Chapter 228 - 228: 228: Special Treatment

“Having a rematch or changing the competition system to start over isn’t realistic,” Cindy Clarke said, “Besides, there’s no problem with the current competition system. The competition is designed from the diners’ perspective, as a chef’s cuisine is meant to be enjoyed by them, right? Their satisfaction is what matters.”

“Moreover, today’s audience wasn’t specially pre-selected, but rather randomly picked from ticket purchasers,” Cindy continued, “If this still seems unfair to you, it must be that any competition you don’t win is considered unfair.”

“You want me to prove my culinary skills to you, as if participating in the competition isn’t enough? I have to demonstrate it to you again,” Cindy added.

“That’s too bullying,” one of the audience members remarked.

“Exactly! Why should she have to prove herself to her? It’s as if she thinks she’s all that,” chimed in another.

On stage, Zoe Silverstone couldn’t hear the murmurs from the crowd.

Cindy said, “I can prove my skills to you and make sure you’re convinced. But if this time, because of your questioning, regardless of whether it’s directed at me, the system, or the judges, I satisfy your demand, does that mean other contestants can cause chaos later on just because they’re unhappy with the competition rules?”

“If everyone starts following suit, causing scenes during live broadcasts just because they’re sore losers, even if they’re eventually proven wrong, the drama has already taken place. Should we still hold the competition if this happens every time?” Cindy questioned.

“Indeed.” Adrian Zhekova left Billy Houston and walked on stage.

Cindy didn’t expect Adrian Zhekova to actually step up like that.

As the CEO of the Pingla Group, he had even more authority to speak onstage than Billy Houston.

Adrian Zhekova stood beside Cindy. Though he was supposedly facing all the contestants, the audience couldn’t help but feel that he was there to shield

Ciliuy.

He positioned himself so that Cindy was almost entirely enveloped by his silhouette.

He protected her firmly.

Strangely enough, the scene of the two of them together was incredibly harmonious.

As the audience grew somewhat dazed, Adrian Zhekova said, “Zoe Silverstone wants proof? Fine. We’ll give her this opportunity. But this happens only once, never again. If anyone else thinks they can act like Zoe Silverstone and resort to slandering the judges and competitors just because they’re sore losers, in an attempt to receive special treatment, I’m sorry, but that’s impossible! You will be immediately disqualified from the competition.”

“By participating in the competition, it means you’ve accepted its rules. You’ve already agreed to them, and now you’re trying to back out—the racecourse isn’t a place for you to mess around. So from now on, no more exceptions will be made.”

Sheldon Rowland thought to himself that the scumbag CEO’s move was really ruthless.

Zoe Silverstone kept saying that Cindy Clarke was getting special treatment.

Everyone could suspect it, but there was still no concrete evidence.

Yet now, Adrian Zhekova had personally taken the stage and stated that Zoe Silverstone was indeed receiving special treatment.

Even if her demands were met this time, no one else could expect to receive the same concession as Zoe Silverstone in the future.

Anyone who raised questions later on would be sent away straightaway. Whether Cindy Clarke received special treatment or not remained unknown to the audience.

But as for Zoe Silverstone’s special treatment, the proof was clear for all to see..
