Chapter 124 - 124: It’s Just a Resemblance, Right?
Morgan Clarke, of course, could tell the hidden meaning behind Peggy Lewis’s words.
He kicked his short legs twice, and then glanced at Adrian Zhekova’s long legs in front of him.
With a heart full of envy, he asked Peggy, “What is it?”
“What’s going on with Cindy and Adrian Zhekova?” Peggy whispered, “Have they always been like this?”
Morgan looked at Cindy Clarke and Adrian Zhekova, and nodded, “And recently, Uncle has been coming to see us a lot.”
Morgan leaned in closer to Peggy’s ear and said softly, “Also, Uncle asked me to call him Papa. I think he wants to chase after Cindy.”
Peggy smiled and patted his little head, “Calling him Papa isn’t a loss, and he can support you.”
Morgan actually thought so too, “I’m just afraid that he’ll take advantage of
Cindy.”
“With you around, how could he take advantage? If he really likes Cindy, he’s quite good, you should stop blocking, give them a chance,” Peggy advised. How could their relationship develop if this little guy kept blocking them?
“Well… I’ll think about it.” Morgan whispered.
Before they knew it, they arrived outside the competition venue.
Some competitors were already waiting, so Morgan hurriedly let Peggy put him down.
Cindy had already put on her mask, went to the registration desk to sign up, and got her name tag stuck on her clothes for the judges to recognize.
All ten people in their group had already arrived.
There were still 15 minutes left before the previous round ended.
Cindy looked around and noticed that Zoe Silverstone wasn’t in her group.
If Zoe Silverstone passed the auditions, they wouldn’t meet until the preliminary round.
Among the other nine competitors, some also brought family members and friends to cheer them on, but none brought as many people as Cindy did.
Three of the competitors came alone, they had traveled to Belfard to participate in the competition.
It was quite costly, so it wasn’t convenient for them to bring family or friends along.
The three lone competitors gathered together to chat.
“See that girl with the mask, and the man who came with her, why does he look familiar?”
The Cooking Competition was organized by Pingla Group, so naturally, the competitors had a certain understanding of the Pingla Group.
“I feel like… he looks like Adrian Zhekova, CEO of Pingla Group,” another competitor whispered.
They were afraid of meeting the real person and being overheard.
“No way! It must be just a resemblance!” Another person took a deep breath,
“How big would their connections be to have Adrian Zhekova himself accompany them to the competition?”
“Yeah, if it were the finals or something, it would make sense, but this is just the auditions.”
“It’s probably just that people can look similar.”
Everyone guessed like this, but even though they said so, their hearts were still unsure.
What if it’s true?
He did look like the photos!
They hadn’t seen Adrian Zhekova in person, just caught a glimpse of his photos once or twice.
So when they saw him in person, they really couldn’t tell.
Someone with more courage stealthily took a picture of Adrian.
At this time, the competition time was up, and the competitors from the previous round came out.
Some people looked relaxed, some were full of confidence, while others had a
look of dejection..
