Chapter 116
Cynthia had perfected this move of retreating in order to advance.
Not only did she lower her head in front of Daniel and act pitifully to make him feel guilty towards her,
but she also created an image of herself being infatuated and forbearing in front of everyone.
As the successor of the Smith Cuisine Hall, she must master excellent culinary skills, but her character,
image, and conduct were also of great importance.
As expected, seeing Cynthia like this, some customers, who were anxious for justice, soon could not
stand it anymore and criticized Daniel.
“Are you still a man? How could you treat Chef Brown coldly without forethought? Do you know that it
was the woman beside you who started it? She was the one who bullied Chef Brown!”
The man was filled with righteous indignation. As he was a small business owner, not at the level of
Daniel, he did not know Daniel at all.
When Cynthia heard this, a trace of smugness flashed across her eyes. She lowered her head,
pretended she was hurt, and was about to dissuade the man. “There’s no need to say anything. It’s all
my fault. I made Ms.Taylor dissatisfied. I’m not good enough at cooking.”
As she spoke, she smiled sadly. It seemed like she was self–deprecating and helpless at the same
time. “I didn’t expect that anyone could actually insult me although I have learned how to cook for 20
years. My hands. were covered in scars and all nights were spent learning culinary skills. and I won
many competition gold awards.”She muttered in a low voice,
After she finished speaking, her body trembled slightly as if she could not take it anymore.
In this spacious and antique–looking hall where she stood, her figure looked so slender as if she was a
delicate and weak flower that couldn’t withstand the violent wind, which made people pity her.
Finally, no one on the spot could stand it anymore.
“Mr. Sullivan, you have to be reasonable. Everyone here knows who’s right and who’s wrong. You can’t

“A man’s magnanimousness lies in his open mind and clear distinction between right and wrong. We

and we won’t care. But if you don’t know what’s good for you and take advantage of Chef Brown’s
feelings for you to bully her, such a weak woman, we definitely won’t tolerate it, even if we’re weak and
can’t compare to the Sullivan family!”
From the beginning until now, Olivia had been sitting on the chair leisurely. No matter how everyone
discussed and slandered Daniel, she didn’t react. It was only when she heard the old man’s words that
she slowly looked up.
Her clear and light gaze sized up everyone and then she chuckled. Hearing her laughter, everyone was
stunned and furious. This woman was really arrogant. At a time like this, she still dared to laugh. She
really did not take everyone seriously.
The old man was even more determined and he directly questioned. “What are you laughing at?”
Olivia casually placed her left arm on the table and her right elbow on the tabletop. Her fingers casually
pointed at the camera in the corner of the ceiling. Her voice was faint, which seemed to be mocking,
but also seemed to be stating the truth.
“Are you bullying me because you have the advantage in numbers? I didn’t do anything from the very
beginning. I only said a few words. Don’t tell me that I don’t even have the right to judge the dishes as a
customer! Or are you bullying people overbearingly and you don’t allow others to have different
opinions? Don’t allow others to say that the dishes are not good? There are cameras here. They record
it very clearly.” As she spoke, her gaze wandered slowly and indifferently toward Cynthia.
Feeling Olivia’s gaze on her, Cynthia felt a chill in her heart for some reason. She suddenly had a bad
feeling and wanted to stop Olivia from speaking.
However, before she could stop her, Olivia had already started. “The top chefs did not stop the diners
from judging the food. They even humbly asked the diners what they were dissatisfied with. I don’t
know where this Chef Brown came from. She can’t stand a single judgment!”
Olivia paused for a short while and then her tone suddenly became sharp. Her aura completely
changed, as if a thousand pounds were pressing down and a storm was coming.
She glanced at everyone coldly. “Everyone here prides themselves on

being righteous and is anxious to stand up for justice when I only judged the soup and not the person. I
didn’t even say anything overboard, nor did I slander Chef Brown herself. But you directly attacked me,
slandered me, maliciously speculated about me, and even distorted the truth. What a strong and
unyielding righteous person!” She said in a disdainful tone. These words were like a downpour,
instantly waking everyone up. Whether it was the old man or the man who spoke first, all of them.
blushed and were extremely embarrassed. After all, Olivia had only said This soup is not good, while
they, who prided themselves on being righteous, had spouted all kinds of dirty words and even said
that Olivia and dogs were not allowed to enter.
How ridiculous!
Most of them were rational and immediately reflected on themselves when they heard what Olivia had
said.
However, some stubborn people refused to admit it.
“What right do you have to say that the soup made by Chef Brown is not good?” They questioned and
asked Olivia.
Olivia was puzzled, her long and narrow phoenix–style eyes widening in confusion, her pupils clear like
a clear spring.
She was very puzzled. “This soup is not good itself.” The heat was too high and one of the ingredients
had been added too late. Besides, there was a little too much salt… It was simply contradictory
everywhere. Couldn’t they tell?
The interrogator seemed to have caught Olivia in the act and laughed proudly. “Look, you admit it,
right? You deliberately found trouble with Chef Brown. You’re just a bad person who bullied her. Chef

Moreover, this soup is good for health. You said that the soup is bad for no reason, and you still dare to
say that it’s not slander!”
Upon hearing this, Olivia was even more baffled. She frowned as if she was surprised. “This soup is
indeed not good. Can’t you tell?”
The interrogator sneered. “Which part did it taste not good? I think you’re making trouble on purpose!”
Cynthia’s expression was also unchanged. Although she wanted to show weakness in front of Daniel, it
did not mean that she could tolerate
others criticizing her culinary skills.
She learned how to cook when she was a child and was her master’s proudest disciple. She was also
the future successor of the Smith Cuisine Hall What right did Olivia have to say that her soup was not
good?
At this point, she was already furious. She didn’t care about Daniel that much. She only wanted to
make things clear with Olivia.
She took a step forward and looked at Olivia with a serious expression. “It’s not that I didn’t accept the
criticism. Indeed, my culinary skills can’t compare to my Master’s, but that doesn’t mean that anyone
can humiliate me and criticize me!”
Cynthia looked cold, and her tone was firm. She completely put away her pretense of being delicate
and weak and looked straight at Olivia. She just wanted to defend herself.
If you really think the soup is not good, then point it out, so that I’ll be convinced
As soon as she finished speaking, the crowd cheered. Everyone was impressed by her boldness and
felt that this was the style of a famous chef. She was neither servile nor overbearing. She was totally
upright in her temperament.
She faced up to the criticism but at the same time deserved praise.
