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
The hate speech against Xyla Quest on the internet intensified.The comment section on Xyla’s Weibo page was too horrible to look at.People in various groups were adding insult to injury as they made fun of her.***After approximately ten minutes, the leader of ‘Josh Batton’s Wives’ group, Coffee Bean personally published a Weibo post to apologize to Xyla and Josh for believing in false rumors and leading the cyberbullying against Xyla. In fact, the leader had even personally tagged Xyla and Josh in the post.Below the Weibo post, the false accusations made by ‘Little Cutie’ in the group were pinned at the top.Xyla directly forwarded the Weibo post and shared a screenshot of Little Cutie’s IP address, which indicated she was in the Sullivan family’s villa, to the public.“@MarySullivan, is @LittleCutie your account? Is it fun creating false rumors and pretending to be innocent and kind? It’s a shame you didn’t become a scriptwriter based on your ability to create an entire story out
Someone wrote, ‘Oh, my goodness. What an evil woman! Mary Sullivan personally set up this entire scheme and even acted all innocent on Weibo. She pretended to be kind. Augh…’‘I really would like to ask, when will Mary Sullivan die? Xyla Quest, I am so sorry. It was my mistake for believing all of this. I must have been blind,’ added someone else.After reading these comments, Xyla immediately let out a long sigh of relief. A satisfactory smile appeared on her face. Closely thereafter, she visited Mary’s main account on the ‘Mary Sullivan’ page.As soon as Xyla opened Mary’s first Weibo post, she could see that the comments section was filled with various hateful comments.Someone wrote, ‘I knew you weren’t kind! Bullsh*t! Do you enjoy cyberbullying others that much? Today, I’ll let you have a taste of your own medicine. Go to hell, will you?’‘Mary Sullivan, you don’t deserve to be a human. You don’t have a heart. Tsk, tsk. People like you should get run over by a car when you leave t
What was Josh Batton thinking? As a popular celebrity, he was not supposed to say things like that.Xyla Quest immediately picked up the phone and called Josh. As soon as he answered, she asked, “Mister, can you please think carefully before you speak?”“I did think about it carefully. What’s the matter? Do you think I said something wrong?” said Josh with a chuckle.Josh was sitting in the makeup area of a studio while he waited for a magazine shoot. Apart from his stylist and the stylist’s assistant, there were many other female staff who worked for the magazine company around him.He was wearing a white shirt on the inside and a houndstooth coat on the outside. The ladies were all taking photos of him with their phones. Each of them gasped at how handsome he looked while they did so.Although these young women were ogling him, Josh never once looked at them. Instead, he smiled at his own reflection in the mirror, with his phone in his hand, waiting for Xyla to say something.“
Xyla Quest had always thought of Josh Batton as a business partner. To her, he was merely an artiste who could rake in a lot of money for her company.However, now that he was confessing his feelings for her, how should she reject him? How could she politely reject him without hurting his feelings?Xyla felt a headache coming on. The more she thought about it, the worse the headache became. Therefore, she opened Weibo once again.The first thing that came into sight was the note that she had over 9,999 notifications. Subconsciously, she clicked on the notifications panel. There were countless private messages, tags, and comments.Instead of taking a closer look at the comments, she directly opened her private messages. They were all from people who either had Josh’s name or his picture on their profiles.‘Sister Xyla Quest, I’m so sorry that I jumped on the bandwagon and insulted you. I’m truly sorry. Mary Sullivan went too far. I will scold her for you,’ someone said.‘Sob, sob. My fa
