Daddy! Come Home for Dinner! Chapter 501 – It Really is a Cool Autumn Wind (Combined into Two Chapters)

Chapter 501: Chapter 501: It Really is a Cool Autumn Wind (Combined into Two Chapters)

Wesley Gordon took the microphone, showing no surprise that Adrian Zhekova once again went onstage.

Adrian wouldn’t let Iris Doone off easily since she had tried to target Cindy Clarke.

However, Wesley thought Adrian would wait until the competition was over to deal with Iris.

He couldn’t have been more naive.

When the scumbag CEO wanted revenge, he didn’t wait a minute and got it immediately.

But after listening to Adrian’s words, the audience didn’t think he went too far.

“Good job!”

“That’s what Iris Doone, such a shameless villain, deserves!”

“Moreover, punishing Iris severely this time can serve as a warning to others, not to use such despicable means to win the competition.”

“That’s right, anyone who maliciously damages other contestants’ ingredients and sets traps for them will be punished severely! Let’s see who still dares!”

“Well done, Master Adrian!”

Amid the audience’s support, the live broadcast finally ended.

Nork City, Clarke Family.

Having watched the live broadcast, the Clarke family members had different feelings.

Joshua Clarke felt somewhat relieved that Cindy had won the competition again.

In the five years since Cindy had left home, she hadn’t given up on her cooking skills but instead honed them further.

This Yellow Croaker in soup, which many restaurants would offer in a simplified version, Joshua could actually cook.

But the real Yellow Croaker in soup, with a very complicated recipe, was just like the one Cindy made today.

Joshua didn’t think he could make it.

Without him, Cindy had made such great progress on her own.

It was clear that Cindy’s talent was truly outstanding.

Joshua felt relieved, but also heartbroken.

He thought that Cindy had been too heartless.

Since she had already been so successful, why couldn’t she secretly contact him?

Five years had passed, and if not for seeing her on TV, he would have known nothing.

Joshua’s emotions were very complex at the moment.

But overall, he was still happy for Cindy.

Christy Xenos and Wendy Clarke’s feelings were much simpler.

They watched coldly, not expecting that Cindy would win the competition.

“I didn’t know that Cindy’s skills have become that great,” Christy couldn’t help but say sarcastically, “She went straight into the top 15.”

Wendy smiled and said, “Mom, Cindy’s progress and her good results are a good thing. We should be happy for her.”

As she spoke, Wendy tugged at Christy’s sleeve and gave Joshua a look.

Christy pursed her lips and said reluctantly, “Yeah, I’m just happy for her. That kid is so capable. She’s been gone for five years, and even without us, even without her father teaching her cooking, she still managed to become so talented.”

“Look, she can even make such complicated dishes, and the judges all appreciate her so much,” Christy said mockingly.

“I think if we really go to find her, she doesn’t need her dad to teach her anymore. With the judges appreciating her so much, any of them can take her as a disciple. How could she look up to her dad’s small restaurant skills?” Christy stung Joshua with a remark.

Joshua lit a cigarette and took a heavy puff, “Well, I’m happy for her too.”

“Fine, just keep being happy for her. No matter how happy you are, she won’t know,” Christy said coldly.

“Mom, don’t think that just because she advanced into the national top 15, it’s a big deal. In reality, she has only participated in two rounds. It’s just that the elimination rate in these two rounds is a bit high. Both are 50% elimination rate, so she jumped straight into the top 15. But in reality, there’s also an element of luck. If she didn’t draw well today, she would have been the one eliminated,” Wendy said.

“As the competition gets more intense, it’s hard to say what will happen to Cindy,” Wendy added.

“That girl just can’t be as down-to-earth as you are, insisting on taking shortcuts,” Christy sneered.

“By the way, Miss Silverstone,” Wendy hadn’t forgotten that Zoe Silverstone was still there.

Zoe smiled faintly, “No need to be so polite, just call me Zoe.”

“We’ve been watching the live broadcast, so we haven’t asked you yet,” Wendy said, “How has Cindy been in Belfard all these years?”

Zoe didn’t answer immediately but looked at the sky outside.

At this point, the sky had already turned half-dark.

Seeing this, Wendy said, “It’s dinner time, and our housekeeper should have the meal ready. Miss Silverstone, why don’t you stay and eat with us?”

It wasn’t that Zoe wanted to take advantage, but her current situation was rather dire.

She had bought a plane ticket from afar, and also booked a hotel.

Because she couldn’t be sure of the Clarke family’s attitude, she didn’t dare to confirm her return date.

Thus, she didn’t buy a return ticket.

She couldn’t say for sure how many nights she would need to stay at the hotel either.

All these expenses were coming out of her savings, so she naturally needed to save as much as she could.

She had come all this way to tell the Clarke family about Cindy, so wouldn’t they at least let her have a meal?

Hearing Wendy’s words, Zoe readily agreed: “I’ll shamelessly stay for dinner then. I know quite a bit about Cindy, and there’s a lot to tell.”

“Of course,” said Wendy with a fake smile, “Let’s talk while we eat.”

Just then, the housekeeper brought all the dishes to the dining table.

So everyone went to the dining room and sat down.

Wendy didn’t think much of Zoe.

She even wanted to freeload a meal. What a freeloader!

No wonder she insisted on staying to watch the live broadcast today.

She probably calculated that once the live broadcast was over, it would be dinner time.

Wendy didn’t say anything on the surface.

After the housekeeper filled their bowls with rice,

Wendy asked Zoe again about Cindy’s situation while they ate.

Zoe didn’t come up with any more excuses this time, or she would be mistaken for a liar.

“I don’t know if you know what Cindy is doing now?” Zoe asked as she began to speak.

“It seems like she’s doing something online or something like that, right?” Christy couldn’t figure it out and couldn’t explain it clearly.

She only heard a mouthful during the last round, but didn’t understand much.

Zoe inwardly looked down on Christy.

Christy was truly a vulgar, uneducated, and ignorant woman.

Wendy secretly tapped Christy’s toes under the table, telling her not to speak up all the time.

Zoe had almost figured out their intentions.

“As I recall, she used the name Cain Velman in the last round. Since you are a food blogger and a competitor, she should be a food blogger as well,” Wendy said.

Zoe thought that at least Wendy still had a brain.

Did this married couple give all their intelligence to their two daughters, leaving none for themselves?

“Yes,” Zoe nodded. “Do you have any understanding of food bloggers?”
