Chapter 254: Chapter 254: You’re Asking for a Beating, You Know That?
Watching Mason Bennett deftly prepare the ingredients, cook, and finally serve up the dishes,
Bella Green’s eyes widened in disbelief.
"Mason Bennett, have you really never cooked before?"
Looking at the scrumptious and aromatic braised pork, sweet and sour ribs, and a plate of stir-fried greens, Bella couldn’t believe it.
She picked up the phone next to her, looking at the video thumbnail, then at the braised pork in front of her. Except for a different plate, the presentation was exactly the same!
Mason washed his hands, then walked over to sit by the table: "No, I haven’t."
Bella gave him a suspicious look but said nothing.
The look on her face made Mason’s expression darken, and he tapped her lightly on the head: "Not everyone is as dense as you. The video tutorial was practically hands-on, how could you not learn from it?"
Bella stared at him, horrified: Dude, do you know how punchable you sound right now? Do you know what ’looks easy to do but messes up when you try’ means? Videos are just for eye candy, don’t you know?
Seeing her reaction, Mason could somewhat guess her thoughts and ruffled her hair.
"I forgot, intelligence varies from person to person."
Bella: "..."
"Try it."
Bella looked at the braised pork in front of her and couldn’t resist picking up her chopsticks to try a piece.
As soon as the meat entered her mouth, she was stunned. After a while, she looked at Mason and then at the meat in front of her, quickly swallowing the braised pork.
"You, you’ve really never cooked before?" Bella asked in surprise.
If she hadn’t been watching Mason cook the whole time, she would have suspected he ordered takeout to fool her.
Why is it so delicious?
Noticing her reaction, Mason smiled contentedly and filled a bowl of rice for her.
"Eat."
Bella picked up the bowl and started eating.
Watching her eat heartily, a warm feeling passed through Mason’s eyes, and he picked up his chopsticks to eat with her.
...
After dinner, Bella went back to the guest room and lay on the bed, staring into space.
She figured out that Mason wasn’t going to send her back, so she just went to the guest room herself.
But today was different. After entering the room, she locked the door securely with two locks before feeling at ease.
After lying down for a while, Bella took out her phone, wanting to check Weibo, only to find that she had been stuck with a dead battery all morning.
Bella was frustrated; she then resigned herself to removing the back cover, took the battery out, and reassembled it—power on!
With the morning’s lesson learned, Bella opened Weibo and immediately turned off all notifications before starting to look through it.
However, once she started browsing, she was stunned. It had only been a few hours since leaving the hotel, watching the cooking video, having dinner until now.
But online, there was a storm brewing once again!!
And this time, the trending topics were still about her and Fiona Grantham...
The trending searches were filled with news of Fiona Grantham hitting people. Initially, her fans denied everything, but when the later released videos from bystanders appeared, things quieted down a lot.
Yet many still insisted that the video didn’t prove anything and that Fiona Grantham was being wronged.
Looking at the video, it captured Joanna Ramsey’s tantrum and crying; they both looked rather disheveled, but Fiona Grantham seemed completely unfazed.
The video’s duration wasn’t long, and just before it ended, it suddenly showed Fiona Grantham lunging at Joanna Ramsey but being pulled back by Bella Green.
The video stops right where Fiona Grantham tears her shirt.
It must be said, the angle from which this was filmed was quite tricky, as it made Fiona Grantham appear to deliberately lunge at Joanna Ramsey.
With the influencer’s misleading comments, many believed that Fiona Grantham, agitated, had indeed rushed to hit someone.
