Chapter 412
After Elowen had finished her culinary masterpiece, it was time for the judges to cast their votes.
One by one, the judges raised their scorecards, unanimously giving a perfect ten!
Out of the ten judges present, nine had given a full score, while one, Lysander, had yet to voice his
opinion.
Elowen’s bright sparkling eyes turned to Lysander. She was waiting for his score.
Coincidentally, Lysander was also looking at her. For a moment, their gazes met, one mature and one
innocent.
Thalassa, witnessing the other nine judges scoring Elowen a perfect ten, couldn’t help but feel elated.
However, the score she was most concerned about was Lysander’s.

Elowen, with her soft innocent eyes, was staring at Lysander, who returned her gaze with his deep
thoughtful eyes.

As time ticked away, Elowen and Lysander continued their silent eye contact. It was as if they were old
friends, communicating without words.
Thalassa’s anxiety grew.
Just as Thalassa’s heartbeat was about to explode from the tension, Elowen broke into a radiant smile,
her dimples deepening and her eyes sparkling like sunlight reflected in a clear stream. Her smile
seemed to bloom like a flower, innocent and pure.-
Lysander was taken aback by her smile. It felt as if a flower had suddenly bloomed in his heart, his
guarded heart seemed to be illuminated by her smile.
The feeling was more gratifying than signing a multi-billion dollar deal.
Finally, Lysander wrote down Elowen’s score on his card and lifted it up for everyone to see.
“Ten points! She’s a genius!”
At the sight of the score, the audience gasped in awe.
Thalassa’s heart leaped for joy, and her anxiety was replaced by pure excitement. She was so excited
that she almost joined the audience in their astonishment. Hertha, watching from the audience, stood
up excitedly and cheered, “Oh, Elowen, my little darling, you’re amazing!”

a miracle for our Gourmet Competition. This is the first time
in the history of our competition that a contestant has received a perfect score! Congratulations to our

Then, the host turned to Elowen and asked, “Elowen, now that you are the champion, would you like to
share your feelings at this moment with us?”
Elowen, utterly unfazed by the excitement, replied, “I’m very happy. I want to thank my mom for her
guidance.”
Hertha, watching from the audience, was elated at her daughter’s success and graciousness. But when
the host asked about Elowen’s father, the joyous atmosphere took a sudden turn.
Thalassa, who had been standing behind Lysander, felt her heart tighten at the question.
Unconsciously, she clenched the fabric of her skirt.
Hertha, who had been clapping joyously, suddenly stopped at the host’s question. She turned anxious
once again.
