Chapter 772: 772: Public Disclosure

“Are you afraid?” Adrian Zhekova asked her.

Cindy Clarke shook her head without any hesitation: “Not afraid.”

“Ever since I participated in the competition, there has never been a lack of negative comments.” Cindy said, “As long as I know that I have achieved my ranking on my own merits, that’s enough.”

“Whether it’s getting first place or just making the top ten.” Cindy continued.

She knew that once it went public, no matter what ranking she achieved, people would have something to say.

If she got first place, she would undoubtedly be accused of relying on Adrian Zhekova.

But if she didn’t get first place, some people might say she was too afraid to get it in order to avoid suspicion.

Deliberately choosing a neither high nor low position, to appear fair.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Anyway, no matter what, some people would always find something negative to say.

“If that’s the case, why don’t we go public and stop worrying about other people’s feelings?” Cindy smiled, “It’s our wedding, and it has nothing to do with others. We should be happy on our own terms, without worrying about irrelevant opinions.”

“Besides, even if we don’t make it public now, we will eventually. Our wedding can’t be delayed for too long.”

Old Madam and Victoria Wheeler had discussed it, intending to set their wedding to take place six months later.

This half-year was for preparation.

From the wedding dress to other wedding-related matters.

Arrangements for the wedding ceremony.

Ordinary people’s weddings depend on the availability of the hotel’s banquet hall, so they have to wait for a long time.

But they don’t have to.

The venue will always be reserved for their wedding at the hotel.

Whenever they need it, it’s available.

It will definitely cater to their needs first.

The reason for the half-year preparation time is that the elders want the wedding to be as well-organized as possible.

There are many details to be finalized.

The wedding bouquet will be sourced from the most famous region.

There are many other details as well.

To make it perfect, they need to prepare for a longer time.

After all, marriage is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and so is the wedding ceremony.

They don’t know about others, but for Adrian and Cindy, it’s definitely a one-time event.

They want their wedding photos and videos to still be moving when they look back at them many years later.

Looking back on the wedding, they would smile nostalgically.

“By that time, malicious people will still come up with their nasty guesses.” Cindy said, “Besides, with Morgan’s age, we can’t possibly say that our relationship was confirmed because of the Cooking Competition, right?”

No one would really believe that.

Instead, people might think they were taking others for fools.

“Since that’s the case, I think it’s the same whether we announce it sooner or later.” Cindy said, “After all, we have nothing to be guilty of. Even if people criticize me and question me, let them do it. A few words from them won’t take away a piece of my flesh. What’s the worst they can do to me?”

“I have your support, and I’m not afraid of anything. If I’m really criticized, so what? I won’t suffer any losses.” Cindy’s remark was a sign of confidence.

Even if she were criticized to the point of being unable to continue in the industry, it wouldn’t matter.

She’s not Zoe Silverstone.

No one would want to ban her.

With Adrian’s support, it would not be easy to eliminate her.

If Zoe hadn’t been blacklisted by Adrian, she could have returned to the food blogger circle with fans supporting her and continued her career.

So, even if she couldn’t continue in the culinary industry.

Returning to being a food blogger, her fans would still support her.

Taking a step back, even if things got to the worst point where she couldn’t even be a food blogger anymore.

Wouldn’t she still have Adrian Zhekova?

She wouldn’t starve.

At most, she wouldn’t achieve her initial dream.

But, preparing cuisine for family members would be the same.

She could still enjoy the happiness of cooking.

This wasn’t considered a great loss for her.

So, Cindy’s mentality is very good.

She felt that this was probably what it meant to be fearless.

She looked at Adrian Zhekova with a smile and asked, “What do you think?”

“If you don’t care, then I care even less.” Adrian’s eyes were unusually bright.

He was truly happy that Cindy had no hesitation in wanting to go public.

He naturally wanted everyone to know that she was his wife.

He wanted to protect her under his own wings openly and honestly.

He wanted everyone to know that the person standing behind her was him.

Whoever wanted to do her harm had better think twice.

But such feelings were not easy to express without any burdens.

Because as soon as it went public, although he would be happy.

Cindy would have to face many questions.

Adrian didn’t want to do that to her.

Cindy understood Adrian’s concerns all along.

If he weren’t worried about her being swallowed up by keyboard warriors, he wouldn’t have so many concerns.

As an internet celebrity blogger, Cindy had experienced her share of these issues.

There were always other issues, regardless of this one.

There were smear campaigns from competitors, disputes between fans that escalated to involve her personally.

There were also some malicious speculations and random blame from bystanders.

However, Cindy also knew that compared to the accusations and malicious speculations that were about to flood in after going public, what she had experienced in the past was nothing.

After revealing her relationship with Adrian, the negative comments she would face would be much greater.

But at least she knew what the situation was like.

She also estimated the scale of the situation she would face.

She was mentally prepared and knew what she would be up against.

Therefore, she wasn’t afraid.

She had made her preparations and had thought it through.

“Besides, even without the competition, and even if we make our relationship public later, there will always be something else to talk about.” Cindy said.

“As long as I continue to put myself out there and pursue my career, there will always be people talking. Especially since you are involved in the catering business, you can obviously provide a great deal of help for me.”

“If I keep a low profile and don’t achieve anything, people will say that even with your strong backing, I still can’t achieve anything, like a useless person.”

“But if I do achieve something, people will say that it’s because of your support that I could achieve it. Even if it were someone else, even someone who knows nothing about cooking, with your support, they could be turned into a culinary master.”

“Isn’t it the same as the Cooking Competition? No matter my results, there will always be comments.” Cindy laughed.

Her laughter contained no hint of gloom or worry.

“So, no matter when we go public, people will always have something to say.” Cindy said, “I’ve actually been thinking about this for a while.”

“I thought, since there will always be people talking no matter when.”
