"They look down on us."

"They think highly of themselves."

These phrases portrayed Four Seasons as if they were superior. They had won several championships and were now looking down on smaller restaurants.

The participants were mostly young and spirited individuals. When they heard all that, their emotions flared up, and they joined in with Serena to question and protest.

"Even if Four Seasons doesn't participate, there's no need to insult us like this, is there?"

"Yeah, we don't mind a woman being a judge, especially in this era when gender doesn't determine one's profession. But is she even skilled enough? Can she handle a knife and ladle properly? Does she have the qualifications to be a judge?"

"If Four Seasons doesn't think highly of the Grand Culinary Championship, why bother coming? Appointing a judge like her is just disgusting."

The controversy grew louder, and Serena wore a cold smile.

Serena had personally tasted Rebecca’s cooking, and she was indeed exceptio

    "You—"The young man was provoked by Rebecca's words and couldn't contain his anger any longer. He approached her directly."Why do you have the right to say such things? Is there anything wrong with what I said? You're just a woman, and you don't seem very old either. Your role as a judge here is an insult to us, and we have every right to tell you to get lost!"As he walked closer, his voice suddenly grew louder. This made Rebecca frown slightly uncomfortably.However, Rebecca remained seated in her chair. Her voice was calm and unhurried."Firstly, I'll reiterate that I'm against any form of gender discrimination. I'm not the only female chef here.“Secondly, I was invited to be a judge on behalf of Four Seasons by the organizers. You have no right to tell me to leave. And if you think this is an insult, it's not my doing.“Lastly, I'd like to remind you that if you're confident in your cooking, you shouldn't care who's sitting here today.

    The familiar voice made Rebecca look up, and she saw Daniel in a black suit.His tall and slender figure was accentuated by the suit, and his straight-cut trousers hugged his long legs as he walked.Daniel exuded an aloof air of nobility that was far from approachable.Rebecca's eyes widened.Why was he here?If she remembered correctly, Sam had beaten Daniel up pretty badly yesterday.However, when Rebecca looked at Daniel’s face, it seemed as if nothing had happened.Of course, Rebecca didn't know that all the punches exchanged yesterday landed on Daniel's body and not on his face. Hence, there were no visible injuries on his face.As for Daniel’s disheveled appearance yesterday, it was mainly due to the heavy blows and the dirt on the ground, which made him appear terrifying.Today, Daniel had tidied himself up. He wore a well-fitted suit and polished shoes. His hair was perfectly styled. So, there was no hint of disarray.In fact, Daniel had even attracted the attention o

    "Being able to recognize your mistakes is a rare quality. So, I accept your apology," Rebecca replied.Rebecca was willing to give a favorable response to someone who could admit their mistakes and make amends.She looked at the young man earnestly and offered some advice. "You're still young, and it's normal to get emotional when people around you provoke you with words.“I hope that the next time you encounter such a situation, you can calm down and think carefully. Is the other person truly as others describe, and from what perspective are you making your judgments?“I forgave you this time because you're still young, and you apologized promptly. However, if there's a next time, I might not accept your apology.“You should focus on honing your culinary skills, and I hope you can achieve a good ranking in this competition."Everyone participating in the Grand Culinary Championship aimed for victory. They were not aiming just for the substantial prize money or the promotion of t

    If Rebecca could hear what Daniel was thinking, she would have screamed, "No!" at him, much less shown him a pleasant expression. Was he daydreaming? Who did he think he was?He was lucky that Rebecca had been gracious enough not to consider him an enemy. Why did he still want to compare himself with a stranger? At the very least, strangers had never hurt her in a substantial way. Could he say the same?Even though that young man had been rude to her, he had apologized. What about Daniel? Where on earth did Daniel find the gall to say such things to her now? Was it just because Sam had beaten him up yesterday? What kind of wishful thinking was this?It was only now that Rebecca realized Sam had been holding back when he had beat Daniel up. In fact, Daniel hadn't needed to be admitted to the hospital, seeing as he seemed fine enough to join in on this drama today.If she had known, she wouldn't have stopped Sam yesterday. She had even nearly gotten into a fight with him over i

    "Sure! Why not?" Before Markus could say anything, Liam had already rushed to answer.He had been in a dilemma about what to have for lunch, too. The food at Gourmet Haven made him lose his appetite, especially after eating Rebecca's cooking for the past two days.It was hard to go back to eating mediocre food after having tasted such culinary delights. It would be like eating cardboard.Hence, when he heard James' suggestion, Liam quickly approved of it. Since someone had already approved of the idea, the rest of them didn't go against it. Markus didn't have much of an opinion, either. He would love to have more of Rebecca's cooking. Still, he faked nonchalance. "Let's see if Ms. B minds. I don't really care."Rebecca didn't really mind, either. Although she felt a bit lazy, she was willing to cook for these old men.Besides, all the ingredients that were prepared here were top-notch, as were the cooking utensils. She only had to cook, so it wasn't that much trouble. Bu

