Chapter 217
After that, Xyla introduced Josh to Lana. The trio was chattering on like they were very well acquainted. Mary, who remained standing not too far away, was extremely jealous. In recent years, she had spent a lot of money on him, but Josh never treated her that way before. He was gentle and polite to her, but there was still a sense of detachment. But what about Xyla? They looked very friendly with each other. Having been a fan of Josh Batton for so many years, this was her first time seeing him getting so close to a woman. Even if he co-starred with someone for a film or drama, he would intentionally keep a distance and refrain from chatting this leisurely during the press. The way Josh treated Xyla was Mary’s dream of how he would treat her. Chasing after him for so long and following him everywhere, it was all so that she could get closer to him. But no matter how she tried, it failed. If she could not attain it, why should Xyla? “That’s Xyla Quest, right? Feels lik

The photo was of their side profiles. However, due to the angle, Xyla Quest’s head seemed to be leaning on Josh Batton’s shoulder in the picture. Her hair was floating, so her hair covered most of her face. Although her looks were not clear, her temperament looked divine. Josh was looking at the runway expressionlessly, seeming to be a little indifferent. In an instant, the ‘Josh Batton’s Wives’ group chat, consisting of three hundred members, immediately exploded. Josh’s Biggest Wife typed, “??? Who is this woman? Is she trying to gain popularity? Don’t touch my husband!!! Angry.jpeg” Josh’s Girlfriend commented, “Can she stay further away from my boyfriend? Where did this fool come from? Who is she? Angry.jpeg” Josh’s Fingernail texted, “This is because our Brother Josh is too popular that he gets flies everywhere he goes. But what’s wrong with that woman? Her head is almost on his shoulder!” Josh’s Cutie added, “We don’t even dare to touch the man, but she’s leaning on

When Xyla led Lana and Josh out of the venue after the crowd, the snow had started falling outside. The entire world was blanketed in white. As her legs were bare, it felt like knives were carving onto her flesh when the cold breeze blew. In an instant, there were goosebumps on her fair white legs. However, she remained unfazed as she continued forward. Snowflakes fell onto their heads like tender swan feathers, barely melting away. Josh was the first to stop. He looked at Xyla gently and smiled, asking, “Are you really not coming to supper with us?” Xyla shook her head and rubbed her hands together. “I’m really not going. I have to return to the office.” Josh added, “Do you want me to send you ladies back?” Xyla replied, “No need… We drove here.” The photographer spoke up due to the cold, “Brother Josh, it’s too cold. Let’s get back into the car.” Josh glanced at him before waving at Xyla. “I’ll be taking my leave then…” He swiftly took off his suit jacket and

Josh smiled. He casually took out his phone and started looking at today’s Weibo’s hottest search ranking. Those gloomy topics on Weibo have finally disappeared. Even that search about Emily Quest’s scandal was gone. The hottest topics now were about Chanel’s fashion show. Most of the searches were about celebrities watching the show. #Josh Batton watching the show# was number one on the list, followed by exciting headlines. Opening an article out of habit, the first image to meet his eyes were nine photos of him watching the show in three by three grid styles, posted by X Entertainment’s official Weibo account. Next, he started looking at them one by one. Xyla had been captured in each of those photos, but her brilliance was not outshined by his. Whenever his fingers swiped to the next photos, his eyes would inadvertently stop at her face for the longest time. The photographer was reluctant to give up after not receiving a response. He asked again, “Come on, Brother Jo

They gathered fans to start attacking Xyla on the internet, trying to help enforce the unspoken rules in regards to treating their idol. The other group of people started madly posting abusive comments on Xyla’s photo with Josh and on her personal blog, requesting Xyla to apologize for sexually harassing Josh Batton. They even posted the photo that Mary had sent to the group, telling everyone that Xyla was intentionally leaning on their idol’s shoulder and that she was sly and shameless. They also kept adding information and telling netizens that Xyla Quest had sexually harassed their idol during the show. Saying that Xyla was sticking to him and that their idol had a job contract with her, so he could not lash out. In an instant, they attracted a lot of people who came to watch the drama… Many netizens who didn’t know the truth joined in and berated Xyla in her blog. Xyla had no idea that all of this was happening. After Xyla sent Lana home, she was about to turn her car
Chapter 222
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
