Farewell to Love: The CEO's Desperate Chase novel Chapter 290

The moment Emilia’s face appeared before the crowd, a stunned silence swept through the room.

Backstage, Beatty stared at her in disbelief, whispering under her breath, “Impossible…”

Online, it was chaos.

People who’d been hurling insults just moments before now found themselves shouting the very same word: “Impossible.”

Desperate, they scrambled to find any loophole, any explanation that would let them cling to their old narrative.

“They must have been working together! Serena and Emilia must be in on this!”

That was the last hope of those still refusing to accept the truth.

But then Seven seized the moment.

He had been holding back, biding his time for this exact opportunity.

With a wicked smile, he rallied his team for a full-on counterattack.

“Look, Emilia is Serena! That means Serena never faked her charity donation! Tyler bought millions’ worth of items at the auction and donated it, and since he and Emilia are married, her share of the donation counts too!”

“Exactly! And all that talk about trading favors for opportunities? Please. Serena has always earned her rankings through sheer talent. There was never a hidden agenda.”

“All those rumors before? Just deliberate smears. Serena’s achievements are the result of her own hard work!”

“This is a total reversal! Everything has turned upside down!”

“Wait a second,” someone chimed in. “We still don’t have complete proof Emilia and Serena are the same person. Maybe they’re just working together?”

…

Online forums were ablaze, but on the stage of Voice of the Divine, Emilia stood tall. She didn’t leave after pulling off her mask.

In fact, her song was only now reaching its true climax.

If everything before had been like a half-formed sculpture slowly carving itself out, then with the last piece of plaster falling away from her face, Emilia was finally reborn.

The stage glowed with her presence. Only now, free from prejudice, could everyone truly see her brilliance.

She sang her heart out, her ethereal voice and flawless technique unmistakably matching Serena’s from the previous four rounds.

As the last of the mask crumbled away, a new version of herself emerged before the world.

In both song and reality, she offered everyone a brand new Emilia—a brand new Serena.

The song’s finale soared with wave after wave of high notes, each one rising higher, symbolizing her climb from the depths—ascending, step after step, until she hovered above them all like an angelic melody.
