Chapter 199 I’m Just an Outsider

Upon seeing Christopher’s nod, Andy immediately had a delighted look on his face. When he was about to ask someone to take Christopher to the dining hall, Luke suddenly jumped out and looked at Christopher beside him with a sullen look on his face. “President Dune, the dish Christopher made was definitely not Rainbow Scepter. Although I don’t know how he did it, I’m certain he pulled some tricks. I saw him doing practically nothing with my own eyes.” Everyone initially thought that everything was a done deal. But after hearing what Luke said, they had bizarre looks on their faces. That’s right. Christopher clearly didn’t do anything earlier. Something is wrong here. Luke’s right. “Yeah, President Dune. Luke’s right; Christopher clearly didn’t do anything and was even on his phone.” “Right! He wasn’t focused on cooking at all. Not only was he on his phone, he even took a nap!” “Exactly. All he did was toss a bunch of ingredients in the pot. He doesn’t have the kind of attitude a chef should have!” At the side, the chefs, who were feeling envious before, couldn’t suppress the urge to stand up and put in their thoughts now. The envious looks on their faces were undeniably obvious at this moment. On the other hand, Kevin furrowed his brows together. The Rainbow Scepter he tasted earlier was nothing like any of the Rainbow Scepters he had tasted in the past. It looked, smelled, and tasted good. Even as a five-star chef, he couldn’t find any flaws in it. Luke claiming that something was wrong with Christopher’s Rainbow Scepter was equivalent to saying that something was wrong with Kevin’s eyes, tongue, and nose. Your food can’t compare to his, so you’re publicly slandering him. I can’t accept this. With that thought in mind, Kevin suddenly scoffed and slammed against the table with his hand. This action made Luke delighted. It looks like Old Mr. Dune is furious now after hearing what I said. Christopher is done for. The other chefs also had smug expressions. They couldn’t accept Christopher’s way of cooking, but they were too afraid to speak out. Following in the lead of the head chef at Caesars Palace, they started to echo after one another. Meanwhile, Andy knew his father’s actions and demeanor like the back of his hand. Watching his father slam the table and look in Luke’s direction with a frown, he knew that his father was mad at Luke now. Likewise, Andy was also mad. Christopher’s cooking had cured his father’s illness. Forget being on his phone and sleeping; even if Christopher had been trashing the entire kitchen earlier, Andy still wouldn’t call him out for it. Even though he was on his phone and took a nap in the process of making this, he could make such a perfect Rainbow Scepter. What about you people? What can you do? Do you think I’m blind? Luke, you’re being too imprudent. When Christopher heard the remarks of the chefs and Luke, there wasn’t much of a change in his demeanor. Observing his surroundings, he smirked and waited for Kevin and Andy to say something. “Luke, don’t be so presumptuous. Don’t you think I know what Christopher’s Rainbow Scepter is like? Do I need you to tell me? He revived my father’s desire for gourmet food. Can you do that? Even if Christopher didn’t make Rainbow Scepter and had made a regular dish instead, as long as it can enable my father to enjoy gourmet food again, why does it matter? Are your speculations necessary?” He let out all the fury inside of him. The words he spoke were crude; he didn’t try to hide anything or show Luke any mercy.In an instant, Luke’s face grew pale. He thought that Andy was mad at Christopher and never thought that Andy would be mad at him instead. Placing his final hope in Kevin, he looked over and implored, “Old Mr. Dune, this—” “Shut up! Luke, didn’t you hear Andy? I am with him on this. Andy already made himself very clear, yet you’re still trying to use words to attack Christopher. Andy, I think we should cancel that collaboration project with the Kelley Family.” Kevin let out another scoff. The impatient look in his eyes became apparent once again as those merciless words left his mouth. At the same time, Luke felt a shiver down his spine, then he sat paralyzed on the floor. His pale face made him look like a white sheet. Luke was well aware that even though Andy managed the Dune Enterprise, he would obey anything Kevin said. At this moment, especially, the ending was pretty much determined now that the two were displeased with him at the same time. Once this collaboration project fell through, the Kelley Family’s plan to elevate their position in Brentwood City with the help of the Dune Family would also be over. Without the Dune Family, that project would be completely useless, and all the profit would cease to exist. Their family would suffer a huge loss. Luke felt a deep sense of regret. He was only coming to his senses now—his main purpose in coming here was to discuss the collaboration project with the Dunes, and not contend with Christopher. If he had lowered his head to Christopher earlier, everything would’ve been fine. It’s too late. It’s too late now. Christopher might not want to forgive Luke at all because of the way he mocked him earlier. Additionally, he had also sent someone to kill Christopher in the past. No one could ever mediate this situation. Just when he thought he didn’t have any hope left, he suddenly spotted Maya at the side, whereupon an ecstatic look spread across his face. That’s right. Maya and Christopher are friends. I can ask her for help. When Maya first said she wanted to come here to have a look, he agreed for the Kelley Family’s sake. It seemed like some good came out of his decision. Rushing up to Maya, he tugged at her T-shirt and urged, “Maya, could you help me appease Christopher? As long as he’s able to keep President Dune on this project with me, I’m willing to accept any of his demands—money, women, and even admitting that my culinary skills are no match to his.”Upon hearing his plea, she looked slightly hesitant. The situation before them was clear to everyone. It was also very difficult for her to be stuck between Christopher and Luke. Glancing at him, she was reminded of how he normally treated her very well. Then, she bit her lip and had a resolute look on her face. Turning over to look at Christopher, she implored, “Christopher, Luke is also in a tough position, so can you—” “Sorry, Miss Maya. This is a matter between the Dunes and Kelleys. I’m just an outsider, so I can’t interfere.” Before Maya could finish speaking, Christopher let out a scoff. Luke, aren’t you a little immature for asking a woman to speak out on this matter? Did you think I would feel sorry for you? What a joke!
