"No way!" Kayla was the first to stand up and express her doubts.

She thought that today's competition was specially tailored for her to showcase her culinary skills. Plus, she didn't notice any underdogs present. So she couldn't be in second place.

Terence paused for a moment. And then, he calmly announced as if he hadn't heard Kayla's words, "First place goes to Lana Clark!"

"Lana?"

"Who is Lana?"

Before this, Kayla was one of the more famous people among the contestants. Who was this Lana who suddenly appeared out of nowhere?

Kayla frowned. Her pretty face creased in thought, and she whispered to her assistant beside her. "Quickly, go and find out who this Lana is."

"Lana is the person I was talking about!" Carol, who was standing nearby, immediately said.

Her face was as pale as a ghost. From the looks of it, one might even think she had lost the competition! How could it be Lana again? And how did she manage to defeat Kayla? How was that possible?

It's too bland. You can't even taste the original flavor of the food." Yves was an adorable senior. He didn't think too much about it and directly expressed his thoughts. "Wait, you're Mr. Stark's granddaughter? How could he have such a terrible cook as his granddaughter?" John realized belatedly.Lucas shook his head in defeat. "We already turned a blind eye to you and gave you points. And yet, you're accusing other people of cheating. If there really is someone playing unfairly, it's you! Did you know?

    Violet became upset after bringing up the topic."Exactly! How can someone so young and healthy be abandoned like this?" Violet asked.She was so frustrated that she stomped her feet. "Is it because there's something wrong with his head?"If Liam has something wrong with his head, then wouldn't everyone in this world be considered foolish?John took Liam's side and retorted, "That can't be. My uncle is brilliant. He was already leading the Kanes at eighteen."Violet nodded. She was supported by Darla and John as they walked into the room. "Yes, you're right. He's quite clever! How can such a clever and handsome person be abandoned? What could be the reason?"After saying that, Violet glanced around sneakily and then leaned in to whisper to John. "Do you think it's a problem in that department?"John covered his mouth, and his eyes widened in surprise. "What? No way!"It seemed like he stumbled across an extraordinary gossip. Hopefully, his uncle wouldn't silence him.Seeing

    "Grandma, is it good?"John took a bite of the pasta, looking satisfied as he watched Violet.However, Violet had no interest in talking to him at all. She was eating her pasta loudly, almost burying her head in the plate.She had a vegan diet, and Liam had hired many skilled chefs to prepare vegan dishes for her. However, she had never tasted vegan food as delicious as this plate of pasta.John took a few more bites of pasta and asked, "Grandma, did you hear me?"Violet, who had only ever called him "dear", suddenly gave him a light tap on the back of his head. "Stop bothering me, little rascal. You're disturbing my meal."Despite being hit, John felt overjoyed. It seemed that the cooking skills of his future wife had won Violet over. Their future was looking good now!John had known since he was a child that Violet had the sharpest judgment when it came to people.

    Lana sneered with her head down. "You're the one who doesn't know how to appreciate food. If you don't believe me, go ahead and ask the others. See what they have to say.""This young lady makes a good point. The hawthorn sauce is too sweet, especially when paired with the already fatty foie gras. It might taste pleasant at first, but it becomes cloying after a while. Just look, hardly any of us are reaching for a second piece."Yves was the one who spoke, a renowned international chef in his younger years.

    Liam's outstretched hand awkwardly hung in the air, and eventually, he could only withdraw it."Speak up if you have something to say, or else, stay quiet. We're not in the mood to listen to you." Hector's attitude toward Liam was still unfavorable, to the extent that he didn't even want to see him.Lana suddenly said, "Something very serious actually happened today."Following that, she placed Leonardo down and showed everyone the wound on his neck.A ring of red marks surrounded Leonardo's delicate neck. In some places, the marks were so swollen that it looked like a tire had been wrapped around his neck. It was a shocking sight to behold.Hector, Violet, Mandy, and Romelius were immediately enraged."What happened to Leo?""What happened to his neck?

    On the evening of the banquet, the Garrison Villa was bustling with distinguished guests.Initially, everyone's attention was on the precious great-grandson of the Garrison and Kane family.

Everyone was naturally curious about who the child might have chosen as his stepmother.It should be noted that the Garrison and Kane family only had one great-grandson. His future was destined to be extraordinary. As long as one could control the child, it was much more worthwhile than dealing with those individuals from the two affluent families.After all, the elders from the two families were very attentive and doting toward this child.

Did you miss Mommy? Mommy missed you so much!"Lana ran toward Leonardo, talking to him while reaching out to hug him.

He would occasionally peek out from the gaps to glance at Lana.His actions clearly showed that he refused to accept Lana.Lana's enthusiasm was dampened, and her outstretched arms awkwardly remained in midair.

All of them were busy scurrying around and helping Hector deliver the invitations.In addition to people who had business dealings with the Garrison family, the invitations were naturally sent to people who were familiar with Lana in the past. Therefore, as soon as the Traffic Light Trio received the invitation, they didn't even go to work and immediately ran to Liam's office—intending to get an explanation from him.At that time, Liam had just finished a phone call from overseas and was deep in thought when the office door was suddenly kicked open.Lincoln stood at the door, looking

    Liam sensed a challenging undertone in Lana's stare. After all this time, had they truly become adversaries?Releasing Lana abruptly, Violet gently patted her arm, her eyes filled with profound hurt."You're here, alive and well. Why did you leave us in the shadows? Even if you chose not to contact anyone else, you should've considered reaching out to me. Do you have any idea how much I missed you?"Over the years, Violet had been grappling with a deep sense of loss.Though it remained an unspoken sentiment among them, Violet was aware of the underlying blame directed toward Liam for what was believed to be Lana's demise.Had Liam been more emotionally available, their relationship wouldn't have crumbled.

"Leo, you should be calling me 'Mommy'!" she gently corrected him.Leonardo hesitated momentarily before redirecting his attention to Liam.Even though Liam hadn't exchanged a single word with Lana, he spoke up when Leo glanced his way, firmly stating, "Feel free to do as you wish. There's no need to seek my approval.
