"So, my ingredients were sabotaged, either during everyone's inspection when someone took advantage of the chaos after I finished checking, or after we left, and between then and when we just entered."

Cindy raised her eyebrows, her expression a mix of laughter and seriousness, making Iris feel somewhat guilty.
