?Chapter 497:


    Hearing Marissa’s question, Araceli gradually stopped crying. After a moment, she choked with sobs and said, “Tiffany, I’ve never liked conflict since I was a child. Even though Emilee and Ernst have hurt me, I have no intention of seeking revenge. But I feel truly terrible.”


    “For what?” Marissa asked. “Is it because you lost Ernst or because Emilee bullied you?”


    Araceli shook her head. “I’m not sad about losing Ernst. In fact, I’m relieved to have seen his true colors early and ended things before it’s toote. I feel bad because it’s unfair that I got deceived, considering I’m such a good person.


    I’m not upset because of Emilee’s bullying. I’m an adult now; she can’t harm me. I feel bad because I can’t shake off the painful memories from my childhood and because I haven’t found the strength to stand up to Emilee.”


    Marissa tilted her head. “Do you know the best way to heal your emotional wounds?”


    Araceli stopped crying and gazed at Marissa with unwavering eyes, filled with admiration. She yearned for spiritual healing, to erase the scars of her past, and to live confidently.


    Marissa advised, “You conquer those who hurt you with your strength, rise above them, and make them look up to you.”

    Araceli’s eyes brightened suddenly, only to dim momentster. “I’m not good at resorting to violence for revenge.”


    Marissa chuckled involuntarily. “Araceli, there are many ways to seek revenge. Violence is the most foolish and direct approach. If you dislike violence, try engaging in high-end games. The most sophisticated form of revenge is attacking the heart.


    It’s about spiritually defeating your enemy. This is revenge at its pinnacle. It can also heal your spiritual wounds. Would you like to give it a try?”


    Marissa’s words intrigued Araceli. She blinked and asked, “Could you borate?”


    “You could enter the perfumepetition hosted by Minty Fragrances and Perfumes,” suggested Marissa.


    “Both Emilee and Ernst take great pride in their skills as perfumers. They each aspire to rank in the top three and secure a contract with Minty Fragrances and Perfumes to boost their fame. Your task is to outperform them and use your sess to surpass them.”


    “But,” Araceli hesitated, “do you think I can do it?”


    “You can,” Marissa said. “Araceli, I’ve told you that you’d be a natural at perfumery. Even if you’re just starting, you have the potential to create the most exquisite scents. It doesn’t matter how talented others are; if you focus andmit, you can achieve great things.”


    Upon hearing these words, Araceli felt like she had encountered the most beautiful sentiments in the world. Her confidence surged. She bit her lip and said, “But the first stage of the perfumepetition has already ended, and I can’t participate anymore.”


    “That’s not an issue,” Marissa assured. “Minty Fragrances and Perfumes will offer special passes to truly talented perfumers. You could be a wild card and join thepetition.”


    Araceli’s face lit up with joy. “Then I need to reach out to Minty Fragrances and Perfumes right away to find out how to qualify as a wild card.”


    Araceli hesitated once more. “But Emilee has secured Elin’s guidance. Can Ipete against Elin’s apprentice?”


    Marissa chuckled. “Don’t worry. Elin’s guidance is a ruse. But you can be mentored by E.”


    Araceli’s eyes widened in surprise as she asked, “Why?”
