The Heiress’ Return & Revenge

Chapter 32

Chapter 32 Happiness Is All Relative

Simone assisted the teenager with their homework, and soon, two more children came seeking guidance. She patiently answered all their questions.

The teaching provided by others was commendable, and the children in the village cherished this rare learning opportunity, studying earnestly. Of course, there were some amusing incidents during the lessons, most of which were caused by Zac.

After two hours, the children left the yard, only to return a while later, bearing meat, vegetables, and fruits prepared by their families as gifts for Simone and the others.

She held a jar of sauerkraut given by the teenager’s grandmother. She smiled and said, “How about we have sauerkraut fish for dinner?”

Zac and the others nodded eagerly: “Sure. That sounds great!”

She then went into the kitchen to prepare sauerkraut fish. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Two men offered to help gut the fish, but their efforts were clumsy. Simone didn’t mind, though. After they gutted the fish, Keira washed it, and Simone expertly sliced it with precision.

Eric couldn’t help but be amazed. “Simone, your knife skills are incredible.”

Zac leaned over, grabbed a few pieces, and examined them. “Impressive!”

Keira also stared at Simone with starry eyes. “Your knife skills are on par with a chef’s

Simone smiled at the three of them. “I specialized in it before.” Then, she began marinating the fish, with the other three assisting.

Given that the two fish sent by the farmers during the day were quite large, Simone sought opinions from the others and decided to make them all into sauerkraut fish. They also prepared a pot of rice.

At this moment, Leon and the others had just finished their work outside. A tempting aroma wafted into their noses as they walked to the yard.

Leyla smelled the aroma and couldn’t help but ask, “What delicious dish is the other group making?” She only had one dumpling in the morning, and the lunch at the farmer’s house was mediocre, so she didn’t eat much. She suddenly felt famished.

After catching the scent, Jodie felt uneasy, knowing Simone was responsible for this enticing aroma. “I don’t know,” she replied. She asked considerately, “What do you want to eat tonight? I can cook.”

Leyla, her hunger growing, boldly expressed, “I want to eat whatever they’re making right now.”

Although Jodie’s smile seemed forced initially, she quickly returned to her usual pleasant demeanor. She responded thoughtfully, “Sure, I’ll check it out later. If I know how to make it, I’ll cook it for you.” She enthusiastically added, “Even if I don’t know, I can ask the production team and watch cooking tutorial videos to learn.”

Leyla wanted to express her skepticism, but she reluctantly forced a smile and said, “Thank you for

your hard work.”

Leon felt a pang in his heart, recognizing the aroma of Simone’s cooking. He listened to the conversation and looked at Jodie expectantly, saying, “We’ll rely on you for dinner.”

Jodie replied sweetly, “No problem. Leave it to me.”

‘Do you think Jojo can make sauerkraut fish?‘

“She probably can. Didn’t she say that she could learn from cooking videos?‘

I mean, can she recreate the taste of Simone’s sauerkraut fish?”

“That might be challenging. Simone’s sauerkraut fish looked delicious even through the screen.”

‘Exactly. I wanted to lick the screen when Simone was cooking just now.

‘Simone’s culinary skills are excellent. You can tell just by watching her knife skills and preparation.”

It might be difficult for Jodie if she wants to achieve that level.

“How do you all know that Jojo might be unable to do it?”

Exactly. She’s not inferior to Simone.

Jojo specifically learned how to cook before coming to this show.”

‘Stop looking down on her.

“Yes. Jojo is amazing. Her brother is still stuck in the bathroom right now.”

Fans of Aaron and Jodie were left speechless.

On the other side, Leon and the others entered, their eyes immediately drawn to Zac and his group sitting in the yard, busily savoring their fish dish. Simone ate her portion slowly, savoring each bite,

while the others appeared unable to restrain themselves.

Keira said with a satisfied expression, “This sauerkraut fish is so delicious.”

Looking up from his meal, Zac added enthusiastically, “This is the most delicious sauerkraut fish I’ve ever had.” He gave Simone a thumbs up. “Even better than what a chef would make.”

Eric complimented, “I usually don’t enjoy fish, but I can’t stop eating this.”

The group hadn’t expected Simone’s culinary skills to be this exceptional, and her response was humble, “As long as you like it.”

You can imagine how delicious the sauerkraut fish is. Even Zachy, who has a picky palate, can’t stop eating.

‘Eric doesn’t like fish much, but he’s eating it this time and has had several bowls.

‘Keira has also abandoned her ladylike demeanor and is feasting on the fish.”

I’m getting hungry; I’ll make a bowl of sauerkraut noodles to cat with their fish.”

‘Simone is so amazing!

Observing the others savoring their meal, Leyla couldn’t help but feel even hungrier. She turned to Jodie and asked, “They are eating sauerkraut fish. Can you make it, Jo?” Although she doubted Jodie’s cooking skills, Leyla’s craving for the dish was undeniable.

Jodic nodded, saying, “I happen to have learned how to make sauerkraut fish.” She added, “But we don’t have fish and sauerkraut. We need to buy some from the villagers.”

They were paid directly for their work today, earning $6 per person.

Leon said, “I’ll go buy it.” He was enticed by the aroma and also anticipated tasting the appetizing sauerkraut fish.

Shortly after, the four devoured the two fish dishes on the table. Zac and Eric soaked their rice in the sauerkraut fish soup.

Zac slumped in his chair, patting his stomach, expressing. “I haven’t been this full in a long time.”

Eric said, smiling, “I rarely eat so much until I’m stuffed.”

Keira enthusiastically nodded, “Me too.” Looking at Simone, she inquired, “Simone, what dish should we cook tomorrow?”

Simone smiled and said, “Whatever you want to cat, I’ll make it for you tomorrow,”

Overwhelmed with appreciation, Keira hugged Simone’s arm and exclaimed, “Ah! Simone, you’re so good!”

Zac joined in, smiling. “Simone, you’re spoiling us.”

Eric chuckled and agreed, “It’s really fortunate to be in the same group as Simone. Eric felt grateful that he hadn’t ended up in the group with a famous celebrity who was still dealing with the aftermath

of diarrhea.

Zac added meaningfully, “So, happiness is all relative.”

Just then, Leon returned with the fish and sauerkraut and happened to overhear their conversation. He looked at Simone with envy, unable to understand why she seemed to dote on Zac so much. If it weren’t for the live broadcast, he would have rushed over to Simone and urged her to cook for him in the kitchen.

As his thoughts wandered. Jodie emerged from the kitchen. “Mr. Foster, you’re back,” she greeted. She glanced at Simone in the yard, briskly walked over, and took the fish and vegetables from Leon’s hand. “We wanted to eat fish, so you went to buy it. You’ve worked hard,” she said, intentionally trying to provoke Simone. Jodie wanted to make it clear that Leon was eager to fulfill her desires, emphasizing Simone’s seemingly lesser significance in his life.

Unfortunately for Jodie, Simone appeared unfazed and didn’t even spare her a glance. Jodie couldn’t help but feel slightly disappointed, wondering if Simone’s calm demeanor was just an act.
