in the future?

“I didn’t,” Iris quickly denied.

However, after Cindy spoke, many audience members already thought Iris was playing mind games.

Otherwise, why didn’t Iris talk to Cindy when she brought the ingredients over earlier?

Why only wait until the camera came over to speak?

Unfortunately, Iris had no chance to explain further.

She had only managed to utter the three words “I didn’t” before the camera moved on to capture other contestants.

Cindy was meticulously following the recipe she had designed at home, cooking without any disruptions.

However, when Iris was handling the ingredients, she hesitated when it came to the shark fin.

Initially, she had been very confident about the dish she’d designed.

She even named the dish, Soup of Abundance.

This dish was her own creation and not commonly found in any recipes.

No such dish existed in the restaurant.

Iris was very pleased with herself, thinking she’d dazzle the competition.

Who knew that Cindy would first expose the sabotage of ingredients, drawing everyone’s attention to the matter?

Then, Cindy said that using shark fin was cruel and immoral.

Cindy had said so much; how could Iris use it now?

If she continued to use it, wouldn’t it appear that her character was flawed?

Fully aware that shark fin wouldn’t play a significant role in nutrition or seasoning, yet continuing to use it, wouldn’t she be cursed to death?

However, when Iris designed the dish earlier, shark fin played an essential role in the presentation.

Without shark fin, the presentation would be lacking.

Because of the criticism that she had imitated Cindy in the previous round, Iris was determined to impress everyone on the Racecourse this time.

She was initially very confident, but now Cindy had disrupted all her plans!

Iris hesitated, but the competition time didn’t wait for anyone.

After thinking about it, Iris ultimately decided to give up on shark fin.

Since Cindy had said so much, if she continued to insist on using it, people would undoubtedly scold her.

Moreover, when Cindy expressed her opinions, it was clear that the judges also agreed with her view.
