Chapter 551: Silver Fox's voice was strained with anger. "Araceli, do you believe you can win first place in the perfcompetition?" Araceli replied timidly, "I do." She was at a loss for words. The only commendation for her perfume-making skills cfrom Marissa. Emst's constant belittlement had chipped away at her confidence. Without Marissa's supportive words, Araceli wouldn't have considered entering the competition.
Noticing Araceli's uncertainty, Silver Fox shifted her approach, saying, "Do you want to win this competition and show Emst and Emilee, those bitches, what you're made of?" This time, Araceli nodded with conviction.
"Are you sure?" Silver Fox asked.
"Yes," Araceli said. "I want them to be so embarrassed that they would think twice before showing their faces in the perfworld again!" Latest chapters in gl.om Silver Fox burst into laughter at this declaration. This was the spirit Silver Fox sought in her student-someone driven, not indifferent to their own honor or disgrace.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDelighted by Araceli's response, Silver Fox grasped her hand and led her towards the door, saying, “Let's go. I'll teach you state-of-the-art perfume-making right now." Araceli was deeply moved by Silver Fox's determination, following her in silent agreement. Her complete trust in Marissa extended naturally to Silver Fox, Marissa's trusted acquaintance, and she followed without a second thought.
As they exited the reception area, they encountered Rita.
"Miss Swain," Rita greeted Silver Fox.
Silver Fox suddenly remembered she hadn't really caught up with Rita yet, but training Araceli was her priority, leaving no tfor a catch-up with Rita now.
After a brief pause, she addressed Rita, "Rita, could you bring Lawrence and Lindsay to my place after you pick them up this afternoon? I'd love to catch up with you and see the little ones." Rita hesitated to comply because the instruction hadn't cdirectly from her boss, making it difficult for her to act on it. Despite Silver Fox being a close friend of her boss, Rita couldn't just ignore protocol and act on Silver Fox's instructions alone.
Understanding the dilemma, Silver Fox said, "Alright. I know you need approval from your boss. I'll talk to her myself later." Right after saying this, Silver Fox departed with Araceli. She had planned to stay at Marissa's Wave Mansion, but reconsidered. Despite its luxury, the mansion was too far from the city center. Wanting to avoid a lengthy commute, she decided to book the presidential suite at the Palace Hotel instead.
Even though the room was quite pricey, Silver Fox wasn't concerned about the cost. Having recently received eighty million from Burnet, she felt it was a good tto splurge a bit.
Silver Fox swiftly brought Araceli to the Palace Hotel, secured a presidential suite for a hundred thousand a night, and had her trusted perfume-making equipment sent over. Without delay, she began Araceli's intensive training. During their training sessions, Silver Fox paused to send her assistant a text, instructing him to find out whether Emst was improperly involved with any female judge in the competition.
Given Emst's sudden confidence about securing a top spot and his new contract with Minty Fragrances and Perfumes, Silver Fox suspected he might have charmed his way into a female judge's good graces.
As the president of the Blebert branch of Minty Fragrances and Perfumes, Silver Fox held the ultimate authority over decisions about the competition.

Emst wasn't someone with a powerful background, which made it straightforward for her assistant to probe his connections. Within an hour, the findings were in her hands.
Silver Fox was drinking water when she saw the investigation results and was so surprised that she spat out the water. The findings showed that Emst hadn't directly charmed any female judges. Instead, thanks to Emilee's introduction, he had becclose to a wealthy woman.
This wealthy woman had recently formed ties with the Peridot Consortium and was highly om esteemed by its president, a factor that might explain Emst's newfound confidence. It seemed likely she knew someone crucial on the judging panel. Yet, Silver Fox's assistant hadn't found out which judge this influential woman was associated with.
What stunned Silver Fox was the identity of the wealthy woman. Silver Fox couldn't believe it was her.
In a mix of shock and amusement, she quickly texted Marissa, saying, "Black Snake, Emst has hooked up with a wealthy woman with Emilee's help. Guess who she is?"
