Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Chapter 539: Chapter 539: Cindy Clarke’s Deep Schemes

“That’s just too smart.”

“Cindy is amazing!” There were also Cindy’s fans among the audience on site.

“Earlier when I was watching the live broadcast in the car, everyone else was fast asleep and not paying attention at all.”

“I saw Cindy leaning against her chair too, so I thought she was asleep. But it turns out that she wasn’t. She was actually listening to the sounds around her.”

“Cindy is so impressive. There’s a reason why she managed to succeed. She even noticed such tiny details. If it were me, I would be just like the other contestants; I wouldn’t have discovered anything.”

“I thought she was sleeping because she was wearing an eye mask.”

“And she got everything right. It’s clear that she really analyzed all that, and she wasn’t just talking nonsense.”

“How can her brain work so fast?”

“If her brain didn’t work fast, how could she have made a comeback in the last competition? Iris Doone even tried to sabotage her. If it were me, I would have given up already. But Cindy managed to fight back just like that.”

“Indeed, if Iris Doone simply got eliminated because of the food ingredient tampering incident, she would still have something to say. The key is that Cindy still had the skill, and she eliminated Iris Doone directly with her strength. Iris Doone had nothing to say in the end. That was really amazing.”

Listening to the ongoing discussion among the audience, Joshua Clarke felt proud and sad at the same time: “Cindy is truly amazing, I didn’t expect everyone to recognize her like this.”

Christy Xenos snorted and said, “You’re an idiot, aren’t you?”

Seeing Joshua Clarke looking at her, Christy Xenos continued, “Doesn’t this just prove that Cindy is very capable and has been doing well in Belfard? And she’s been hiding her talent when she was still at home!”

“What do you mean?” Joshua Clarke said unhappily, “Cindy being smart is a good thing. People compete fiercely in Belfard, and it’s better to have some abilities than not. We should be happy for her that she can make a name for herself. Why did you bring up what happened at home?”

“Are you stupid? Look at how capable she is now. Why didn’t she try to help our family’s restaurant become bigger and stronger back then?” Christy Xenos said.

“Our family’s small restaurant was barely enough to make ends meet back then. It was such a tough time for us. Cindy didn’t help at all, she just watched.”

Christy Xenos got angry just thinking about it.

Finally, there was a chance for Cindy to help, but she ran away!

She just couldn’t bear to see her family prosper!

Joshua Clarke hesitated for a moment and then spoke up for Cindy: “She was still in school back then. What could she have done? Besides, maybe she has become smarter and more capable after spending these years in Belfard and going through so many experiences.”

Christy Xenos snorted, “You believe that? If she were a fool, no amount of experience would have made her smart!”

“Have you ever heard of a person whose brain wasn’t so sharp, suddenly becoming so astute after a few years, as if she turned into a completely different person?” Christy pointed at the big screen, “Moreover, this isn’t just simple intelligence we’re talking about! Cindy is meticulous, clever, resourceful, and good at analyzing.”

“The other contestants aren’t fools either. A fool wouldn’t have made it this far. But Cindy discovered what others didn’t.” Christy Xenos said, “You’re telling me that she could have developed such a mind through experience? Then why don’t the others have it after going through the same experiences?”

“And the last competition, you heard it too. Even the audience said that. If it were them, they would have been dumbstruck. They might have thought of a solution afterward, but they wouldn’t have been able to respond in the heat of the moment.”

“This kind of quick thinking and fast response isn’t something that can be trained. If it were, everyone would be smart, and there wouldn’t be any survival of the fittest,” Christy Xenos said, but she didn’t forget to lower her voice, afraid of others hearing her.

“Especially in the workplace, if everyone could succeed, who would be eliminated?” Christy Xenos sneered, “You really believe what you said about her learning and growing through experience.”

“To put it more bluntly, since Zoe Silverstone isn’t here, I can say this without her hearing me.” Christy Xenos continued, “As an internet celebrity, Zoe Silverstone has been in Belfard for much longer than Cindy. Is she stupid? She certainly isn’t. But in the end? She still lost to Cindy, in both cooking and intelligence.”

“Are you still defending Cindy?” Christy Xenos rolled her eyes, “You’re siding with her so much, but she hasn’t shown you any filial piety.”

“In my opinion, this child has been hiding her talent since she was little. We’re all family, and we’re her real parents, but she still hides herself and keeps a low-profile. She doesn’t let us see her true abilities or help you out to improve our living conditions.”

Joshua Clarke’s lips moved, and he suddenly thought of Cindy’s absolute taste.

Cindy has had this gift since she was little.

He still remembered that he discovered her talent when she was seven years old.

That was when he noticed the difference.

But Cindy herself must have discovered it even earlier.

She was only seven at the time!

What kind of mind did she have when she found out about her gift back then but didn’t tell anyone?

He thought of Christy Xenos’s words just now and had to admit that she was right.

Cindy had been hiding her talent, not becoming smart as a result of her experiences.

Joshua Clarke stopped arguing.

Christy Xenos seized the opportunity to add, “Everything our family has now is provided by Cindy. Don’t forget. Don’t get confused when you see her. You can’t be biased towards her just because she talks to you a few times.”

“Just remember the fact that she hasn’t contacted you for five years. You can’t be confused about that,” Christy Xenos reminded him.

Joshua Clarke nodded, “I’ll remember.”

“So, you suspect…” Yannick O’Brian quickly understood and guessed Cindy’s suspicions.
