Xyla’s head started to hurt after reading too much of these comments. A stranger’s ill will would always come so suddenly. Many people liked to listen to gossip. Even if they didn’t know the truth, they would follow the crowd and defame the target. Being in the entertainment industry, she had seen too much of her own celebrities and their rivals being slandered by brainless netizens who listened to malicious rumormongers. This was no longer anything serious for her. In fact, it barely stirred her emotionally. Other than feeling speechless, she found it amusing. She only had a little over a million followers on her Weibo. In the past, whenever she posted something, the comments would never exceed ten thousand. Now, the first three posts on her timeline had exceeded a hundred thousand comments each. Based on this engagement level, she assumed that she must have made it into the search rankings. She held her forehead helplessly and opened up Weibo’s hottest search ranking.
He glanced at the jacket before looking up at her. “Whose jacket is this?” “Josh Batton’s,” she replied softly before turning into the kitchen. She had no intention of explaining too much to this fake husband of hers. The moment she left, the jacket fell to the ground. Stanley got up and simply kicked the jacket aside before entering the kitchen. By then, Xyla’s hands were behind her back, battling with the strings of her white apron. The strings had been tied loosely earlier, so she planned to untie it and redo the knot but it had accidentally become a dead knot. Seeing this, he instantly went up behind her, tipped his head down, and took the strings from her. He started carefully undoing the knot. They were standing really close. The smell of tobacco mixed with peppermint perfume invaded her nostrils. His breaths faintly grazed the back of her neck and earlobes, causing mild electric shocks. As if her chest had been electrocuted, her heart started beating wildly.
Josh shared one of the comments on her earlier post. “Was there really no seduction just because you said so? You vixen, I won’t believe you!” and added a caption, “There really was no seduction. It’s an angle problem. Stop slandering her.” Josh’s response surprised her. She had never thought he would appear just after she had made a post. Out of habit, she clicked on the comments of his post and to her surprise, Josh was replying to his fans’ comments. Josh’s Girlfriend wrote. “Josh, if you’ve been threatened by Xyla Quest, blink.” Josh replied. “Don’t start a conspiracy theory.” With just one sentence, he summoned a wave to completely overturn the events. In an instant, the comments at the bottom were all. “I’m sorry Xyla Quest, please forgive me.” Xyla smiled. She simply called Josh and soon, the call got through. She went ahead and said, “Thank.” On the other side, Josh was sitting on a sofa beside the french windows with his phone in one hand while the other tappin
“Just let me know if you need anything done. Good night.” After saying that, Josh did not hang up immediately but simply kept quiet. Xyla simply ended the call before returning to the sofa. She removed her white fur coat and casually placed it aside before laying down, gently pinching her nose bridge. Since Mary Sullivan had done such an evil thing, Xyla would definitely not let her off so easily. *** On the other hand, at Unconscious Bar. Completely oblivious to what was happening on Weibo, Mary and her three other friends who went to the show today were dancing at the dance floor of their private room while drinking classy imported beer. The vast space was dark with rays of neon lights dancing around them. Upbeat music rattled their eardrums. She wore a cheeky grin and because she was in high spirits, her movements were strikingly enchanting. “So Mary, were you the one behind all of it? Aren’t you quite cool?” “Yeah, yeah… someone’s being trashed because of it h
The others nodded. “Mary, what if things get worse, and they found out it was you?” “Yeah, yeah, I’m so worried.” At this, Mary instantly scoffed in contempt. “Don’t worry, they won’t find me. My Weibo account wasn’t verified, and I’ve got someone to delete the surveillance footage at the scene. “Moreover, so what if they found out? Do you think Xyla Quest can do anything to me? Something so minor like this will be a cinch for my parents to take care of. Are you guys underestimating the Sullivan family?” Mary said with confidence. She firmly believed that she would be fine no matter what happened. With her parents’ support, something like this was not worth worrying about. “Stop spouting all that nonsense and let’s get high! I have to visit Emily at the detention center tomorrow and tell her this good news, hahaha!” Mary laughed openly. “Emily Quest has tricked your brother into a marriage by faking a pregnancy, and your brother is planning to divorce her. Do you still pl
Xyla hastily used the cutlery to take up a strand of noodles and put it in her mouth. The sweet and spicy taste spread across her taste buds. It was both stimulating and delicious. She gave him a thumbs-up as she ate. “The noodles are cooked just right. It’s the texture I like.” “That’s good then,” he said faintly, sitting down beside her to browse through Weibo’s search ranking. “Are you really not going to eat?” Xyla asked. “Yeah,” he simply answered. He frowned a little the moment he saw the number one search on the list. At that moment, the top of the list was dominated by #Josh Batton helping Xyla Quest deny rumors#. He glanced faintly at her before tapping into the search result before finally realizing what had happened. After a good look at Josh’s clarification statement and screenshots of his reply to fans, Stanley turned to Xyla who was focused on eating her noodles. “Why didn’t you tell me you were being slandered?” Xyla smiled. “Because I can take care of it
The other people quickly got close to Mary Sullivan and huddled over her as they looked expectantly at her phone.Mary directly opened Weibo and began counting down confidently.“Three… Two… One…” She counted.Everyone else held their breath in anticipation.Very soon, Mary arrived on the page. The first topic on the list was ‘#Josh Batton denies rumor about Xyla Quest#’.Closely after that, she pressed on the topic eagerly to witness Xyla being attacked verbally.However…When Mary saw the comments in the post, she was dumbfounded.Not only were the verbal attacks missing, but many fans of Josh Batton were also apologizing to Xyla one after another.At that moment, Mary felt as if she had been slapped a few consecutive times.It felt thoroughly embarrassing.Meanwhile, the three people next to Mary, who were also waiting for an exciting show, sighed disappointedly.“What’s going on, Mary? You seemed confident and sounded as if it would really happen. It turns out that isn’t the case a
“Don’t you know that Josh Batton worked with the Quest family in the past? Don’t you know how powerful the Quest family is? Do you really think Josh could have refused to help Xyla Quest if she asked him to? Aren’t you all too foolish? I’m telling you, if you don’t teach Xyla a lesson this time, she won’t give up. She’s still going to approach our Josh. What if she drugs him and sleeps with him?” Mary Sullivan wrote.After that, Mary snorted coldly and focused her attention on the screen.“Sisters, look, these brainless people will soon be triggered by what I wrote…” Mary said.Very soon, many began to spam the group.“Do you mean to say our beloved idol was forced to deny the rumors? Oh my god, it was exactly what I thought. However, I heard that Xyla Quest is already married. Wouldn’t her husband keep an eye on her?” You and Me Under the Tree wrote.“Married? From what I know, Xyla is in an open relationship with her husband. Why would he care? She has slept with many young, handsome
