Lana sneered with her head down. "You're the one who doesn't know how to appreciate food. If you don't believe me, go ahead and ask the others. See what they have to say.""This young lady makes a good point. The hawthorn sauce is too sweet, especially when paired with the already fatty foie gras. It might taste pleasant at first, but it becomes cloying after a while. Just look, hardly any of us are reaching for a second piece."Yves was the one who spoke, a renowned international chef in his younger years. After retiring, he had been involved in various culinary-related activities. He was also one of the judges on the recent popular TV show "Chef King Championship", so he was invited as an honored guest alongside Eric tonight.Tonight, he was the only one qualified to comment on the chef's culinary skills.After Yve's words, the others nodded in agreement. It was indeed true that the hawthorn sauce outside the foie gras was overly sweet, and eating too much of it became unpleasa

Olivia had intended to challenge Lana, but she was taken aback when Lana proposed a bet."What? Backing down now?" Lana's demeanor turned aggressive, her beautiful face etched with disdain. "Apologize to Chef Alan for your ignorance right now."Olivia, the only daughter of the Sockman family, had been sheltered by her parents and older brothers since childhood. When had she ever faced such humiliation?"Why should I apologize?" Olivia continued to argue defiantly. "I haven't done anything wrong!""Yes, you have!" Lana fired back. "Mr. Wheeler established these private dining restaurants to share exquisite cuisine. "You've attended many special banquets like tonight's, yet you couldn't even identify the ingredients. Tell me, haven't you done something wrong?"Lana's argument was compelling, leaving Olivia speechless.However, what crushed Olivia was Eric's statement."If you can't distinguish between paprika and herbs, Olivia, you should apologize to Chef Alan," Eric said."Er

Lana bluntly refused, "Sorry, I don't want your money."Jennifer sneered, "You're actually taking it seriously?"Jennifer was convinced that Lana was actually an idiot. "You're overthinking it. First of all, you should at least have a luxurious penthouse like the one shown in the video.Lana thought it was not worth wasting her time talking to someone not on her level.Neither Eric nor Lana spoke to Jennifer, so she could only quietly gaze at the passing scenery beyond the window.As Jennifer looked at the scenery outside, she felt something was amiss. Eric was driving straight to the city center. However, they all lived in the mountainous villa area. He should be driving on the road heading toward the mountain instead."Eric, are you going the wrong way?"Eric responded curtly, "No."Jennifer, who felt more anxious, asked, "But isn't this way to the city center? If we take the wrong way, it'll take us a long time to reach home."Lana interjected, "I'm sorry, but I don't thi

A wave of panic washed over Carol.She nervously asked, "What's wrong, Mr. Liam?"A hint of disappointment flickered in Liam's eyes as he replied, "Nothing, I'm heading back."Chris and Carol exchanged puzzled glances as Liam left without even touching his food."Mr. Liam, I made this myself. The taste is exactly the same as it was back then. Are you sure you don't want to try it?"Liam's tall, upright figure had almost reached the garden gate, but he suddenly spoke up upon hearing this."Are you sure it's really the same as it was back then?"Carol's lips quivered, and her vision blurred, causing her to almost faint on the spot. "Ms. Clark, Liam …" Chris was torn. In the end, he could only follow Liam and leave the Clark Residence.As Carol watched Liam's car drive away, a sense of utter helplessness settled in."Carol, why did Mr. Liam leave all of a sudden?" Zekere hurriedly asked Carol when he found her. He continued, "He left so suddenly. What about our guests? What a

"Don't be rude!" Violet said and shielded Lana behind her. She added, "Lana is a natural beauty. She doesn't need to use as many facial products as you do."Cherry was rendered speechless. How could her own grandmother defend someone else while insulting her? When Lana had been with the Kane family last time, Cherry had bullied her a lot, and Violet had noticed everything. Violet said, "Lana, don't be afraid. No one can bully you as long as I'm here."Cherry knew nobody could touch Lana when Violet was there, so she could only wait and see what Lana was up to! Lana had never eaten a single meal with the Kanes at the dining table. However, here she was after Liam divorced her. While Lana was thinking about how life was full of the unexpected, the servants served breakfast. Breakfast at the Kane Manor was obviously lavish.There were grilled vegetables, pesto pasta, and bread pudding. Even so, Cherry was still dissatisfied. She yelled, "Where's the chef? I want to see him.
