âSo now, the top 30 contestants for this Cooking Competition have been decided, congratulations to all of you. For those who have not advanced, donât be discouraged. The fact that you made it into the top 50 out of thousands of contestants nationwide is already an outstanding accomplishment. We hope you will continue to work hard, and if youâre willing, we welcome you to participate again next year. By then, weâre sure to see an even better performance from you all,â Grace Green said.
âNext, we invite the judges to announce the theme for the next round of the competition. Contestants can use the time before the next round to think and prepare, â Grace Green continued.
Michael Greene then announced, âThe theme for the next round is âOceanâ.â
The advancing contestants looked at each other, all somewhat perplexed.
Such a broad theme was both easy and difficult to work with.
The scope of the theme was wide, giving them many options.
However, precisely because the scope was so broad, it was difficult to focus on the key points.
âTodayâs competition concludes here; thank you all for attending. Weâll see you next time,â Grace Green ended.
As soon as Grace Green finished speaking, a voice rang out, âHold on! I have a question!â
The audience was about to leave when they heard this voice and returned to their seats.
Obviously, they were eager for some tumult.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhatâs going on? Is it Zoe Silverstone?â fans of Cindy Clarke recognized the voice and immediately took out their mobile phones to record. They planned to upload the footage online as soon as they got home.
Zoe Silverstone was somewhat of an internet celebrity. If she stirred up any trouble, the video would go viral.
Since not everyone was livestreaming the event, she could upload this particular segment online separately.
With everyoneâs attention on her, Zoe Silverstone stepped forward.
Since she was eliminated anyway, she had no fear of being retaliated against in future competitions.
Besides, as a food blogger, she had no vested interests with the Pingla Group.
Even if Cain Velman did have some connection with Adrian Zhekova, what could Adrian do to her as a food blogger?
Therefore, Zoe Silverstone felt that she had nothing to lose.
Since she was eliminated, she wouldnât let Cain Velman enjoy his first place either!
âI have a question,â Zoe Silverstone said, not waiting for Grace Green and the judges to react.
Zoe then pointed at Cindy Clarke and said, âI have doubts about Cain Velmanâs vote count.â
Grace Green maintained her smile, âIf you have any doubts, please feel free to report to us afterward. The judges and the organizers will definitely provide a fair and impartial explanation.â
âWhat canât be said here?â Zoe Silverstone coldly replied, âThe audience and the livestream viewers are all here. Letâs get things cleared up in front of everyone.â
Zoe Silverstone was determined to stir up trouble â if she couldnât have it good, neither could Cain Velman!
Michael Greeneâs impression of Zoe Silverstone wasnât very positive. He frowned slightly, âAlright, since you insist on making things clear here, go ahead.â
âFrom the organizers to us five judges, we have all followed the rules and acted fairly and impartially in this competition. We have a clear conscience and are not afraid of your doubts, â Wesley Gordon coldly stated.
âThe rules of this competition had flaws to begin with. It allowed the audience to vote, yet just now, I saw Pingla Groupâs Adrian Zhekova and his family members all voting for Cain Velman,â Zoe Silverstone said. âLetâs assume their votes were taken away from the audience.â
âMost of the audience went to Cain Velmanâs booth only after they saw Adrian and his family go there. They figured that if Adrian and his family were eating Cain Velmanâs food, naturally, they had to try it too.. In that case, how could
Cain Velmanâs vote count not be high?â