    When she heard this, Rebecca paused in her footsteps. She fell silent as she thought about whether to answer. But then, James answered his own question."If I recall, Mr. Winston said your last name is Johnson, right? That isn't a very common last name in these parts. "But the Johnson family is quite remarkable, comparable to the Winston family in Riverwood. Have you heard of the Johnson family in Rookfort, child?"Rebecca could only feel her own silence ringing in her ears. Well, it was better to just get it over with quickly.She had planned to visit her grandfather with her parents. That way, they would be able to explain things properly. But now that things had gotten to this point, there was no point in hiding the truth.Besides, based on how James and Markus spoke to each other, they were quite close. That was a guarantee of his character. It was natural for one to be biased toward one's own family. Thus, Rebecca could understand why James had treated her like that earl

    Although Serena was a bit better than Mary and knew to behave at home, she was just the same as Mary when she was outside.Many parents in their circle had complained to James about Serena. Serena would even bully kids under the age of ten! Still, she didn't feel ashamed about her behavior.It was just that James had never caught her in the act. He was also worried that Serena would be too upset about it, so he had never disciplined her too much. All he ever did was lecture her a bit while having dinner. James had never even raised his voice at Serena before.Besides, he wasn't Serena's parent. He was only her maternal grandfather, so he couldn't overstep.On second thought, James realized that he should think deeper into what Serena had done during that altercation with Rebecca.From what Rebecca said, it sounded like she and Serena had met before. If Rebecca had gotten mad because of the bad situation, why had Serena?As the older one, it was fine if Serena didn't defend Re

    Rebecca didn't know what James was thinking. She was too focused on her cooking. Since the three people she was serving for lunch were old men, she decided to cook something that didn't need much chewing and was easily digestible.Since it was a cooking competition, there were all manner of ingredients ready to use. Plus, they had all been prepared. All Rebecca needed to do was cook.She worked fast. Even though James had asked her to make a couple of simple dishes, she decided to make a full-course meal for the three old men.She would make them a dessert. Bananas Foster was a simple dish with only a few ingredients, but the test came when she needed to flambé the bananas. Then, she made osso buco using a shank of lamb. It was a lot of work to get it braised, but that was fine because Rebecca was looking forward to having some later as well. She prepared a gravy for it, too, and the polenta it would sit atop.The next dish was much simpler. She chose to make a risotto, as it

    Penny didn't have much free time over the past three years.As she had envisioned, during the first year, she honed her acting skills amidst criticism while also working as a translator.Later on, she felt that acting didn't hold much appeal anymore. Moreover, realizing that there weren't any roles left for her, she gradually gave up and moved toward working behind the scenes.She had some work during this period.It seemed that a daring reality show, not caring about potential risks, decided to capitalize on her controversial popularity and invited her to participate in one of their programs.The reason Penny agreed to participate was because the show's first season had a good reputation, and the payment offered was reasonable.Continuously doing translations could be quite tiring. After discussing with Cecilia and weighing the pros and cons, she eventually signed up for this TV show.Unfortunately, she had underestimated the darker side of human nature.The show's production

    "Really?" Zane blurted out, staring incredulously at Sam, who nodded calmly. His unruly and carefree demeanor was restrained, and his composed attitude showed that he wasn't joking.Zane fell silent again, furrowing his brow as he intently observed Sam.It was as if he thought everything through in an instant, giving up without hesitation. He didn't even remind Zane of the request from years ago to take care of Penny. Instead, he said this would be the last time he would help out.Logically speaking, this should be a satisfactory outcome for Zane. After all, from any perspective, the Lowe family's scion would only be a burden to Sam.Looking again at Sam's attitude, it seemed he didn't want Penny to know he was the one quietly spending money to handle things behind the scenes.Since there was no plan to meet her, he didn't need to worry about anything after that. If that was the case, it would be better to just end it early.That way, if Sam saw Penny falling in love, getting mar

    All those old scoundrels from the Lowe family undoubtedly ranked the highest. Then there was Jessica, the entertainment industry's national goddess, who also played a significant role.Besides them, there were a few minor celebrities who didn't really make the cut.However, as Sam's partner and someone who watched him grow up, Zane privately hoped Sam could find a better girl.So, he advised, "There are plenty of socialites in Riverwood, and Amdale has no shortage of beautiful young ladies, either, and Rookfort isn't much different."You and the Lowe family's daughter haven't even officially met…""Who said I haven't met her?" Sam interrupted him without a second thought.He had even seen her twice. How could Zane say they hadn't even met yet?The first time, she gave him all the money she had. The second time, he spoke up to help her get that role.After these interactions, they could be considered acquaintances.Zane choked up and couldn't find the words to refute.He was s

