Chapter 231: Chapter 231: The Result

After all 10 of them had tasted the dishes, they discussed in low voices.
After the discussion, Parker Honi came forward to speak on behalf of the 10 people.
“After our discussion, we have reached a conclusion,” Parker Honi said, “Simply tasting Cain Velman’s dish is not enough to show the result, so we decide to taste the dishes of the top three together. It seems that Zoe Silverstone has no objection against the results of the second and third place.”
“So, if Cain Velman’s cuisine is better than the second and third place, I believe Zoe Silverstone would have no complaints,” Parker Honi said.
“Therefore, our conclusion is that Cain Velman is undoubtedly the first place. After tasting the dishes of the second and third place, all 10 of us have unanimously chosen Cain Velman’s cuisine,” Parker Honi spoke without fear of offending anyone.
“I think the Five judges may have made their choices based on different perspectives. However, it is also possible that they did it to maintain balance. They felt that if all five of them chose Cain Velman, it would be a bit unbalanced, so they had to distribute two votes to the other two contestants. But at least from our perspective, Cain Velman’s cuisine is far superior to the second and third place.”
“You are students of the Pingla Academy, and among the judges, there are two teachers from the Pingla Academy. Naturally, you are afraid of offending them, so you choose Cain Velman!” Zoe Silverstone had something to say again.
Gladys Joy couldn’t help laughing: “Come on, you. As long as the result isn’t what you want, you can’t accept it, right? Then it doesn’t matter who you ask to judge. Regardless of which chef you invite, as long as they are from the industry, they will inevitably have some connections with the Five Judges and the Pingla Group. Everyone in this industry will have some relationship.”
“According to your logic, as long as there is a connection with the judges and the Pingla Group, the judgment might be unfair. In that case, you might not be able to find a judge who meets your requirements even if you look all over the world. Even on a global scale, almost everyone has cooperated with Pingla,” Gladys Joy said coldly.
“Moreover, the two judges from Pingla Academy, Teacher Clarke voted for Cain Velman, and Teacher Gordon voted for Larry Bennett. If you say we chose Cain Velman to please the judges and not to offend them, but since the two teachers’ votes differ, no matter who we vote for, we are denying one of the teachers’ choices and offending one of them, right?” Gladys Joy said coldly.
“Of course, the Five Judges are not as narrow-minded as you,” Gladys Joy added, “Do you think any little disagreement would warrant holding a grudge?
Do you think everyone is like you?”
“You!” Zoe Silverstone was about to retort angrily.
At this moment, Larry Bennett and Natalie Campbell stepped forward.
Natalie Campbell said, “We would like to try Cain Velman’s skewers, is that okay?”
“Sure,” Michael Greene nodded.
Natalie Campbell and Larry Bennett then went over.
Both of them took a small bite of each kind.
Afterward, Larry Bennett said, “I admit defeat. Mine is indeed not as good as Cain Velman’s.”
“I also admit defeat,” Natalie Campbell turned to the judges, “After tasting it, I realized that my skill is still far behind Cain Velman.”
Larry Bennett smiled, “Originally, I thought Cain Velman’s 11th place at the auditions might have some elements of luck, that the topic just happened to be suitable for her.. She is a food blogger, and I was a bit prejudiced, thinking that she couldn’t possibly be better than us, the formally trained chefs with years of experience, right?”
