“Fine, you’ve already deleted her contact anyway. That will be the end of that, but please don’t do this again,” Annabeth Cates told her husband.“We’ll discuss it next time then,” Josh Batton replied and then handed his phone over to her again. “How do you plan to speak up for Xyla?”Annabeth directly logged into his Weibo account before forwarding a post by Quest Group. It was a post related to the medicine for leukemia.“Get your facts right before criticizing others. I support Xyla Quest,” she typed.Immediately after that, she turned her attention to Josh. “Will this do?”He still had an affectionate look in his eyes. “As long as you’re fine with it.”“I think it’s fine,” she said confidently before pressing the button to publish the post.Instantly, the comment section under post went wild—“Josh, are you crazy? Things are already getting out of hand. Why are you still supporting Xyla? Don’t you want to live anymore?”“Xyla is selling fake medicine. How could you support
Things were getting out of hand, but the President and Vice President never addressed the public.The longer they waited, the more frustrated everyone seemed to be.The protesters weren’t only holding up banners but began to scream crazily.Everything very quickly made its way onto the internet.Everyone condemned the President and Vice President for not responding to protect Xyla Quest, who had become the talk of the town.Outside, it was raining cats and dogs.Xyla was still sitting calmly in her office in Quest Group, silently reviewing work documents while ignoring whatever was happening outside.Sometimes, paying too much attention to those things only made her exhausted. She was better off completely ignoring those people.Once the truth came out, it would all be over anyway.By noon, the criticisms had escalated to an extreme level.Weibo even crashed several times because of the high volume of traffic.After technicians fixed the app for the last time, a famous docto
The public’s comments turned positive within an instant.After working for a while, Xyla Quest began to feel a little tired. She turned off her laptop and launched Weibo for an update.The things she read on Weibo were just as she expected.At that point, she noticed unread messages flooding her Weibo inbox—“Xyla, I’m so sorry. I didn’t think you’d be such an amazing person.”“Thank you for contributing to the betterment of mankind.”“To be honest, if the medicine works, five thousand isn’t a lot. Long live Xyla.”“Xyla, you’re the most wonderful person in the world. I’m sorry.”At the same time, Xyla also saw a post that drew her attention. “@XylaQuest, your medicine is sold out on the official sales channel. When will there be a replenishment? Are there any other channels I could purchase from?”This comment came from the leukemia expert, Larry Wick, who had previously claimed he would never buy the medicine from Xyla even if she begged him.When Xyla saw this abject pos
Xyla Quest was happy and excited about this as it meant she would be able to help countless leukemia patients in the future.Nobody would have to go bankrupt because of treatment costs ever again.While browsing, Xyla suddenly saw a new hot topic on the number one spot, ‘#The President talks about Resurrection Pill’s ingredients#’.Xyla instantly clicked on it, seeing a Weibo post the President had recently published—“The Resurrection Pill is made from various rare medicinal ingredients. Indeed, all the costs involved added up to five thousand.“I once asked how much it was going to retail for, and Xyla told me she’d set it at the cost price so that everyone could afford it. She hoped nobody would suffer from leukemia ever again.“On top of that, Quest Group can offer a full waiver for those who can’t afford to fork out five thousand dollars by submitting documents to prove your financial situation.”The President’s Weibo post was only published less than a minute ago, and ther
“What?” Xyla Quest asked in curiosity.“Stand up and look outside,” Sophie Kenwick immediately said. “What’s happening outside? Have the protesters left?” They should be gone by now since the whole matter was resolved. Xyla had turned the situation around.Sophie immediately shook her head. “I knew it. You’ve been busy at work, so you have no idea what’s happening. Hurry up, come and see.”Xyla glanced at her in confusion before standing up to walk over to the French windows.Looking down, she saw many people gathered downstairs, chanting something.Xyla was too far away to determine what they were shouting, let alone make sense of their unsynchronized voices.After paying close attention for a long while, she finally managed to pick up part of what they were saying—“Xyla is pretty and kind. Xyla, you’re an angel. We’re demons. Xyla, we’re truly sorry.”They were saying the same things even though they were barely synchronized.Xyla smiled as she listened, feeling enter
Sophie Kenwick followed Xyla Quest forward obediently.Wherever Xyla went, she would go.Sophie looked up, seeing Xyla’s pretty face from the side.Even with the barest makeup and a simple down jacket, Xyla was ridiculously beautiful and looked like a white peony in full bloom.She was noble and angelic, yet she also seemed unapproachable. Sophie couldn’t resist sighing and thinking, ‘She’s so pretty.’They took the elevator down to the first floor, where numerous employees had gathered in front of the main lobby’s french windows.When they saw Xyla, they instantly dispersed and disappeared within seconds…She led Sophie to the door, remaining tight-lipped.Outside, those people were still chanting along with the advertisement on the large screen. From up close, the crowd seemed larger than what she saw from upstairs, making things seem more spectacular.These people were deafening.Right then, someone spotted Xyla and began to shout excitedly. “Xyla is here!”As soon
Xyla Quest and the others looked toward where the sound had come from, but she could not see anything as there were too many people around her.Soon, people began stepping aside to make way for the woman.A tearful, middle-aged woman, who stood at the end of the crowd, appeared before Xyla.She recognized this woman as Maggie Carlton, a leukemia expert who once disparaged Xyla on Weibo.Maggie had been less than kind in her comments about Xyla previously, calling her out for being a terrible capitalist and a liar.She even said only fools would buy the Resurrection Pills and that whoever believed in Xyla would pay for their foolishness.Seeing how her demeanor had changed from being arrogant to humble in light of recent events made Xyla feel a little unnerved.Soon, Maggie quickly ran up to Xyla, falling to her knees directly in front of her before she could speak.Xyla’s eyes widened in surprise. “What are you doing?”“Xyla, you are amazing! Can you be my mentor? I’m willing
The tall, wealthy, and handsome men began speaking one after another—“Nice to meet you, Miss Quest. I’m the CEO of Stark Group. I’m here to thank you for curing my grandfather of his illness.”“I’m the CEO of Woolson Group. Thank you for getting rid of my mother’s illness.”“I’m-”They began introducing themselves one after another, then thanking Xyla Quest for rescuing their family members.By the time they finished, Xyla was holding multiple credit cards in her hands.Chuckling when she saw the thick stack of credit cards, she returned them to each of them. “Please, I'll accept your gratitude in words, but money isn’t necessary. I don’t need it.”The men laughed, saying they would allow Quest Group to earn a larger share of profits if they worked as partners in the future.Some even said they would prioritize artistes from X Entertainment should their companies invest in films or television dramas.Xyla chuckled. “We’ll discuss it next time.”The men were acting respectful
