"Contestant 31, do you need more time?"When the host saw that Lana was still cooking, he couldn't help but frown and remind her. The rest of the contestants who heard this cast disdainful glances at Lana.Everyone was here for the competition with the same amount of time allocated. Why should she be given a few extra minutes over others?Lana shook her head. She turned off the heat and lifted the pot in one fluid motion."Is this even allowed? I hope she's not planning to serve undercooked chowder later.""Not only is it undercooked chowder, there's even seafood in it. If anyone ends up with an upset stomach, she won't be let off that easily!"Despite the ongoing heated discussions, Lana remained unfazed. She brought out the three completed dishes to allow the camera operator to shoot them.The other contestants also brought out their dishes. Then, they presented them for the camera operators to shoot.The camera operator first shot Kayla's completed dishes. It included a cl
Everyone else, including Sabrina, was taken aback by John's behavior. She found herself breaking into a cold sweat.She had mentally prepared for the worst with the bizarre dishes. However, after taking a bite, her raised eyebrows couldn't hide her amazement. "Wow, this is like a taste of paradise!"John immediately put on a confident, honest guy image. "See? I didn't lie to you, did I?" he said. Sabrina was too busy devouring her portion of crab cakes to respond to him.John didn't want to be left behind. He silently finished his portion and then cast a hungry look at Lucas' bowl.Lucas was startled by the fiery looks in his eyes. Even though he didn't want to eat, he clutched his bowl tightly. Lana's cooking was currently met with two extreme attitudes. Some, like Lucas and the Stark family's apprentices, firmly rejected her dishes. While others, including John and Sabrina, were showering her cooking with praise. One side refused to taste her food. Meanwhile the other sid
With the hype from the host and the anticipation of the audience, all ten members of the public food critic team took the stage. They had all registered through the internet, passed through several rounds of selection, and stood out among tens of thousands. When the ten amateur food critics appeared on stage in perfect order, many were stunned by the eighth member's gorgeous look."My goodness. The eighth member is incredibly handsome!""He's more than handsome, okay?" "I don't care. Even if I don't know him, I'm ready to be his devoted fan for life."While the live audience and online viewers were stunned by his good looks, two people in the live audience couldn't wait to leave the scene.Lana quickly ran into the group of contestants, attempting to hide herself. Meanwhile, John had managed to fit his entire body under the table. At the same time, Karl was trying to persuade him to come out. The person in the crowd who seemed overjoyed was Carol. Her heart couldn't help
Lana's lips twitched, and she slowly raised her hands. "I swear. I didn't make him. He did it himself." Liam found Lana even more heartless when she said that! His face grew darker as he stared at her with a piercing gaze.Since the beginning of last month, he had been busy with senseless tasks and engaging in idle conversations with people online. It was all for the chance to join the public food critic team.He was away on a business trip and had forgotten about the show's recording schedule. When he learned the show was about to begin, he rushed back overnight without even going home. All his efforts weren't for the sake of watching this heartless woman play with his nephew's feelings here.In an instant, Liam was overwhelmed by an inexplicable anger. It welled up from within for an unknown reason. John, noticing Liam's grim expression, quickly approached to clarify, "Uncle Liam, everything Lana said is true. I did everything willingly, and she never asked me for anything!"
Liam was incredibly strong. In a moment, Lana felt as though she might be dying. There were so many things she hadn't done yet. She hadn't found her biological parents. She needed to ask them why they had given birth to her only to abandon her! Therefore, she couldn't die yet! Lana's voice was hoarse as she struggled to utter the words she wanted to say, "Liam … you're … a pervert!"Liam was surprised to hear that.Lana actually said that he was a pervert. Suddenly, Liam inexplicably released his grip. Lana fell to the ground instantly and started to breathe in air in large gasps. At that moment, she felt grateful to be alive. When she finally came to her senses and wanted to confront Liam, he had already vanished. Lana pounded the ground in frustration, saying, "Starting today, there's no peace between you and me."Lana, however, didn't understand why Liam hadn't allowed her to clarify things with John just now. If she and John could have a straightforward talk, tha
In the end, Liam kicked Howard out of Kane Residence! He believed Howard was a complete fake. His perverted symptoms were so glaringly obvious. And yet, Howard not only failed to provide him with treatment but also spouted nonsense. In fact, Liam couldn't accept the idea that he might have fallen for Lana.If he truly had feelings for Lana, there was no way they could have spent three years together at Kane Residence without anything happening. Moreover, if he genuinely had feelings for Lana, he would never have divorced her. After dismissing Howard, Liam began searching for internationally renowned psychologists. He refused to accept that no doctor could diagnose his psychological issues.…After getting kicked out of Kane Residence, Howard didn't bear any grudges. In fact, he started traveling around Gilsbury. Since he hadn't been back home in a long time, he thought this was the perfect time for a well-deserved break. Pushing his suitcase through the streets of Gils
Nadia naturally refused Howard's rude request. Howard shrugged as if it didn't matter to him. "You don't even know how to grasp the opportunity to go out on a date with a handsome guy."However, Lana knew that Howard had his reasons for each action. So she tried to persuade Nadia too, "Nadia, if you have nothing else to do, it's good to just go for a walk. Life is more than work and study. Your life has just begun; don't waste your youth."Nadia couldn't argue further with them. Thus, she pretended to agree to go on the date.Anyway, she could decide whether to go or not. What else could Howard do, force her by holding a knife to her throat?"Fine!"Lana and Howard were both relieved as Nadia finally agreed.Howard looked dignified as he came out of Lana's house.Lana's heart sank. "Is it bad?"Howard was rarely serious. "It's not just bad, it's awful. I'm scared that she would have suicidal thoughts.""What?" Lana sadly said, "It's all my fault! I neglected her all this w
At the same time, at the competition venue, Kayla's face dropped as she saw fans cheering for Lana come through the station entrance.Her family had been hiring marketing teams to promote her since the beginning, but she still didn't have a lot of fans.On the other hand, Lana, not even having a Twitter account, won over so many people's hearts. Would Kayla be happy?Kayla walked in the front as Lana's fans saw her, their expressions each gloated at her misfortune. She lost all her temper at once. "Go away, you guys aren't participants. Don't be in our way."Being arrogantly yelled at for no reason, anyone would have been mad. Soon, Lana's fans began arguing with Kayla."Weird, the TV station doesn't belong to the Starks. Why are you so anxious?""What are you? A guard dog? Who are you to boss us around on who stands at the entrance of the station?"Kayla and her team didn't even get to go into the station before starting a fight with Lana's fans.It was Kayla's fault to star
