Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 1176:

But when Silver Fox emerged from behind the curtain, poised and radiant in her tailored professional attire, both Ernst and Emilee went rigid with shock.

Ernst had once been infatuated with her, drawn to her charm. But because of her modest background, he had never taken her seriously—he only saw her as someone to be kept in the shadows, never acknowledged in public.

Emilee, on the other hand, had tormented Silver Fox since childhood, treating her as nothing more than a plaything to bully. Even now, she had dreamed of humiliating her further.

And yet, here Silver Fox stood—out of their reach, elevated to a status they could only gawk at.

She carried herself with effortless grace, her aura commanding respect. Taking the stage, she accepted the host’s introduction with a poised nod, delivering an inspiring speech that held the audience spellbound. With ease and authority, she presented the awards and signed contracts, each bearing the official seal of Minty Fragrances and Perfumes.

Everything she did on that stage—the power, the prestige, the recognition—was what Ernst and Emilee had longed for. It was close enough to taste, yet impossibly beyond their grasp.

They stood there, slack-jawed, dazed, watching as Silver Fox gracefully completed her duties. The thunderous applause followed her all the way off the stage, but even after she disappeared backstage, Ernst and Emilee remained frozen, looking utterly ridiculous.

Then, as if struck by lightning, Ernst snapped out of his trance. Without a second thought, he bolted after Silver Fox like a madman. Emilee hesitated, torn between disbelief and desperation, but ultimately, she rushed after him.

Backstage, Ernst’s voice rang out, hoarse with urgency. “Eloisa!”

Silver Fox paused. With unshaken composure, she turned around, her expression unreadable. “Can I help you?”

Ernst’s breath hitched. His eyes, wild with emotion, searched her face as he shook his head in disbelief. “This can’t be real. How—how could you be the CEO of Minty Fragrances and Perfumes?”

A faint, knowing smile curved Silver Fox’s lips. “I am exactly who they introduced me as.” Her voice was calm, yet each word struck like a hammer. Then, with deliberate slowness, she added, “And in case you’re still in denial—I am also your idol, Elin. You were too blind to recognize me back then.”

Ernst staggered back as if he had been physically struck. “Why didn’t you tell me from the start?” His embarrassment twisted into anger. His voice rose. “If I had known, I never would have cheated on you!”

Burnet’s engagement to the CEO of Minty Fragrances and Perfumes was no secret, and their grand wedding was just two days away. Ernst had known about the engagement, but only now did he realize the bride was actually Silver Fox, whom he had once dated.noveldrama

The revelation hit him like a freight train. His own arrogance and obliviousness had cost him a remarkable woman, and regret settled deep in his bones. Next to Burnet, he was like a complete fool—clueless, short-sighted, and utterly out of his depth.

Yet, instead of looking inward, he lashed out, blaming everyone but himself. He even had the audacity to accuse Silver Fox of deception, claiming she had deliberately hidden her identity from him.

Before he could spout more nonsense, Burnet strode over, wrapped a protective arm around Silver Fox, and coldly instructed his bodyguards, “Get rid of him. And if he dares bother my wife again—break his legs.”

“Yes, sir!”
