She felt as if she had been struck by lightning, unable to stand steadily.
fier legs nunod weak, and her mind was in chans.
If Sally was the Thousand Faced Tox, then she was thoroughly outplayed.
“Let’s leave first.” Into said, interrupting her thoughts. Even after hearing so much shocking gossip, his expression remained calm and composed.
Cathy’s legs were like lead, and she struggled to return to the car.
Enzo drove to the hotel and asked her to rest upstairs while he took William aside.
“Who is the Thousand Faced Fox?” When they were alone, Enzo looked down, took out a cigarette, and pressed it to his lips, asking
Though he didn’t look at William directly, his question made William’s heart skip a beat. Enzo was perceptive, and he must be suspicious..
“Why are you asking like this?” William tried to act nonchalant, forcefully suppressing his guilty conscience.
Enzo lit the cigarette with a click, taking a deep drag. His phoenix–like eyes narrowed slightly, leaving others wondering what he was thinking.
I want to meet her.”
Meet… Wasn’t that a death sentence?
“When did you become so interested in women other than Cathy?” William almost choked on his breath and hurriedly laughed it off. “Forget it, she’s low–profile, and she won’t want to meet you.”
Enzo turned his head to look at him, saying nothing, but his gaze was fixed on him.
His deep and penetrating gaze seemed to read through one’s heart.
William could barely breathe under that gaze.
“How did Sally end up here?” Enzo dropped another bomb.
William’s legs trembled, but he managed to react quickly, “Did she come? I had no idea.”
“Oh, by the way, the Thousand Faced Fox said she wanted to go to the temple to pray. I’ll go pick her up now.” After saying that, he walked out with large strides, pretending to call the Thousand Faced Fox.
Watching William’s retreating figure, Enzo’s thoughts once again returned to Sally.
Why did she come? Was it because of the boss of Starlight Media?
Her relationship with the boss of Starlight Media was rather peculiar. He had divorced for her and even established a foundation named after her daughter, Iris, for several billion dollars. Logically speaking, he should love her deeply. However, after so long, they had never mentioned getting married. They had never interacted in public either. He even suspected that the so–called boss of Starlight Media might be a fabrication.
But why was he bothering so much about someone irrelevant?
Enzo rubbed his temples to dispel those chaotic thoughts and headed back.
Finally, Sally and Mr. Anderson got back to the main topic. She presented the project of Genesis Group.
“I know you don’t like doing business with foreign entrepreneurs, but this project is exceptional,” Sally said with sincerity.
She wasn’t just flattering; she had carefully reviewed the proposal and genuinely thought it was excellent.
“If this project takes off, it will be extremely beneficial for both you and Genesis Group. It’s a groundbreaking endeavor.”
Normally, Mr. Anderson wouldn’t bother looking at a proposal just to please someone. But Sally was different.

He took the proposal and lowered his head to read it. The only sound in the room was the flipping of paper.
Sally kept her head down, sipping her tea until he finished reading the last page and looked up at her.
She stared back at him in silence.
“You indeed have a good eye for this,” Mr. Anderson said with an affectionate tone. “However, this project is too avant–garde and risky.”
Sally nodded. “Indeed, avant garde projects come with certain risks. But precisely because of those risks, there is infinite amount of possibilities and opportunities.”
Mr. Anderson agreed with her, “You’re right. I trust your judgment. However, I still can’t invest in this project.”
Sally didn’t ask for the reason and simply accepted his decision. “It’s okay; I’ll leave the information here. You can take a look whenever you want.”
They chatted for a while, and Mr. Anderson couldn’t help asking about her marriage. “I heard you got married. Why didn’t you bring your husband here? I want to see what kind of man is lucky enough to marry you.”
The mention of marriage made the smile on Sally’s face gradually fade. It became extremely faint as she said, “I already got divorced.”
Mr. Anderson was first surprised, then he slammed the table, “Who’s blind enough to let go of such a great girl!”
He was genuinely angry.
Seeing him angry for her, Sally felt warm in her heart and couldn’t help but find it amusing.
