NOVPUBChapter 893: Chapter 893: We Will Retain the Right to Prosecute_1 Chapter 893: Chapter 893: We Will Retain the Right to Prosecute_1 “I respect and admire them, for being able to stick to the original intent and principles of the major competition under such circumstances.
At the same time, I have greater contempt for behaviors that disregard fairness and justice.”
“Being a judge, you should uphold fairness and justice of the major competition, be accountable to the audience present, to the contestants, and to the dedication of the staff at the competition.
It isn’t right to destroy all this out of personal gains, causing the efforts of so many people to be squandered.”
“Months of hard work have been ruined at this very moment!” Grace Green exclaimed.
The frustration and unwillingness in the audience were ignited by Grace Green’s words.
“Exactly!
We all want a perfect ending!”
“Give us back the final round!”
“Jenny Kirk, apologize!”
“Jenny Kirk, step down!”
Listening to Grace Green’s words, Jenny Kirk’s face darkened.
She didn’t expect that Green, as a host, who was supposed to defuse the situation and manage the scene, would openly express discontent towards her.
...
Although Green didn’t mention any names, her words were as good as naming names!
Moreover, her words ignited the crowd!
Now hearing the increasing waves of boos and eviction calls from the grandstand,
Jenny Kirk’s mental strength was barely holding up.
Her hands were initially resting on the table, now her fingertips pressed into the desktop, sliding slowly over it, clenching into fists.
She almost got up to leave.
However, Grace Green did not care about her at all.
Does Jenny Kirk thinks she can’t stay here anymore?
Why doesn’t she think about Cindy Clarke, who was continuously scored low by her vindictively?
Why doesn’t she think of other competitors who took the upper hand but didn’t feel glorious about it?
Why doesn’t she think of the staff members who have worked hard for this competition for several months?
The competition that was going smoothly was ruined by a rotten apple in the final round.
How could this not infuriate people!
All of this was caused by Jenny Kirk!
Now she can’t sit still, she’s furious?
What was she doing earlier!
Grace Green lost her temper, too.
At this point, she announced, “Now, let’s announce the result of the vegetarian cuisine.”
This round, Jenny Kirk, as expected, gave Cindy Clarke a score of 3.5.
Everyone else got around 7.
Parker Honi still had the highest score, 7.4.
The scoring for desserts.
Jenny Kirk gave Clarke a 3.2.
The scoring for Chinese pastries.
Jenny Kirk gave Clarke a 3.3.
If out of a total of 10 points, 6 is considered passing,
The scores Jenny Kirk gave to Clarke in every round, didn’t even meet the passing score.
If you were to say Clarke’s dishes were not tasty or not suited to her taste, and therefore gave her low scores,
The audience could accept that.
But if she even didn’t achieve a passing grade, even Clarke’s haters felt this was too outrageous.
No matter what, with Clarke’s skills, she wouldn’t fail.
“Such a damn mess!”
“Absolutely disgusting!”
“Jenny Kirk, you’re not worthy!”
“One good competition, ruined by you!”
“Kick Jenny Kirk out, don’t calculate her scores!
We won’t blame the organizer!”
The audience voiced their opinions this way.
However, in the end, the ranking was conducted based on the total score of all judges.
Displayed on the big screen, Parker Honi came in first.
Cindy Clarke came in last.
However, all the contestants, not just Clarke, but from Parker Honi down to Cynthia Florine, all had grim expressions, without a hint of joy.
“Now, the results are out.” Grace Green said, “The champion of this Pingla Culinary Competition is…”
“Wait a moment.” Before Grace Green could announce it, Parker Honi interrupted her.
Everyone turned their attention to Honi.
To facilitate the communication between contestants and judges, so that the audience can hear them,
All the contestants have microphones pinned at their collar.
Now, without the need of a loudspeaker, Parker Honi’s voice was loud enough for everyone at the venue and those watching online to hear.
Everyone turned their attention to Honi.
“I am unworthy of this championship,” Honi said.
“This competition, everyone knows that it was judged under extremely unfair conditions,” Honi said, “I refuse to win in such a dishonorable way.”
“If Clarke’s scores were fair, I shouldn’t be the second,” Leon Hernandez said.
“I shouldn’t be the third either,” Yannick O’Brian said.
“I shouldn’t be in my current ranking either,” Jasmine Hudson said, “All of us should move down a spot.”
“If Jenny Kirk’s scores were excluded, I should be the second,” Honi said.
The audience didn’t expect that Honi would just bluntly say it like that.
He faced his score so openly.
“To achieve first place in this manner, was not what I wanted,” Honi said.
“However, this is the rule,” a voice sounded.
It was Adrian Zhekova’s voice.
Everyone turned their gaze towards him.
They saw Adrian Zhekova getting up and proceeding to the stage.
“As we have emphasized from the beginning, nobody’s special status or relationships will allow the competition to lose its fairness,” Adrian Zhekova said.
“Therefore, while I was watching from the stage, despite knowing that it is unfair to Clarke, despite knowing that it is unjust to her, I didn’t halt the competition, nor disqualify Jenny Kirk’s scores.
“Because, these are the rules,” Adrian Zhekova said.
“The competition established these rules, and we must adhere to them, not shifting them according to personal will,” Adrian Zhekova said, “This is not our personal competition, not a competition where you can arbitrarily and randomly change the rules as you please.”
“We have made promises, and we must honor them, not let down the trust of our audience,” Adrian Zhekova said.
“But, as Jenny Kirk has disrupted the normal order of this final match, disrupted the principle of fairness of this competition, we reserve the right to take action against her,” Adrian Zhekova added.
“Ms.
Jenny Kirk, representing the organizer of the International Chef Competition, came here with the authority of the organizer of the International Culinary Competition asking her to serve as a judge.
We will report the performance of Jenny Kirk in this competition to the International Culinary Competition as well as the International Chefs Association.”
“Pingla needs an explanation from the organizer of the International Culinary Competition, is this the representative they sent, is this the sixth judge they insisted on stuffing in.
Was it to ruin our competition?
To disrupt our contest?”
“If Jenny Kirk here can represent the organizer of the International Culinary Competition, then can I assume that the International Culinary Competition itself is no longer worthy of our trust, has lost its fairness and reliability, and has lost its authority!”
“The representative sent by the organizer of the International Culinary Competition freely gave evaluations, ignoring facts, for an unknown reason, for selfish motives that she could not verbalize, arbitrarily manipulated the contestants’ scores and rankings.”
