Chapter 545: Chapter 545: Exposure

Even still, her skills had long surpassed those of a food blogger.

Even if she were to go to a famous high-end restaurant, she wouldn’t feel out of place at all.

It’s just that in the midst of competing, she had already forgotten her original purpose.

The competition had completely aroused her desire to win.

Besides, she had never been someone who would easily give up.

If she had given up so easily, she wouldn’t have given birth to Morgan back then.

And she wouldn’t have taken one step at a time, relying on herself to achieve her current status.

“I just wanted to remind you of this,” Adrian Zhekova laughed, he knew her well, “I know you’re not someone who easily gives up. Since you’ve come this far, you won’t be willing to give up.”

“I was just worried that you might forget about this once you get caught up in the competition, so I wanted to remind you in advance,” Adrian Zhekova said with a smile.

“I remember,” Cindy Clarke nodded.

Adrian Zhekova gently rubbed the top of Cindy’s head.

He didn’t care that many people were watching nearby.

Anyway, most of them were familiar faces, mainly high-level officials from the competition.

The remaining two competitors, Yellen Brooks and Ava Brown, had also seen plenty just now.

It was too late to avoid suspicion now.

So, Adrian Zhekova didn’t bother to avoid it at all.

He lowered his head and kissed Cindy on the forehead: “Are you really okay now?”

“I’m fine,” Cindy said, “I was indeed very uncomfortable at first, but I found that after talking to you for a while, I’m much better now. I can compete normally without fear.”

“Do you still need to process the chicken yourself?” Adrian Zhekova looked at the chicken on the ground that had already completely died and no longer convulsed.

It just looked a bit scary without a head, and its feathers still stained with blood.

Cindy nodded.

She will have to pluck the feathers and clean it.

Adrian Zhekova squinted his eyes, wanting someone else to help Cindy.

Yellen Brooks and Ava Brown gasped in unison.

Even the camera operator following them was not calm.

His hand trembled slightly, holding the camera.

Actually, when Adrian Zhekova suddenly appeared just now, the camera operator was so surprised that he almost dropped his camera.

He managed to steady it, only to watch the interaction between Adrian Zhekova and Cindy.

He completely forgot his own reaction, becoming a human camera stand without emotions.

Now, he still couldn’t calm himself.

Who would’ve thought he’d hear such big news?

The camera operator was troubled, forgetting to ask Billy Houston whether to keep filming or not.

For now, they would pause for a moment.

What if this inadvertently filmed information got leaked?

“You... You two...” Ava Brown stuttered in shock, “You’re really with Master Adrian?”

Cindy nodded: “However, Iris Doone and Zoe Silverstone suspect that our relationship is improper. They think that the Zhekova Family wouldn’t accept my status and that we will eventually break up, so they dare to target me all the time.”

“As for me, I am indeed worried that if our relationship becomes known, some people would think it’s unfair for me to participate in the competition. If I lose, that’s fine. But if I win, they would question whether my victory is fair.”

Yellen Brooks and Ava Brown agreed with what Cindy said.

First there was Zoe Silverstone, then Iris Doone, and today a Blake Walker appeared.

Without any evidence or eyewitnesses, they could feel that Cindy’s achievements were questionable.

Not to mention after the relationship between Cindy and Adrian Zhekova became public.

“Now you both have seen it,” Cindy looked at the two of them, “What do you think? Do you think my achievements have any flaws?”

“Now only you two know, others still don’t know. But if you feel uneasy and think that my achievements have flaws, and that the judges would take Adrian Zhekova into consideration when giving me scores, then I can quit,” Cindy said.

Ava Brown thought for a moment and said, “Cindy, let me ask you a question, don’t get angry.”

“Go ahead,” Cindy nodded.

“In the previous competitions, of course, I didn’t think your achievements had any flaws. It’s just like what we told Blake Walker earlier. In the first competition, I tasted your cooking. In the second one, even though I didn’t taste it, just watching how you handled the dish and seeing the exquisite final product was enough to speak for your culinary skills.”

“As for the taste, I’m willing to trust the judges. Among the five judges, two are our teachers from under Pingla Academy, and the other two graduated from Pingla Academy. Charles Dean has also been a guest lecturer at our academy when he was in Hearth Nation,” Ava Brown said.