“What’s so great about me? Only you would think I’m a great girl,” she said lightly.
“Who said that!” Mr. Anderson glared at her, completely different from his usual appearance. “However, it’s his loss. I’ll introduce someone better to you!”
“Sure, why not?” Sally didn’t take it seriously and nodded along with his words.
She didn’t stay long and soon took her leave.
Mr. Anderson personally saw her off. At the door, Sally took out a peace talisman she had just prayed for and handed it to him, “This is what I prayed for today. I hope you stay safe and find the person you seek.”
Mr. Anderson silently accepted it and rubbed the peace talisman with his fingers for a long time. “Are you hoping I’ll let her go?” he asked, his gaze intense under his snow–white hair.
Sally gently pursed her lips and said softly, “I hope you can let go of yourself.”
She knew best about the matter between Mr. Anderson and his ex–wife. The depth of his hatred toward her was evident.
In this world, love and hatred often went hand in hand. She hoped he could let go completely.
“You little girl,” Mr. Anderson teased.
A trace of warmth appeared in his cold gaze.
He smiled, “Alright, I’ll listen to you!”
Years ago, he was deceived by his ex–wife, left in huge debts, and faced various blows. He almost took his own life.
That night, he stumbled upon Sally’s live stream, and was immediately drawn in by her hopeful outlook.
She scrolled through the countless messages and saw the distressing signs of his suicidal thoughts. She quickly contacted him and offered her support.
She even came to Silvaria to help him.
Back then, she gave him ten thousand dollars. Though it wasn’t much, it became the strength that helped him stand back up.
Since then, they had kept in touch, and even after he climbed back to the peak of life, he never forgot the little girl who had pulled him back from the brink of death

Sally hit farewell and mrned to leave.
“Young girl.” Mr. Anderson called out to her again.
His gaze was deep as he looked up at the sky. “The weather will be good tomorrow. How about accompanying me to play golf?”
“Sure” Sally agreed enthusiastically.
After she left, Mr. Burnett walked over and saw the peace talisman in Mr. Anderson’s hand. He praised, “Miss Stewart is truly a thoughtful person.”
Mr. Anderson lowered his head and looked at the object in his hand, nodding. “Indeed, she is thoughtful.”
By giving him the peace talisman before leaving, she inade it clear that she didn’t want to burden him.
After Sally returned to the hotel, Enzo also came back to his room.
As soon as he opened the door, someone followed him inside.
“Enzo, Cathy stood pitifully behind him, her voice soft and weak, looking powerless. “Why aren’t you resting?”
Enzo looked at Cathy, his eyebrows slightly furrowing as he asked, “Why haven’t you rested? Is something wrong?”
Cathy’s body swayed, “Do you look down on me? I’m sorry; I wanted to help you, but I almost made things worse.”
“No,” Enzo shook his head, “I’m already happy that you want to help me.”
“Really?” Cathy looked at him with hopeful eyes, but she still felt uneasy.
She wanted to make an impact on the matter of Mr. Anderson because she needed something significant to get Enzo’s attention. After losing to Sally in the racing competition, she felt a thorn piercing her heart. She wanted to do everything possible to remove it.
She thought she could handle it this time, even though she knew that William had already invited the “Thousand–Face Fox” (Sally) and offered to lend a hand.
But today, whether it was William revealing her ignorance of the situation with Mr. Anderson’s wife or Sally’s unexpected preference by Mr. -Anderson, everything dealt a heavy blow to her pride, leaving her feeling ashamed.
Cathy felt stifled.
“Really,” Enzo rubbed his temples, feeling tired after a long day.
Seeing him like this, Cathy decided not to say anything more and took a step back. “Then go rest now. Robert will come later, and we can all get together.”
Enzo only made a sound of agreement before closing the door.
As Cathy watched the door close, the softness on her face faded a little. She turned around and unexpectedly met someone’s gaze from across the hall–it was Sally.
At that moment, Cathy’s perfect face showed a trace of crack.
Instinctively, she thought of the scene where Mr. Anderson refused to see Sally during the day.