    Because Penny declined his offer, Zane didn't insist. After a bit of small talk, he ended the call.He politely mentioned that if she needed any help, she could call this number again. If he could assist in any way, he certainly would.However, Zanw knew very well that, given Penny's temperament, she would rather give up what she had than actively seek help from a stranger.Yes, to Penny, Zane was just a stranger. He was a person she had met once but didn't really know.This time, Penny didn't respond as coldly as she did when she was 18. Instead, she exchanged a couple of polite pleasantries, mentioned that she would reach out if needed, and then hung up the phone.After that, she let out a long sigh of relief and lay on the lounge chair on the balcony, gazing at the view outside the window.There were fluffy white clouds in the azure sky and the greenery visible in the neighborhood. Sparrows were chirping persistently as they darted through the forest, and the cicadas loudly bu

    Although the other person said only one word, Penny could still tell he didn't have any ill intentions.Because of that faint sense of familiarity, Penny didn't hang up the phone immediately. "Hello? May I ask what this is about?"The unfamiliar and distant tone probably made the man on the other end of the phone pause for a moment. It was only after a brief silence that he responded."Young lady, don't you remember me? It's Zane Moran."His voice carried a laugh, with a hint of teasing.Only then did Penny remember who he was, but she wasn't happy at all.Zane meant no harm when that incident happened back then. But despite that, over the years that had passed, he became one of the people and things Penny would rather not recall.Whether it was the exam she missed, the incident where Spencer took her to the hotel against her will, or Zane, who gave her 30 dollars for a taxi ride.She just wanted to hide all of them deep in her memories.The recent events had particularly made

    "I'm fine. You all don't have to look so worried. You're making it seem as if something bad is going to happen to me."Penny looked at the two people at the door who were showing a range of expressions, feeling speechless.Cecilia was provoked by her words, and her eyes turned red."We're worried about you. You have no idea what you look like right now. You're almost like one of those disheartened protagonists in novels who hated the world."Penny clicked her tongue twice and said, "Aren't you exaggerating?"She didn't believe it. She was just worried about money. It wasn't like she had become disillusioned with life.Besides, she didn't dislike this world at all. On the contrary, she really liked it.Whenever Penny came across posts online suggesting that all humans should just die, she always felt like rolling her eyes. If they wanted to die, they shouldn't drag others with them.When searching for her own role in movies, TV dramas, and novels, Penny particularly preferred re

    Penny's way of clarifying things was to simply tell the truth.Sometimes, trying to cover things up would just lead to needing 100 more lies to continue the cover-up. That would often end up making things worse and more ridiculous.It was better to tell the truth about the situation.To answer the question of why she lashed out at the Lowe family, she briefly explained her experiences over the years.Why didn't she attend the final paper of the college entrance examinations? She personally reopened that old wound.As for that man in the hotel, Penny didn't have much of an impression of him anymore. She only remembered not taking his business card and accepting 30 dollars from him.Why did she show up at that man's hotel room? She wrote it down truthfully—it was her father who personally took her and left her at the hotel, wanting to trade her like a commodity.Every single word was carefully considered and written by Penny.She didn't share much of these things with Cecilia.

    Once the official statements were released, Penny's career being ruined became a certainty.The only surprising thing was probably that after the film crew issued their statement, the largest investor also requested to withdraw.The film crew was completely shocked, but there was nothing they could do. The scion was willing to lose money just to withdraw his investment, so what could they do?The amount of money in the compensation was nothing compared to the amount that the scion planned to invest. The production team would incur a significant loss.With one less investor, the project's status was essentially downgraded. They had much less room to manipulate their gains now, too.One would understand why the scion was doing this if they used their brain a little.However, the protests from the audience couldn't be ignored, and compared to the investors, it was clearly more important to keep the show going.After all, they could always attract more sponsors, even if the amount o

    In addition to the widespread backlash caused by the phone recording, Penny's academic credentials were also scrutinized and exposed.Before the college entrance exam, she had always been the top student in her school and had never ranked anything else.However, in the college entrance exam, she barely passed the minimum mark for key institutions, far below her usual performance.Some people speculated that she had been cheating during regular exams and that her actual abilities were much worse.However, the exam results could be checked online, and the fact that Penny scored zero on the last exam was surprising.It was even more shocking that she was admitted to a top-tier university despite missing an exam. It was truly exceptional.But few people paid attention to this information.After all, the achievements attained through hard work couldn't be faked. Even if the results weren't as expected, it was undeniable that she was stronger than many others.Regarding this topic, t
