Abandoned by All I Took It All Back novel Chapter 373

Two days later.

A few images and a fifteen-second video surfaced online, completely shattering the good reputation The Tasting Room had built over several months.

#EXPLOSIVE! Roaches and Rats Spotted in The Tasting Room's Kitchen!#

#So That's Why It Tastes Good! The Tasting Room's Secret Ingredient Is Filth!#

One sensational headline after another plunged the trending restaurant into a whirlpool of public outrage.

The photos circulating online depicted the conditions of The Tasting Room's kitchen.

In the pictures, the kitchen was a disgusting mess.

A rat was captured mid-scurry across a cutting board.

Vegetables were piled haphazardly on the floor next to a nauseating bucket of slop.

A sliced-open watermelon was thrown directly on the ground, buzzing with flies.

The sink was filled with the floating corpses of cockroaches and other small insects, mixed with rotten vegetable leaves.

The beef and fish were left everywhere, A few slices of ham directly on the cutting board used for fruit, swarm with flies.

The video panned to a meat grinder, where white maggots could be clearly seen writhing inside.

The sight was enough to make anyone feel sick to their stomach, let alone consider eating there.

Online forums immediately erupted with condemnation for The Tasting Room.

West was frantic.

When he first saw the pictures online, he thought they must be from some other restaurant's kitchen.

But when he realized it was The Tasting Room, he froze in shock.

How was that possible?

The Tasting Room's hygiene standards had always been top-notch.

There was no way a situation like the one online could have happened.

But the evidence was right there, and someone had captured it.

It wasn't because she had a guilty conscience—she had been in The Tasting Room's kitchen twice, and it looked nothing like this. Just a few days ago, she and her friends had toured the kitchen with Janina. How could it have changed so drastically in such a short time?

It was just that the things netizens were saying were too vile, and it was affecting her mood.

But the most important thing now was to get to the bottom of it.

Melody immediately called Janina to ask what was going on.

Janina was equally stunned.

She had spent the morning taking a walk in their neighborhood with her parents and the twins after breakfast.

She had only just heard about the reports on The Tasting Room from Melody and was now looking them up online.

After hanging up, she immediately called her brother, West.

West was facing a full-blown crisis. Customers who had eaten at The Tasting Room were showing up, demanding compensation.

Realizing how serious the situation was, Janina left the kids with her parents and rushed to the restaurant.

“You have to give me an explanation! I knew something was wrong with my stomach lately. It turns out it’s from eating your disgusting food! See for yourself, this is my check-up report from the hospital yesterday.”