The reason why Sally was looking at Cathy was purely accidental.
After a tiring day, she returned to the hotel and discovered that both Cathy and Enzo were also staying there, on the same floor.
Sally couldn’t help but smirk slightly.
She could understand running into familiar faces back home, but why did they have to meet each other again abroad?
This smirk, to Cathy, seemed like a mocking gesture–a blatant mockery!
Cathy’s anger surged, and she couldn’t control her footsteps. She walked, clicking her heels, toward Sally.
Just as Sally opened the door, Cathy quickly blocked her way.

Chapter los
Sally, how low are you willing to stoop? It’s fine if you behave this way in Celesterra, but you’re still sticking around abroad! Have you forgotten that you’re the woman of Starlight Media’s boss?”
She hail to be careful about her image in front of familiar faces back home, but here, she didn’t need to care about it anymore and didn’t even bother pretehding.
Cathy stared at Sally, her eyes burning with anger.
At that moment, Sally saw Cathy but was genuinely surpriseil.
Sally’s accidental gaze seemed to provoke Cathy.
You think you’re a goddess that everyone talks about, but look at you now just like a shrew! Don’t you remember that you’re already Starlight Media’s boss’s mistress?”
Cathy could really come up with some ideas!
Was she really that dumb?
Sally didn’t even bother to take her seriously and remained nonchalant, not responding.
Her silence, however, was misinterpreted by Cathy.
She thought she had guessed correctly.
“Let me tell you this. I know you’re still holding a grudge against Enzo for not choosing you. Are you here to sabotage things with Mr. Anderson?”
Cathy was good at coming up with ideas!
That woman had way too much time on her hands to come up with such ludicrous ideas.
Sally didn’t regard her highly and maintained her casual attitude.
The more Sally acted this way, the more agitated Cathy became.
Cathy had been pampered and praised by others for so long that she couldn’t tolerate Sally’s indifference. Instead of leaving, she pursed her lips and
sneered,
Cathy raised her chin, using even more provocative words to attack Sally. “I know you’re acting open–minded, but it’s all just empty words. If you were truly open–minded, you wouldn’t be meddling with Enzo. Perhaps Starlight Media is interested in you, and they might help you a little, even pulling some strings to let you meet Mr. Anderson. But if you continue to stick to Enzo like this, I’m afraid the boss of Starlight Media will get tired of you. Then you’ll be abandoned, and no other big boss will want to take you
in.”
This speech by Cathy carried multiple layers of meaning, each showing her contempt for Sally.
To Sally, her self–righteous words were simply ignorant!
Unable to hold back, Sally burst into laughter.
“Everyone says that Miss Cathy is a goddess. But now, you seem more like a shrew. Have the people who know you in Celesterra mistaken you for someone else?”
Cathy liked to be snarky, so $ally decided to be even more snarky!
“You!” Cathy was exposed and had lost all her face, causing her beautiful features to contort in anger.
Originally, she didn’t want to make a scene with someone like Cathy. If she wanted to throw herself against the door and end her life, Sally could only comply.
She floated a faint smile, “Instead of wasting your time thinking about irrelevant matters, why not practice your acting skills? After all, Miss Cathy still relies on that to make a living!”
It was clear that she was implying that she lacked real talent.
Cathy’s brain became congested with anger, and she glared at Sally as if she wanted to devour her.

senne fin che was Inenpide if any rustener, Sally shrugged in ooniders and potter ver away, entering the room.
She chased the dom right by trum of her f
Cathy
It took a long time her her to snap out of her trance after Sally disappeared.
What bad she just done?
Why did she take her anger out on Sally?
Wasn’t she the elegant and noble goddess Cathy, with grace, temperament, and beauty?
But just now, she had nothing, behaving like a shrew!
Even she couldn’t accept the image she had just shown, and Cathy was so flustered that she almost pulled her hair cant. It took a lot of effort for her to restrain herself.
In the evening, Robert indeed arrived.
The four of them went to the hotel restaurant together.
William didn’t look very good, and after they sat down, he relayed the information he had received from Sally to everyone.
