Chapter 490: Chapter 490: Pretending to be a Good Person (2 chapters merged into one)

Under such circumstances, if she used it, she would probably be out of the competition.

While the contestants were cooking, the judges observed each of them carefully.

Now there were only thirty people left in the field.

And the five judges were able to watch each of them one by one.

“I forgot to get the green onions and ginger!” Suddenly, they heard Yellen Brooks exclaim in a state of panic.

Though they were just green onions and ginger, they were essential ingredients for her cuisine.

Even though it seems unimportant, these ingredients are indispensable for removing the fishy smell of chicken, duck, and fish.

Especially today’s theme was “ocean.”

The contestants had all chosen seafood as the main ingredient for their cuisine.

Naturally, they needed the most basic ingredients like green onions and ginger.

But Yellen Brooks forgot to get those basic ingredients.

She made a fundamental mistake.

The five judges all noted it down on their score sheets.

Yellen Brooks then looked at her opponent, Joseph Tanner.

She bit her lip; today, the two were in a competitive relationship where one must be eliminated.

If she lacked ingredients, she would only increase Joseph Tanner’s chances of winning.

But if she asked Joseph Tanner to lend her ingredients, he wouldn’t do it.

If it were her, she would certainly feel the same, wishing for her opponent’s mistake to increase her chances of winning. V/\IssịT n0(v)eL/b(i)(n).co/m for the b/est novel reading experi/en/ce

Yellen Brooks looked to her left.

On her left were Cindy Clarke and Iris Doone.

Thinking of Cindy Clarke’s temper, Yellen Brooks felt a little hesitant.

She felt that Cindy Clarke’s temperament was not very good.

On the contrary, Iris Doone spoke softly and gently.

She usually got along well with other contestants.

Unlike Cindy Clarke, they hardly spoke.

After each competition, Iris Doone would chat with other contestants and share experiences.

When leaving the competition site, they would walk together.

Cindy Clarke was different. Once the competition was over, she would disappear.

It was even more mysterious when she arrived.

So, Yellen Brooks thought that Iris Doone would most likely help her.

Thus, Yellen Brooks asked Iris Doone: “Iris, could you lend me some green onions and ginger?”

She saw that there were enough green onions and ginger on Iris Doone’s cooking station, and she alone couldn’t finish them.

Lending her some wouldn’t make any difference.

Cindy Clarke silently took the green onions and ginger she had prepared, thinking like Iris Doone to take more just in case.

At this moment, she cut off a piece of green onion and took a ginger for Yellen Brooks.

She reached out and asked Yellen, “Is this enough?”

Yellen Brooks was stunned.

She never even asked Cindy Clarke, but she unexpectedly cut the green onions for her without a word and handed her the whole ginger.

Surprised, she couldn’t answer right away. Cindy Clarke was somewhat surprised, “Not enough?”

Cindy Clarke estimated the amount.

The amount was enough to be used twice.

“Enough! It’s enough!” Yellen Brooks quickly said, nodding vigorously.

She just didn’t expect Cindy Clarke to take the initiative to help her.

Usually, Cindy Clarke didn’t speak much to them, and they hardly communicated during the competition.

Not to mention, they never hung out together in private.

Yellen Brooks was unfamiliar with Cindy Clarke and felt she had a stubborn temper and looked a bit cold.

But she didn’t expect Cindy Clarke to be so righteous.

Even though it was just green onions and ginger, Yellen Brooks took it to heart.

Did you see Iris Doone not lending her at all?

Yellen Brooks hurriedly took it: “Thank you so much! You’ve helped me a lot.”

Cindy Clarke gave a faint smile: “Hurry up and cook, time is precious.”

“Yes!” Yellen Brooks quickly focused on continuing her cooking.

Joseph Tanner glanced at Cindy Clarke, somewhat surprised.

He didn’t expect Cindy Clarke to help.

He couldn’t help but think she was meddling in others’ affairs.

Normally, she wasn’t this enthusiastic.

Now that there are cameras around, she begins to play the good guy again!

Helping Yellen Brooks was going against him!

Although Joseph Tanner was confident in defeating Yellen Brooks,

He wanted more chances of winning.

The more flaws Yellen Brooks had in her cooking, the better it would be for him, and the more impressive his win would be.

Yellen Brooks didn’t ask Cindy Clarke for help, why did she have to meddle!

Joseph Tanner was annoyed and, while cleaning the fish, suddenly got stabbed by a fish bone at the spot between his fingernail and finger flesh.

That was the most painful spot, like a sharp, bone-chilling pain.

Joseph Tanner let out a cry.

“What’s wrong?”Michael Greene and Wesley Gordon immediately came to check.

Joseph Tanner’s face turned pale and, feeling embarrassed, whispered, “I got stabbed by a fishbone.”
