Chapter 739: Bad influence
Penny’s intentions were undeniably good, but sometimes not all good intentions lead to good results.
"I just added some vitamins for extra nutrients. It’s not that bad — Ginnie told me it’s effective. It’s not like I was trying to poison you all."
Everyone was in disbelief for a moment upon hearing Penny’s explanation. They could only stare at her, wondering if they had heard her correctly. To be sure, Slater urged Penny to repeat what she had done, and that was how they uncovered the mystery of her god-awful dishes.
Every time Penny served food, she would sprinkle some of the vitamins she hid under the kitchen counter as if she were garnishing it.
"And then some whey protein for muscle building, wound healing, and weight gain," she mumbled, doing what she had done before mixing everything. After that, she would garnish it properly. "Then, done!"
"..." Everyone was rendered speechless as Atlas finished the last spoonful from his plate.
No wonder everyone was complaining and literally crying. The food itself was good, but with all the things she added, it ruined the taste.
"I add these things because I know you guys need energy and strength, okay?" Penny explained with a deep sigh. "Take it as a mother making a healthy smoothie for her picky child. It shouldn’t taste weird at all. You didn’t even taste the vegetables I added."
"..." Again, no one could find the words to respond, staring at her in dismay.
"Ginnie said this is what she does to her team," she mumbled, pouting. "Look at them. They’re clinching championships."
"..."
Penny pursed her lips at the silence that followed her remarks. She could almost hear their breaths echo.