Enzo’s face tightened upon hearing that the Thousand–Face Fox had failed. Although he didn’t say anything, it was evident that the failure had a significant impact on him.
“Wasn’t it said before that the relationship between the Thousand–Face Fox and Mr. Anderson was extraordinary? The rumors were that as long as the Thousand Face Fox got involved, Mr. Anderson would definitely agree. How could things turn out like this?” Cathy spoke with a graceful demeanor, casually expressing her thoughts.
Then she covered her mouth lightly, “Could it have something to do with Miss Stewart?”
Immediately, she apologized, “I’m sorry; I shouldn’t have guessed randomly.”
“Miss Stewart? Which Miss Stewart? Sally? Is she here too?” Robert asked sensitively, and his unrestrained face immediately contorted with disgust. “I’m telling you, it’s definitely her doing!”
“This woman has no shame! She was the one who insisted on getting a divorce, and now she’s up to these tricks–disgusting!”
Robert had always loathed Sally, and Cathy’s subtle hints ignited his anger even more. He started spewing a stream of hateful words about Sally.
“Robert, don’t say that without evidence,” Cathy pretended to advise while concealing a satisfied smile.
She wanted everyone to believe that Sally was responsible for today’s incident.
“Do we need evidence for something like this? She’s targeted you more than once!” Robert exploded in rage.
He looked at Enzo, “Enzo, she’s trampled all over you multiple times, and you’re still silent. How long will you keep tolerating her?”
What Robert truly cared about wasn’t Sally’s antics towards Ento but rather her actions against his goddess, Cathy.
Enzo remained silent, still as quiet as ever. However, William couldn’t help but let out a cold snort.
To be honest, he now despised being with these two people.
One was pretentious, and the other was foolish.
Boring.
If it weren’t for Sally forbidding him from revealing the truth, he would have loved to throw the blame for the Thousand–Face Fox incident on these
two.

Her heart pounded and she could hardly maintain her commenre.
Hey, William, do you like Sally by any chaner? Why are you always speaking up for her? Robert couldn’t contain his anger and burst out.
William didn’t immediately deny it intend, he forced a bitter smile. “Even if i like her, I’m not worthy of her.”
“Crazy
Robert lanew nothing about Sally’s identity, so he gave William a disdainful look upon hearing his words.
“Enze, we shouldn’t rush into things regarding Mr. Anderson’s matter. Why don’t we go play for a few days first and think of a solution later?” Cathy Jeaned over to hold Enzo’s hand, whispering softly.
Yeah. After a while, Enzo gave a faint nod.
The next day, the sun was shining brightly. Sally and Mr. Anderson arrived at the golf course early in the morning.
Mr. Anderson wore a gray sportswear, looking vigorous and powerful despite being in his forties. The white hair on his head glistened in the sunlight.
The white of Sally’s golf shirt was almost blinding compared to the muted colors of the surroundings. The shirt’s conservative design did not detract From its ability to flatter her figure.
The shirt had half length sleeves, just enough to reveal a slender, fair arm. Her pants hugged her legs, making them appear even longer. Her hair was tied into a ponytail, exuding a youthful and vibrant aura.
Mr. Anderson admired her appearance, saying, “Young people are different, full of vitality.”
“You are also full of vitality, and handsome too!” Sally gave him a thumbs–up.
The relationship between the two was like that of friends or even father and daughter, showing a natural affinity.
Mr. Anderson chuckled softly. Although he was in his forties, his face had smooth lines, and his previous aura of youthfulness was still evident.
In the distance, two figures approached them.
Upon seeing them, Sally’s brows slightly furrowed, and her smile faded away.
The people who came were none other than Enzo and Cathy.
Enzo wore dark blue sportswear, showing off his perfect figure.
His face was calm, giving off an unrippled surface, and his features were immaculate, making him incredibly handsome.
Cathy’s outfit of choice, a sports bra and shorts, left little to the imagination, showcasing her svelte legs and a section of her waist. She had pulled her hair into a neat bun, drawing attention to the graceful curve of her neck and collarbone.
