NovelEnglishChapter 509: In the pitch-black wilderness, Silver Fox rode her motorcycle like a comet streaking across the night, kicking up a swirling cloud of dust in her wake.
To avoid drawing unwanted attention and to keep the residents of Skytop Mansion in the dark, she refrained from turning on the headlights, instead letting the moonlight and starlight guide her.

Marissa heard the roar of the motorcycle but didn't bother to turn around; she knew it was Silver Fox. The two had faced death together countless times and knew each other inside and out.
Marissa could identify Silver Fox's distinctive riding style just by the sound, without needing to look.
Silver Fox executed a graceful, arc-shaped brake behind Marissa, parking her motorcycle beside hers. Dusting off her hands, she strolled over. Noticing the remote control in Marissa's hand, she instantly grasped the situation and sat down beside her.
"How's the scouting coming along?" Silver Fox inquired.
ŁatЄşt ¢ hαþtɛяs in gałnøvelsMarissa glanced at her with composure, replying softly, "Still circling the mountain." "Shall I take the reins for a while?" Silver Fox offered.
Marissa chuckled gently, jesting, "I guess you're still recovering from heartache. Take your time. If tears beckon, find solace elsewhere, away from my work." "What heartache?!" scoffed Silver Fox. "I was solely attracted to Ernst due to his youth and good looks. Rushing to secure a marriage and an heir, I quickly acquiesced when he ardently pursued me. I assumed that a daughter blessed with his appearance would be stunning. However, love played no part in my decision.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI was open to discussing marriage under the belief that feelings could develop between us after we tied the knot. But then you informedthat he was a womanizer. Tsk, I couldn't believe I was so careless as to fall for his deception. Fortunately, he never laid a hand on me. All he gained was my resentment and a burning desire for revenge.
Let's see how I'll outmaneuver him in the end!" Marissa grinned playfully and gently teased, "Don't be too harsh on him. That charming lad publicly professed you as his one true love." "Ugh!" Silver Fox feigned disgust. "Please, let's not bring that up again. What did I do in a past life to deserve being the beloved of a notorious heartbreaker?" "Hahaha..." Marissa erupted into peals of laughter. It turned out she had perfectly anticipated Silver Fox's reaction and decisions.
Silver Fox nudged her friend's shoulder and remarked, "Stop laughing. This is my first venture into romance, and it turned out to be quite the debacle. And you find it amusing?" Marissa looked at her friend with amusement. "Let's see if you'll be more cautious next tsomeone pursues you. Even if your grandma is urging you on, there's no rush. Patience is key." Silver Fox pouted. "Noted!" After a brief pause, she inquired, "By the way, how is your little cousin doing?" "At first, she was very upset and shed tears for a while," Marissa shared. “But with my guidance, she's found clarity. She's set on surpassing Ernst and that conniving Emilee in the perfcompetition and securing a contract with Minty Fragrances and Perfumes as a perfumer." "Really?" Silver Fox raised an eyebrow. "Then I'll ensure she makes it to the end of the competition and achieves a good ranking." "No need to do that. Just secure her a wildcard entry," Marissa suggested. "She's incredibly gifted in perfumery and has developed solid skills, but she lacks a top-notch perfumer's guidance." Silver Fox glanced at Marissa, already anticipating her next words. True to expectation, Marissa continued, “I originally intended to mentor Araceli myself, but since you arrived in Blebert so promptly, that responsibility now falls to you." Intrigued, Silver Fox asked, "Why can't you mentor her yourself?" "I'm tied up." "I'm busy too!"
"You're not like me," Marissa explained. "If I mentor Araceli, it's just friendly guidance. Bxt if you take her Ο under your wing and help her best Ernst, it's a woman's revenge served cold."
Silver Fox frowned. "That sounds great, but you're just trying to dadge the work and dump it all on me, treatinglike a servant."
Marissa chuckled. She was about to tease her friend further when her phone rang. It was an urgent alert e from the tracking software. Marissa swiftly checked it and discovered that Clarissa had arrived at Skytop Mansion
