_1 “The sweet, crisp skin of the mung beans dissolves as soon as it is in your mouth.

The strong rose flavor of the rose hip jam inside lingers, making for a captivating ending,” Hunter Clarke nodded.

Charles Dean was more straightforward: “I’ve always liked Chinese pastries, which are totally different from Western ones, each with its own charm.

However, Chinese pastries are more exquisite in shape, delicate in texture, and the range of ingredients used is wider.

I’ve always admired this.”

After all ten contestants’ cuisines were finished, the judges had tried them all.

...

Having concluded the final Chinese pastry scoring round, the scoring result was placed in the box and locked away.

Grace Green returned to the stage.

“All the competitions are over for today,” Grace Green said, “Today’s competition had many dishes, took a long time, and was exhausting for the contestants, the audience, and the judges.”

“Now, here, I want to express my gratitude to the contestants, the audience, and the judges,” Grace Green said.

“Okay, let’s cut the small talk, let’s announce the contestants’ scores right now.

I think both the contestants and the audience are getting impatient,” Grace Green smiled.

“First, let’s announce the scores for the soup cuisine,” Grace Green said.

Grace Green said, “Please, staff, bring out the ballot box.”

Once the staff had checked and organized everything on-site, each type of cuisine was classified and organized.

Now Grace Green was holding six envelopes in her hand.

“What I’m holding now are the results of the first round of the soup competition,” Grace Green said.

“First, let’s see how Wesley Gordon scored,” Grace Green said.

“Bartholomew Bailey, 8.5 points.”

“Daniel Vahn, 8.5 points.”

“Cynthia Florine, 8.4 points.”

“Jasmine Hudson, 8.6 points.”

“Gladys Joy, 8.3 points.”

“Parker Honi, 8.8 points.”

“Aiden Huxley, 8.5 points.”

“Cindy Clarke, 8.8 points.”

“Yannick O’Brian, 8.7 points.”

“Leon Hernandez, 8.5 points.”

When Grace Green finished announcing, the scores were projected on the screen for the audience to witness.

“It seems that the judges’ demands have been high in the finals.

Not a single contestant reached 9 points this time,” Grace Green said.

“At present, the highest scores are from the contestants Parker Honi and Cindy Clarke, both with 8.8 points.

The runner-up is Yannick O’Brian, with 8.7 points,” Grace Green said.

“The scores Wesley Gordon gave to the contestants are very close,” Grace Green said, “Now, let’s see how Hunter Clarke scored.”

“Bartholomew Bailey, 8.6 points.”

“Daniel Vahn, 8.6 points.”

“Cynthia Florine, 8.5 points.”

“Jasmine Hudson, 8.5 points.”

“Gladys Joy, 8.4 points.”

“Parker Honi, 8.9 points.”

“Aiden Huxley, 8.5 points.”

“Cindy Clarke, 8.8 points.”

“Yannick O’Brian, 8.6 points.”

“Leon Hernandez, 8.6 points.”

After the original score sheet of Hunter Clarke was projected onto the big screen, the real-time summary of each contestant’s scores appeared on the side.

This made it easier for the audience to see the current ranking of the contestants.

“As we can see, so far the contestant with the highest total score is Parker Honi, but Cindy Clarke is very close behind.

The difference between the two is only 0.1 points,” Grace Green said.

“This is too tense,” a member of the audience said.

“I didn’t expect that Cindy Clarke would fall behind at this point, it seems a bit precarious for her.”

“Not necessarily, even if Cindy Clarke is behind in this round, there are still scores for the remaining cuisines.”

“And the third contestant, Yannick O’Brian, currently has a total of 17.3 points, which is 0.3 and 0.4 points behind Cindy Clarke and Parker Honi, respectively,” Grace Green said.

“Okay, now let’s look at Chef Michael Greene’s scores,” Grace Green said.

“Bartholomew Bailey, 8.5 points.”

“Daniel Vahn, 8.4 points.”

“Cynthia Florine, 8.3 points.”

“Jasmine Hudson, 8.3 points.”

“Gladys Joy, 8.2 points.”

“Parker Honi, 8.8 points.”

“Aiden Huxley, 8.4 points.”

“Cindy Clarke, 8.9 points.”

“Yannick O’Brian, 8.7 points.”

“Leon Hernandez, 8.7 points.”

“She caught up!” Peggy Lewis stared at the changing score rankings on the screen, unconsciously clutching the arm of Lyke Zhekova next to her, “They’re tied!”

Lyke Zhekova was taken aback, lowering his head to see an additional pure white hand on his wrist.

Peggy Lewis’s finger was clean and without any accessories.

It looked refreshing in its pure whiteness.

The only adornment on her wrist was a jade bracelet.

The bracelet was of a rice-jelly like quality, the base was greenish white like glutinous rice and even though jade is very hard, it had a soft vibe to it.

Floats of blue-green flowers adorned the greenish-white base.

It was apparent that she had been wearing this bracelet for a long time, the well-nourished texture was something new bracelets lacked.

Bracelets with this texture and clarity don’t come cheap, Lyke Zhekova could identify them but had no idea of the price for this specific texture.

Usually, if he wanted to buy, someone would recommend a set for him to choose from.

The options given to him were naturally top-tier.

It’s the type of products that have a price but no market.

Indeed, there’s a price, but it is unavailable to most buyers.

While it’s officially obtainable, good quality stock usually ends up in the hands of significant patrons.

Ordinary people, even with money, were unable to buy them.

Lyke Zhekova looked down, thinking the bracelet seemed to bring out the whiteness of her wrist even more.

Under the bracelet’s enhancement, Peggy Lewis’s wrist seemed even whiter.

Lyke Zhekova was even curious if her hand would glow under the moonlight?

For a moment, Lyke Zhekova was entranced.

It was only when he saw Lyke Zhekova looking at his wrist that Peggy Lewis realized that she had impulsively reached out and grabbed his wrist.

Lyke Zhekova kept staring, surely he found her unexplainable!

Peggy Lewis quickly let go, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I …

I forgot …”

Lyke Zhekova raised an eyebrow, “You forgot?”

“Did you forget that I am by your side?” Lyke Zhekova’s voice seemed filled with frustration.

Was he so insignificant to her?

Peggy Lewis:”…”

She did indeed discern that Lyke Zhekova’s mood didn’t seem too pleasant.

But Peggy Lewis didn’t know that Lyke Zhekova was less pleased because she had forgotten about his presence.

Peggy Lewis thought his inexplicable behavior was likely due to her abruptness.

After all, they were not familiar with each other, and she suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist.

This behavior did indeed seem pretty eccentric.

Should Lyke Zhekova have a character that’s not easily approachable, he would indeed be displeased by this.

Peggy Lewis was quite understanding.

She didn’t think too much about it.

For instance, she was taking advantage of Lyke Zhekova.

Peggy Lewis didn’t have that kind of thought.

She was a woman, how could she take advantage of him, a grown man?

She was not that unscrupulous.

While at this time, on stage, Charles Dean and Rosaline Parker had finished giving scores.

When Peggy Lewis looked again, only the real-time cumulative score rankings remained on the screen.
