Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 635:

“You’re asking who I am?” Silver Fox sneered wickedly. “I’m the one who hits the lapdog.”

With a swift motion, Silver Fox lifted her leg and delivered a powerful kick to Emilee. Emilee’s scream pierced the air as she tumbled into the roadside shrubbery, the low branches scratching her skin and tearing her clothes.

A kick from White Mallow of the Doomsday Base was not something an ordinary person could endure. Emilee lay among the greenery, unable to get up for a long while, her moans ignored by everyone around her.

Ayla and Sansa had no intention of helping Emilee; they were solely focused on giving Marissa a lesson she wouldn’t forget. Emst, however, couldn’t bring himself to ignore Emilee, as he hoped she would assist him in winning the perfume competition and securing a contract with Minty Fragrances and Perfumes as a perfumer.

Emilee had boasted that her family had arranged for Elin from Minty Fragrances and Perfumes to be her mentor. She had also promised to introduce Emst to Elin once she arrived in Blebert.

Instinctively, Emst wanted to rush to Emilee’s aid. But when he noticed the displeasure on Sansa’s face, he held back. Sansa was Emst’s financial lifeline, and he couldn’t afford to upset her. He catered to her every whim daily, terrified of making a mistake that would anger her.

She wasn’t just another wealthy woman; her daughter had the favor of the Peridot Consortium’s president. Crossing Sansa meant crossing the Peridot Consortium, and Emst knew the repercussions would be dire.

Caught between Sansa’s jealousy and his desire to remain loyal to Emilee, Emst didn’t dare help Emilee directly. However, to show he cared, he turned to Silver Fox and scolded, “How can you be so uncivilized?”

This was the first time Emst witnessed Silver Fox being so fierce. Throughout their relationship, she had always been gentle, and he had believed her to be a kind-hearted woman. While his words seemed like a defense for Emilee, they also mirrored his genuine curiosity.

Silver Fox finally cast a proper glance at Emst. Seeing him groveling by Sansa’s side filled her with disgust. Reflecting on her past relationship with this man, she wished she could lash herself for her blindness. How had she ever fallen for someone like him?

When Silver Fox’s gaze locked onto Emst, he felt a pang of guilt and fear that she might expose their past in front of everyone. Sansa got jealous quite easily. Since Emst had become her boy toy, she couldn’t stand him even glancing at other women. If she discovered Silver Fox was his ex-girlfriend, she would lose her mind.

Emst expected Silver Fox to cause a scene, but she merely glanced at him with disdain, dismissing him as if even exchanging another word with him would make her sick. A mix of anger and disappointment brewed within Emst.

He feared Silver Fox would spark a quarrel, provoking Sansa’s jealousy and wrath. Yet, he was also disheartened by her disdain, for deep down, he still cared for her. His mind was a tangled mess of contradictions.

But Silver Fox was indifferent to his inner turmoil. After a brief glance, she turned to Marissa and said, “I’ve dealt with the meddling mad dog for you. Handle the rest yourself.”

With that, Silver Fox pulled Lawrence and Lindsay close. “Kids, your mom has some trouble to sort out. You need to stay away so you don’t get upset.”

The two kids, initially worried about Marissa, quickly realized they had no reason to be concerned. Seeing her prowess in a fight, they understood she was more than capable of defending herself—no one could push her around.

After Silver Fox whisked the children to safety, Sansa finally snapped out of her daze. Clenching her teeth, she spat venomously at Marissa, “You truly are a low-class, uncouth woman. Even your friend is just as disgraceful.”

Marissa smirked. “Insult us again, and you’ll regret it.”

Sansa recoiled in fear, taking a couple of steps back. But she soon regained her composure and sneered, refusing to let the argument drop. “Can’t handle a few insults? Did I say anything wrong? You had those kids with some unknown man. They are worth nothing.”

Marissa remained unfazed, and Sansa pressed on. “The only reason you and your kids are staying at the Daniels Manor is that Arabella has lost her marbles. Connor must despise you. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be out buying cheap trinkets from a stall with your kids.”noveldrama

Uninterested in explaining herself, Marissa responded coolly, “And how exactly is any of this your business?”
