Sally couldn't hide her emotions from her face. She demanded, "Are you trying to drive me away?"
"Miss Hale, your words are too harsh," said Justin. With Madison beside him, he restrained his impatience but still spoke with a hint of pride. "Since you claimed my food is inedible, reordering them won't change the taste. To avoid wasting the food, we kindly suggest you try another restaurant. We are not driving you away. We wouldn't dare to drive away a big star like you."
Sally was filled with anger and retorted, "Then, just get another chef to prepare it! Don't tell me that there is only one chef in such a big restaurant?"
Justin shrugged. "Sorry, Miss Hale, all the other chefs in our restaurant were taught by me. The taste of their food naturally matches mine."
With the conversation reaching this point, even if Sally wanted to stay, she was too embarrassed to stay any longer.
She bit her lip, glared fiercely at Madison, and left.
Cynthia, who was filming with her phone, hurriedly caught up to her. "Sally, wait for me!"
After they left Rose Garden, Sally couldn't hold back her emotions anymore.
She cursed loudly to vent her frustration. "That bitch! She is just a waitress. What's with her attitude? Even if she drives me away, she's still serving others inside!"
Cynthia chimed in, "Sally, don't bother with that bitch. She only knows a few hooligans. Last time it was a few street ruffians, and this time it's a few chefs. There are plenty of wealthy people dining at Rose Garden, and many have business connections with the Palmer family. Just tell Mr. Palmer what happened, and when they lose business, they'll not be arrogant anymore."
Sally narrowed her eyes. "You're right."
She snorted, took out her phone from her bag, and made a call.
Soon, the call was answered.
Sally's tone sounded aggrieved as she complained, "Leo, I just saw my sister at Rose Garden..."
Inside Rose Garden, after Sally left, many people couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The loudest laughter came from Justin.
He stood with hands on his hips, looking in the direction of the door with disdain. "Who does she think she is? She wanted my teacher to prepare a meal but insisted on saying my food was not good. Fortunately, Madison is impressive, and told her to scram!"
Others nodded in agreement. "Exactly. This is the first time someone said the food at Rose Garden is not tasty. She even looks down on people based on education. The average education level in our kitchen is probably many times higher than what she bought with money!"
The rule to get into university was established by Greg.
Those learning to cook under him were either financially struggling or orphans. They studied while cooking, even competing academically among themselves.
Those who performed well were rewarded by Greg, while those who didn't felt embarrassed.
As for those who completed their studies but wanted to continue learning culinary skills at Rose Garden, they formally became part of the Holland family and called Greg their teacher.
If they didn't want to return and achieve success in various industries, as long as they didn't bring shame to Rose Garden, they could continue to call Greg their teacher.
"Alright. There are still customers in the restaurant. Don't goof around out here. Go back to the kitchen and cook!" Greg shouted sternly.
Everyone dispersed, returning to their respective duties.
After everyone left, the solemn expression on Greg's wrinkled face immediately turned into a smile. "Thanks for your help today, Madison."
Madison followed suit with a smile, looking exasperated. "Greg, we're family after all. Let's go. Don't you still have food you need me to try?"
"Oh yes! We should hurry. The taste might change when it cools down." Greg hurriedly led the way.
Madison followed him, but she was not in a hurry. "Greg, did you save the video you took earlier?"
On Sally's side, Cynthia was holding her phone up and filming just now. Madison couldn't be unprepared for anything.
Greg didn't think much of the matter. "Yes, I'll ask Justin to send it to you later."
"Go and do it now. Copy the surveillance video, too. Save a separate copy," Madison instructed.
