Chapter 546: Chapter 546: Let Her Choose

“I trust their character,” Ava Brown said, “They won’t give you high scores just because you’re Master Adrian.”

“So, I believe your score is genuine,” Ava Brown said.

“But I want to ask, Zoe Silverstone, Iris Doone and Blake Walker have all doubted your relationship with Master Adrian. You did not withdraw from the competition because of this and insisted on competing,” Ava Brown said.

“Why now that Yellen Brooks and I know, you say you can withdraw from the competition?” Ava Brown asked.

So that’s the question.

Cindy Clarke smiled and said, “Because I don’t want to fulfill their wishes.”

“They have no real skills, but they resort to shady tactics and underhanded means. Why should I withdraw as they wish?” Cindy explained.

“But it’s different with you two. If you also feel the same way, I don’t need to stay,” said Cindy.

“I won’t tell Blake Walker,” Yellen Brooks interjected.

It took a few seconds for Cindy to understand the meaning behind Yellen’s words.

Cindy couldn’t help but laugh.

Ava Brown also said, “There’s no need to withdraw. You just gave us such an important analysis, and you’re not taking the obvious advantage. We’re not concerned about favoritism or unfairness.”

“I won’t say anything to Blake Walker either,” said Ava Brown. “However, I may secretly tell our people at Pingla Corp. Such gossip, if I don’t share it, it would be hard to keep. They won’t say anything. You can trust them.”

“I know,” Cindy nodded with a smile.

After interacting with those people, Cindy discovered that they were quite foolish.

There really was nothing untrustworthy about those fools.

“Moreover, they won’t feel it’s unfair,” Ava Brown continued. “Those people have confidence in their abilities and feel they can crush any predetermined outcomes.”

With a sigh, Yellen Brooks said, “Cindy’s problem is no problem. I think our main issue is to slaughter the chicken first.”

“Do you need help?” asked Cindy.

She had already tried once and figured her method might be better than Yellen Brooks and Ava Brown’s.

Although she couldn’t do it all by herself, she could still help them.

“No need, no need,” said Ava Brown. “You did it yourself, I can too.”

Ava Brown took the chicken and walked a bit farther away.

She estimated that her actions would be quite clumsy.

Taking a deep breath, Yellen Brooks said, “I… I think I can do it too.”

Seeing this, Cindy took her chicken to pluck its feathers.

Having overcome the hardest part, there would be some challenges in finishing the job, but at least they could manage to stay calm.

After plucking the feathers, they looked for water.

The organizers even provided an artificial stream.

It was small and short and was probably just for the contestants to use temporarily.

Cindy cleaned her chicken and her hands.

Then, she began to figure out how to cook it.

Meanwhile, Adrian Zhekova returned to his seat.

“Don’t have such a terrifying round next time!” Adrian reminded the competition organizers.

Everyone hurriedly agreed.

With that, Adrian returned to his seat.

“How is Cindy doing?” the Old Madam asked immediately.

“By the time I arrived, she had already killed the chicken herself. She just lacked experience, so it was more difficult for her to do it. That’s why she was even more frightened,” Adrian said truthfully.

“Did Cindy cry?” Victoria Wheeler quickly asked.

“No, she was holding it in,” Adrian sighed.

As soon as Adrian finished sighing, Morgan Zhekova sighed beside him.

“Ah! Cindy is always like this, always holding back her tears,” Morgan shook his head with a pitying look, like a little old man.

“It seems that she is even more reluctant to cry in front of me,” Adrian said helplessly.

If only Cindy could vent her emotions in front of him.

“After she adjusted herself, I came back,” Adrian said.

“This child, how can she bear so much?” The Old Madam shook her head. “If she really can’t do it, she should just withdraw. We have all seen her skills.”

“Besides, our family doesn’t need her to work so hard,” the Old Madam continued. “I’ll talk to her when I get a chance. If she withdraws, she can choose any of the Restaurants under Pingla Corp. If she doesn’t like any of them, we can open a new one according to her preferences.”

“With Pingla’s promotion and Cindy’s skills, the restaurant is bound to succeed,” the Old Madam said.

“I’ve told her the same thing,” Adrian said. “She has promised me not to push herself too hard. If she encounters any insurmountable obstacles, she won’t force herself.”

“That’s good. That’s good,” the Old Madam said with relief.

Meanwhile, in the higher stands…

Christy Xenos asked Joshua Clarke, “Did you see it just now? That VIP seat, wasn’t it reserved for the Pingla’s bosses and executives? I specifically looked into it earlier. The one who just left and came back is the CEO of Pingla Group.”

“What do you think he and his entourage were doing when they left?” asked Christy curiously.

“How would I know? The major competition is organized by them. Maybe there was a problem that needed to be solved on the spot,” Joshua Clarke replied, while his gaze remained on the big screen.

The other contestants also faced the challenge of personally slaughtering an animal.

Therefore, the camera switched back to Cindy and her group.

Cindy, Yellen Brooks, and Ava Brown separated again to replace the ingredients they needed.

Thus, the live broadcast on the big screen could only switch between screens.

On the way, Cindy came across a large cluster of Indocalamus leaves.

Seeing this, Cindy couldn’t help but smile.

The organizers had really tried to make things convenient for the contestants.

Otherwise, if they were actually in the wild, where could they replace such perfect ingredients?

Indocalamus leaves are native to the south and are not found in the north.

Yet Belfard is a genuine northern city, and transporting Indocalamus leaves there must have been difficult.

The organizers didn’t intend to make things too hard for the contestants.

They placed some seemingly insignificant but useful materials in inconspicuous places.

It was up to the contestants to observe and replace them.

At that moment, Grace Green and the five judges were sitting at the commentator’s table.

“Huh? It looks like Cindy has found something,” Grace Green said.

“She should have found the cluster of Indocalamus leaves,” explained Michael Greene.

“Indocalamus leaves?” Grace Green quickly searched it on her mobile phone. “Ah, it’s this patch right in front of us. Cindy’s observation is very meticulous.”

“If I were there, I wouldn’t recognize them even if I saw them. Indocalamus leaves are inconspicuous. I would have thought they were ordinary leaves,” she said.
