When Xyla Quest heard these things being said about her, she felt as if these people were throwing punches at her head.As she looked around at the hostile faces around her, she instantly thought it was pointless to defend herself with logic.Such a feeling made Xyla feel suffocated.There was no reason to explain herself to these people because they were not a usual group of people.Therefore, Xyla pushed Georgie aside before standing in front of the middle-aged woman.“There is a surveillance camera in front of our company’s main entrance. The footage will show clearly what happened. My car isn’t cheap. The hood alone cost at least a few hundred thousand dollars. Are you going to pay me in cash, or will you issue me an invoice first?” Xyla asked.The middle-aged woman was stunned when she heard what Xyla said.“A few hundred thousand dollars? Are you trying to rob me? Pay you? That’s impossible,” the woman said after a gulp.“Sure, that’s fine. I’ll leave everything to the la
“Xyla Quest, do you think I won’t kill you?” A young lady suddenly shouted as she ran forward and pointed at Xyla’s face.After that, the lady raised her hand and was about to slap Xyla.However, without saying anything or showing any change in facial expression, Xyla grabbed the lady’s hand just in time and brought her to the ground with a shoulder throw.Xyla’s action gave the people around her a fright. They were all stunned by what she did.It happened so fast that the young lady could not even react in time.By the time the young lady recollected herself, her body had started to ache all over.“You… How dare you hit me?” She pointed at Xyla as she tried to help herself up.“That’s called self-defense. You don’t have what it takes to kill me,” Xyla said as she looked down calmly at the young lady.“Is there anyone else who wants to hit me? Come on. I will take any of you on,” Xyla said with a raised voice as she looked around confidently at the people around her.Meanwhile, the peo
“Naturally, we’ll wait. I don’t think it was necessarily Mary Sullivan who made them say those things. Perhaps, not all of them were bribed by Mary. Some of them might have not liked me from the start. This was merely a good opportunity for them to jump on the bandwagon,” Xyla Quest said before smiling bitterly.“That makes sense. To be honest, some people can hate others for no reason in a lot of cases. Since you are living a seemingly good life, and their lives suck, they have turned you into a target for their negativity. Humans really are the worst. Although some people say demons are terrifying, I think a human’s heart is the most terrifying thing,” Georgie said.“Yeah. A human’s heart is indeed complicated, Georgie. Anyway, have you had breakfast?” Xyla turned to look at Georgie.“No, I haven’t. Why don’t you have breakfast with me? It’ll make you feel better,” Georgie said as she shook her head.Xyla nodded before driving away.Due to the commotion earlier, Xyla was not in a par
“You seem like a pure lady. However, how could you do something so shameless? You embarrass the female population. Even when standing next to you in person, I find you disgusting. Fortunately, syphilis and AIDS aren’t transmissible diseases. Otherwise, I would have been terrified,” Mary Sullivan said before rolling her eyes at Xyla Quest.Mary then took a step back and quickly shook her head as she made annoying tutting sounds.When Xyla saw Mary’s face, she began to feel irritated again.How shameless could Mary be to taunt her victim after being the cause of that person’s suffering? Mary was acting as if she had not done anything wrong.“Once I find out who came up with those rumors to intentionally affect my reputation, I will make her pay for it,” Xyla said coldly.“Hahaha, rumors? You really are funny. Who would come up with rumors like that?” Mary immediately laughed out loud.“Clearly, someone who has nothing better to do. I believe people who do nasty things like this won’
As Mary Sullivan spoke, the fingerprints on her face became even more apparent. Her face soon became swollen.However, Xyla Quest could not be bothered to fight with her. Xyla pulled Georgie Clementine’s hand and began walking into the restaurant. Her high heels announced her departure with clear tapping sounds on the ground.Meanwhile, Mary decided to run after them.When Georgie saw Mary’s reflection in the glass wall, she immediately turned around and glared at Mary with her fist raised.Mary came to a halt instantly and did not run after them. Instead, she stomped her feet on the ground angrily.“Xyla Quest, you are done for! I am extremely happy about it,” Mary shouted.However, Xyla ignored her completely.“Beep, beep, beep—” Right then, Mary’s phone rang.When Mary saw that it was a familiar series of numbers, she quickly got into her car and picked up the call suspiciously.“Hello,” she said.“I’ve done everything you asked me to,” a man’s cold voice could be heard from the oth
“You have a very nice name. Glad to meet you,” Georgie Clementine said.“Glad to meet you too,” Morty Wayne said.“How old are you?” Georgie asked.“Nineteen. I’m currently studying classical music at Atlantis College of Music. I’m in my third year,” Morty answered truthfully.“Add me on WeChat. If you are willing to, you can talk to me on WeChat. Perhaps, you might be curious about certain things at our company. You can ask me about them on WeChat too. The phone number on that name card is my WeChat number,” Georgie said.“Okay,” Morty said as he nodded obediently.“I’ll add you in a short while,” he said and smiled pleasantly. His dimples appeared once more.“Okay, get back to work then,” Georgie said and chuckled.“Alright, I’ll get going now, Chief Clementine.” Morty nodded respectfully at Georgie once more.After finishing his sentence, Morty smiled before he turned around and left.Apart from Josh Batton’s smile, this was the most beautiful smile Georgie had seen.Morty
The negative comments about Xyla Quest became even more offensive over the next ten hours.Although Xyla was not sure how many of them were bribed to write such things, and how many of them were merely bystanders, she was certain it was impossible that all of them were bribed.Some of them must have been influenced by others to jump on the bandwagon. Perhaps, these people had always been critical of others and merely took this opportunity to vent their hatred. They could also be Josh Batton’s fans.With different types of people involved and various cruel comments mixed, Xyla felt disgusted by what she read.There would always be a group of people in the world who derived pleasure from verbally hurting other people through hateful comments on the internet.To these people, their keyboards were like their weapon of choice. They liked to vent their suppressed negative emotions through a set of self-defined logic in the real world.After briefly looking through the comments, Xyla exited f
Xyla picked up the call immediately.“Did you see the most popular topics on the internet?” A familiar voice was immediately heard before Xyla Quest could even speak.The voice belonged to Mary Sullivan.From her voice, Xyla could sense that Mary was extremely pleased and sardonic at the same time. Xyla instantly felt annoyed.“What do you want?” Xyla asked.“I don’t want anything. I only called to ask you how you feel. It must feel terrible to be yelled at by people, right? Hahaha…” Mary said before bursting into laughter.“Congratulations, you must be happy to have acquired the titles of b*tch, an evil woman, Snow White’s stepmother, the old witch, and various other names,” Mary added softly but obnoxiously.“Has anybody ever told you not to count your chickens before they hatch?” Xyla asked coldly.“Hahaha, I don’t think it’s too soon at all… You really should blame yourself. Why do you go around seducing handsome, young men? You even thought of getting your way with Josh Batton. Ts
